The one silver lining to both Harden and Maxey out is that our backcourt defense should be significantly better even though our offense will be exponentially worse. I expect to see a lot of Melton and Thybulle on Antman tonight. I wonder how Reed will fair on KAT?

Thybulle breakout game incoming. He's about to hit 3+ threes

Doc Rivers: I know why you're here, Shake. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Shake. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

Tonight.....Shake awakens! It's happening

So... I guess Shake will be our 2nd star to stagger with Joel tonight since he's the only other player that can create a shot?

Read on Twitter


Tobias still out, this one looks really difficult to pull off.

We basically have a 9 men rotation right now, starters + Thybulle who is also rusty, Reed, Harrell and Niang

My GOD that's awful starting lineup Embiid has to play with, poor man will get back injury soon having to carry so much trash.

Shake getting confident and consistent again would be huge for our depth and potential trades. Silver lining in injury

There was a time when Shake was our best player from the bench.

Also Gobert most overrated player ever. Dude wouldn’t have a job if he wasn’t 7ft

Wolves are ass blow it up.

Is Embiid evolving? Becoming a better passer is the most important thing in his development imo.

Maybe he knows he has to up his passing game in order to win MVP?

Can someone tell me what House and Rudy Gobert are good at?

House has really quick hands and feet for his size, but his defensive fundamentals are terrible.
