Maxey picked up 3 fouls in the 1st quarter, but Sixers off to a much better start in this game than the last.

Springer having a nice 2nd quarter.

Maxey needs to shoot more 3balls. Only 4 attempts through 3 quarters. This team really needs his 3pt scoring without Embiid.

Mavs have 35 3pt attempts to the Sixers' 24. This can't happen. Sixers have got to shoot more 3balls to compensate for the absence of Embiid's scoring.

Nurse really should play Terq because this team needs a volume 3pt shooter besides Tyrese.

Oubre is a willing 3pt shooter, but he's just too streaky and mostly in a bad way.

Nurse's reluctance to play the younger players more through this stretch is disappointing. He was more willing in Toronto. Thought we'd be getting that.

The athleticism would be most welcome, it would help them get comfortable more quickly.
