rivers and harden doing rivers and harden things. tatum's had all day to throw 70 moves on his iso defender. you have to make tatum and brown passers. they're bad at it. they're very good at scoring in isolation. totally bizarre watching this game. and harden...man...how can you consistently be this bad in big moments. i've said dlo reminds me of harden in a lot of ways, and this is one of them. and embiid is doing ok, but he has to be better. they guarded him with smart to close the half. and the sixers didn't score every trip down. some of that's on doc, too, though. but man, if that was AD out there, we'd never hear the end of it.
Reaves, Vando are going to be the main guys on Murray. I also expect Schroder to get a little time with a full court press. DLo will most likely be on KCP. Lonnie and Brown might get some burn on either KCP, Bruce Brown or maybe Murray.
Impressive by Tatem. Boston has no depth. 7 deep, maybe. Those two forwards and an occasional Smart or Horford game. Think Miami can do anything? No Hero this time.
Tatum being a C bag is probably the thing that bothers me the most nowadays. I have to admit the guy is a great player and a joy to watch, the kind of player I would be rooting for even if not a Laker... but alas, he's a C bag. Doc Rivers is still living from a 15 years old title, although maybe that ends today.
