Only NAW showed up from the bench tonight. Conley has been so carless as well

Just either foul Embiid or let him shoot. These 3 pt plays are killing us. Put a quicker player like KA on him seems to work better

When Kyle is in Ant is doubled. Literally every time. Kyle is not playable right now.

Embiid is single-handedly ripping us apart right now. I knew it was going to be rough with the foul situation. They get this win tonight will be incredible for his MVP narrative. Going to have to find some way to counter, can't let him just do what he wants even if he gets a lot of calls, going to have to defend without fouling as best we can.

Yeah...when Ant is doubled and when SloMo is on court, these possessions have been wasteful

Maybe Shake against his former team. Troy has been uncharacteristically bad with the decisions tonight.

We took a pretty nice lead in the 3rd and gave it back. Got to man up this 4th quarter. Take care of business.

The MVPs are the refs, Embiid is getting bailed out so much, and allowed SOOOO much contact on defense.

I love Anderson on the defensive end. But his inability to shoot at all kills the offense.

This is gonna be a frustrating loss...wish Finch is more aggressive when main players are in foul trouble

Finch gave SloMo way too many minutes tonight...that might end up being the difference today

Philly hitting big shots man. Got to get stops, time is slipping.
