now lets get on our mackin!!


*sippin*

[blink]

that should have been an +1 for Tatum.  How is that not called??

that was an incredible shot either way.

[Atzar]

Our effort in the first eight minutes was putrid on both ends.  Settling for tough jumpers, no resistance on defense.

Last four minutes looked better.  Lucky heave by Tatum helped.  Need to continue that aggressive play.

I'm ECSTATIC we're only down 6. Despite all that. PHI can't be feeling too good

[tstorey_97]

Embiid has hit a bunch of bunnies which is ok...he's not getting to the line and collecting fouls on our guys.

[jpotter33]

Okay, we just took the Sixers' best shot with them shooting 64%, outrebounding us by 5, and Embiid putting up 15 all in the first quarter, yet we're only down by 6. That's a win for us.

Embiid seems like he doesn't want to engage Kanter in the post, or at least in the low-post. Might be feeling wear and tear from the strength of Kanter, even if his feet are slower than someone wearing concrete shoes

[blink]

Let's see how gassed Embiid gets in the 2nd quarter....
my guess is he is already tired.

[Greenality]

Tatum 
-6, with how efficient they are, looks promising)
Also Grant can be a huge factor for this team, solid minutes from him.

[keevsnick]

I mean if we have to live or die with Embiid hitting a bunch of jump shots I'm okay with that. Jaylen and Tatum combined for 20 which was nice.

[Neurotic Guy]

Please - a quick synopsis of quarter 1.  I missed it.

[Phantom255x]

Imagine if Kemba actually played like a star too. So far not much

[jpotter33]

Kanter for.... THREE?! 

[gouki88]

KANTER!

[Phantom255x]

KANTER!
