Embiid out for Philly tonight and Keegan is out with an ankle injury so Keon is filling in the starting lineup.

Energy levels & focus were fantastic until about 2:30 left in the first. When Len was on the floor. Just looked out of flow. DDR played some hero ball then too, which is not a bad choice considering the offense was flat. But we can do better than that. Still had Fox oon the floor as well.

That's something I think Doug can address in film.

But really nice seeing this effort.

Not sure what happened to Len this year, I feel like he looks way more uncoordinated and just out of place this year than he has in the past.

He's fairly fast up & down the floor, but anything lateral.... :banghead:

This is a neat matchup with Drummond & Len.

You can see what a chore it is to keep Drummond off the boards, and a much more legitimate low post game. While Len sets better screens.

It's too bad WCS didn't have much of a career, just thinking of how helpful a really athletic and mobile big could be with our guys.

Definitely need a backup center upgrade or option.

So we got down, they never stopped fighting. Tied at half time. Effort still fantastic tonight. Start of 3d should be interesting, need to keep up the intensity

bad start to the second half putting the game in the Sixers hands

I would trade huerter for any player in the league. Hes officially my all time hated king. Just an awful awful player.

confident ending here

And... despite our bad bench, and im looking at you scrub Huerter, not sure we win this with Keegan playing

Great fight to end this game. Keon with some big time plays down the stretch.

KEON NEEDS MORE minutes. Fox is a beast! Monk clutch! Sabonis great game!

Get huerter and len out of the rotation and we can still make a season!

Im gonna be positive tonight! Happy new year! But first it's gotta be pointed out

Huerter 18 mins, 2pts, 1-8 fg, -11

Keon 38 mins, 9pts, 3-8 from 3, 4 steals +17
And biggest 3 of the game.

How a coach couldn't figure this out over 30 games is a rightful fireable offense.
