Game Day: Suns (43-10) @ 76ers (32-21), Tues 2/8/22

[Flagrant Fowl]

Doc Rivers has his team schemed well to defend the mid range jumpers and closing out shooters. The result is way too many shot attempts for McGee.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ugly start to the second half. Sixers getting easy strolls into the paint and the Suns can't buy a bucket.

[Uncle_Gene]

That was NOT illegal defense.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Glad I'm watching this game to hear the refs blow their whistle.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Impatient Sixers offense gave the Suns enough of a window to get back into the game. I don't know what they're thinking if Embiid doesn't touch the ball on every possession.

[ShelC]

Things getting chippy, refs are simultaneously letting a lot of physical play go but then blowing the whistle on touch fouls.

We've come back to take the lead but scratching and clawing. Haven't really found an offensive rhythm so we might have to win ugly. JaVale is doing work again tonight.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Both of these teams excel in the dark arts, so it has to be a tough one for the officials when it comes to calling fouls.

Entering clutch time, let’s see how our rating holds up

[Split T]

Well if Booker makes this free throw we leave clutch time haha…is that how this works?

Embiid... WTF man?

[Vladimir_Taltos]

You know what absolutely blows my mind...how does Deandre play 30 minutes...and have 0 free throws...not even one...as a statistic that blows my mind...

[Flagrant Fowl]

Yep, I said it in another thread as it related to Shaq's comments about the Suns. Mikal keeping up this offensive momentum will be a massive impact on the Suns title chances.

His post offense has been very encouraging and it's starting to look like a go-to move for him.

[Split T]

Embiid... WTF man?

Incredible steal and turned it right back over…

He plays to avoid contact

[Flagrant Fowl]

Embiid... WTF man?

Incredible steal and turned it right back over…

Started with the unnecessarily absurd step back three point heave.

[The Bobster]

Suns doing what the Suns do.

[wpmiller42]

Surprised no minutes for Bismack in this one against Embiid.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'm glad the Suns only have to play the Sixers twice. Seems like the kind of game where injuries are more likely to happen.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I can't decide who gets away with more travelling on drives to the rim, Embiid or Giannis.
