Games 1 and 2 Sixers dominated. Game 3 they got bailed out by Embiid being clutch and the Raps missing free throws but you had to figure that would be the Raps best punch
Game 4 they got too comfortable, foot off the gas
Game 5 was terrible. Inexcusable. And they deserved all the criticism and concerns.
Game 6 they handled business.
I think aside from a terrible Game 5, Doc and the Sixers has a great series. As another poster said it’s also good they went through some adversity. The last three times they got bounced in the second round happened after relatively easy first round wins.
i think the game 4 and 5 losses were more about joel's injury than anything. he was definitely down about it and feeling sorry for himself. it brought down the energy for the whole team.
