I have no problem with single coverage on Embiid. Just don't give up wide open threes to anyone who is not Tucker. The issue right now is Tatum is playing like poop offensively.

Awful first quarter.

Unless Tatum shows up soon this is going to be a blowout.

We’re not winning this game.

It’s one of those Tatum games where he spends the whole game whining.

Just pathetic.

damn - horrible end to the quarter. Let's get it together!
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Tatum disappearing so far. Hate to see it and everyone besides JB is pressing on offense! Wake up boys, Philly will fold if we push them

That and the refs taking Jaylen out of the game.

Except for 7, NON EXISTENT OFFENSE & BIID DOMINATION ON THE OTHER END.
