At this rate, James Harden will be 1-9 in elimination games since 2016.

Maybe if he got into shape and actually attacked the rim instead of flopping he would have had some success.

He fundamentally has a losing style because his top priority is not to put the ball through the hoop. Too many flops, theatrics, and acting jobs.
Inclined to agree with you, but I also think he’s lost a step as well. Even beyond his conditioning. He’s going to age more typically than a guy like CP or LeBron

Just keep the pressure or another 4 minutes and it's done
Back to wanting Joe fired.

I got to say, good job Joe for motivating the players to play like this.

Joe > Doc...

Yeah... probably...Doc is terrible though...so it's not saying much

Good challenge. It's also basically a timeout anyways, which we needed. Don't let them cut this to under 15 soon

If Foster could call a 10 point foul, he would right now

It is a block - but ball at its zenith. Wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t overturn.

There also seems to be a lot of mental going on there too. I think he is aware he has lost a step, and as such has little faith in himself as a scorer. He occasionally is feeling it (as we have seen this series), and can still go nuclear, but he doesn't seem to believe in himself anymore.

These refs are booty, so they'll probably not overturn it.

two players literally chasing tatum on that layup; the sixers are completely gassed. it would be hilarious if joe inserted PP to push the pace for 4-5 minutes.
