Now...How the hell are we going to win these next two games?
1) Nurse needs to figure out a way to rest Embiid at least 4 minutes each half
2) I would consider sitting him with 4 minutes left in the 1st and 3rd quarters. This would give him extra rest because of the under 3 minute timeout plus the end of quarter timeout. then play him the entire 2nd and 4th.
3) I think Nurse needs to expand the rotation by at least 1 guy. I'd go with Council. We need a fresh body with energy.
4) I think our best lineup right now is probably Embiid, Maxey, Harris, Oubre and Batum. Definitely helps on the boards with a bigger lineup.
Many of the problems stem from the non-Embiid minutes. If we can perform better than the Knicks during these minutes, we're more likely to keep Embiid fresh for closing halves and games.
We experimented with going small in Game 5. I'm unsure if Nurse will continue this strategy, especially considering we didn't find much success with it during the regular season.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.
