ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

stop ya moanin

Several of harden’s shots have been off front rim. Shoulda done some more leg days. Was watching him on D as well. It’s pretty easy since he isn’t moving too much. Ok enough slander.

lol that shot of marcus annoying joel

celtics missing some good looks

and hitting some tough ones

they’ve been gangbusters closing quarters

xps re harden it really is wild how different he looked in game 1 vs the rest of the playoffs. feels like he completely shot his load of all his energy and stamina in that one game

surely this pattern is coincidental to his famously rigorous conditioning regimen

its just easier for him to do his thing without embiid out there too game 1 was classic harden ball spread shooters out and let him work

he likes simplified static offense never been a dynamic chaos man

simplicity on the court, dynamic chaos off

thats our guy james

Maxey has to do something (like that).

celtics purposely going at joel and its working, ok

harden just wont shoot

harden seeing ghosts out there

wow thought embiid would get a rest there but guess not

doris unrelenting praise of the players makes me miss jeffarino hot dog buddy

sixers look gassed

george keeping them in this

why did the grizzlies trade deanthony melton? was it just part of the package of their heel turn over the past year?

man harden is seeing ghosts

gotta say joel embiid stepping on the back of your head and driving your face directly into the ground sounds really unpleasant

that looked really painful

melton's only 24, too.

oh no joel stomped grant out that was brutal

celtics playing their slow down offense all quarter surely a good idea that has never caused problems before

grant coming back in <5 min from a joel embiid headstomp, salute

gotta love horford

grants tough man his face got smushed

great note from doris on him practicing that shot

everyone cooked rn when they fall down they just stay there for a while

killer stuff from tatum what else is there to say

yup celtics played the bad offense but tatum hit shots anyway can only tip your cap

lmao scott foster on the 5 second call gotta love it

making his presence felt

if tatum misses those shots everyone calls it hero ball kobe worship but these kinda playoff games are why wing scorers are so valuable. embiid didn’t have the same effect down the stretch

At least one of Harden or Maxey needs to have a good game for the Sixers to have a shot. Can't do what they've done these last two games.

embiid played great i was skeptical after last game but he looks back enough at least but sixers really need harden to not be the worst player on the court

that was a classic appalling james harden playoff game

maybe the worst one ever he was insanely bad

harden comes thru with another classic performance

passing up wide open floaters to pass to pj tucker bad

tatum’s kid <3

even duce is styling on grant give the guy a break a giant man just stepped on his face

Jayson said “Grant” and Deuce shook his head “no”

the crowd audibly groaning in disgust was really painful. in fairness to harden he did play much better immediately after that

maybe he wants to go back to houston so he wont have to be in the playoffs anymore

I’m a better man than the petty version of myself that just a few seconds ago thought “it would be funny if embiid comes back and the sixers lose in 5 or 6”

*evil laugh*

lol

no you were right, Embiid finally winning MVP after a year of whining that he hasn't won it yet and then returning to get crushed in 4 straight games really is the funniest outcome

I promise to be an embiid guy again if he pays his penance

hes really going for it

James Harden has made just five of 28 field goal tries (17.9%) since scoring 45 points in Philadelphia's Game 1 victory.

That's the worst field goal percentage over any two-game span in his career, regular season or playoffs, in which he's attempted at least 20 field goals. pic.twitter.com/imro199U6F
