    Damnit James…. A real champion would have had DJ in the way back machine catching lobs left and right.

    That second half + Doc Rivers' stubborn commitment to DJ =

    We’ll do a really good job of generating really good shots, making sure we get really good shots, and not turn the ball over,” Harden added. “Every series, every playoff game, if you rebound the basketball, don’t turn it over. You give yourself a really good chance to win. I think that’s really the key.”

    Proceeds to generate 5 assists and 5 turnovers.

    This is over. It's probably for the best. Rivers will die on this sword and get canned for MDA this off season. Such an inept coach.

    It's probably the hamstring and extra weight but I'm gonna wonder about long COVID too. Has to be at least a few players impacted, just based on the stats in the general population.

    Looks like Cassell calls him over to have a chat with him. Harden probably went over there to do the same thing.

    Maybe he has forgotten how to catch and shoot after so long being the dominant ball handler.

    I believe that over the years, he has gradually formed habits that became irreversible as he gets older. He's pretty much two things: drive (and dish) and step back 3. Now he can't drive by defender at will like he used to, the only thing in his habitual bag is step back 3. If it's not there, he just passes off.

    Some people really don't understand the concept of a better team winning games against a worse team.

    Half Time Adjustments.
    One team looks like they made them.
    The other team did not adjust to the adjustment

    Doc’s stubborn ass is costing the Sixers dearly. I’m wondering when Morey will finally have had enough of the guy. That’s assuming that he has the pull with ownership to tell Doc to move on at season’s end, assuming Philadelphia doesn’t advance, a reasonable assumption, in my opinion.
