They're undefeated at home. Should be a good game.

Last game they got some good home cooking.

Am I the only one who's annoyed with Embiid and his antics? I used to find his Twitter "persona" amusing but now he's annoying.

It’s still funny to me. Most players trash talk. He just know how to be clever with it and use social media to his advantage.He’s taken his game to another level this season so at least he’s backing it up.

Simmons’ is the one that kinda annoys me with his arrogance.

Minutes per game:
Kemba 33.5
Batum 33.3
Lamb 24.5
Marvin 23.3
Monk 23.3
Cody 22.6
MKG 21.2
Miles 19.5
Parker 18.4
Hernangomez 14.5

Are we happy with this? Minutes outside Kemba + Nic are fairly evenly distributed.

All in all it's pretty solid for a good season long term. I really think Hernangomez has played well but the emphasis on small ball leaves him on the short end of the stick sometimes. I think Miles will work his way up to 23-25 mpg, taking a bit away from Marvin and his inconsistency. Same sentiment for Monk and Lamb. Also I think Batum should be more at 28-30 mpg and I'm really happy JB decided to bench him at the end of the Hawks game. But all things considered, there's no glaring issue IMO.

When we're playing a big physical play biz for spot minutes and let him go nuts.

this is exactly what it should be. I actually think we're over-playing Batum, and some of those minutes can go to Miles and MKG. Other than Kemba, everyone on the team should be playing roughly half the game.

Biz defended Embiid rather well last game if I recall.

I'd prefer slightly fewer minutes for Batum and Marv and slightly more for MKG and Miles, but thats just being nit picky.

Much better than either of Cody or Willy.

A Hornets win would be really helpful in putting last night's Panthers debacle out of my mind for a little bit.

I remember wondering where MKG and Marvin were gonna get their minutes. You wanted Frank gone. I remember you targeted him. You definitely didn't want him at the 4. He's now behind Biz on the depth chart. JB is giving Frank 1 minute per game. Out of all people I'm sure that makes you super happy. It was the right decision. Sad for Frank though. We have problems at the 4-5. But JB is doing a great job with some of the scraps left behind by Cho.

This game is a win. We slept through the last game, but should be up now. It can't feel great going 0-4 against them late last season and already 0-1 this season. If we lose tonight., might as well not show up in the playoffs if we match up to them.
