Doc Rivers expects the Sixers to do a much better job handling the Celtics' pressure on Friday night in Game 3 at Wells Fargo Center. NBCSPhilly has the story.
“I just thought, when you watched the game, they did everything that they wanted to do offensively,” he said. “We didn’t supply a lot of pressure at all; we weren’t into the ball. They moved the ball. I said, ‘Guys it looked like a couple of possessions, they were in shootaround.’ And they were just playing with nobody in front of them, no resistance. So we’ll do that better.
“But then they didn’t allow us to do that. So if you’re going to have one team in your air space, not allowing you to move, deflecting and grabbing and holding, and then you on the other end allow them to move, it’s going to be a mismatch. And that’s what it was last night."“Fifty-fifty basketballs, it feels like they got every single one,” James Harden said Wednesday night, “which led to shots for them, the majority of them threes.”“We squandered the loose balls on the floor a lot.
