In terms of awareness, Embiid has no awareness... whatsoever.
It's not the coach. They were beaten by at team who fired their coach for sexual misconduct. Other than some strategic time outs and some inbounds play calling, most coaches are spectators once the tipoff happens. There are rare exceptions where some coaches think they are in the NFL and need to play call on every trip.
It really feels like the teams just play at their own pace, like it's a pickup game. I recall in the past that some teams had a plan and would run sets and the ball handlers weren't always the first options on offense. Then again, teams have fallen in love with the three. It's a make or miss league. Philly missed.

How did they go up 3-2?
Admittedly I watched very little of Game 7.
As to Ime up 3-2 to the Golden gots, complete choke job attributable 100% for him allowing Tatum to go from ball distribution to Kobme.
Ime was never up 3-2 to the Warriors. He went up 2-1 to the Warriors and then the Celtics lost 3 straight afterwards.
I stand corrected.
And Boston scored 120 and 116 in their 2 wins with team ball.
Shat all over with less then 100 all four other games featuring Kobme Tatum.
2 wins / Tatum assists
13 assists
9 assists
4 losses he averaged like 3 assists per.

I swear I would hate to see him in a Spurs jersey
Well, obviously
Harden, like Joel, has insane skills; it's really frustrating neither of them can get his together
Thankful we've had both. Well, that's my take. I am fortunate to have been alive near the mid/late Magic, Kareem, Worthy teams onward to the Shaq/Kobe, Kobe/Pau and LBJ/AD moments in Laker history. Kobe, for all of his faults, is heralded more in lore. However, if LeBron somehow manages to win 8 more games and caps off a 5th ring, that would be an amazing chapter to the lore. However, what Kobe meant to me as a teen and adult Laker fan, it'll take that 5th le to put on par. I don't think he'll surpass him in terms of importance to the Laker history as an individual, that's more a debate to his impact on the NBA as a whole.
I think if Embiid had entered the league in the mid 90s and went to a team that did even only a good job surrounding him with a good supporting cast, he'd likely have been battling with Shaq and Duncan for les thru the first decade of the 2000s. His game was made for the league back then. Right now, MVP and all, he may be best served as a second option. To an extent, he even hinders the Sixers offense because they're forced to play quite a bit of slower paced, halfcourt offense. And it's not free flowing or fluid. It's just him holding onto the ball in the high post or midpost and just stopping the game.
Yes. Yes I'm a hypocrite** for cheering for "LeHype"
Bron has always been better than Kobe - as painful as that is for me to admit. Bron came in the league ready. Once he got even a smidget of support he did damage in the playoffs. I mean, 11 out of 20 years he was in the Finals (and was only favored in what, like 2 or 3 of them)? Some of those Cavs teams never should have even sniffed the Finals (especially in 2007) but they made it there because of him.
What (privately) sealed it for me was 2005 playoffs vs Pistons. 2004 Pistons treated Kobe like a bas in the Finals. Bron scored like 30 straight points vs Tayshawn Prince in a closeout game. I still can't believe he did that. SMH
Kobe will always special to me, but yeah, Bron was better. just made 3rd team all NBA in his 20th year (should have been at least 2nd IMO). Who has ever done that? is unreal.
If he can win 8 more games this year, the Lakers pass Boston for the most in NBA history. You best believe Laker Nation gonna help him make his GOAT case and drown out the Jordan stans.
**In my defense, I even cheered for Rodman when he donned the purple and gold armor.
He was battling with al horford, and couldn't score. He would be eaten alive by shaq and duncan. He is soft baby , who always blames others. That mvp he cried for, for last three years was his championship. I can't imagine jokic or any other real mvp puting blame on everyone. But that what fake mvp's do.
Fairness to Embiid, could it be that with his language background and interviewer asking him about Hardens signing or not.....
Embiid was meaning "Hey, even if James signs everyone still needs to get better."
Horrible optics i agree. But I'm not sure this is to be taken as Embiid blaming the support and not his and Hardens overpaid asses.
Ah yes, the weakest, most diluted era of the history of the NBA
Im worried about a kings/Lakers like series with refs
And then missed the playoffs twice in a row in the weakest conference in NBA history.
Shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
Jordan stans don't want to hear that
Nevermind not making the playoffs at all in his wizard years. MVPipoen.Ah yes, the weakest, most diluted era of the history of the NBA

Silver : “Lakers Celtics and you buddy”
Welp, he did give the Spurs Wemby at least.
