This should be a fun one tonight, boys. We beat them easily earlier in the season, but Embiid didn't play. Tonight we are healthy and so is Embiid, but the Sixers may be size-challenged with RoCo and Morris Sr. sick and Batum injured. I suspect Harris starts at PF and Oubre joins the starting lineup. I see us going with KAT on Embiid, Rudy on Harris, Jaden on Oubre, Bite Bite on Melton, and Ant on Maxey.
Let's go Wolves!
Wolves/Sixers GDT
Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
By the way, we shouldn't overlook the good fortune of Batum being out. The 76ers are 14-4 when he plays, but only 4-4 when he doesn't. He has an absurdly good net rating of +37. leads the Sixers in plus minus, and has a ridiculous TS% of 74.1% while making 49% of his threes. Not to mention he always seems to hurt us. I've always liked his game, but I don't mind seeing him in street clothes for this one.
Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
This is the front end of a back-to-back. I would love a win tonight, but if I could only have one win in the back-to-back, I would rather beat the Lakers tomorrow night...
But I have no qualms with winning both!

Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
I feel this ultimate test game for KAT. We know Kat hates that ppl think Embid is the better player. With that most of the time it comes with the antics and crap emotions we've seen in the past. I'm praying win or lose we still Zen Kat tonight and I will become a believer that New Kat is here to stay.

Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
I think Jaden will be on Maxey. I want to win this badly, but given the choice I'd also take the one tomorrow over the Lakers
Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
Yep. Like you, if I have to choose I’ll take a win over the Lakers. But I’d love to win both. On paper, we should win tonight. The Sixers have the best player in Embiid, but our top four (Ant, KAT, Jaden, Rudy) are collectively much better than their top four (Embiid, Maxey, Harris, ?) in my view. Of course, it’s tough to win on the road and the Sixers are clearly a very good team. So we’ll see.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 2:46 pm I think Jaden will be on Maxey.

Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
The line has steadily crept up during the day...started out Philly-2 1/2 and is now up to 4 1/2. A lot of action on Philly it seems. The latest move might be because Morris Sr. is now off the injured list. Anyway, this will be a tough one, but a really nice win if we can pull it off.

Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
Embid gonna shot 20+ free throws tonight can already tell
Re: Wolves/Sixers GDT
Stuck watching the Sixers due to local blackouts and I’m convinced the one announcer thinks KATs name is Anthony Towns, no Karl.
