Are Simmons and Harris better able to operate without Embiid in the lineup? Think this game was more competitive without Embiid? It feels like this might’ve been a loss had Embiid played but maybe he would’ve taken away from Harris and Simmons?

Seems like every shot pulled away from Simmons would have been a win for the Jazz.
 
That was a weird *** game. This is a cop out, but I think the "late" scratch from the Sixers really confused the Jazz. As we know, Quin is very reliant on his preparation. He is not an adjustment coach. Props to Simmons and Harris for lighting us up, but I do think the Jazz weren't ready and it showed.

JC is just amazing. It's unbelievable how good he's been. Ingles was terrific all night as well. We really needed them because Bogey couldn't make a 3 and Mitchell was having one of his weird, WTF is he doing games. You have to win the ugly ones too although they will have to kick it into gear to keep the streak going.

The good:

Royce, Clarkson, jingles

The bad:

Our defense, Bogie is back in a shooting slump (0-6 from 3 tonight), and Mitchell wasn’t very efficient.

I think we dodged a bullet tonight. Had Embiid played, this would’ve been a loss.

Maybe and maybe not. Harris and Simmons would not have gotten that many shots. Maybe Rudy plays better. Don't forget we played without Conley too. The reality is we won with the guys we had available. You can always over analyze or assume that things would be different but you never know. Anyways i am happy for the win.

We're getting rather spoiled, because winning by double digits against the best team in a conference and scoring 134 points along the way shouldn't be considered ugly.

Simmons hook shot has looked like Kareem's this year and he was on fire from the FT line. Put shooters around him and he's probably a MVP type player.

If Embiid plays it's a completely different game, so it's really pointless to speculate on what would have happened.
