These were the 2 things i was gonna bring up. If Embiid plays and Allen doesn't, could be loss 1 of the season for the Cavs.

I thought PG was on a minutes restriction but maybe that has been lifted.

That's good news, so no "Big 3" for the 76ers bc Maxey out too.

Can't underestimate them though, Nurse still gonna ride his guys hard.

The thing about a team missing its top three guys is that you don't really have a defensive game plan. They could pivot to anybody.

But a bigger worry is coming out flat.

These are the types of games that are hard for teams to get up for.

The Cavs have won 12 in a row and they're playing a team without their top 3 players. All these role players and young guys are going to be hungry for a win. Cavs need to come out strong and set the tone early or risk getting down big.

The Sixers without Maxey, George, and Embiid are a G-League team.

You guys got this.

Easily.

Damn good start to the season for you guys btw. Get that one seed and give the Celtics hell in the playoffs!

Lets talk about us winning after we've won the game.

I do hope you guys get healthy. I like the roster a lot, but going to actually need guys to play.

I feel like the league is going to let opposing teams junk up the game against us until we lose one. If neither Garland nor Mitchell can get going from outside, that could be tonight.

C'mon Kenny, we gotta find a way!

I don't think you love to see Mitchell with that volume of shots from the field without the efficiency.

Cavs extend the streak but these games are getting tougher and tougher.

One thing I really liked is that we appear to have set plays in place for when the other team doubles Mitchell or Garland just past half court. Of all the criticisms of JBB, the one thing that use to make me climb the walls was not having set counters in place with Allen and Mobley on the roster.

Actually, I was surprised how many NBA vets the 76'ers can just pull out of a hat because they all flocked to Philly assuming they'd win something with Embiid, George, and Maxey I guess?

And apparently Nurse didn't mind, he played 11 guys:

Vets: Oubre, Martin, Lowry, Gordon, and Jackson
Young guys/G-League: McCain, Yabusele, Bona, Dowtin, Martin, Council

Idk if I'd consider Yabusele young by NBA standards.

They also have Drummond but he just missed tonight too.

Right Yabu is 29, but dude already bombed out of the NBA once and had (has) to prove himself.
