GOTTA MAKE LAYUPS IN TRANSITION OR KICK OUT JAYLEN

Refs are quietly rigging this game

Doesn't seem so quiet. Embiid clearly fouled Tatum.

Just don't let all the 3's go to their heads like it so often does.

It is exactly what has happened, because it is an unsustainable coaching scheme. Joe gives no value to paint touches

[BASS_THUMPER]

Embiid is already gassed haha

Im pretty sure you couldnt play a half court game  of 5 on 5..

Wow !!!!  Good Timeout Joe.

(Not being sarcastic either)

I know we hate the philosophy, but the 3s are falling tonight. And most of these are great looks

If the philosophy is to shoot open 3s and 3s that come after ball movement that has put the Sixers into rotation, then I don’t hate the philosophy at all. 3s in themselves aren’t bad as long as the shot selection is good and for the most part it has been.

Also with Embiid in the paint it’s a lot harder to attack the rim, he’s already blocked and altered a lot of shots. I’m sure they will attack the paint more when he sits.

It’s just hard because the 3 is the longest shot and when it misses it’s easy to think “if they were closer to the rim it would have gone in”. And many of us started watching the NBA when taking 15 threes a game was a lot, now they take 50

We've lost the balance we started with. No paint touches

Embiid’s presence has been a factor. Him not getting called for fouls helps as well.

[coco]

Too much with the 3.
Not a good sign

[celticinorlando]

Philly has one foul called on them

TIME TO GET BACK IN THE PAINT MEN

WE NEED HIGH PERCENTAGE TOUCHES AND DRAW FOULS

It's the same presence that was there at tip-off. We are not even looking to penetrate

it's becoming clear why Foster was assigned tonight.

Loving the game not loving the non foul calls on Embiid. Tatum got mauled by him and zip.
