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

You know, a timeout was probably needed there, Joe... Smart got the foul luckily, but you're endangering the players by letting them continue to play with the wet spot, let alone lettign Philly build momentum there.
