We got to stop leaving Tucker so alone in the corner... he's burned us too often by now.

You have to. You have to give something up. We simply cannot contain the PnR for whatever reason, so youhave to have Timelord there to help at the rim. I'll live with Tucker taking those over Harden or Embiid getting better paint looks.

It makes sense why it's so hard to guard imo. Harden was able to create the best offense in the NBA with a pick and roll and Clint Cappela as his roll guy. Now he has an MVP in that spot, and it's near-unstoppable.

We're not going to appreciate Harden until he's gone, but he's up there with Stockton and very few others as one of the best pick and roll ball handlers of all time. Some of the pocket passes he was making in Game 5 that appeared effortless were absolutely ridiculous.

Timelord needs to play most of this half. We literally managed him this whole season for these moments

Rob Williams the difference

Yup.series probably is over if this change was made earlier this week

All the media has been saying how bad he's looked, he must be injured, etc.

Uh, no. Joe has just iced him and put him in a completely different role than last year. For a support player like Timelord who is reliant on others to help get him offense, you're always going to look worse when playing with worse players. Same thing defensively.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

We need Tatum to do anything on offense

I think that's the idea. If he makes a couple, so be it.  The problem comes if he gets hot.

He's pretty much hitting 50% of his 3s this series.

It's not hard to drive and kick back to embiid. Harden is a talent no doubt...but no Stockton
Back to wanting Joe fired.

If JT just gave them one quarter of all nba first team basketball, they’d run away with this game.

Tatum made that, but that's an AWFUL possession with how he's bene playing.

Brogdon is absolutely awful defensively
A real lack of lateral quickness. Always been an issue for him but usually is solid enough defensively if he isn't facing speedy ball-handlers. Harden is picking him apart this series though. Disappointing to see Brogdon do so badly against Harden.

Al passionately implores his team during the TO to lock in and Jaylen immediately falls asleep and gives Harden a 3 pt play...ugh.
