Game 61 - Sixers @ Heat 7:30pm ET

[Wilfried]

Welcome back Tobias Harris

[phillynative]

The ball moved thats why everyone looked more in rhythm. When Embiid and Harden play together the ball sticks way too much been saying this.

Paul Reed was huge, dbl dbl off the bench 2blks +26 and only 3 fouls. Harden was in his ear the whole game, so that should help. Harden showing leadership.

Dedmon probably won't play over Reed or Center Tucker. Another wasted roster spot

Why Reed hasn't locked up the 5 backup minutes and some more is beyond me.

Just play him with Harden when Biid sits. Also he can play next to Biid in some matchups.

[Bum Adebayo]

Crickets tonight. We certainly won’t hear from Ferry especially if we win double digits. Bum only follows Embiid.

Bum hates Embiid man he's trolling the fanbase here. I still don't understand why

Wrong, I am an Embiid fan what are you talking about? the moment Sixers trade Embiid, I will be a fan of his team!

[Bum Adebayo]

Maxey wasn't as good as you guys think, he was just +11 in a 23 point win, it's evident Harden, Harris and Melton carried us in this game.

He did suck in the previous 2.

Hopefully Doc is done with Trez at least. I imagine we'll see Dedmon get a chance. Clearly more upside/impact potential from Reed, but there's such high variance in his level of play.

[Negrodamus]

I missed the game but it seems like the Heat shooting 24% compared to 40% from 3 last game was the difference. I wonder if that was due to an adjustment in game plan or if they were regressing to the mean.

[mksp]

Anyone who’s been watching this team for the past decade knows that running the offense through Embiid is a fool’s errand, but we insist on it anyway.

Nice little win.

[Bum Adebayo]

It's the best alternative we have, Embiid has been the second best player in the NBA, only behind Tatum, what's the alternative?

I missed the game too but i think regression to the mean most likely, they're 28th in 3% for the season at 32% (which hilariously is the average of the two games).

They're a really poor offensive team with players that, most likely, played well above their heads last season in Vincent and Struss. Oladipo and Lowry are likely wash and Herro in the starting line up is a huge hole on their defense.

Still we played so poor the last game, i don't doubt some adjustment was in part responsible to take the Heat back to their averages.

Very curious thing that the Sixers could play such a solid, complete game tonight without Embiid, and at the same time be so consistently awful in the non-Embiid minutes when he's in the lineup.

A good coach would be able to take things out of this performance and maybe fix that problem. Wish we had one of those.

Excellent thoughts on the coach. Doc should be able to see the positives and use them when we have the team at full strength.

This team minus a star can win a regular season game or 2. Did we forget just this season the B-team beating a at strength Nets team? Paul Reed has he finally figured things out? I can only hope so. ON to Dallas let's see what happens next.
