Taking way too many 3's. They need to go in and score

Theis simply has to hit all the open shots Embiid is giving him

Yeah if Theis can loosen Embiid up, then JT and JB can attack the rim.

[jpotter33]

I mean, that's a blatant walk on Embiid on the three, but okay...

[Ogaju]

Theis has to make Embiid pay

[jpotter33]

Atta boy, Theis! We need you to hit those as much as Embiid is giving it to you.

[blink]

Theis has to make Embiid pay

yup and he just did

[SCeltic34]

These start times suck.  But from what I've been able to watch so far the C's are getting all great looks at the rim.  The 76ers on the other hand should presumably be in trouble when Embiid needs to rest.

[blink]

is it just me, or does Embiid already look gassed?
maybe it is wishful thinking from me, not sure.

I mean, they've almost all been WIIIIDDDEEEE open. Have to take those, especially if they're just going to pack the paint.

[tstorey_97]

Theis makes them pay.

76'ers are giving Theis 6 feet in every direction when he has the ball. I guess it's a Dr. Fauci thing.

Yeah, not too sure. He's certainly underdone from the few knocks he's taken in the bubble, but it also might just be his face, lol

No, he absolutely does to me, as well. You can tell it defensively; he's not even leaving the realm of the paint.

[keevsnick]

Well Embiid is clearly gonna be a problem this series. But we already knew that. On the other end we've seen indications that Phili is just gonna give Theis three point looks, its a shot they appear willing to live with. We'll see if he makes them pay.

[Greenality]

No Thybulle in the starting lineup.. Some mind games by BB))

Probably for the sake of their offense. If Thybulle isn't hitting his 3pt shots, he's a nonfactor on offense.

Yeah, but a good defensive play right away(
