Nic Claxton is the best perimeter-defending big in the league.
Absolutely shut down Harden and Maxey on his switches today. – 3:18 PM

If you would’ve told me that James Harden and Tyrese Maxey would shoot a combined 10/38 (26.3%) in this game and the Nets would lose, I wouldn’t have believed it.

James Harden can’t drive anymore and I have a really tough time seeing this Philly team beating Boston because of it.
He’s 2/9 on 2’s today. Now 9/30 (30%) for the series.
Celtics will have Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum guarding him. Incredible group. – 2:24 PM

What I’m looking at today in terms of rotations:
How much do Seth Curry, Cam Thomas, Joe Harris play? If at all.
Nets can play straight-up defense with no Embiid. PHI’s only advantage is putting those 3 in P&R to force a switch onto Harden/Maxey.
Might be a Yuta/Sumner game. – 11:30 AM
