Apparently Embiid isn't even playing since he sits out back-to-backs and they played last night, so this game got even easier.

The Process, because they have next to no talent, will do what talentless teams do.... they will play their assess off for the whole game on defense. They will run around like madmen trying to trap or steal the ball and if they miss on the double team traps and steals they will try to block everything that goes up. They will try to play a fast paced transition type game because thats the only chance they have to win.
The Raps are going to have to play a patient professional game and when they do they will in all likelihood exploit the Sixers mercilessly when they overcommit and get caught out of position on defense. Looking for Kyle to carve up The Philly Processes using the PnR and for DD to continue to take what the game gives him. JV should have a good game on the offensive end as Jahil Okafor knows there are seven letters in defense but doesn't know anything more than that on how to play it.
And Gerald Henderson will win the Gerald Henderson award tonight ..Last edited by Demographic Shift; Mon Nov 28, 2016, 03:55 PM. Reason: Edit : Predicting the Gerald Henderson award winner for tonightThere's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

If they win by a couple then they will be berated for playing down to their opponents and they're not really that good a squad. Kinda heads I win.. tails you lose.

If he went to Oklahoma State I might have said that he might not be able to spell defense if you spotted him 6 letters.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

If Kyle and CoJo run the PnR with JV more than once he should have a big night against the former Dukie.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
