I hope for good Ayton-Embiid duel.

Ayton usually does better against opponents on the second meeting. Since their first meeting he's already developed so much in that little time. This one gon' be good.

As true as that is...

Embiid is a heck of a flopper and gets the benefit of the doubt from referees every time...I think Ayton will sit out due to foul trouble a lot as rookie Bigs never get favored by referees... And Embiid knows this

Someone that big and thick to act out as if he gets bumped by a truck every time is one of the issues I have with Embiid... The other being his media attention seeking ways. Otherwise he is a heck of a player.

all that "benefit of whistle" :lol:

i just hope that Ayton, being as cautious as he is, won't shy away from contact because he's scared to get in foul trouble.

is Holmes back? Because if Ayton gets in foul trouble, we have absolutely no one who can guard Embiid.

Bender has the length, and used to be fairly decent on defense, but he's probably not ready since he's barely played all season. The new guy we got, who knows, can't even remember his name.

Embiid is one of the most unlikable players in the league.

Pretty annoying to see other teams resting guys against us. It’s straight disrespectful if it’s ailments or injuries which aren’t bad and even worse that they do it on road games when fans in Arizona only get to see these guys once a year.

Bolden starts for them as a PF and Korkmaz as a SF.

Bolden is a pretty good defensive player, I really like what I have seen from him.

Kokmaz is an scorer, but a bit raw yet.

We will see...they are not gonna miss Wilson Chandler because they have Muscala coming from the bench at PF, but I think that they are gonna miss Butler big time.

Booker and Warren should eat Furkan alive.

The remainder of our home stretch is against tough opponents, but a lot of these teams are coming of off B2Bs so there's definitely the opportunity to win some of these games. A game like this, where the 76ers are shorthanded and playing the second night of a b2b, are the type of games we need to win IMO.

I think that he is gonna defend Bridges or Melton.

Simmons on Booker and Bolden on Warren.

Does EJ sound weird to anyone else?

Glad Sixers don't have Tatum, Mikal Bridges, Covington and Saric.
