And also, if Brunson is dribbling into a wall of giants and turning the ball over, will JJB get a shot to run offense before it's too late to help.
Man, this is a big game, nationally televised on ESPN. ESPN is live this morning from Philly because of the Cowboys/Eagles game. They are talking about the Sixers and Embiid, and they have Kevin Hart on the air, pumping the Eagles over the Cowboys. ESPN guys are talking about how Embiid and Simmons have to raise the level of their games, after their loss to the Heat.
So, I expect the Sixers to come out fired up, and the Mavs have to match their intensity and aggressiveness. I say let Embiid shoot from outside if he wants to, as he's not on the same shooting level as Giannis now seems to be. If he settles for outside jumpers, then the Mavs should do reasonably well with rebounding and have a good chance to win the game.
