Corner-3s-only guys aren't so bad. But you shouldn't play more than two of them at once.

Problem with Semi is he has no idea to drive closeouts at least somewhat consistently. I'd rather play Romeo or Javonte who can just drive to the hoop/swing the ball when their shot isn't falling instead of Semi who is a disaster when shots aren't falling. Play Grant to guard bigger guys.

Is it the karma the Utah-fans screamed over us, after "what we did to IT" etcetera, we'll never know, but it was mostly just bad luck. In game threads people claiming Hayward's not clutch and shooting badly, well over the whole season he was actually very fine and losing him turns us into a non-contender IMO. We had a tiny chance and I really believed in it if all would be clicking but now we need a huge miracle.

The Hayward we're getting back post-ankle injury isn't aggressive Hayward. I can almost guarantee that. Would rather roll with what we've got now all the way to 18!! CHAMPIONSHIPS, BABY!!

Actually, I don't think he'll play again until he's ready to play the right way.
If I'm correct, that just further decreases the likelihood he'll play again this postseason.

At the end of the day I'm not really sure it matters whether or not Hayward has "bad luck" or is "injury prone". What matters is we've paid out a max deal to a guy who has given about half a good season in 3 years. It's time to take a cold, objective look at Gordon and let him go after next year barring some incredible play

I really don't think we need to worry about scoring even without Hayward. The Jays are stepping up their games to the point where I think we can focus on stopping Embiid and let the Jays and Kemba do most of our scoring.

Start Kanter and Theis?
