PhilaPhans

76ers(12-11) @ Hornets(14-11) Preview

76ers' Starting Five:
Green SF
Niang PF
Embiid C
Curry SG
Milton PG (Maxey: Out - Non-Covid Illness)

Hornets' Starting Five:
Oubre Jr SF
Bridges PF
Richards C
Hayward SG
Martin PG (Smith: Out - H&SP)

Ish Smith, who was going to be Hornets' starting PG tonight in place of Lamelo, is now out for the game due to safety protocols.

So now Charlotte will be down 5 players for at least one of their two games with the Sixers.

Even missing four players, the Hornets stunned the Hawks in Atlanta last night (Ish scored 18 with 7 assists).

In lieu of all their missing players, Charlotte will probably be launching a lot of 3-pointers. A key for the Sixers will be containing Miles Bridges, who went off for 32 pts last night. Oubre has also been playing well lastly and had 28 with 6 3-pointers against the Hawks.

Very winnable game for Philly but they must defend against the 3-ball.

Getting really tired of this team....despite Hornets being down a bunch of players, they are still kicking the shit out of the Sixers....this is a soft team that is not fun to watch

As per usual, Sixers have a terrible end of a quarter, being out score 12-2 over the last 2:40

Just like the Flyers, time for a coaching change....tired of River's offensive sets and rotations

Sixers down by 11 after the 1st quarter. Getting outrebounded 13 - 7. Need to step it up defensively.

Here comes the refs....horrific call on Drummond, that is not a fucking foul

Come on kid, nice steal, but zero reason to try and be fancy and give the ball right back

Joe with 2 consecutive turnovers after making a couple of 3 pointers.
