Sixers @ Cavs (12/9 - 8PM) 

Post#1 » by Sixercise » Sat Dec 9, 2017 1:32 pm

No Embiid tonight, Saric is doubtful (eye). However, Booker T makes his 6er debut, should hopefully bring a good motor off the bench.


Possibly BB might trott this starting lineup:

Bayless
JJ
Cov
Ben
AJ

....with Booker T and Holmes staggering big man minutes. hopefully TJ is doing much better.

I wanna see Holmes start with how they have started slow the past 2 games. We need his energy to get going early.

Now that their winning streak it over, this would be a good game to give Lebron a rest. C'mon Cavs, toss us a bone.

maybe a mistake not to put Embiid out on the court with LeBron. given we haven't hired a full time big man coach, this remains the best mentoring available to JoJo, plus i really want LeBron to max out the time he gets to scope him and Ben out on court. 'cause we need to max out our shot at being a Bron destination.

Trevor Booker needs to play not as big man version of TJ McConnell but big man version of LeBron James with mix of Michael Jordan
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Blowout loss incoming. No reason to adjust my Saturday night plans to watch this one.

Even though this is very likely an L, I would love to see Ben make up for his last performance and take it at Lebron tonight. I feel like he always has an edge playing away but we'll see.

Expecting us to make shots and staying relatively competitive. Then, complaining about Embiid sitting out this game ensues.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we then miss shots next game.
