Will all of our new guys be able to play tonight? If so, I'm looking forward to seeing them especially KJ Martin. Oh, and Tyrese is gonna Tyrese the Raptors as usual.

This is exactly what will happen...Followed by James Harden dropping 40 on the Knicks in his debut as a Clipper.

Nurse didn't seem to think they'd be ready until early next week

Gotcha. So I guess it will be either Reed or Oubre who will start in place of PJ tonight.

Lineup assuming the new guys aren't available:

PG Maxey | Beverley
SG Melton | Springer
SF Oubre | Korkmaz
PF Harris | House
CE Embiid | Reed

I'd like to see minutes from Springer and Kork to see what we have there, before they get buried in the rotation when the new guys suit up.

Nurse already said Oubre will start for now.

So the raptors just beat the bucks last night by dbl digits and schroder and Barnes combiner for 45 pts. That backcourt cannot defend and will have issues all season.
The raptors should be feeling good about theirselves and OG is back who didn't play the last time we played them.

Should be a nice little test for the sixers.
I'm hoping to see more Springer and maybe Kj for athleticism.

Can we recover from the loss of PJ Tucker? The NBA podcast community seems to think he’s a significant loss lol

Valid question. His scoring output will be missed.

That reputation is how he got a 3 year deal. It wasn't warranted and we're better having shed his salary.

Tucker already played last night so the new guys could play if the Sixers want them to. Deal is fully official and they’ve had time to fly over and be with new team. Sounds like it’s Nurse’s call when to put them in.

I don't know how we can replace Tucker's shot taking ability.

76ciology · Post #15 » by **76ciology** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 5:52 pm

Sounds like the earliest the new guys can be available is on saturday. Im just gonna watch the replay for this one. Not worth waking up early with.

He didn't shoot nearly enough. The numbers look okay, tbh. 1.9 3pa per game on ~40% efficiency. The problem is how many times he passed up wide open shots and they had to just totally reset the offense.

Arsenal · Post #17 » by **Arsenal** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 8:15 pm

I too am concerned about how to replace PJ’s elite shooting. Did you see what he did for LAC last night?

ProcessDoctor · Post #18 » by **ProcessDoctor** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 10:36 pm

Are the new guys sans Batum active tonight?

Hope we win!

Worried about starting Oubre, i understand why but he and Maxey sound like a lot of defensive issues.
