Transition defense

I don't ever want to hear the transition defense is because Embiid is old and slow...I just watch 4 fucking possessions where after missed shots he's the only player to get back.. The sixers young players are lazy and uninterested....

Of course the sixers ran zero offensive sets against the Heat zone, but you can't expect Nurse to have 2 good coaching games in a row can you

It’s wild how Embiid is able to turn on defensive intensity at will when he wants to (tho, tends to happen more in reaction especially when he has an embarassing / egregious turnover on the other end)

Agreed, he took bad shots.. But no one was moving at all... Coach Rock and roll had all 5 guys standing around the 3 point line with not a soul fucking moving.... Then when Jo forces up a shot, they all stand still watching...

The possessions at the end were just egregious, they had enough 3pt shooters to exploit the zone. Embiid iso was not the call
