I thought the refs welcomed Embiid back with allowing a lot of bully ball, push offs and initiating contact.
Losing Gaff late in the game really hurt in the closing minutes. Didn't do much to stop Embiid, but seemed to affect the others.
Damn, Maxey is FAST! I can see why they love him in Philly.
I kind of like this Christie kid. Played with a ton of energy and confidence. Didn't seem afraid to take the shot, and usually made it. Of course, this is only one game.
I don't know if it was just the patchwork lineup, but there seemed to be better/more ball movement. I don't wonder if this is part of moving off LD. Cut back on a super-high usage player and share the touches around the squad more.
Going to miss watching Luka's play, but he's been away so long the post-trade lineups weren't as jarring as I thought they would be.
