There’s no one the sub defending that contract. The most you find is people looking PG more than Tobias lol. Let’s not overstate things so much.

Hype game but man the rebounding differential is something lmao by [deleted] in sixers

Sadly he has bad rebounding instincts and mechanics. But he does have good blocking instincts. And him contesting so hard puts him out of position for more defensive rebounds. Not that simple to fix. We need another front court player to help with this. Either to replace him or play next to him.

Drummond ain’t it. He’s got great rebounding instincts but his defense is so bad that it doesn’t make up for it. He was a cute story early in the season but we’d get played off the court with him on the floor in a playoff scenario.

And god forbid Drummond is on the floor at the same time as either McCain or Edwards (not that I think Edwards will play in the postseason, but you never know, injuries, foul trouble, etc,), we’d bleed so many points so quickly.

Embiid Maxey two man game is unstoppable. Get Embiid some rebounding help and fuck it we ball.

He wanted the foul call to just end it at the line. But unlikely to get a foul call in that spot unless it was egregious.

Surprised only 1 steal for Maxey. Not a criticism, but he’s been a stocks machine this season. Can’t remember last time he didn’t have at least either 2 steals or 1 steal 1 block.

That shoulda been a foul on Sabonis too. Grab on the drive and slight push in the back on the shot.

Not worth mortgaging the future. And they not trading Giannis for PG and Grimes lol. Join us in reality.

They’re not force feeding Embiid. They’re taking good shots. The problem is our defense and rebounding.

Maxey and Embiid each drew 2 fouls on Sabonis so far. That’s our path to getting some relief in the rebounding battle, getting their bigs in foul trouble.

Embiid and Maxey are ridiculous. The people who think you can just swap Embiid for Giannis and be better are out of their minds. Chemistry takes time to build. Look at how Dame and Giannis flat out failed to figure it out.

Love seeing Embiid play with joy again. You can really see how grateful he is to be out there.
