EARLY START!!! Game Day: 76ers (18-8) @ Suns (15-9), Sat 2/13/21

[Split T]

Does Frank start the 3rd? Seems like Saric has already supplanted him...I’d start Crowder though.

[bajanguy008]

Game playing out as expected for the most part, will like the starters to be solid to begin the 3rd and whatever lineups they go to without Embiid has no right hanging with our bench

The problem with that is Saric has been our best big by a mile. Ayton needs to wake up.

True but even if Dario comes in early for DA for whatever reason and then when Embiid sits it aligns with DA coming back in
It's all the same thing to me, whatever 5 we rolling with will have the advantage

I get what you mean tho that DA ineffectiveness might limit the starters but don't worry he gonna give us a lil something here the rest of the way

It feels like DA has a mental block when he plays against physical, large centers like Embid. Has he ever had a good game against the 76ers?

[Split T]

Good start to the half

[Split T]

I feel like Ayton is almost never even looking for the pass on the roll

[jonh]

Ayton has been really lazy on defense this game as well--he has failed to shift back over to Embid a couple of times just this quarter.

[Oatmeal]

Embiid just taking practice jumpers and playing in slow mo. We can't do anything about it. Blarg.

[Oatmeal]

Ben Simmons gets way too much shit for not being able to shoot, that mans defense is incredible.

[bajanguy008]

We talk about Book getting calls and the lack of respect
I find Mikal definitely doesn't get any at all , so many soft calls every game
For sure the refs don't give him that All NBA defender benefit of the doubt or leeway

[Flagrant Fowl]

I wish I could know what Crowder was saying to Simmons during his free throws.

[bajanguy008]

@JCrossover getting the shout out chillin at the game

[Flagrant Fowl]

I feel like Ayton is almost never even looking for the pass on the roll

I feel like he's almost never looking for much of anything most of the time. He just runs around setting screens and holding the ball to make a pass 20-feet from the rim.

[bajanguy008]

Ok game tied and out goes Embiid and Simmons probably soon sitting too
It's Go Time

[Oatmeal]

Man Dario just helps in so many areas. What a great addition

[Wally_West]

Booker is a fucking all-star. Plain and simple, he deserves a spot.

[Split T]

Booker is a fucking all-star. Plain and simple, he deserves a spot.

For sure playing like one today

Good Good
Hit em with another run early

[Mori Chu]

Suns attacked the basket really well in the latter part of the 3rd quarter. Booker and Cam both look frisky. Dario also playing great; welcome back, fella.

Good start to the 3rd, ugly middle, great finish to the quarter. Hope we can finish strong, won’t surprise me if Dario finishes the game instead of Ayton.
