Smart with a terrible pass on that last inbounds play too. He could have gone to Pritchard near half court who was wide open.

No, it was a good pass, but Kanter was in the wrong spot.

Of course people blame Smart again. Jeebus.

Half court pass was the wrong call. It's probably on coach.

It looked like a set play, with 1 person was in the wrong place.

I know they were down Drummond, but I wasn’t exactly like Embid was wiped down the stretch. I think we win this with Williams, Horford and time lord. So sick of these Covid games

I guess the beautiful ball movement from a few games ago is long gone.
16 total assists, and 13 of them came from Tatum-Brown-Smart + 18 turnovers uggg.

Tatum lackadaisical on that lost inbounds play .......... what is with that guy ?

Looked like a terrible pass to me.

Tatum stopped moving towards the ball. Green didn't stop and kept coming into the pass. Lackadaisical is the perfect word. Both of our "stars" were mostly terrible down the stretch. They both gave up big 3s by straying too far from their man. Both had stupid turnovers, usually when they were trying to drive one against four.

It looked like the ball should've gone to the other side.

Yeah, Embiid was in the way!

Which is why Brown was mad at Freedom - didn't spread the floor.

Ime should've tried something different with Embiid. Freedom was getting killed especially in the 4th. Freedom went 40 minutes. Too much.

Agreed @ this is a failure on both.

Didn't wanna take this fight cuz I'm already picking a fight about the Smart pass that was perfectly fine if Freedom hadn't been in the wrong place :]

So who else do you wanna put on the league's best big man?

When your 3 best Embiid defenders are out ... not many options.

We probably win it just with Timelord if he doesn’t not play 15 minutes before game time due to personal reasons. Embiid can’t shoot those short jumpers that easily with Timelord’s length.

I have Kanter as the 3rd best Embiid defender.  He’s done a decent enough job on him in the past.
