Game isn't over.  Keep playing guys.

These refs

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

Yep! He gets credit today. They've played with intensity and energy from the get-go.

He's had a few questionable rotation decisions, but other than that can't fault him today. With all the adjustments already made, for coaches Game 7s are mainly about having your guys ready and not feeling the moment. He's done a good job of that today, especially coming out of the half and getting Tatum the ball when they're not doubling it.

Bad call

[PAOBoston]

The refs just making up calls the last few possessions

[jpotter33]

What a terrible call even on the challenge. When you can't even get the call right with the help of review, that's a problem.

[angryguy77]

Anyone just tuning could tell foster is the ref after that call

[liam]

 They can't even make the right call with a replay!

[Goldstar88]

Embiid just going through the motions at this point.

[satch]

Game is not over unless philly quits.

[Kernewek]

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

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.

Yeah could be. I think he really wanted to coast into shape this season with KD and Kyrie taking the lead, similar to the OKC situation.

[liam]

Can they fire Doc before the game ends?

[Who]

Cruisin'

[SCeltic34]

Tatum is... there's no words for this performance.

He was quicker with the subs too. Made sure RW3 was aligned with PJ Tucker which I liked.

Al has also made the defence immensely good.
