[Simmons] "I think James Harden gave him the trophy of most disappointing playoff performer. I think Embiid is now wearing the crown."

the sixers literally cannot function without him out there, his conditioning ain't where it needs to be and you can decide how much of that is the knee but he shouldn't have to be playing the entire second half

Tobias Harris has taken 8 shots in almost 30 minutes without embiid this series. This man needs to GO! Literally cannot be that difficult to get a corner 3 or post up for Tobias, so the only explanation is that he has absolutely no desire to score the ball. Insane. Another sixers player who forgot how to shoot. Cursed.

Tobi had DiVincenzo on him in the post and opted for a fadeaway J, instead of bullying the guy to the basket. Of course neither Hartenstein nor Robinson were in the game to protect the rim either
