Do Not Sell My Personal Information
TBH Moses Brown is probably the best option on the entire roster versus Embiid 1 on 1..even compared to Allen. Just the sheer size and willingness to use all 6 fouls if needed.
Moses will have four fouls in the half today. The kid is raw but not ready to play effectively against the likes of Embid. The refs, with Moses basically being a rookie, will hit him with at least two ticky tack fouls just because it’s Embid.
 
I'm chalking this one up as a loss unless Embiid doesn't play.
 
This seems like a game to rest Garland and Love coming off a back to back. Not sure if this is a game we can win, so focus on staying healthy and making sure we beat Orlando next week and can go into the last 3 games rested.
Yeah I'm ready to chalk this up as a lost. This supposedly second easiest schedule has become a disaster.
 
Embiid questionable to play crossing my fingers
He tweaked his left ankle in yesterday's game. Hopefully it stiffened up on the plane flight.

If he can't go that's 30 points and 15 boards the Sixers will have to get from somewhere else. And it won't be from DeAndre Jordan, although he can surely hold his own for 25-30 minutes. He's the only other center on their roster.

Harden don’t scare me but Embiid terrifies me unless we had allen and Mobley playing lol but none are so we need Joel to take the day off
 
Objectively, we only have about a 30% chance of winning this game. Basically, we have to shoot great and they have to shoot poorly and we have to defend like crazy.

But, bball players are not robots. They're human. Philly will likely be overconfident. Our guys will be out to NOT be swept by Philly. There's no reason two or three of our players couldn't play out of their minds.

Let's do it.
 
Bloodbath.

Cavs only +4, make your bets
 
Just rest Garland man. Fuck this game. Probably gonna get beat down anyways and we’ve been running DG into the ground.
 

According to Fedor, Embiid wasn’t moving around very well in pregame.
 
I have a good feeling for today's game and I have no idea why. I cannot wait to revisit this after the game too...
 
of course butler is out against the raptors
