Embiid gonna need his asthma inhaler by the 3rd quarter at this rate

Joel isn't even trying to hide his illegal defense. Refs don't care. Theis will have to keep taking and making those threes.

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 can hit those. If they leave him wide open every possession, I want him taking those.

Winning the Turnover + Offensive Rebound battle by 8, giving us 8 more FGA. That won't last.

Jaylen's flat top seems to be growing back out. I hope he doesn't revert back to 2019 Jaylen Brown because of that...lol

Embiid is not going to keep hitting step back fade-away threes

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.

Test his ball handling.
Make him defend out to the perimeter.
Let him have super high usage if he wants.

He won't last the series.

Yes and Joel won't shoot 100% for the series. There are lots of trends at this point that aren't going to hold up.

He's got a good shooting stroke. Just needs to stop hesitating.

Kanter does one thing. He needs to make low post points.

Get Kanter out if he can't hit bunnies.
