Even though the Pistons are a tougher out than the Wizards, we should win this one.

Piston's ability to hang is solely dependent on Bojan.

Is Wizards/Pistons/Pistons the easiest three-game stretch in Sixers franchise history?

I'll hang up and listen to your thoughts. lol

Then once we face a good team, either we sit Embiid or they sit their best player. LOL

Get 100 NetRtg then be shocked with how ill equipped we are for the playoffs.

Well, its because you were playing against garbage teams, in parts of the game where refs call the game differently, mostly parts of the game where teams dont give their full effort or teams who aren’t playing with their full roster.

Its hard to be a center in today’s NBA. The advantage of Embiid is he’s hybrid SF and C. He can play small or big, on both ends. He has no match-up problems among Cs (though we havent seen how he would fare against Wemby), and he’s a match-up problem among all Cs.

Think about Paul Reed, Reed struggles against bigger Cs. While a guy like Jonas Valanciunas is the opposite of Reed.

His enemy is himself. Doing too much and exhausting himself. The opponent’s best defense against him is not fouling him and not letting him rest at the FT line.

Which is not what the Pistons did this game.

I watch these games to look at other players I don't normally get to see. Bojan stands out big time for Detroit. They're just wasting that guy there. They should trade him to a winning team.

Jaden Ivey is like a wild horse. Once he settles down he's going to be a big time scorer in this league.

Glad we got to see Springer and Martin tonight. Both can contribute on winning teams. Both should remain in Philly.

Embiid looks so in control of the game out there. Dominating these bad teams looks effortless compared to prior years.

Time will tell if he can hold up under pressure & against better competition but I really like what I’m seeing from him this year. Underrated stat for him is that he’s averaging a career high in offensive rebounds. I think it’s indicative of the improved effort & physicality he’s playing with under Nurse.

Ivey should start. He puts so much pressure on defenses when he's going downhill. He's listed as 6'4 but looks bigger and probably matches Maxey in speed

these games suck

HOWEVER in past years we'd lose some of these or lollygag our way to a win....taking care of buisness is an improvement.
