I don't like how this one has started.

Rivers didn't learn any lessons from Monday.

These guys are emboldened after Monday's win.

Rivers doesn't get it, he's already running Tucker and Niang out there, Tucker got 2 fouls in 2 minutes and I'm sure we'll probably see Harrell 1st.

Thybulle and Milton get out there and they push to a 14pt lead. Tucker shouldn't see the floor and Reed better get burn over Harrell.

Harrell comes in, of course, and 1st fucking play he over pursues Wagner and gets beat backdoor, foul called on Niang.

Next possession, Harrell gets beat, dunk for Wagner.

Next possession, Harrell doesn't run in transition, Bil beats him for a follow dunk.

14pt lead is 9 in a 1:30.

Harrell is brutal.

Tucker and Harrell are unplayable vs athletic teams like this. He did great vs slow foot Jokic but he's getting abused by the Magic. Rivers goes with Niang who will also get abused.

Tucker and Niang are a combined 1-5, 3pts, with 7 fouls and only 1 Reb in 25 minutes.

Harrell is -11 in 6 minutes of play. Brutal.

Embiid is +16

Maxey having a rough shooting night, but fortunately they haven't needed his offense tonight.

This is a win, but it was uncomfortable the entire game. Magic missed a ton of wide open shots and the 76ers were sloppy.
