Suns @ 76ers Wednesday game thread 4-21-2021

[Muggz]

They are afraid to play us. Want to save their energy for the Bucks. That's a little tongue in cheek. But only sorta.

If you are the Bucks and you face the Suns and Bucks back to back, you are probably not really confident you are going to win both games. Worst thing to do is beat yourself up against the Suns and then lose to the Bucks too. Might be better to take the loss against the Suns, let your players heal another day, and then go for the win against the Bucks--a conference opponent.

Thinkin out loud here.

Ill take any gift they're willing to give us. Still would've liked to see DA and Embid head to head. Da needs those kind of matchups for development.

While every game counts, the Milwaukee game is bigger for them.

 

[Mainstreet]

As expected, Saric is available.

Kinda bummed but not gonna dwell on it. We need wins, if this helps then so be it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Seth Curry is also OUT. Here are the starters.

I'm hoping Saric plays well tonight. Suns really need him to round into form.

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

76ers out to quick 5-0 lead. Ayton to the free throw line.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder blocked on 3, recovers and hits it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton and Booker already have 1 foul each.

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Cold as ice so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns down 15-7. Embiid with 9 of 76ers points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges is making 76ers pay with corner threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with the three!

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

76ers 29 - Suns 28

 

[AzStevenCal]

I've been officiating the game from my recliner, Embiid has now fouled out three times. We should have brought our own refs.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Payne isn’t playing well and the second squad seems to be overpassing

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Holy not even close saric!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Needed that bounce

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Hopefully that gets saric going

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric finishes a drive plus gets the free throw.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Really ugly basketball right now

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Maxey carries the ball every time he has it.
