Well, only thing to be concerned about now is whether Scottie will be able to get some training in during the off-season. Hopefully his injury isn’t too severe to keep him out for months. Otherwise yeah, Philly is on a mission and the refs seem content to let them run roughshod over us.

They need a proper anchor in the post, all these athletic long guys are fantastic to have out there, but you gotta have one guy who can lock it down under the basket, right now Joel is putting in work on us. It’s still a big’s league. Giannis Embiid Joker even AD when healthy.
Gotta think they look at Ayton or Gobert in the off-season if either comes up.

Gasol on Embiid was great in 2019, this time we don't have anyone to match up against him.

That’s what I’m saying. It’s great having 5-6 guys that are 6’8” and long but one of them along with some other stuff needs to be converted into a guy who can do the heavy lifting down low and not get abused.

To be fair, we all thought the same thing in 2016 against Cleveland in the ECF but they came back home and tied the series against LBJ.

I dunno man, we're severely lacking a floor general like Kyle Lowry. Siakam keeps deferring while FVV is ice cold. Kyle was the guy who went balls out every time for better or for worse, at the very least you knew he was never playing scared.

Does Philly even play Basketball or just dribble yell for a foul and right to the free throw line? Such garbage ball to watch.

The Raptors whole plan is to mob Embiid when he touches the ball...massive fouls are going to ensue if that's your strategy against him.

Then people wonder why Embiid scores so much from the FT line...it's cuz he can't be stopped without being fouled.

I'll be surprised if they don't win at least 1 game at home. This is still a good team.
 
well, our "championship dna" guys showed us just what they are capable of in a game we needed to at least put up a fight. these guys just dont have it i guess. im embarrased for being so positive before lol.

siakam and FVV are 13 - 39 combined LOL
