Jacque Vaughn on Nets’ rebounding:
“If there’s one possession where you don’t have a hand or a hip or something on somebody, you’re doing your teammate a disservice. That’s what it’s gonna take. That mentality, that mindshift… We’re getting outrebounded, we showed it to them.… https://t.co/szMcql0SrT pic.twitter.com/cnldt6h70t – 6:26 PM

Doc Rivers on officiating of James Harden and Joel Embiid:
“I don’t wanna sound like I’m campaigning, but I am. James and Joel do lead the league in missed calls as far as fouls. They get fouled the most, and that’s not a Sixers stat by the way.”
Asked where that stat is from:… https://t.co/ap5rstaxxm pic.twitter.com/XSY8nfXpzY – 6:21 PM

Doc Rivers said James Harden and Joel Embiid lead the league in missed calls on them. Adds “it’s not a Sixers’ stat, too.” Asked where he got it from, he didn’t give us a specific source. – 6:09 PM

Vaughn: “I think we’re the only team in the playoffs that doesn’t have an All-Star or former All-Star on the roster, of all the teams that’s playing the playoffs. This team is doing a hell of a job & trying to get a win tonight.” (BTW, Ben Simmons has 3 berths, but is out). #Nets – 5:56 PM

Jacque Vaughn said everyone who played in Game 2 has extensive playoff experience. Points to it as a reason why he’s stuck with Royce O’Neale despite his shooting woes in the series. – 5:56 PM

A fresh round of James Harden to Houston discussion/reporting/rumors has popped up.
To which I say this — yes, there is a ton riding on this playoff run for Philly. And that’s something the Sixers have known from the very first day of the season

Woj does not believe any team has more at stake this postseason than the Sixers.
“There may be change (even) if they go to the Finals. James Harden’s future is very unclear in Philadelphia. Houston is very much in play for him.” pic.twitter.com/2dOsZLDzmT – 2:21 PM

Brooklyn has gone to more five-out against the Sixers, which should give them a preview for Boston (should they advance). Embiid makes a great rotation below, but he gives up a goaltend because Harden gets beat.
