Well we lost to them without Embiid, bad matchup, have to play a perfect game to be on a level and today Cole has as many TOs as points

Yeah, this one is a warp. The 4th quarter is just a formality. We can't close the gap against them.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

You can't play Isaac/Mo/Goga/WCJ.

Mo is the worst on defense out of those, but should be used sparingly when Isaac is banged up or when Goga is a bad matchup.

Too many minutes and too few players. We’ve got like 3 lineups contending for play time, hence the “by committee” mantra I think. Players miss games in stretches so other players can get a stretch of games and consistent minutes to show what they’ve got.

Franz is our best player currently, so yes. Until he's back, at least.
