Northern Expedition: Sixers @ Raptors Game 5

They have to get Redick and Tobias going. Down 20 you need to get smoking hot. We need our shooters to open it up.

Can’t really take Embiid out because we can’t protect the paint. We just have to hope he starts to play well.

If Biid and Ben arent gonna improve their shooting. One of them has to go. No compromise

The only way is to take Embiid out and play Bolden, run up and down the court to get open looks to JJ and Tobias. Simmons is effective in that role on offense, Will Brett change it up tho

Embiid AND Ben playing like absolute dog poop is what hurts the most. I miss the days of blaming Marco Belinelli and having no shot creators

That's an easy choice. Ben will be a backup PF in this league in 3 years.

I think we just got to try a small ball lineup with Bolden and try to push the pace. Simmons leading a run with some fast break pushes is our only
hope. Agreed that JJ and Tobias is also a must.

At least I enjoyed watching Marco play. He had a spirit to his game.

People like you make me sick.

Philly will be worse off if they win this series. The problems (Brett, Simmons) need to be nipped in the bud if they are to NOT waste Embiid's prime.

It's highly possibly and likely that if Brett stays we will see a day soon where Embiid is deciding where he wants to play as a free agent and it won't be Philly.

The only way to keep a superstar is to win, no matter what loyalty that player expresses. That's the cold, hard fact.

Redick as usual if he is not hitting 3s he is useless. **** Redick, out of this team ASAP. Hopefully this DHO crap ends

Honestly I'm still just shocked and hurt that Embiid played they way he did game 4. If he's even at 80% we win that game. This outcome doesn't even surprise me as much. We just have to hope dude is healthy and brings his energy back for game 6

Yeah, 20 on the road against a very good team is tough. And Jo right now is a negative. We need to run.
