So what are the odds we see the Embiid trifecta?
1. Injures a player
2. Gets injured
3. Cries

Imagine if we win again by 25 points?

Eager to see what adjustments the team makes.

OG has been fantastic as the 2nd (or in some cases 1st) scoring option this post season, but I'm not comfortable relying on that each game. I want to see KAT have a dominant performance, which of course means we need to start with more discipline on defense and avoid those quick fouls. Expect Embiid to get the unfair whistle while he's on the court, but don't compound the issue.

Cap the last few postseasons has had a slow start, but he's obviously out of that adjustment period and back to his Superstar form. The Burner is lit, and about to cause more nightmares in Philly. VJ going to learn a few lessons this series.

I don't know why but I feel like this will be a statement game.

Can they continue to play at the highest level. They are finally matching the all out intensity of what OKC did in the regular season.

It's been impressive and can they keep it up. For me, tonight will be a big tell.

This game is going to be extremely telling. If Knicks wipe the floor with them again, we may see a sweep.

OK!!! They have conceded game 2 to focus on the home court games.

Embiitch is the modern day Alonzo Mourning and we knew he'd quit and sit out some games.

Fast-forward 2 weeks:

"That sweep means nothing - if Embiid was healthy, Sixers would have smoked NY!"

I'd honestly much rather play them with Embiid for a few reasons...the Sixers speed and game pace will be very different, concerned it may unlock Maxey and Edgecombe playing frenetic style, we are prepared for them to counter from game 1 and now we may have to shift our game plan.

Most important - I wanted Embiid to suffer as we punished him

George, Edgecomb, Maxet, and Grimes will have to maximize their abilities and get help from Harlow and Edwards. While Mitch and Kat can dominate inside setting up our shooters. Philly could win but NY has even a better chance to dominate without Embid even more with him on the floor.
