The Celtics started out the game with Jrue Holiday guarding Embiid and I think the Sixers fed him down low one time with that matchup. They were still running pick and roll and had multiple turnovers in possessions that could have been much easier.
I know Boston switches a lot but you have to take advantage of a PG guarding your MVP center. Boston probably did this because so much of the Sixers offense has run through Embiid in the high post and up top but sometimes you have to feed the big guy down low. There is no need to run any other play in this situation unless Holiday is the GOAT defender and can stop Joel inside.
Seems like nitpicking but was anyone else upset at this?

Fair, but I do have 100% confidence that Nurse will be prepared for it next time if they try it again.
Does nobody remember Embiid dunking the fuck out of jrue guarding him in the post. Spun and sealed him out and then posterized zinger?
