Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2714691, member: 1026"] That and Embid was clearly out of gas in 4th quarters all series. I haven't looked at numbers but could almost guarantee that his minutes were significantly up over regular season. And of course playoff minutes are harder minutes. Embid was KILLING the Celtics last night, but I liked the C's chances in the 4th Q because I'd seen Embid run out of gas four games straight. Yes Simmons gagged, but part of not being able to shoot is... being afraid to shoot, rushing shots, avoiding FT. I'm defining not being able to shoot. Very obvious what those two guys need to work on and given how blatantly it was exposed & their lofty goals if I'm Philly fan I quickly spin the bright side that they'll be motivated to get in the gym this summer. As a Celtics fan I love winning this series convincingly without Irving & Heyward, but I fear the future Sixers and kind of like you need a guy to stop LeBron - they'll definitely need someone bigger & quick to stop Embid 2.0. Also as a Celtics fan: Markelle Fultz hahahahahahahahahahaha [/QUOTE]
