Game 23: Sixers @ Pistons 12/13 @ 7 pm ET Thread

[Embiid P]

I watch these games to look at other players I don't normally get to see. Bojan stands out big time for Detroit. They're just wasting that guy there. They should trade him to a winning team.

Jaden Ivey is like a wild horse. Once he settles down he's going to be a big time scorer in this league.

Glad we got to see Springer and Martin tonight. Both can contribute on winning teams. Both should remain in Philly.

I know some here are clamoring for Bojan to the Sixers and he'd be a decent fit on our roster but his age (will be 35 come playoff time) scares me especially in a 7 game series vs. the Celtics whose wings would run circles around him on both sides of the ball. I mean he could be valuable as a 4th or 5th option but expecting him to carry us past Boston, Milwaukee or Miami is highly unrealistic. We need to be getting younger and faster not older and slower IMO.

I agree, I like him, I root for him, but he's not it for us. I just think Detroit should trade him. Coincidentally he'd be great in Boston or Milwaukee.

[Bum Adebayo]

We can't stop winning with Neo Oubre playing again, shows how important he is for us.

Hopefully this taught them a lesson. Take these **** teams seriously, don't **** off, and you don't have to play the 4th quarter. That's what the Giannis/Bud Bucks used to do.

It's probably the best way to manage these guys minutes too, because Nurse DNGAF about that

I'm sure they'll be right back to **** off Friday tho

Embiid hasn’t played in the 4th quarter of 7 of 20 games this year, including the last two, hopefully they keep it up.

Good stat.

I feel like they usually just blast these teams in the 3rd. It was good to see some effort from the start. I hate when they just let teams hang around.

Of course, since Jo basically plays the entire 1st and 3rd, he still ends up playing quite a bit in these ones regardless.

Yeah, but that has been his typical shift for a while. I don't see those minutes as hugely impactful. Also, Jo has gotten much better at throttling up/down effort versus these kind of teams. That's why it seems like the opposition just get decapitated in the 3rd.

Yeah, I'm just saying, even when he doesn't play the 4th, he's still racking up mileage because of that. Just an observation.

I just tuned into to watch the end of the bench guys. Jaden is on the ball , than cov decides to bring the ball up and automatically get stripped.

Jaden should be bringing the ball up every possession with who's out there on the floor. No excuse.
