The Bulls are going to be exposed. Giddey relies on switches and transition to get his offense going. Teams will catch on. Bigger teams like ours should have no issues with him.

This is where Bobby's flawed roster management is gonna hurt us. Even having a scrub Orlando Robinson's big body would help in games where Poeltl is missing. Go get us a real backup C for times like this!!

I think they will defend him better than ever today. Its hard to slow down Maxey when Embiid is playing, when he's not, not as much.

But they can't put Quickly on him.

Im pretty sure embiid is playing and resting tomorrow


Not sure if this is a typo or describes how he plays

The Jakob thing might derail our season. Sign Ben Simmons as a emergency backup bigman. May not be a rim deterant but he'll help with rebounding and DHO stuff.

Especially if we put Mogbo as the POA defender, right?

Embiid and Drummond are gonna feast on the board.

Gonna be tough to win tonight.


Drummond is really out of shape and chunky. Dude moves like's 40 out there. Embiid seems to be on some sort of minutes restriction and is a shell of himself. Can still drop 20 in those 25 minutes, but he's a perimeter player now. I still like our chances.

I also love the narrative from the media and fans on Kawhi and Embiid being the healthiest they have ever been and yet they are each on pace to miss 25-30 games lol. 76ers still owe Embiid 248 million.

Drummond is one of the best rebounders of all time and still is.

He can't do anything but grab boards right now and it's fair to assume that he'll generate a lot of second chance opportunities for Philly tonight.

I hope we get this one but idk...

Maxey might COOK his former teammate for fun lol and even though Embiid can barely jump, he has the size & game to get buckets almost any time he wants. Obv hope CMB can shine & deter that but 7'2 vs 6'7 and probably 30-40+ pds is a real thing. Hopefully CMB's physicality can bring out the b*tch in Embiid where he's too busy whining to the refs and costing them in transition and just letting it get to his head and effecting his game.

BUT this is also a HOME game for Philly, so CMB has to watch the FOULS from one of the biggest "free throw merchants" in the game. I think Darko will need to ask IQ to be a bit humble ie/ let Shead play more minutes on Maxey and those to me are the keys to us winning this game.

Even if most of them will be his own multiple misses per possession ;)

I don’t know if playing Embiid = edge for Toronto


He’s not very good anymore. He’ll get his points but we’ll take that.

VJ seems streaky and has come back to Earth (will still be great in the future), but Maxey is playing like a first team all NBA guy.
