OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers: We'll Make You Tap

[JojoTheWhale]

Bertans would be solid off the bench. He has been lights out. That being said a #1 might be abit much for him..

I completely understand not wanting to give up the one first they can trade for a frontcourt guy, but someone is giving a 1 unless he goes super cold from 3. I don't think that's even up for debate.

They do have some excellent 2nds that can be used in deals, probably in combination with Scott.

 

[DancingPanther]

Alright, so Simmons, Embiid, Richardson, and Horford have all missed time due to injury and mid December

 

[Jack Straw]

I like Bertans but I don’t think another big is really going to move the needle for the Sixers very much. It sounds like the Kings might make Bogdanovich available, I think someone like him would be a better fit.

 

[DancingPanther]

I have a good feeling

 

[Jack Straw]

Barkley points out what drives me crazy about Simmons (well, one of the things) - when he doesn’t have the ball he turns into a spectator. He should moving, cutting to the basket, posting up, whatever- just get the hell involved in the offense instead of just hanging around the low post.

 

[Cody Webster]

I'm pretty sure Embiid has gotten progressively worse at dribbling since he's entered the league

 

[Embiid]

I hate their stupid turnovers!

 

[Embiid]

Nice! Now no boneheaded last minute play please....

 

[Embiid]

Sigh..

 

[Halladay]

Not surprising. I like that Thybulle is in at the end though.

How does Kanter get so wide open?

 

[Embiid]

This team gives me an ulcer...

 

[Halladay]

Fouling Ben at the end, have to agree with that. He hit both that time though.

 

[Embiid]

Ha....Hack a Ben....FAIL! Suck that!

 

[Cody Webster]

It's never easy..

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Here we go.

 

[Embiid]

Hatem Tatum....

 

[Halladay]

Let Josh keep the ball. Don't give it to Ben here.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Atta boy Jojo

 

[Halladay]

Good block Joel.

 

[Jack Straw]

Very nice win. Embiid Man of the Match. 2-0 against Boston. Good times, at least for now.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

One of the best offensive games I've ever seen Embiid play. Give this team time. And a bench acquisition.

 

[Embiid]

Nice win!

 

[Embiid]

Good comments by Tobi about the Embiid criticism from Shaq...classy approach

Joel responded to Shaq's challenge...be aggressive..sustain it. Keep the motor runnin...

 

[Lotusflower]

Stevens outsmarted himself at the end there.
Simmons shoots 57 from the line but the Sixers halfcourt offense late in games converts at probably less than that.

At home with the #1 defense?
I'd have just stayed at home, trapped Embiid, and then rotated to everyone but Simmons.

 

[DancingPanther]

Big. f***ing. Win. Shorthanded too.

Let's go.

Embiid answers the bell, as always
