Harden payed off again last night. Maxey is able to play with a lot more freedom and if Embiid is having an off night he can also give you 25.

Embiid was getting frustrated with the 3 bigs the Cavs were throwing at him and the meh passing when he was getting open opportunities. He was pretty dirty with Harris at one point for not giving him the ball when he fought for position

Didn't watch last night but I figured it would be a hard-er fought win.....I said 3-1 during these 4 games.......I think they lose tonight.  Playing the number 1 seed, on the road on a back to back is a lot to ask for.  That being said....watch the Sixers win by 20 lol

They had to fight back from being down by 21 and didn't take the lead until the early 4th quarter..... It wasn't exactly an easy win

Yes, and I'm sure that took a lot out of them so that gives me a feeling of they might have a let down tonight. We shall see though, definitely one of their toughest games they have had

There’s also the possibility in a back to back where they travel that not everyone plays. You’d think with so few games they would but there always exist the possibility that someone sits.

I wouldn't mind seeing how they perform against a tough opponent with Embiid sitting. Now that there is someone there that can pick up the scoring for him. 

Harden out tonight

I think I would of preferred them sit Harden yesterday and see what they look like against a top team on the road. Oh well

I was thinking he would have sat last night.  Preferred to see how we look against a top team with our full squad.

The issue is Miami has Lowry out for this game. Butler is a game time decision with his injury. not be facing a Miami team that’s their full squad either.

The heat have Lowry out and butler is questionable. I’m guessing they rather play harden at home then give him 2 days off before playing again at home vs. bulls rather then just 1 day in between Miami on the road and then at home vs. bulls

Ah ok that makes sense. Bulls are equally going to be a challenging game. 

Butler is warming up.

seems to be a smart move by Miami. They have a small lead on us. This is an opportunity to extend that lead. 

I had this as a loss...so rest Harden.  I'd honestly be ok with resting Embid too......

I thought for sure this would be an Embiid rest day not Harden.

It would be brutal for Miami if they got the one seed and somehow Kyrie Irving was eligible to play in Brooklyn, Durant was healthy and somehow Ben Simmons finally plays and they are the 8 seed. Not that they aren’t beatable. That’s a really hard first round matchup for a 1 seed if that happens. The 7 seed might be Toronto which isn’t a cakewalk either. The 3 seed against Cleveland (currently) doesn’t look bad considering cleveland is inexperienced  

This could get ugly fast

Why is Kork in? Joe please. 

Green missed that 3 by 6 feet. 

No effort

Park Embiid on the bench and take the L since it's going to happen anyway.
