Man, Baynes is so important. We need him healthy for the playoffs otherwise our big man depth is not good.

Also, why is Hayward constantly guarding McConnell?

I don’t care if Philly comes back to win by 20. C’s are truly a matchup problem for them.

Dislike JB taking it at Embiid though

I had no problem with it. He was trying to exploit a mismatch.

I really hope Lopez becomes available. We could use him to do the dirty work down low

When we're healthy (w/Kyrie and Baynes back) then we can still make it a series with PHI if we meet in the playoffs. No guarantee we win it but we'll give them a fight for sure.

Embiid is not slow.

It's not a mismatch.

I probably didn't phrase myself well enough. I didn't mind the attack itself, but I didn't like that he seemed somewhat hesitant about the move he was going to make. When he has a guard on him he goes into that turnaround much faster

Considering we're missing Kyrie and Baynes, I'll take this lead at the end of 1.  need to expand on it in the second quarter.

rather him take it at the shot  blocker than try to avoid him and embiid ends up with the help def block.

If everyone's healthy, we can beat Philly. I still think we have a mental advantage over them. We're in their heads.

Honestly this is a great start, much better than I expected.
