You're not going to stop Dirtbiid-he's one of the greatest actresses in the league and he gets calls for anything-not to mention, the league will turn the cheek on his dirty plays, you have to figure out how to mitigate the damage Maxey is doing, they should seriously think about starting Deuce instead of Donte and use OG helping off of Harris. If we're going to lose a series because a bum like Harris is making shots so be it, we can't have two raging fires in Maxey and Dirtbiid.

One thing OG was great at was defender big men. He's super strong and he has a strong base. He was actually starting at center for us in 2020 when we played the Celtics.

I'd give him a go vs Embiid.

Letsssssssss getttttttt Thissssssss W Folkssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a terrible idea, we can't afford to lose OG to foul trouble, you put him on Embiid and he picks up some quick fouls and our defense collapses.

And Donte has been kept away from guarding Maxey for a reason, he cannot do it even at a respectable level.
