Harden's shots are so bad it looks like he's been paid off to throw the game. He hasn't even come close to the rim, his shots haven't had a legitimate chance to go in, including 4 near air balls.

The bad news: We got horrible Harden today. The Good news: We're only down by 3 at halftime.

Celtics have Williams protecting the rim, with Horford outside, the 76ers have 6-4 Tucker playing help defense.

No signs of Reed from Rivers.

Well, Reed fouls a lot and can't create his own shot. I blame a lot of that on Rivers, because he can't be bothered with developing the young players. He did the same with Maxey that first year. Maxey was out of control a lot, but you could see he had skills. I never liked the Harden or Tucker signings. Then you trade Thybulle a good defensive player for McDaniel who River seldom uses or develops. Korkmaz is the forgotten one.

Harden should not take any more 3pt shots in the 2nd half. He needs to just drive to the basket and facilitate, otherwise he will shoot this team out of the game. He was a career 22% 3pt shooter in Game 7's coming into this one, and he's even worse today.

Choking game 6 at home ( w ref help) is one thing but if this continues w harden and embiid absolutely sucking it up would be peak philly.

My guess is Embiids injury is more serious and its greatly effecting his game.

It’s over folks. Sixers role players can’t win this game.

Rivers has their most electric player standing in the corner for entire shot clocks and never touching the ball.

Yep...

Choking so hard they are passing out..

We can’t win with Joel Embiid as our focus.

Totally okay to start thinking about what life without him looks like

When you can commit 3 players to defending Embiid, limiting his ability to create shots, you need a wing player who can handle and get his shot. The 76ers don't have a Tatum or a Brown or a Smart.
