We outrebounded the Sixers though.

Maybe about how Maxey flopped halfway across the floor when trying to draw an offensive foul on Tatum..and Maxey did the hand wave thing (if Tatum does that, he gets T'd up) so Maxey should have 3 technicals this game so he should have been ejected.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

If this ends up being like the last Sixers matchup, we're about to have a rough 3rd quarter

This.

We’ve actually had HEAPS of open looks from 3.

Meanwhile Philly has Maxey 40ft 3 and a Paul Reed for his 4th ever 3 made.

The C's still have massive trouble when try-hard teams like Miami, Brooklyn, Philly, or Detroit show energy or aggression.

Also, Kornet is not an NBA level player. I want that big plodding doofus off the roster.

The refs have no idea what they are doing with the flopping tech. I've never seen any rule that's so arbitrarily enforced.

The refs were asking why he didn't put Banton back in. Joe took umbrage.

Every team attacks the rim with Kornet out there. What's funny is I think he's underachieving. He's in position for multiple rebounds and literally doesn't try to grab them with his hands. It's pathetic.

JT not going off in the 1st half could be a good sign because he's going to come out hungrier in the 2nd half.

I'm still expecting 30 or more from JT in this game.

The fact that he hasn't gotten any real planying Time all year long while witnessing how bad kornet can be is mine boggling..

Lamar got real minutes vs Minnesota. He was the first one in off the bench. Also they don't play the same position.

3 of Sixers' 4 offensive rebounds were by Covington and Embiid.

Put Queta in there.
He may Foul Out, but at least he'll play Aggressively, and with Passion.

Problem in this game he's settling when he gets touches but hasn't got enough touches too. Tatum drawing fouls is the best version or else he floats sometimes.

A good third quarter would be pretty sexy, considering how Philly finished the half.
