Coach Nick got a bit too cute by half there but you can see how he wanted to let the bench ride that one out.
Any win is a win on the march to 2nd.
Which brings us to our next foe.
The 76ers.
Before we meet them all, let's meet their head of the snake
Let's say one side is Joel and one side is Ben
Both pretty accomplished on their own
But put them together and the result is not so impressive.
To continue on a theme,
we're more like this
Gasol 6/7 (Wiz) FVV 7/8 (Wolves) Norm 6/9 (Hawks)
(from 3)
We're good with taking turns. Who's going to be next?
As for the game, it's the toughest matchup we've had in a bit.
As noted, Philly tends to play better with only one of their big 2 on the floor.
That's the case for this game with Embiid on the shelf
Which is too bad because I was all set up to use some JoJo Rabbit memes (it's probably for the best)
So who will we face? Well, the Sixers and I have some history (see Mothers Day 2019)
So I'll have to come up with some new ones. Here goes..
PG
SG
SF
(this is a deep Friends dive. Kudos to whoever get's it)
PF
C
I could be as creative as I want to end this off. But, from now til the end of time..
When you discuss the Raps and Philly...
You can ask anyone and only one thing will come up
Or you can ask google and strangely something else comes up
But here's the one that matters
Go Raps
