You could tell Thybulle felt extremely comfortable playing there. Probably because of the defense he played in college.

We need to do that way more often. Just play Zone all game next time Embiid sits and see how it goes.

Guess I shouldn't have turned this one off? Lol

Wizards just scored 6 points in 4 seconds and took a lead on the Nets with 2 seconds to go

Remember, UW was a zone defense and Matisse was legitimately one of the best defenders in the history of college basketball. It would be wild to deploy a defensive wrinkle just for Matisse but I'm here for it.

lol me too. I turned it off halfway the 3rd and just checked the score to see how many points they beat us. What a shocker. I guess I'll be watching the replay later.

All it took was for me to stop watching

I can't believe we pulled off this one.

2 game lead on the East

Fantastic win. Matisse and Furk :bowdown:

What a turnaround tonight.

Wizards just beat the Nets.

We go up 2.5 games in the East.

what a win fellas

Monix · Post #157 » by **Monix** » Mon Feb 1, 2021 2:37 am

Thybulle was a beast in the zone

Howard was solid in the second half, strong on the boards

Tough win to fight their way back in. Really needed to get that first win without Embiid out the way.

Happy Doc stuck with the young guys this time. He elected to keep the stiffs (seth&danny)on the bench and stuck with the guys who got us back in the game rightfully so.

Might have to run a zone with Matisse and Ben more often.

Tomjas · Post #160 » by **Tomjas** » Mon Feb 1, 2021 2:39 am

The only things wrong with Howard are his fts and giving away dumb fouls every now & again

The guy is a massive upgrade over some of the backups we have trotted out in the last few seasons
