Unless he's too sick to do it, Maxey needs to drive to the hoop more. They are relying too much on Embiid and an unreliable Tobias.

Nurse is no different than Rivers.

Too hardheaded to understand that you can't play unathletic players vs hyper athletic opponents.

Again. He's got Harris and Batum on the floor and they're ineffective on both ends. They're both nonexistent on offense.

Neither is a dribble drive threat so they get overplayed and can't put the ball on the floor nor can they make clean passes.

Need to see some Ricky Council this series.

Cam Payne's defense may be suspect, but he gives the offense some needed juice when he's out there.

Nurse needs to consider giving him some minutes here and there, especially if Hield is giving you nothing.

Maxey needs to keep attacking the paint and Oubre needs to start scoring.

It will make it easier for Embiid to take over when he needs to .

Nick Nurse is not the coach I thought he was or that I hoped he was. They would be better served with younger, more athletic, more aggressive players like Council, Martin and Reed. Reed would be cleaning up these loose ball boards.

Refs swallowing their whistles to a ridiculous degree on that inbounds play.

That's on Nurse for still having Harris and Batum on the floor. They were nailed to the ground and never moved.

Complete meltdown by the Sixers at the end to blow a game they had in the bag.

Nurse has lost both of these playoff games.
