That was the best ****ing play we could come up with?

lol Will Hardy

Our second-half defensive game plan against Embiid was great!! kudos to Hardy and staff.

What in the Tyrone Corbin was that play?

Yeesh, fight so hard to end up with a Mitchellesque shot for the loss. Good effort but I would hope we see better plays to close out a game in the future.

Perfect game. Competitive loss with rookies playing a lot of minutes.

You mean the "game plan" of playing Kessler because Olynyk was out and he had no choice?

We know what he would've done had he had the choice - we saw it last Sixers game.

GMs are no doubt ringing JZs phone regarding Clarkson.

Super impressed by Kessler tonight. He is insanely good. Can’t believe he’s just a rookie. Clarkson is ice water in the 4th. THT picked up part of the scoring load and played pretty well.

No lol double and triple teaming Embiid on every possession and forming a wall at the free-throw line forcing him to shoot jump shots and pass.

They win, they win. They lose, they still win.

Kessler is a damn stud. That shot has to come out of JC’s hands as soon as the pass gets to him. Can’t run into the trap trying to get a better look.

Have to run a better inbounds play and make sure that the ball is getting to a high IQ player that’s a threat to shoot right at the beginning. THT was not a great option right there because he basically has to get rid of the ball - he’s not the threat if it doesn’t develop.

Pretty sad that Beasley has been so bad that Hardy is closing with THT and NAW over him. I thought he would step up with Lauri, Sexton and KO all out. Obviously I was wrong.

Not really sad since THT and NAW look great.

Wow what a game. To think we even had a chance at all after the way this game started is a testament to the fact that this team has zero quit in them. Philly's gotta feel awful damn lucky. It took an explosion by harden and hitting some tough shots at the end to barely squeak out a win. Damn. Win or loss that was a fun game.
