Game Thread | Game #48 | Bucks @ Cavs | Jan. 21, 2023

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The Kings could have been bailed out big time by the 76ers 4.6 seconds left in bound play Barnes fouled on the three, Kings down by three and Barnes misses his first free throw attempt... Philly came back from 21 took the lead on the road no Embiid and no Harden... Ugh...Games like this happen...
 
LeVert doesnt seem to realise he is better shooting 3's than those dumb in the lane shots he takes, his 3pt attempts have risen recently though so maybe he is figuring it out.

Mobley still needs to realise he can just go straight up a lot of the time, no need to pivot just go over the defender. Great game from him and hopefully he builds on this. Sexton and Garland both improved in second half of their 2nd seasons which carried into leaps in year 3 so maybe this is the first sign of a year 3 leap from Mobley.

Garland played well, was quiet from 3 after two big games. Silly turnover to end the third but didnt turn it over much overall

I am still far from convinced with Okoro, I hope they use his recent 'strong' performances to get something better at the trade deadline

Wade and Rubio got a run, may be slow build ups for both, Stevens should be out of the rotation when these guys are up and running

Nice to see Cedi have a good game

Allen was bad.
 
It feels like if all four teams battling for the two seed (Philly, NJ, Milwaukee, and us) were fully healthy over the rest of the season we’d end up with the four or five seed. But a couple of strategic injuries to other teams while we stay healthy could boost us higher.
Durant is out and the Nets lost four in a row. Philly is highly dependent on Embiid and Milwaukee on Giannis. It seems to me like Boston and Cleveland are the teams that depend less on one superstar and can withstand an injury.

The main guys we need to worry about losing are Allen and Mobley because they're the core of the defense. We saw what happened last year when Allen went down.
 
Philly is starting to get the look of a team that thinks they can win a title. The role players are starting to play the best they've ever played, in sync. When you start winning games like that on the road w/o your stars, in the middle of a hit streak..

Yeah my only doubt concerning the 76ers was their bench/depth…..but if those guys continue to step up they are a serious title contender. I still don’t see them getting past Boston or The Bucks!
