Plumdog and PJ were both in heavy foul trouble (5 each) and we had no other real back up big.

I assume he was looking to punish us in side and hopefully send one or both of them to the bench to create a serious advantage for them and help them get back into the game.

Make sense to me.

He also had Tobias at the 3, they still seemed to struggle to get the ball deep inside. Drummonds hilarious behind the back dribble, turnover reminded me why I don’t want him at Charlotte. He reminds me of Dwight trying to do too much on offense.

Also loved how it didn’t stop bridges driving the ball down there throats and yamming on their heads

I was just about to say the same thing. We've looked like a tough playoff team the last few games.


Miles was definitely playing angry the last few minutes of the game and even Mason was jawing a bit.

After playing like a bunch of soft, candy asses over the first half of the season, it's been really refreshing seeing the team play with some legit attitude since Christmas

Make sense to me.

Embiid is virtually unstoppable on the block without fouling him. It makes zero sense to me to plug in a big lumbering center that clogs the lane next to him, all it did was force Embiid out of the lane taking jump shots. It forced terrible spacing and Drummond is a total zero offensively.

Over .500 for the first time since Vietnam, beat the Bucks in a back to back. Beat the sixers. Game against the Magic coming up is the epitome of a trap game.

seems like a different guy takes a star turn every night: lamelo, terry, kelly; tonight Gordon (plus that final five minutes of beast mode by Miles) makes this team fun to watch
