really smart of the sixers to hit 50% of all their threes — can’t believe no other team thought of this strategy before — very effective

Sixers need to build around Paul Reed

Seth Curry was criminally underused in this Sixers/Nets game 1. Play multiple guards and make Harden defend someone for God’s sake. They made this game way too easy for him. Brooklyn’s game plan in general was horrible. I’d rather give up 50 to Embiid then 30 wide open 3s.

I will never stop being amazed at Joel Embiid’s ability to switch onto the teams best offensive player & hold his own. His impact on both sides of the floor is truly generational.

Joel Embiid is just an unreal defender
Done some really special stuff in a number of situations today including shutting down Mikal Bridges on an iso and an impressive weakside block
There are very few as versatile and dominant as him on the defensive end
