Gm 47: Nets (29-17) @ 76ers (30-16) Wed 1/25 7:30 PM

Have we ran a PnR once this game?

They’re just switching it and putting a smaller guy / Simmons on Embiid and we’ve dumped it down to him after. He just needs to finish a few more of them.

Hey, Ben has done a great job defensively on Jo. I'll give him props for that. Jo just needs to simplify going at him. Use the jab step, take the mid range. Stop trying to Yam it on him every time. Brooklyn is one tough team. Kid Claxton looks like a baller.

tbf totally fair, Ben has done a good job on Joel

Easy to play 100% defense when you do 0% on offense lmao 0 points again.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Seth, Kyrie, and our own stupidity can still make us lose this one. I really need to see Embiid demonstrate the maturity to play a normal 2nd half.

Yes! This X10000. This is where maturity out of Embiid is so necessary.

[Sixteen]

Brooklyn aint goin no where with Ben Simmons running point. For all the 2nd round jokes the Sixers get, Nets aint been out the second round since 2003

That doesn't matter though. Nor is it the point. Ben is a role player with Brooklyn and while I hate to admit it, a damn good one. He's just being paid like a superstar lol

[76Love]

You know it's bad when even Kyrie of all people are sick of you

[Andrew Toney]

Joel needs to stop trying so hard. He has a great supporting cast. Can let emotions get in the way….**** Simmons. Like someone said, gotta see “mature Joel” in the 2nd half. Real easy to try and do too much.

Think our bench wins this for us.

[Murray_17]

Both teams are shooting over 55% from 3 lol and they were shooting over 60% until the middle of the second.

I still think they don't have enough size to cover Embiid with Claxton so they need to collapse. So i take Embiid playing badly if he keeps creating gravity for shooters.

[Negrodamus]

I can't believe we got Harden for Ben, Seth, Drummond, and Royce. Just insane how lopsided that trade was.

Not really Embiid is pressed if he calmed down than Ben would have no chance really. Embiid is not even getting good positioning on him just tryna flex right now and it's not working out lol

Offense is much more important than defense, and he is a zero on offense, that's why a traffic cone like Maxey is still much more valuable than a bum like Simmons.

[Negrodamus]

I know we're not going to, but I feel like Paul Reed would be more interesting in a few minutes this half since Harrell can't block a phone call much less an NBA player.

[phillynative]

So I doubt if Maxey is going to give us another 16pt half. Sixers need to buckle down , Defend, Execute and stop the goofy sh*t.

[Jailblazers7]

Shake deserves a shout out too for his play in the 1st half.

[Murray_17]

Also, Curry being your second option right now forces you to put a Kyrie/Curry backcourt on the floor, which gives me flashes of the Hawks series lol

[Murray_17]

I really love Claxton man, he negated the PNR there just by staying on front.

[Negrodamus]

Does Doris like that Claxton isn't backing down to Embiid? I can't tell.

[phillynative]

Embiid is annoying me calm down bro why I's nic Claxton getting him in foul trouble

[phillynative]

Does Doris like that Claxton isn't backing down to Embiid? I can't tell.
