I think Tatum and White should come off the bench and we should go with Brown, Queta, Scheierman, Pritchard, Hauser.... 4 shooters and Queta... I also would've liked to see Williams on Embiid at the end of the last game just to see if that would slow Embiid down or at least throw a curve ball with long arms and good mobility. Joe is just too predictable so far... Everyone knows where the ball is going...

I love Tatum. But careful, that might hurt his ego if you have him come off the bench. U sure u want Brown to lead the starting unit and not Tatum when JT is also available?

I will say this, Joe, use everything you have, Please!! The guys that helped get us here are sitting on the bench!!!  Plus, with Embiid playing like he is, We Need to trow every center we have at him!!!! I want Embiid to fight for Everything!! That means William and Every other big we have. Fouls are like bullets in a gun, use them all!!!!

Brown lead this team all year. Bird came back from injury and came off the bench for 27 games because he had a team-first mentality. That's why he has so many bench records. We played as a team all year everyone has to make sacrifices to win!

Is that the rope-a-dope strategy?  Let Philly get off to a big lead and then we'll have them right where we want them?

Roy, you know I love you!! But, we have to be more physical. When JB says we have to play harder, the interviewer asked him, what does that mean, he said I don't know! I will tell you, leave some blood on the floor!! let the 76s feel your presence, that is how I think we can win game 7. Who am I to say? Nobody!!!! I am nobody, but that is what I think>

How does playing Scheirman and Pritchard over Tatum and White lead to more physicality, though?

Why isn?t JB coming off the bench? He?s been worse than Tatum with all the turnovers, missed free throws and hero ball.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

All in all though, I think JT should just rest. That calf strain might impact his other leg where he has to be more explosive on the left leg. And his just came off of an Achilles injury.

We need him 100% next season

I like it.

It won't happen. But I like it.I like the energy & teamwork a starting 5 of Pritchard, Scheierman, Jaylen, Hauser and Queta would bring.

It would also make it easier for D White to see himself benched if Tatum was coming off the bench as well. D White won't get as down on himself. I am worried about D White. He is already so fragile from his bad shooting and lack of confidence.

I would go with JB over JT because the team had a great rhythm / chemistry all season. The team is more comfortable with it.

No knock on JT. It is just the way the team has played most of the season.

Celtics went 16-3 once Tatum came back.

This is Game 7. I don?t think Joe will tinker with his best five to start the game.
