[@traviskrueger9531]

Boston needs to get their offense going around 5 seconds earlier than what they did on that last possession. If you leave Philly 8 seconds to work with you live with it, if it’s a tie game that’s different but give yourself a chance at a rebound putback or the chance to foul and get another possession when your down.

[@markellison143]

Yea, that last possession was a failure by the whole Boston coaching staff. Looked like they still had two time outs to work with, why not use one and set something up. Boston still got a good look, but like you said took too long and it cost them.

[@prettymax18]

​@@Eythora94 it depends to the coach wether if he wants to call for a timeout or not, you're right sometimes you just let them play and trying to avoid inbound violations, though there are some coaches that instead of letting their players to make their own play they want to make sure that they call for a timeout to make it clear to the team that here's the play that we are gonna do, reminding their boys tha we only have this time, making sure that the ball will be inbound successfully, in basketball or any sports it happens even veteran coaches sometimes they make wrong decisions but a good coach will stand on his feet no matter what

[@hoanghale2671]

[@rubenpita1585]

Now this is clear as clean water. 76ers changes depend on Harden he has demostrated in this series that when he plays confident, he is that dude. I just hope he continue to play freely because as good as Embiid is, now we know what Boston defense can do on him with the double team and with Maxey at the ring. To me Boston is the best team in this year playoffs and we are looking at them eyes to eyes. So, the winner of this series can easily be the NBA Champions.

a lot depends on the health of Embid, he looked hurt and tired here. Philly have to find a way to have Harden free to shoot but not pressured to shoot like in Houston where he has to score min 36 or they lose.
