Game 13: Sixers @ Nets 11/19 @ 3 pm ET Thread

[Embiid P]

No Simmons and Cam Thomas for this game for the Nets. Batum will play which is nice for our depth. We should win as long as our players play their game.

[Murray_17]

We allow too many 3s and the Nets entire offense is just taking them.

We still should win because they're a play in team at best

[Arsenal]

Another must-win game. No excuse now that their superstar Cam Thomas ain't playin.

Curious to see the rotations now that Batum is back. Will House and Springer still get mins?

[Jailblazers7]

Expecting a big game from Embiid because this team is way too small to guard him.

[DCasey91]

Batum back yay! Like him a lot, Anti Tucker perfect fit for our list. Covington will get plenty of reps throughout the reg season, hopefully he’s still got some gas left in the tank.

[Murray_17]

Hope Nurse still let Springer play 10-15 minutes with Batum back (and Oubre later)

I'm hoping Batum eats more into Morris's minutes than Springer's.

I like that Nurse is clearly giving everyone an opportunity as opposed to what happened in Toronto. (Outside of KJ lol)

But still, Morris got minutes once Batum and Oubre got out. Springer was playing last night but i think he and House got heavy minutes because of Morris getting injured too.

My fear is that Springer gets out of the rotation or plays only 5 minute stretches, once everyone's back.

After the last Boston game, Embiid pretty much demanded publicly that Springer plays more minutes. It wouldn't be smart of Nurse to piss off his best player this early into their relationship IMO. Personally I agree with Embiid here 100%.

When Oubre comes back, it's going to be more of a challenge, even though I expect his minutes to be limited upon his return. I'd like to see Springer take some of Melton's (vs. bigger stronger guards) and possibly RoCo's (vs. smaller and quicker SFs) minutes.

[Mik317]

they have a bunch of long athletes

and should be able to get out and run which we have been struggling with.

[Murray_17]

Well, this start is encouraging

[Embiid P]

How many times is Embiid gonna get his shot blocked this quarter?

[billy bremner]

We are not looking good

I don't understand why a 7'2 player won't just go straight up. It's infuriating

[phillynative]

Where is Maxey is he playing?

[billy bremner]

Its hard watching Pat Bev playmaking

[phillynative]

Claxton mad he's a twig and couldn't move Springer lol

[Mik317]

early games are always ugly rock fests

[Murray_17]

tbf, everyone is getting blocked lol

[phillynative]

Who tf cares if Dhouse picks up 2 fouls in the 2nd quarter. There's no need for Morris to be on the floor.
