    What is Philly's offensive identity? All they seem to have is Embiid at the high post and some on-ball screens for Harden, who doesn't look to score any more for whatever reason.

    Theoretically with their roster they should have a high-powered offense capable of pouring points in but they've struggled to get buckets all playoffs long

    Maybe its Doc, but Harden is also just garbage scoring wise.

    This is why coaching matters. It's really not a coincidence Miami is always a cohesive team that plays hard. That alone will win you games.

    Im not sure if any coach can make Harden be aggressive.

    James Harden is the biggest reason Philadelphia is losing this series. He has been not as advertised. He looks like a complete shell of even last year's version of himself. If Morey is smart, he won't re-sign him.

    Doc Rivers is contracted through 2024-25 at $8 million per season.

    That's got to hurt

    Awfully quiet in the arena… it’s like Brooklyn’s home court with their “10 fans” amirite @Reeko?

    Wait, what are you guys going to do for the rest of the playoffs now that Philly's going to be eliminated? Who are you all going to argue about?
