Sixers with a big win.
Horford played really well. Confusing because he looked so much more comfortable in the 5 spot tonight but all offseason said one of the main reasons he left the C’s and was excited to play with the Sixers is he wouldn’t have to play the 5 spot.
Gonna be interesting to watch this team without Joel for the next couple of weeks.
Great 2nd half by the Sixers.
I think Hereford has had a tough time finding his role on this team, in large part due to JoJo. Embiid is pretty inconsistent in the half-court offense. Sometimes he sets up in the block, and somewhat expects to at least touch the ball during the set. Far too often, he holds the ball too long when he receives it, and the rest of the team, excluding whomever is opposite him out high, gets out of sync, and doesn't move too much. Other times down the court, JoJo sets up high, and if a defender doesn't play him, he launches a 3-point shot. When you add in Ben often playing down low after he gives up the ball, where is the PF supposed to go in the half-count set?
Perhaps while JoJo is out, they can work out some of the issues with their half-court offense.
