[BelmontShore]

Close early.

Harris an early no show.

[BelmontShore]

No defense by either team in the 1st Q.

Harris pissing me off playing small and disinterested.

PatBev is playing much, much better than I thought he would.

38-36.

[BelmontShore]

Harris is such a damn liability in big games, especially against athletic bigs. Not a factor on either end of the floor. He's especially bad on the defensive end and rebounding. He just doesn't help Embiid on the boards enough.

[BelmontShore]

Harris just avoiding the physical stuff on the boards on the defensive end like the plague.

[BelmontShore]

Holy Fuck what an offensive explosion from both team. Combo of disinterested defensive effort and some terrific shot making by both teams.

[BelmontShore]

78-78. Halftime.

[BelmontShore]

Offensive rebounds are keeping the Nuggets in this game. 14 orebs is unacceptable. Embiid has to constantly rotate to handle dribble penetration and Harris/Batum are rooted to the floor when the ball goes up.

14-3 difference.

[BelmontShore]

76ers starting to slow down in this B2B.
