Game 72: 76ers @ Cavs 3/15/2023

With no Allen against Embiid, I have low expectations for this game. Though I do love seeing Mobley play a little uncomfortable to see how he holds up.

She definitely knows very little about the Cavs or gives very little stock to their place in the standings because the two games she commentated, against Boston and now 6ers, have felt like home games for the other team.

I like playing Diakite over RLo

I mean 4 on 5 might be better than playing Lopez .

Our defense is generating some great offense. If we boiled down just our half-court possessions, its not looking as good. I do think if we can pull a Garland Mitchell LeVert Okoro Mobley line-up while Embiid is out there then our offense could pull its weight. I just don't want to rely on the 6ers turning it over for our offense.

Can't ask for more from our bench honestly. Great 1st half. Still going to be hard to bring this one home especially with the eventual foul trouble

I'm nervous that Okoro, Cedi, Stevens and Levert are using up all their made threes for March in this game.

Its odd we are shooting above our weight but its our worse shooters making them and are good shooters missing

I just seen the highlight of Embiid splitting Evan and Cedi to score on Okoro, can't play much better defense than that.

Too many missed chances bad mistakes in the 4th. we just do stuff that's uncharacteristic against good teams.

Embiid possibly just fouled out holy

Good, hard fought game by the Cavs. Embiid is unstoppable but man that was an offensive foul.

No gripes about the game besides the offense stagnating in the 4th. Need better ball movement. Especially in the playoffs

I mean I cannot be mad at the Cavs. Great effort to be in this one the entire game. Offense fell flat in the 2nd half, but we were running on fumes at that point.

I actually really like the Embiid gameplan imposed by JB. I know he still had a stellar game, but we found ways to mitigate his teammates and make his life hard

I like Diakete. He wasn't rattled by the moment. Good size. If he can shoot it just a bit he will be alright.

No idea why Cedi got so much run. It's like you can tell early when he doesn't have it and he rarely figures it out to me you sit him as soon as he looks rattled and you go with Stevens or okoro

I think they wanted the shooting (or threat of shooting out there) with Cedi

I understand what they wanted but when Cedi is off he is usually the worse player on the floor. There is almost no chance of him making clutch shots when the pressure is on and he is already off

If Garland and Mitchell go 2 for 14 from 3, we're losing the game. LeVert had his monthly good game and it didn't matter.
