Where was last night's loss on the "angry" radar? 9 out of 10 for me. Why?
1. A loss to PHI.
2. A loss @home.
3. PHI without their best player.
4. PHI ran the same play, high pick & roll with Harden switching on Horford.
5. Up 1, with the ball, less than 1:00 to play, and lose by 4.
Anyway, the difference was TOs, which led to second shot opportunities, however BOS still could have won!

Do you get the sense that these guys have learned nothing? In spite of what they say?
Almost every time we start off a game with the offense humming, as it was in Game 1, where we shot 17-20 from the field in the first half, and scored more points on layups and dunks than we had in any half this season, we wind up having a letdown. I can almost hear the guys thinking "we don't have to play D; we'll just outscore them". I had a really bad feeling about the outcome when we shot such a high percentage in the first half and still were up only 4 points.
If Embiid doesn't play and we don't come out angry and win easily, I won't have much hope left for the season.
