season finale! cade is questionable but...
sixers are sitting embiid, harden and niang so we might even beat them if cade doesn't play.
looks like all the g league guys are recalled so we might see them for good minutes.

I don't usually advocate hardcore tanking. I'm down with resting vets, but if the young guys plays well and win you just sorta live with that. I want them to play hard, continue to develop and build some positive momentum.
But last game of the season? On the road with lottery implications? Ima be kinda pissed if we win this one. Play your worst players 40 minutes. If somebody is hot, bench them. Take intentional 24 sec shotclock violations. Throw the ball away. Do what you gotta do for this 1 game. Just get it done.

Sole possession of 3rd worst record at stake, would be a shame to win this imo.

Wierd that the Sixers are sitting Embiid, e.t.c. they are tied for 3/4 seed with the Celtics. They are both 51-30. I'm not sure of the tiebreaker with the Bucks, but one has to assume they don't want to play the Raptors.
Wierd.

It is really weird the Sixers are tanking this game. The last team Id want to play is Toronto. I think they lose to them

We need to go with; Bey ( but only for like 10 minutes), livers, Garza, Edwards, Lee. If possible Casey or Casey’s kid. There’s no shame in going full-thunder for this one.

Nah, Toronto has no good big bigs. Embiid will feast in that series.

If we win this game I will lose my ****. We have one job, and one job only, get a loss. I don't care if it's unwatchable like last game, just lose this one no matter what.

yeah i don't mind winning even in a tanking season but at this point we've so far and if we win this game it has direct (even if slight) implications in the lottery placing.
bey and stewart are playing but hopefully they play limited minutes. hopefully olynyk and mcgruder don't play at all.
essentially just run with hayes, lee, pickett, key, livers, garza and edwards as much as we can. maybe play jackson and bench him if he makes a couple 3s.

Good, Hayes and Stewart starting. We can't win this, even without Embiid.

Is Beef Stew still a waste of a draft pick? I forgot what poster said that.

Saben’s shot is broke. I never understood how players make it this far with such a noticeable hitch

Just play Garza 30+ minutes, this might be his last game for us. Same for Saben.

Is Stewart done for the night? Garza, Pickett & Olynyk are all active. Stew is 4/4 and already helped his 3pt%.
