Game 39: Nuggets @ Sixers 1/16 @ 7:30 pm ET TNT Thread

Jokic listed as questionable with a hip strain. If he doesn't play this should be an easy win but if he does play, it should be a good one. Obviously Joel will be motivated.

If Jokic doesn’t play, should we expect Sixer fans to be frothing at the mouth about him ducking Embiid?

This is a game where we need Reed playing PF with Embiid at C. Reed on Jokic, Tobi on Porter, Embiid on Gordon, but mostly protecting the paint. Get killed by Gordon (30% 3FG) getting randomly hot from deep.

Otherwise, we’ll have Joel letting everyone else cook in the paint from Jokic passes. It’s why we had Tucker on him last year.

Unfortunately Bamba is out tonight, so we can’t do that.

National Tv game with some juice behind it?

It looks like Tobias is starting on Jokic.

Denver’s others are super consistent

Denver just has a great team. Perfectly put together pieces and Jokic to lead the way.

Yeah, Maxey is getting killed on screens.

Also, you don't need to react to a Gordon pump fake from the 3-point line, let him shoot.

Embiid need help in the paint.

Morris is cutting a lot right now

They don’t miss

Feels like they shoot 100% from 3 lol

The first team to get a stop wins (?)

Getting murked on the boards

You need to stop these Gordon drives, he's gonna fail but Jokic gets free to catch the offensive board.

Just sag off Gordon and let him take 3s.

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #18 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Wed Jan 17, 2024 1:19 am

We're getting murdered on the boards as usual. Their reserves don't miss. I don't think we can keep up with them if this continues.

SVG hates Embiid. Refs you suck...That is all.

If there was ever a game to try Reed next to Embiid, it's this one.
