Harden and Embiid struggle in Philly

the Celtics They dominated this classic Eastern Conference series playing the Sixers. At least feelings have improved and the track operator is back on their side after the victory in Philadelphia they scored on Friday night. The Greens lead after game three.

Who would say that after what was seen and the 76ers’ MVP celebration night at home, everything was going well. First play, Harden for the wickets and the basket. But everything was far from pleasant for them. After 45 points on day one, “Beard” piles up terrifyingly 5/28 in the next two shots, the worst mark of his career in that short period of time, and problems are emerging again in the Los Angeles-born star. Angels. In the end, Embiid sent him a message via cameras: “Be aggressive. I have to talk to him and tell him we have to keep pulling.”. almost A defect for James, after his muscle injuries, is that aggressiveness, excess which in his best years saw him beat his insulting opponents with ease in a one-on-one. For this reason, her development into a support role, management role is seen as positive.where he can hide further, of course, until they ask him to be the one towing the car again.

the SixExpress They have to rethink the series again after this defeat. Another one at home will leave the end result waiting for confirmation or a true miracle. Fitting the still-limping Embiid with Harden when other second-runners like Harris or Maxey don’t sit well for Rivers is a task hanging against the clock.

Despite the fact that the Celtics finished with a better-than-two shooting percentage, with Embiid (30+13) in front his dominance on the paint declined. And they did not have it in other aspects. It wasn’t about being in control, and I’m not going to get out of it. That of Mazzulla simply (as if it were easy) pressed the pain points the Sixers have to fix 102-114 at the end of 48 minutes of regulation. The first benefits came to the visitors by punishing the losses of the local population. There was a reaction and even Philly, after a back-slashing shot from Joel, took the lead after ten minutes of play. The baton was in the hands of the Celtics, who sprinted again in the final five minutes of the second half. With another successful combination, including a gem in the form of a 2 + 1 (23) from Jaylen Brown, the distance was seven in the first half. Another mirage entering the third term: just two after running with two triples from PJ Tucker and having been -12 just before that, at the same time, he loses his footing again due to Brown, who succeeds as he enters the area. Meanwhile, Jason Tatum, 27, was adding any official. Opening the final quarter, with an 11-point lead in Boston’s favour, two unlikely players exploded: Niang, with seven of his ten points in one run, and Milton, who hit two connected throws in two minutes. separate. Five around the clock. Five on the score. The Celtics came out all year. A triple from Horford, two baskets from Tatum and free throws closed out the evening. To be fair to James Harden, it was all wrong all night but not noticed in the moments when he started coming back, with Embiid or Maxi taking over and being the one at fault. Be that as it may, appreciate some of the Celts who are beginning to resemble last year, given their run of the season and their handling of difficult situations, and it is time for the way the Sixers attack this fierce opponent to be more. strongly modified.
