God I still remember that pathetic Sexton layup attempt on Embiid with Clarkson wide open in the corner. THT makes that pass or yams it on Embiid.

Yeah, just like how THT yammed it on Embiid a few plays earlier… wait… he tried a backwards reverse and got blocked.

I wished Sloan was doing the presser. It would be spicy and salty.

 

[HeatCheck]

If he was 6'6 it wouldn't be an issue, but it's just hard to have a positive impact playing his style at 6'1.

He's our 6th man. If he was some great game manager/facilitator he would be starting and would've gotten a bigger contract too.

Embiid scoring on every play erases transition opportunities.

That is not an excuse to miss our shots, turn the ball over and badly miss FTs. Their offense wasnt great in that game.

Embiid scoring 26 points in the 4th quarter had a dramatic impact on our offense.

I can't believe somebody is trying to claim that Embiid being left on an island against Olynyk wasn't our biggest issue. He scored virtually every play he got the ball.

Also, Sexton 1-5 from the FT line.

If they aren't going to use Dok, just waive him.

I mean if Hardy won't even use Kessler in the most blindingly obvious situation where he should have, then yeah what was even the point of keeping Dok?

I still think Mike shoud have sit tonight. But i can understand Hardy. Mike the the better playmaker by far on this team (with THT). JC and Sexton together are not a good combination for me, not enough passing. But we were tired, we have the toughest schedule and play more games than any other team in NBA. Not a big deal. We will bounce back..

The league has rewarded us with two home games before we go on the road for 4 out of the next 5 with 2 back to backs. Brilliant!!!

We scored 2 points in the final 4 minutes. What he makes doesnt effect our chances to make shots. The game is tied at 4:39 and we literaly only make one more basket at the 3:24 mark.

I dont care what Embiid does you will never win a game that is close when you score 2 points in the final 4 1/2 minutes, that was the biggest factor was our poor offense.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Embid is the best player in the league. Struggling against him happen to almost every player every night. But the main reason why we loose was our poor shooting and shoot selection. Bench shoud also play more as starter were not efficient tonight.

 

[Elizah Huge]

The good news is we are 10-5 and 10 out of 15 games this season have been on the road with multiple back-to-backs.

We are 5-0 at home and 9-3 against the West so far.
