Game#34 Clippers @ 76ers 4:00pm

ESPN giving Clippers a 28.8% chance of winning today. That seems very under rated.

Who will guard Embiid ? Zubac has been memory foam soft lately and he might get torched by Embiid. Moses Brown could be a bigger body length wise to bother Embiid's shots. Does Batum get minutes by fronting and keeping Embiid from getting position ?

Philly is 13-5 at home while Clippers are 8-7 on the road.

Maxey and Harden will need to be kept under control as well.

Does Philly have any to keep Paul George and Kawhi under control ?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Zu’s gonna put his all into this one and keep Embiid from dominating. That in a win would be enough for player of the game IMO.

This should be a fun game and good test. Team needs to watch out for Embiid flopping into them causing an injury like Danny Green.

Not really Zu's fault--nobody can guard the top 5 bigs. Give Embiid his 40 and then he gets bored.

Who is the enforcer for the Clippers ? Some one needs to hurt Embiid's feelings. Take him out of the game mentally.

PG making PG mistakes. Morris and Zu standing there playing with themselves while 6ers getting a rebound and put back. Reggie and Zu not on the same page defensively. They need to change the starting lineup where Zu isnt in it.

The Zu defense and Harden earlier was quite nice.

Embiid of course is going to be a handful, you just have to hope he has a bag night basically.

Close to a shooting foul there, that would have been nice.

Zubac too scary. Looked like Embiid double dribbled after he was blocked

Zu is better off the bench with Mann, Kennard, and Powell. Kennard is great at starting the offense

Reggie, Morris, and Zu look terrible together. Not a good mix

Not sure why Kawhi went so early.

Some poor mistakes allowed this to get closer than it needed to be.

Little shaky at the end but overall a great half. Bench is killing it!
