GAME 28: DAL (19-9) @ PHI (20-10) | 117-98 win (Mavs 11-2 on the road)

Absolutely terrible finish to the half

[SleepingHero]

Of course Embiid hits 2 back to back 3's to end the half.

[mtrot]

So are they just going to continue ignoring KP being bodied by Embiid every time he’s in the paint?

Yes, apparently.  Rick is supposed to get a tech to protect KP, but he won't do it.

Embiid hits 2 back to back 3's

Nice thing about Philly is they won't bury you with threes, Mavs match up decent with them.  If Powell is not shooting and Wright runs the offense, we good.

[mtrot]

All they talk about on ESPN halftime show is from the the Sixers' perspective.

Was literally just thinking about that. All the highlights have been Embiid.

---

Can Delon Wright come in for Brunson already?

---

How can Ben Simmons just run over Brunson like that??

---

THJ giveth, and THJ taketh away.


He literally cannot put it in the basket now.

---

And then Brunson with his classing shit drive wasting a possession.

---

BUT KLEBER WITH THE HARD DRIVE AND-1!

[Dirk Diggler]

I wish Brunson would realize he should be the LAST option when he’s in the paint. Find KP or someone on the wing when you’re looping around dude. If there’s nothing, THEN go for the shot. He’s acting like he’s JJ when he can’t finish nearly as well.

[Hypermav]

acting like he’s JJ

Speaking of JJB or JJ, where are they?

---

Looks like Bro got JJ's time.

[SleepingHero]

Kleber and Porzingis are rebounding up a storm!

---

And KP with the dunk!

Yeah I’d rather him take open 3s than our shorties trying to hit layups with Philly’s length

[SleepingHero]

DFS offensive rebound!

Such an impactful skill.

[mtrot]

JJB needs some burn now, just to mix things up on Philly's defense.

[SleepingHero]

Ok Brunson that was a great drive.

[mtrot]

Brunson completely ignored Seth and bricks the short jumper.

[SleepingHero]

Seth is such a lethal shooter.

[Dirk Diggler]

I always love Seth’s confidence. He can take any shot he wants in my book.

[mtrot]

Does  Brunson not know Seth's 3 point percentage?

[Dirk Diggler]

We need to SLOW down. We are rushing every shot and not swinging the ball to the open man.

[Hypermav]

Embiid could really give KP some foul issues if they feed him.  Rather Kleber do the best he can...

[SleepingHero]

Much much much better finish to the quarter.
