Sounds like it to me.

It’s a GDT so it doesn’t count.

yeah, don't say that in the regular sixer thread.

You’re fixation on + - is misguided as a lot of it is variance in a small sample but it’s almost been eerie how bad the backup C 1H + - has been recently. It’s become a bit

It’s not so much of a fixation rather than just simply stating facts. If the team has scored 5 more points with you on the floor, it doesn’t mean you have been good, but you have made the entire team better.

Monroe comes in let's a guy blow by him then hands the ball to Kawhi. All that tells you is he sucks and doesn't reflect on anyone else's play on the court.

Plus minus illustrates how much better Embiid is than Monroe but everyone else on the court has a better backup than Monroe is.

If TJ came in it would throw it off for others.

Fair enough. If Monroe was as good as another backup, we may be up 8. But that’s not Embiids fault which is all I am saying.

Embiid gonna need to play 22 with Scott getting the other 2

You have correlation causation issues but not going spend the time on this in a game 7

Well, Embiid handed the ball off to him as well.

Go Sixers

Being down 4 is a victory

Right I don't think there is any doubt the biggest gap on this team is between Embiid and his backup. One of the reasons I really wanted Kanter.

That’s fine, but holy cow I have that issue? 22 minutes he is on the floor, team is +5. 2 minutes he isn’t, team is -9. I am not saying it’s all Embiid, I am saying he a) hasn’t been a huge problem as they clearly could be up more, but Monroe/Simmons not playing center is.

Switching to dabs for second half, feel free to pin this as our turning point post game

Lineups without a center have been pretty bad too. Simmons doesn’t know how to play center. It’s more than just being tall.

I’m Expecting monster JoJo in the 2nd half

dabs

i'm grabbing some cold presidentes from the fridge for a real second half.

Needs third quarter blitz. By the Sixers to be clear

AMIR PLZ

Toronto has no shot blocker without Ibaka in the game. When he’s not Jo needs to be in the post, period.

Easy basket for Leonard there

starting the same way
