Definitely losing this one. Nick Nurse won't lose 3 in a row to Doc.

Curious how Harden will fare in a role that's more score-oriented. Based on general consensus Raptor will/should stay more attached to the shooters.
Think this will be the game that we will see a true P&R spam with Harden and Embiid.

I've given up on the Sixers being able to stop Achiuwa my only hope is we find some way to contain him

Jokic really just crushes in Embiid in offensive efficiency, it's wild.

Unfortunately Fraudkic can't VORP his way over 6'3 Gary Payton II when his team desperately needs a bucket though. Sad + statpadding fraud.

What's up with the Nets/Celtics series getting 2 days in between every game but this series is every other day? The Sixers series could potentially be over before the Nets/Celtics play game 3.

That article had Tobias as the 4th best PnR ball handler too lol

I think sticking to shooters sounds good in theory but then the Embiid/Harden PnR is just gonna murder you. We actually haven’t run that action as much as you’d expect because of the way Toronto is playing the gaps when Embiid or Harden have the ball. But if they’re less aggressive helping off shooters, we’ll just run it all game.

Vegas says this game will be close. Need to take one in Toronto, might as well make it this one.

Yeah this is definitely a loss, we need to already think about how we are going to win in game 4.
I'm telling you what will happen today, only Embiid will show up.

We need to take this one, because if we take the next one we're up 3-1 and we all know how Doc handles such leads

Not that long ago our main "perimeter" players were Ben Simmons and Josh Richardson (where is this guy anyway?), now it's Harden and Maxey...thank you Daryl Morey.

I'm not sure what's up with this scheduling. Hasn't every other series already got at least 2 games in the can?
