Wouldn't mind a win, wont cry for a loss.

Would also love to see Paulo explode for 40+ points.

Me too but there are too many mouths to feed and he draws too much defensive attention relative to his current skill level. We honestly lucked out early this season with the injuries when they had to step up with high usage. The team sucked but it was a preview of what might happen long-term.

Oh for sure. I mean this is a brutal stretch for us, so any wins can make our days easier.

However, with PB slumping lately plus PJ Tuckers calling card of shutting down players... PB is gonna have a rough night. Also, Tobes has the length to keep up with Franz...

Let us not forget the elephant in the room, Embiid. Lol WCJ gonna be in foul trouble and Ebiid 's eyes always lights up when he sees Bamba

[eyriq]

Not expecting much. I do hope it's competitive though. I'm rooting for Franz and Paolo to go off more than anything. 4.5 back from the play-in has me a bit pessimistic at this point. Though, in a world where we make the play-in we win this game and start a new wave of momentum. The energy and effort needs to be through the roof.

[GameOver25]

I expect a beatdown, maybe throw in one of those late 4th quarter feel good rallies.

[tooler]

I could also see the team playing super hard to bounce back from a bad game, but ultimately lose this one because they just don't have the firepower.

It's impossible to predict though. Maybe Bamba will score 40 this time.

[thelead]

I’m just hoping for an entertaining game. It’ll be interesting to watch the WCJ/Embiid matchup

[3ddman23]

Soooo how bad will niang kill them tonight... he seems like the prototypical player that woukd kill us right?....

[penny_nz]

Hoping for a good bounce back performance, regardless of result

[eyriq]

Mosley better deliver some solid rotations. My complaining is queued up!

[eyriq]

Another game where our offense comes out sputtering

Not sure why you were annoyed with him riding the bench last game though. They brought us back.

I don't get the "should've brought starters back" argument when they were -20 the entire game and played like they got drunk the night before. Bench got tired but it was more to send a message that they wouldn't have even GOTTEN to return if it wasn't for that group.

I get that angle. Sending a message by running a unit 15 + mins is killer

[Howard Mass]

Let's Go Magic!

[3ddman23]

Game over....

[penny_nz]

Rough offensive start already, just seems a bit ... awkward and forced

Good steal and then challenge at the rim by Paolo

[ChosenSavior]

These first 4 minutes have been rough

I figured he just though they deserved to finish. Momentum can sometimes offset being tired.

Imagine the inverse, he brought back the starters after Chicago calls a timeout when we cut it to 6, they blow a lead (or rather good momentum) yet again and Mose gets railed for bringing back guys who didn't deserve it. Lose-lose tbh.
