I think Al Hofer was looking for help when it
got down to two or three seconds. Smart across
the Powell. What a play by. Smart about
Marcus. He has absolutely lived on the Greg.
A lot of, you know, a little bit
passive down the stretch to put it lightly in game
one, put, contesting that shot. On the
other hand, I'm about Michael Porter Junior, excuse
me, coming in from the weak side. This
is the number two rated offense in the NBA of
Boston fourth in scoring. They didn't get him incorporated
into initiating offense really as much in part because of
the turnovers and the inability to control that defensive backboard
. It's just masterful keeping on it. But I
love the fact. Listen, if you're the two
time M V P and they're not going to bring
help and you've got a one on one matchup,
you have got to be able to win that and
that's a beautiful job with the foot three times up
. Smart will defend Harden hands, the ball shot
clock at seven, read the screen took away and
good. He's on fire to start. Harden had
started 5 to 5 but nice start for the Sixers
19 to 3 advantage and Phoenix's lead a half dozen
K D going glass misses rebound, Jokic Denver trying
to push the leak out there with a beautiful kick
ahead and not a smart play there by Lee on
the foul porter Jr who has had his struggle.
Maybe that gets him going here in this third quarter
and Greg, that is a rare fast break opportunity
just alluded. He didn't shoot it very well.
A little bit under his usual pace taking precision pass
from Booker. I've got to be better with my
defense against Murray as Denver turns it over. That
was a terrific pass from Booker there. Tatum's got
36 another 300. He hit the deck as he
fired, rebound him. What a pass from Tatham
and Tetum is done, bastard. Oh, the
Harden works surrounded for the defense of Horford of two
seconds and shot Harden sizing up Harford. It's a
three oh, Harden's got 45. Well, they
got the switch. They wanted Al Horford guarding James
Harden Luxury and keep in mind knowing that it's setting
up for the possibility that maybe he goes with his
starters. Holy smokes. This is where over extended
Durant goes for. The steal doesn't come up with
it and Jeff Green ends up hurting their feelings.
What's that one? My goodness.
