Game 31: Sixers vs Clippers.....7 is the lucky number

[ankle420breaker]

Doc playing Pj with only 20mins and closing the game with the starting 5 and Milton was a good move.

Growth moment for Doc??

Great win but Clippers are a bad matchup for us if we meet in the finals, PG n Kawhi are like a poor man's version of MJ n Pippen doing a full court press in 4th quarters

Clippers' offense sucks and they have no point guard to create easy looks for their wings.

A team that includes Kahwi and PG can't suck. Sure they've been inconsistent with more injuries than us, but u can't look at bad numbers with injuries and claim they are the 29th worst offense that's foolish

We’d be fine in a playoff series against the Clips because they can’t punish us with second chance points. We can compete with them with points per possession as long as both teams have almost same number of possessions.

[Kova]

What a game!
Harden's monster triple double shadowed the fact that Jo had another cold 44.

I like how we kept calm after being down 20 and slowly crawled back into the game until Clippers didn't know what hit them.

It's clear that Melton and Milton have been the winners this season. They took every opportunity to grow in their role.
I like where our team is right now. Hoping Maxey can gel back in seamlessly too.

And about the Clippers, they are such a weird team. So much talent, but zero character. I have no idea who their leader is. It's certainly not Kawhi or PG. They ain't winning anything with that team.

[Wilfried]

Was so happy with the Melton addition, happy to see I was right for one time
We need such players.

Maybe 1 more shooter from the bench and 1 more big body.

Watching Kawhi, I feel like Embiid should age his game gracefully to operate as a big Kawhi offensively. Off the dribble economical midrange dominant game with the occasional foray to the rim when overplayed to one side. He needs to shoot it better to become Kawhi but I see no reason he can’t. Watching them on the court together both scoring with ruthless efficiency hit the point home for me.

It's foolish to think a theoretical upside from 5 years ago still applies now after several major injuries and aging. The Leonard/George duo is not scary anymore. And the Clippers offense is definitely weak nowadays. Did you see how they looked once they stopped making impossible shots?

Wait, we played 6 players?
Smart move Doc

Doc needs to stop jerking Reed around and find him constant minutes, not always in crunch time, but minutes where he can grow make mistakes and learn from them. Yes it may take him a little longer to not be so foul-prone. But sitting on the bench for three four games in a row then being inserted into a high-paced game is not the way he will learn that skill effectively.

Also good going on Shake finding his basketball ability again.

And even though she has been cringe-worthy for the most part, I have to give Kate props for using the M&M reference when Milton and Melton were playing well together.

In terms of Reed, I think beyond the battle for playing time with Harrell, it's also partially a battle with Thybulle since it's really tough to put both of those guys on the floor together offensively.

Melton said one ref was calling him Shake two games ago lol

The hope which was more like a Hail Mary was that Thybulle would finally get some consistency on his three point shot. Not happening. Both him and Reed are still valuable players in certain situational aspects of the game. Definitely agree that you cannot play them together. Something tells me Reed will be the primary backup in the postseason.

Robert Covington seems to be out of the rotation. Be good to have him on this team.

He's not good anymore.

Lol…No wonder he’s not getting playing time.

Covington was one of the most overrated players I've ever seen in the NBA, can't be mad though because he was undrafted, and it obviously was for a reason.

For an undrafted player he has done quite well for himself.

He was not too bad when he was a rocket.

I love how the team is playing but I’m also terrified. Feeling excited with a seven game winning streak going into a national TV Christmas Day game feels like a classic Sixers let down scenario.

Terrified of the mediocre Knicks?
