Best case scenario, we win this convincingly that we’re able to keep Embiid fresh for the next game.

If im Thibs, im not making any adjustments until next game.

Nurse should stick to the "don't let Brunson get going" gameplan. There is no way that Hart can keep shooting the way he is ---- hopefully

I always thought of Hart as underrated, so I don't consider what he is doing to be entirely unexpected.

That being said; it the Sixers continue to limit Brunson, and then actually play decent offense for once, they should be fine. At least for Game 3.

Right. If Philly is better offensively.... They're doing more than enough defensively

I've loved Hart as a player ever since he was at Villanova, but this shooting is an aberration and will likely regress to the mean in the next couple of games here. I agree that Nick should continue to focus on shutting Brunson down, as the role players are far less likely to hurt us the same way at WFC.

Embiid and Maxey are doing good enough on offense, so it's the role players that need to step up, who do you trust to be that guy?

I feel a little iffy about Brunsons shooting falling off. He's mostly hitting wide open 3s from the area where he shoots a good percentage. I think if he hits a couple the closet player to him has to rotate and contest.

Also another reason why he's rebounding so well is him crashing while no one defends him. Nurse has to figure out minimize his crashes to the paint. Because not only does it causes chaos where we make terrible decisions as a team it also energizes his team to match his hustle.

The refs owe us one tonight. So I think we'll get a decent whistle. But we still have to put the effort in on the defensive glass and make our shots. If we do those things we should win.

With that being said I fully expect a 34% shooting night as a team.

Glad to have back De'Anthony. Famously has never shat down his leg in a playoff series!

He needs to do a better job of appearing strong and resilient instead of appearing hobbled.
