I'm shocked Jason Kidd didn't turn to Dereck Lively or Daniel Gafford down the stretch with James Harden getting into the paint and using his floater.

Maxi Kleber might as well not be there on this play. The Mavs needed more lengthy rim protection.

Resilient win by the Clippers. No Kawhi Leonard. Blown 31-point lead. Yet they held on to win on the road.

James Harden and Paul George were sensational.

Think Nurse wanted to win the first 2:30 of 4th keeping Embiid in with Brunson out. But… the last mins of 4th were not pretty for Embiid. OG worked like crazy fronting him, NY doubled a lot, even leaving Maxey open. (missed both looks off the double) PHI couldn’t get Def boards…

Should Joel Embiid have rested in the second half? I agree with what Richard Jefferson said on the broadcast: It would’ve been a 10-point differential if he did.

This isn’t meant to excuse his terrible 4th quarter. Embiid needed to be better. But the Sixers get roasted any time he’s out.

Joel Embiid just logged the 11th postseason loss of his career in which he finished with a positive plus-minus.

It has happened in all 3 losses of Sixers-Knicks. The Sixers are now a +34 with Embiid in 161 minutes on the floor and -37 without him in 31 minutes this series.

I honestly can’t believe the Celtics didn’t realize they should pressure Miami’s team of non point guards until Game 3.

Agreed. This was my point as well. Also, any of the bigs the Thunder could have in theory overpaid for weren't worth it either. Better off sitting on all the assets for much bigger fish and draft night flexibility.
