If im a celts fan id be screaming to the high heavens for Mazzulla to get out of this zombie drop coverage that's allowing Embiid to step in to wide open threes for the last 2 hours. But this isnt even drop coverage, it is legit Prevent.

How so? Their stars have played much better and our depth doesn’t count for shit in the playoffs.
KOC default blames the coach…but he does touch on something here.
Mazzulla’s in game adjustments are non existent. You can kind of tell that’s never been on his plate before.
They’ve had these types of performances under 3 different head coaches. At some point it’s on the players. If they lose this series, major changes should be considered.
Small sample size but Stoudamire looked really good when he filled in for Mazzulla, and should have gotten the job. But Stoudamire was an Ime guy and Mazzula is a Brad Stevens guy.
Would love to know what he has done to inspire confidence. He is hasn’t brought much in the way of anything .
Now they're doing the slowdown, gave up two shots, and Doc said, "enough of that."
I think Doc is pretty bad, but he's for sure outcoaching Coach Joe.

a problem... maybe a little, but he's not even close to the top of the list. He's not why Tatum is struggling on offense, or why Horford is missing wide open 3s.
I'm not sure Doc is a great coach, but it's refreshing to see someone read the game (anyone with a pulse can...well almost anyone) and stop a run.
Maxey is playing like prime MJ. Joel is shooting like Bird.
And I'm pretty sure I could have hit more shots than some of the Cs and I suck at basketball

Don't you think the Sixers could learn from blowing this lead despite having a mechanism at your disposal to stop, catch a breath, and refocus your team?
I mean, we had maybe the best stretch of the last 4 years under Mazzulla too. That's just how small samples are. And while I don't think Joe has been that good in the playoffs, our problems are and have been more player focused than anything else over 3 coaches and 4 years.
Nothing. But neither have these players, where championship aspirations are concerned. They consistently blow 2 games every playoff round late in close games. Pick your coach.
Honestly…this is why I think Mazzulla’s not a good coach. He’s getting put in the spin cycle by fucking Doc Rivers. Literally no one has ever said Doc was a good in game coach. Again, no one has ever said this. He’s fucking smoking Mazzulla. That’s incredibly disconcerting
Play 2 good minutes here and we are back in this. Play 4 good minutes and we can even in up. Play 7 good minutes and we win.
The Sixers are playing mostly terrible defense. If we'd had hot shooting instead of terrible we'd have been up at the half and maybe rolling with a lead right now....
both teams playing bad D, just one team hitting at a regular rate and one at a terrible rate.
I don’t know if he’s good or not. Doesn’t seem good. I do know this core doesn’t have the maturity to win a title.
Embiid's rim protection in this game has been the biggest difference. C's really struggling at the rim.
Can we please just leave Tucker open on every possession. He is 0-2. Make him shoot and double off him every time.
