Feel like this could get ugly. Our main guys all played 35+ mins and now a road game against a very good team.

If it does get ugly then bunch of idiots are gonna come out after with “Oh look Suns lost to another team that’s at full health, such obvious pretenders lmaooo” type crap.

Ayton needs to have a strong game. He’s the only starter that didn’t play too many minutes. This is a good opportunity to see how much he’s grown since the days of Embiid punking him as well.

every game against the sixers has been awesome recently. like last year when Embiid nearly tied the game on a full court heave. Book of course does the best against this team compared to any other opponent. Hope for the same this time.

I'm really curious to watch Ayton and Embiid.

Damn! Just moved to Philly and totally forgot to check when the Suns would be in town. Looks like I'll be watching from home.

Can't stop an MVP level guy doing his thing as Giannis, Embiid and Jokic have proven. The key is always to limit the other guys from also going off. We didn't do a good enough job on Jrue and Midds in the Finals. We can't let Maxey, Curry and Harris go off on us because Embiid is going to get his

Agreed, its not about Ayton stopping Embiid, its about us being able to leave Ayton in single coverage without letting Embiid score at will. If he gets 30-35 and 15, well, that's just about what he averages... so what.

Why would would want our best three point shooter in the starting lineup? Tonight's start answers that question.

Why, Crowder? Quit that leg kicking, fall down like you've been fouled crap and GET OFF THE FLOOR AND GET BACK IN DEFENSE. No one is buying it.

Luckily they missed on that 5 on 4 opportunity, but it put us at a disadvantage and this happens a lot more than it should.

Every shot seems to be affected by Embiid's presence

Aytons gravity on the role creates so many open shots for Suns that's a really under appreciated part of his game.

Sarver doesn't pay up I'm going to be pissed
