A lot of people are saying we lost this series in Game 4. Personally, I feel it was Game 1. I can live with a close loss on the road with a PHI team literally playing desperate to save their season. And they were healthy.
However, Game 1 there was NO Embiid, and you were at home. And it's not just that Harden put up 45, but you let Melton and others also torch you which shouldn't happen.
They put themselves in a tough spot losing Game 1 the way they did and given the circumstances. Teams with killer instincts blow the other team out when missing their best player.
