[Gennosuke]

Late in the 1st quarter and no shot attempts by either Maxey or Melton as Sixers down by 8.

[BelmontShore]

I'm so tired of Harris and Tucker. They are not athletic enough to play vs a team like the Raptors. They can't defend, they can't get a clean shot. Embiid gave Tucker a perfect baseline pass, Tucker didn't even look at the rim, he just dribbled out and they missed a Harris 3. Neither one of them can defend their man.

You have got to match athleticism. Oubre needs to play 40m vs this team. Melton was hot garbage vs the Bucks, he's picked up where he left off.

[BelmontShore]

Nurse had better recognize this fast.

[BelmontShore]

Oubre comes in and immediately has a positive impact.

[BelmontShore]

Excuse me. Danny Green is a shot fighter.

[Gennosuke]

Embiid with the big 1st quarter (14 pts), but the starting guards only contributed 2 pts. Sixers down by 9 after 1.

[BelmontShore]

The athletic players come in? Tie game.

I'd get Beverly off the floor for Springer.

[BelmontShore]

Harris and Tucker come back in and the Raptors explode.

They. Are. Unplayable.

Embiid's head is spinning with dribble drivers coming from every direction and he gets no weak side help, he gets no help rebounding.

[Gennosuke]

Maxey with a 15pt outburst in the 2nd quarter. Melton having another bad game, though. 76ers down by 3 at the half.
