When Joel said “I can’t do it alone” last year, I think this is exactly what he was talking about. Our previous teams with questionable leadership (ahem Doc) would just force feed him the ball and not create advantages off the attention teams showed him. Our other guys need to make teams pay for that to win playoff games

This says more about the players on the roster than Doc if you ask me. None of the players (outside of maxey) that showed up last night we’re on the team last year. What I do give Nurse credit for is putting more emphasis on embiid passing the ball. Maybe embiid always wanted to but didn’t have confidence in his team mates to knock it down.

​@@mellol1628one correction, Paul Reed did everything he needed to with the minutes he got. I know he doesn't play big minutes in the playoffs, but they are important, since they're the minutes without Embiid. He's still getting better just like Maxey and Embiid.

@@mellol1628Yes exactly and a big part of the issue was something I was pointing out since he got here was that Harden did not want to be a go to scorer anymore. Harden wanted to be the assists guy and come down the court, dribble into the lane, and kick out to a shooter or lob to a dunker. It was hilarious in the offseason when people were saying Harden wanted to go back to Houston to lead league in scoring again lol like have you watched the guy play the last couple years, he seems like he is intentionally trying not to score anymore than 20 ppg. But replace him with Lowry who despite taking less shots, the shots he does take is in the moments he needs to take them and he knows how to keep an offense oiled. Replaced Tobi who was afraid to shoot with Batum who is just made for those moments and we replaced PJ Tucker with Kelly Oubre, I’ll say less haha. This is the help we needed. With all that said Doc still did a terrible job of coaching because his gameplan was to put all the pressure on James and Embiid whereas Nick will go away from Embiid completely if it means winning.

Also all the great teams that won a chip had depth and guys committed. Unfortunately Joel had Harden who was a head case thanks to morey last year. If this team is consistent they could get to the conference maybe even the chip but gotta be consistent and focused.

As a football Xs and Os guy, I can't get enough of your in depth knowledge of the game within the game. Much respect 🏆

We can talk about Batum all day, but Lowry's simultaneous wrap around steal of Jacquez while fighting thru a screen may just be one of the biggest combinations of momentum shifting defensive and high degree of defensive difficulty that I have ever seen in Sixer playoff history. I am going back to the 80s and I don't even know if Bobby Jones did anything of that magnitude at such a pivotal time. Don't skip leg day, people!

That was the toughest defense the sixers are going to play

Harris does not care him and his father agent is already looking for another team to overpay him for underplaying..Just glad he will not be on the sixers next year..They can use his 40 million dollars for several good players or a true super star all star

Get Caleb Martin his own 3ft statue man.. Those 2 straight bricks at the free throw line changed the entire gravity of Wells Fargo Center last night. The crowd was hyped AF because of the free chicken! Playoff Chicken! It’s a real thing!

My favorite play was when batum knocked dude over half court.

Great Victory Indeed GO SIXERS ❤️💙🏀🙌🏾

5:15 whyd you do my boy Oubre like that 😂😂😂 you couldn't find a better pic? 😂

Best game I’ve been to all season.

Embiid has played better on the road this year. Being a 7th seed might be another blessing.

Fantastic game!!

Thanks Romp, great breakdown as always. I don't want to beat a dead horse but if we have Rivers instead of Nurse, we lose that game.

Nice video 🙏

ayeeee romp where were you at? i was at the game too

Embiid played pretty well given his health with his passing and shooting

I was honestly baffled by the Sixers 1st Half gameplan of trying to force the ball to a tripled teamed Embiid with shooters open. The only reason I didn’t have a complete meltdown a quite on the team in the 1st half was because I had full faith that this year with Kyle, Kelly, Nico and even Buddy, we had the dawgs who were going to go for broke and make plays happen when our superstar duo was having a ptsd episode.

That’s why I love this channel 😂😂 I hate these guys on radio and in the media

boy oh boy

Cheers on the 3rd best player Dead-Horse Beating…we all get it, already.

Covington was Good at one point of the season as well especially that 1 game they played the Celtics and RoCo got Tatum in his feels so much Tatum got ejected with a low points. He also was bothering Jaylen brown as well. What crazy is RoCo could possibly return in time of eastern conference which theoretically would be the Celtics.

What ya think romp? We should focus on signing some of these guys back, and spending less on more of a fringe star this off season, instead of giving someone the max and signing duds.

Celtics and Miami 1-1 , Tatum brown era.. Miami is our baby 😂

I don't think many of us Sixers fans knew Batum was this good when they signed him. But now, I do not think any of us were surprised by his performance last night. He is our Robert Horry.
