The man is 36 nearly 37, its a marvel that he is even able to do so much defensively still

Marc Gasol was toast at this point in his career btw, had to play overseas


Al is obviously much more agile than Gasol. Gasol lost all his lateral quickness.
His defense on Embiid has been amazing. Makes him work hard for every bucket.
But 14% from 3 not including game 3 (5-7) I mean, shoot 25% at least....

game 5??

16pts is considered "coming up huge", dude committed a dumbass foul and was out the whole 3rd quarter, the team did the most damage with him on the bench....

lmao

Game 4 he did the exact same shit, team ran into some adversity almost choked away the lead, he didn't take a single fucking shot out of half time. absolute mental midget.


I honestly can't tell if you're trolling, a closet Celtics fan, or both.

Yes, game 5 Tobias was huge. 7-for-10 from the field, 16 points, 11 rebounds, +12 on the night and took advantage of some great mismatch opportunities. How is this even a discussion? Anyone that watched the game gave him a ton of praise for his performance. That's exactly what you ask of him.

You act like this guy is expected to drop 20+ a night for them. That's what Embiid, Harden, and Maxey are out there to do. Tobias is the 4th option on this team and is lucky to get double digit shot attempts. Stop letting his contract cloud your judgement on what he should be doing, we know he's not a max contract player. His performance tonight shooting the ball was trash, but he hasn't been bad every game.

More blame should be put on Harden for not showing up. He's either all in and goes ham, or he is absolute dog shit.

How do you take Niang out when he is hot?

That might be the dumbest coaching decision of them all in game 6

He was also clamping up Tatum defensively



Clamping LOL he had one good defensive posession on him (which was a foul) relax

Joel Embiid said after tonight's game "Who doesn't love Game 7?"

Um, the answer is your coach, Doc Rivers. :wallbash:

He's averaging 11pts per game for the series, even for a 4th option, that's kinda fucking pathetic, $40million aside.

He had 1 decent game where the whole team was clicking on cylinders and that's somehow supposed to let him escape criticism?

And I already pointed this out, he's a front runner, when the team is up or the opponents is ass like in the 1st round, he shows up.

When the game gets close or situation gets rough, he puts on his Ben Simmons acts.

Game 4 and Game 6, not a single fucking shot taken in the 2nd half, how is that even possible, 4th option???


Harden made a lot of good passes to PJ Tucker and Melton who were wide open 3's and they just bricked all of them. Doc Rivers then went full retard and stopped running Harden pick and rolls and went with Maxey-Embiid 2-man game for no fucking reason when Maxey is a terrible passer and Embiid is a terrible roller.

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve blame, i'm just saying it's weird how you come in and point at him lol. I know you absolutely despise him, but there's a lot of blame to be shared as well. I'm over the contract talk about Tobias, we gotta live with that and deal with the player that he is.

PJ Tucker and Melton missed 3-4 wide open threes late in the 4th. Absolutely wide open, and completely bricked em.

Embiid took just 2 shots in the final 5 minutes of the game. Also not sure how that happens when he had more opportunities.

Harden lost his powers to the monstars and was literally falling over himself turning the ball over.

And then Tatum decides to all of a sudden start making difficult threes out of nowhere to close the game out.


It is what it is. They're in a game 7 vs Boston, which a lot of people here said they'd never get to. Most people here said they'd lose in 5-6 lmfao....
