hield probably drops 35 on us tonight.

this is a must lose game

This would have been a great game to start Richaun at the PF spot. Matches up much better defensively with Anthony Davis than Ersan does.

Keep the ball away from Stauskas unless it's in catch and shoot situations. Solomon Hill will beast him around and rip the ball from him with ease.

Looking forward to seeing Langston Galloway off their bench. Awesome talent with a great skill set.

Ersan at SF and Dario at PF would make more sense, until Anthony Davis forces Dario to the bench. I like Ersan more as a help defender than Stauskas.

I'm assuming Embiid won't be guarding Davis, and vice versa at least for most of the game?

Davis goes for 40+ and 15+ boards tonight?

I hope biid has a bounce back game

Correct. Brow might be a little too fleet of foot for Embiid, anyway.

The Smoothie King Center? Damn, that's got to be the fruitiest name for an arena ever. You can't take your opponents seriously when their home is the Smoothie Center

With Davis and KAT, I don't actually think Embiid has a problem with their quickness, as he has shown he can move his feet well enough against even PG's. The problem is that he has never faced guys who had that type of game and know how to use their stride length to put you in a bad position. I think given the reps he will be able to stick with them as well as any PF or C. But they will make him look bad a bit while he is learning what they can do. And probably vice versa.

I dunno how NOP is favored by so much.

Those lines look good. Then again, last time I said this it didn't work out.

Feels like a 76ers win tonight.

How the hell is Okafor out again tonight??? With a damn stomach bug?

Sitting on the toilet this past week is about the only time he's "protected the rim" in his life.

when the team you play for doesn't care about wins why get out there when you are under the weather?

This will be a great learning experience for Embiid. AD shreds everybody, and I don't expect tonight to be much different.

I think this would be a win if we weren't so dinged up. Looking forward to it either way.

Embiid's double team issues are back.
