Game Day: 76ers (16-19) @ Suns (14-23), Sun 12/31/17

Just very good defense from the Suns this quarter. Very Good.

[bajanguy008]

don't look now but Marquese is making this type of effort a trend

Suns had an all-time quarter offensively. 40 points!

[Mori Chu]

MUCH better second half so far. Fun to see them make a game of it. Embiid kind of abusing us inside right now though.

[Mori Chu]

I like the lineup we have on the floor. Canaan, Booker, Daniels, Bender, Chandler. Mostly offensive firepower but with Chandler and Bender to bother their bigs.

He destroyed Alex Len.

[The Bobster]

I sure don't miss Leander being the regular play-by-play guy.

[Mori Chu]

Booker with a big 3 to bring us within 1. After a horrible start he's basically caught Warren in scoring, 25 to 26.

Those two don't have much help, though. We really need one or two other guys who are capable of putting up 20 points on a given night. Right now after Warren and Booker we just have Chriss with 12 and Chandler with 10 and then single-digits after that. The team leans on the Big Two too much.

[Mori Chu]

Josh Jackson currently 2-10 shooting. Ulis is 1-6. Daniels 1-5.

[Mori Chu]

This is not exactly a novel thought, but Ben Simmons is a really interesting player. He's good at so many things. Not a great shooter, but he makes so much impact on the floor. Reminds me of J.Kidd a bit in that way.

[Mori Chu]

Scary fall for Booker and Embiid. Looks like they're okay.

[O_Gardino]

Booker with an airball. wow

[O_Gardino]

Just too much Embiid for us tonight.

[The Bobster]

Booker showing his 1 on 5 game this quarter.

[Mori Chu]

This one is about over.

[TOO]

It's too bad Booker doesn't get the I ran into the guy but he's the one who fouled me calls that Harden gets.

[O_Gardino]

Now warren with an airball to close the game. Nice to get 4 of them tonight.

[carey]

Suns in a nutshell. Team can put up 40 points for a quarter but in the same game also have points of 17 and 21.

I'm telling you, we were great when Embiid was on the bench!

[Mori Chu]

Not too upset to lose to this team. They're better than we are right now; their youngs have had more years to mature, and Embiid is healthy and taking the league by storm. It's closer to being their time, and we aren't there yet.

PING-PONG BALLS BABY!
