That Robin Lopez hook shot is money. Can he come and teach that to Celtics players?
Teach it to Tacko and make him unstoppable

Yeah, Tacko needs that.


Is Embbid hurt?
He took a nasty fall attacking RoLo at the rim earlier. Could have aggravated his back issues

Philly is lost without Embiid. Simmons has taken 5 shots the whole game.... I get that he can’t shoot, but maybe drive to the rim? Develop a hook shot or a floater. Adapt.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Looked like he broke his tailbone. Right on the back.

They're saying knee issue for Embbid but it sure looked like his back.

Davis Bertans has been absolutely woeful these playoffs, continuing his trend of being a terrible playoff performer in general. Really soured on him this season
Sounds like a shooter we acquired before the trade deadline :laugh:
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

I mean, in this series vs the Nets, Fournier is averaging 15ppg, shooting 48% from 3pt and 90% from the line. Not really sure what more you can ask from him. He’s been playing well.

Man, I love Garford with the Wiz. He's very active and athletic.

This “Hack a Simmons” is BS. It ruins the game.

This is one of those "refs can't win" calls.  Whether this is ruled a flagrant or not, somebody is going to end up p---ed, lol.

Simmons is a liability in the playoffs. Become a 65% free throw shooter.

Fun game.  Happy to see the Wizards steal one.

Westbrook had an interesting game.  On one hand, 3-19 from the field and 4 turnovers... on the other, 21 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals, and 13-16 from the stripe.  It's like Bestbrook and Westbrick merged for this one, lol.

If Embiid misses significant time, the Wizards could be moving on to round 2 and become the first team in NBA history to come back from down 0-3.

Simmons shooting is unchanged after his rookie year. It matters
