The Boston Celtics are an outlying James Harden playoff performance from leading the Philadelphia 76ers 3-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Two games removed from his 45 points stealing Game 1, the one-time MVP could not last a half in his home arena before the City of Brotherly Love showered him with boos.
and played his way closer to dominant form, only for his teammates to abandon him.
This after Philadelphia's second-, third- and fourth-best players shot a combined 15 of 40 in Wednesday's blowout Game 2 loss. The Sixers trailed for the final 43:09 of that one. They have led in only four minutes over the last two games and 15 of the 144 minutes in this series. This problem needs solving.
It has not helped the Sixers that Jaylen Brown has manhandled Harden since assuming the defensive assignment in Game 2, so much so that Harden repeatedly passed on opportunities to attack the basket on Friday. His discomfort was so apparent that the crowd booed each passive decision from the second quarter on.
The 7-footer has a history of fading by the fourth quarter in the playoffs, and he was gassed by the end of the third on Friday. The Sixers are now -31 in Embiid's 66 minutes and -11 in their 78 minutes without him.
