But this outright refusal to tether Gasol with Embiid is infuriating. There is no reason for it. None.
Gasol played 35 minutes last night to Embiid’s 32. Just need a small tweak or 2 Nurse said after game 1 he feels serge needs some time to gain momentum rather than quick shifts and the raps were up big which was why he didn’t match them up in game 1. Pretty clear now if we sub out gasol as soon as Embiid exits the game that will be a good way to tackle it. Embiid prob won’t be able to play over 40 minutes this series so should be able to match it up well. Even despite rotations if the raptors shot the ball well that was an easy win. But can’t handle the rotations AND poor shooting in the same game.

gasol - 38
siakam - 40
Kawhi - 40
Green - 36
Lowry - 40
Ibaka - 10
Powell - 14
McCaw- 12
fred - 8
now, I know we wont see it. Ibaka and fred have too long of a leash with this coach. Just my thoughts. The 76ers are not an ideal matchup for either one of those 2 men. In a perfect world OG could take some minutes

Yeah, something like this as a starting framework. McCaw should get a crack at FVV's minutes. Basic concepts are: (1) tether Gasol to Embiid, (2) keep a minimum of 3 starters on the floor at all times - preferably 4 & (3) Kawhi & Siakam play with FVV as bailout scoring options. (4) Ibaka takes the backup PF spot, instead of Kawhi to give Siakam a brief rest.
actually against this team I'd argue hes back to being better suited as a power forward than he is as a center. wish we had moose and they didn't right now..9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I like the idea of giving Ibaka some minutes at the 4 to keep him happy and engaged.

Fred should play only the roughly 10 minutes Lowry sits imo.To be the champs you got to beat the champs

Agreed. He needs to be our scorer "off the bench". Tether Marc to Embiid, but tether Lowry to Ibaka.Last edited by nubreed000; Tue Apr 30, 2019, 03:43 PM.

Most of us agree now. I think Fred to me has lost some minutes for the next game, unless Nurse is that infatuated with his intagiblezz that I frankly haven't seen much of lately, even going back to the Orlando series Fred has been a passenger
I'd rather have Fred over McCaw. McCaw has no offense.. at least Fred can shoot (and did in Orlando). But he needs to stay away from Serge. If Serge is playing.. you have to have him play with Lowry at all times. Fred can play with Marc. Marc/Fred have pretty decent chemistry from what I saw in the regular season.

The only positive I see from Fred is that he's probably our best JJ chaser. Even Danny sometimes struggles to get around screens, etc as JJ is running around. Fred's pretty good at staying close to his man. I think Nurse likes that.. and Danny can't play 48 minutes.

If Ibaka plays he needs to play with Lowry more.
