So did Horford. Good win.
This is why I wasn't mad when we brought Horford in during the offseason. This is the exact kind of game we would have struggled with and maybe lost last year without Embiid being on the floor.
And the 6ers are some tall bastards for real. :lol:A Clippers/6ers final would be a great defensive battle.

No question we would have lost this game last year.

I never did see how D'Angelo Russell fit in to their team

D-Lo ain't the problem. At least not right now.
GS is falling apart because Steph's whole game over the last few years has been centered on movement and getting open for instant buckets. But without Klay and KD, every defender is looking at Steph at all times. You can see on multiple plays where all five defenders are watching Steph's every move.

Steph can't play 82 games at this pace. If they're still losing like this by Thanksgiving, they minus whale shut him down before he gets injuried again.

I was told Steph opens opportunities for others with his range, if they crowding him somebody gotta be open. Seems Steph needs others around him to give him spacing as well.
 
I always thought he was more about getting something for KD. He’s better than getting nothing at all. He seemed more like trade bait to me.

Yeah, but he's making too much. His salary isn't that great.

He’s a player that can shoot the 3 and get his own shot, with KD gone that’s exactly what they needed.

No it's not. They need a three who can play off the ball. Not a combo. And they also need a unselfish player who, can play defense and shoot at a high percentage. He's none of that.

Steph’s the only playmaker and he’s not that aggressive, they need someone who can get buckets and pass. I agree with everything else you said.
