That really is the bottom line. Apparently you can't spot a team with Embiid and Harden and Maxey and Tobias Harris a 16 point lead on their home court. Who knew?
They also put an awful lot into the hands of the refs all over the place. The refs are not your friend.

I thought BOS played well 1Q, and had multiple opportunities to win. Wasn't a bad loss, however a missed opportunity.

I just don't know if our team, collectively, is smart enough to win a title. That includes players and coaches.
Up 2 with 20 seconds left and the shot clock indicating that we'll get the last shot, there are only two things to keep in mind. Don't allow 3s and don't foul. That way the worst situation you can face is a tie game and the opportunity to win it with the last shot.
Joe should have reminded everyone of that, and maybe he did. And JB should never have left Harden, who was in the midst of a 40 point game, alone in the corner. That was a blunder.

One aspect I noticed is that PHI takes high percentage shots, and BOS takes low percentage shots. Also, with BOS they (almost) always win if they shoot 40% or more from 3, and 50-50 if below.
