This is what happens when you outplay the opponent 4 times through 4 games and only manage 2 wins. Hard to go a whole series without a wire to wire loss.

Tough to say. I think it might be a little of both, depending on the situation.
Agreed. I really think we need to shift to Smart or White as the primary Harden defender again. Philly is getting to run it’s offense without fear of involving our best perimeter defenders because neither guard the guys their offense runs through.
Brown and Tatum have been trash, blaming guys like Brogdon for this is foolish. The All NBA players need to show up and they haven't.
Tatum can’t be considered a superstar player with as many No-shows he’s had in playoff games. Two straight games where he directly puts the team in a hole because he can’t do anything on offense.

I wish I agreed. This is who they are, a team that refuses to play hard on a consistent basis.
Reed being in has helped on D, TimeLord isn't even coming out on those screens, no threat of the pop, just laying back
Fantastic idea. Where are my gummies? Oh, I have pre-rolls left over from Vegas!
Kobe had plenty of crappy shooting games, but he rarely stopped being aggressive. Tatum is no Kobe.
In his current state, a better defender, rebounder, and jumper than Brogdon.
key is going to be whether the pick up the D when Embiid is back, a Paul Reed pick and roll or pick and pop is not the same as an Embiid one.
Though, again, Timelord minutes without Embiid continue to be strong defensively.
Got 'em right where we want 'em. We're great at rallying from a massive deficit and then choking things away at the end of regulation.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Hauser for a little bit. They need someone to start hitting away from hoop to open up lane. They are doing good job of taking to hoop, but they are 3 defenders in there all the time.
