That end of the half man.

This team has very few guys that take pride rebounding. Tobias Harris and PJ Tucker must have money on Boston. Ridiculous.

Allowing Horford to get that look.

Maxey with the ridiculous shot trying to get a 2 for 1.

Harris / Tucker / Melton have to do something or I have a terrible feeling this half.

They are going to blitz Harden this half and try to make those other guys make shots.

Tobias Harris is 6-8, 220lbs and can jump but he refuses to play above the rim. He keeps trying to put up floating layups rather than bringing the thunder and daring someone to block his hammer dunk. He keeps turning his hand under to lay the ball up underhanded rather than turning it over and jamming that damn thing.

He's just so damn soft and passive. It's infuriating.

I’ll be honest.

The way Harden looked scared to shoot in game 3 had me worried he couldn’t do this today.

Good for him though.

Yeah man like he could be so good if he played with an edge like Tucker. Actually a really good player would be someone with Tobias’ build and skill, and Tuckers edge.

But next year they need to find a 4 that will rebound hard. Embiid is asked to contest a lot, those other guys have to be hitting the boards hard.

I would love someone that is a great rebounder + lob threat if Harden is back.

The Maxey shot selection has left a lot to be desired.

He continues to try to go at Robert Williams. That’s the 4th time he has blocked him this series in basically the same layup attempt.

He is too long for you man stop it.

Got a bad feeling about this qtr - unless someone other than Harden/Embiid steps up

They play so dumb.

And it’s the old guys like Niang committing very stupid foils man.

That was a truly awful 3-pt attempt by Niang. Leads to an easy transition bucket for the Celts.
