As soon as Embiid comes in, we lose the lead, predictable.

Give Batum the max.

Batum is just plain saving us so far in this game.

We didn't know anything about Playoff Nic

It's like when a QB who struggles to read complex blitz schemes in the NFL struggles mightily vs them and fans go "They weren't prepared for the blitz." No, sometimes they are and the QB just sucks at dealing with it. Embiid has never handled aggressive double teams well. Ever. And the Sixers don't have a lot of good shooters or guys who can beat you off the dribble penetrate a zone. It's really that simple. You wanna beat zone defense, construct a roster that's good at doing it.

You live and die in the playoffs with your stars and the Sixers star every single playoff series is easily taken out of games with aggressive double teams and forcing him to process information fast and rely on subpar role players to win. Get better players, get better results.

They have the perfect team to be the zone actually

Tobias should not be out there to finish this game.

Amazing Batum, he is playing at 200% for us, as a fan you have to applaud all that effort!

He's not even shooting. We had a 40ft heat check from Batum, then an all backboard by Tobias, then a rushed brick by Hield. Now we have the lead again, but none of it was really a consequential play by Embiid.

Winning this game would seriously be delaying the inevitable.

So our franchise player tonight is Nicolas Batum, a guy averaging 5ppg. Interesting.

Biid should be ashamed.

And please for the love of god, get Tobias out of the game and bring Oubre back.

also like how Bill Keneddy just allowed Bam to offensive line hold Jo on that Jaquez drive

This is true, however, that's the main issue, he doesn't put enough pressure on offense, as a result, the offense is stagnant. Other players are forced into tougher shots.

We've found our franchise player. Nikki Batum time.
