Game 13: Raptors @ 76ers

[Arsenal]

Good workman like win. Now will Jo and/or LeBron play Sun vs IND or Mon at BKN? I assume maybe Jo Sun then LeBron Mon.

It will be hard to beat anyone without Jo since we have no other bigs.

How long are Bona and Barlow out for?

Too long. Seems like another couple of weeks at least.

Cant win the championship unless we solve this 3pt shooting issue.

Anfernee Simons +23

Well whas the fix?

Embiids 3s are broken

Bron's as well, but not as bad.

Maxey is a good shooter, btu percentages been meh. But he has range,, can shoot off the ball, and it makes defenders be honest so he can drive

Brown is pretty avg from 3

VJ is avg to below avg

Trade Embiid for a stretch 5 like Jalen Smith/Naz?

[ProcessDoctor]

Great W.

VJ- 15/8/8 with 3 steals

What are the odds he's not the fifth best player in the starting lineup by the end of the season?

Huh, he already is...

Gotta give Lebron and Embiid until midseason before we shovel dirt on them

I think games without LeBron shows that Nurse needs be more mindful and faster in how he substitutes LeBron in and out.

LeBron overall is a major positive, but his and Joel's shooting aren't terrific, nor their defense in space.

The starters show that they can definitely close games together fine down the tight stretch of a game when they can choose to turn up the defense 1-5 and they execute well offensively.

But they should probably think of inserting KCP or Wade at like the 9 minute mark for LeBron simply to stagger things better. KCP shooting like 50% catch and shoot 3s and a consistent defensive presence. Wade doing well too, even if he is gun shy...

Then let LeBron come in to enhance the backup 5 offensively and call the backline defense instead of Joel.

Essentially just to keep more shooting and defense on the court as much as possible with staggering.
