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.
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.
