      • Another awesome win! Pascal absolutely killing it, orchestrating the offence and kicking in his own scoring as needed. OG again starting slow but every defensively and hitting shots late. Barnes a little bit of everything, the couple days off should do his ankle good. Gary hit some shots and was active on D, no complaints there. Birch started hot but they forgot how to use him in the 3rd, but the defence was good and he bought them 11 minutes of break-even basketball in the toughest minutes of the game (freshest Embiid minutes, early 1st and early 3rd), which let them keep Precious to high-20's in minutes, which is about right for him, and not overextend Thad into the Embiid matchup (15 minutes, again about right). Heck, they are again going with 40 minutes for each of the 5 starters, they are just splitting the 40 between Khem and Precious since they have to deal with Embiid. Boucher and Thad good again off the bench, Thad was crazy good in the first half, pretty happy to see him sit in the 2nd half when Philly started hunting him on switches, but again an overall good contribution in the role you'd expect.

        2 down. 2 to go!

          No argument there, it worked well tonight. But Nurse doesn't sit still
          1. Take away Embiid's perimeter touches. Check.
          2. Harden one-on-one, don't let him pick you apart. Check
          3. Run the other guys off the line. Check
          4. Stop the "other guys" on their drives. Work in progress.
          5. Stop fucking leaving Niang open. Work in progress.

          Getting there.

          • Would have preferred 1 day rest with Philly on the ropes. Scotties ankle is important, but embiid looks spent right now. 2 days rest turned it around for us, gotta hope it doesn't give them time to breathe.

              Who is “they” ??? Or You mean Nurse failed as a coach? Or was their a player specific who you can point out to say that they forgot to use him in the 3rd

              enlighten us before starting game 6 thread.

                Considering Niang had two three point attempts all game, I'd say check to that one too.

                  They (the team) stopped using him as the primary screener and just sat him in the corner, so Embiid just ignored him and sat in the paint. Need to use Embiid's guy in all your actions to tire him out and not let him sit at the rim. With Khem the only way to do that is having him set screens on ball.

                  • Great great game from Pascal. Responded in the hostile environment. So many clutch buckets. Was aggressive, but didn't force anything.
                    Great game from Precious. This guy just keeps producing. Impact on O, impact on D. Scores in a brand new way every game.
                    Great game from GTJ. Numbers don't jump off the page, but his shotmaking is soooo important.
                    Nice contributions from basically everyone else.
                    Defence looked amazing.

                      Then you are all alone by yourself in that little island named Khem

                      whatever positive he has done in the first quarter was an aberration to the totality of his body of work

                      but carry on pursuing your undying agenda

                      • How crazy it is that with all the positives you can point out about the win….

                        you still have to insert how effective Khem was in the first quarter and how “they” failed to use him in the third

                        how ridiculous that is as a post game analysis

                            Well too bad because He bailed out on you when he found the little sailboat just to get away from a disaster infested Khem island

                              • Man what a game! Raptors were just dialed in defensively. Pascal was awesome. Precious had a game. Scottie is so helpful to Pascal when he's healthy and available. OG missed a lot of shots, but hit the ones that mattered. He also had some really bad turnovers, but overall was super solid.

                                Khem didn't lose his minutes which is ideal.. but he also helped with the 4 fouls. Second half wasn't too kind to him, but he was really good in the opening quarter.

                                Joel looked so gassed and we just kept blowing by him. Man we have them right where we want them.

                                Almost there!
