This is why nobody respects NBA officials. Might as well have a magic 8 ball make these calls.

I think the strategy with Embiid is just like with Durant last year, as others have mentioned.

Swarm him, and force him to make decisions (and frustrate him as well). He'll give up. You can employ the same with Harden when Embiid's on the bench. Sixers don't have too many other playmakers besides Maxey I guess and their bench is meh

Embiid playing like a dog. 10pts with less than 8mins to go…
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

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.

When the refs aren’t falling for Embiid’s foul grifting, he’s not all that great. One of the main reasons he’s not been nearly as good in the postseason.

Yeah same with Harden.

Not to say Harden's been bad this series, in fact he's been one of the best players, BUT usually he isn't as effective when the refs aren't aiding him as well. Same thing during his Rockets years

5 on Embiid. If they can force him to pick up another foul, it's over. No Embiid, no Harden

The Nets can literally put this away with a few more buckets and they can't score...
