Horford always guarded Embiid in the past. Their whole game plan is going at Theis on defense, and letting Theis stay wide open on offense and key in on Tatum and other scorers.

Theis shot .376 over 5 years in Euroleague. Why does he look so unconfident now? It's got to be purely mental.

Perhaps I've overrated the team

We are getting anything we want on offense but we need to be better on defense.

SMTBSI · Post #253 » by **SMTBSI** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 10:57 pm

There we go Theis. That's gonna open the floodgates the rest of the playoffs.

Embiid sucking wind already. Dude will be done by the start of the 4th

Theis keeps making those and we'll blow their defensive scheme to shreds.

With the shooters they have, I think you make him work harder against varying coverage, but at some point other guys gotta make shots.

Also, he's prone to turnovers, so we want guys digging at the ball when he starts to put it on the deck.

There ya go Theis. You need to be practicing that top of the key shot like 500 times between games. It's gonna be there whenever he wants it.

Theis needs to be confident in taking those threes. Embiid's giving him LOTS of space out there. No time for hesitation, just let it fly when you're wide open.

If Theis can knock down 2 of those threes a game that’s huge
