Don't think you can have Hartenstein in there at this point. Embiid is playing practice against him.

As good as Hartenstein is it’s like putting Rui on Jokic at this point. It has been proven beyond doubt that this will not work 1 on 1.

Not putting in Hield for Lowry a few minutes into the 3rd is what could end the Sixers season. Fun game man

So when Embiid comes back, Thibs takes out Robinson and puts in IHart so Embiid can get an easy hook shot in the post

At this point, Thibs shouldn't be saving fouls. Play Robinson or Achiuwa and let them bang with Embiid.

It's Game 6 but the intensity of this game feels like a Game 7

He was cooked by 2017 in Charlotte. That was 7 years ago. Do you realize how triggered we all get by this?

Supermax.

With a no trade clause.

That's just how it works with him.

The sooner Mitchell returns the better, I cant stand seeing how non-existant Hartensteins presence is against Embiid, he cant stop him.
