  1. Rotation plans…

    Start the game with Embiid, Reed, Oubre, Maxey & Lowry

    When theirs 6 minutes left in the first sub in Tobias and sub out Reed…

    When Embiid sits which should be when the 2nd quarter starts they should sub back in Reed to play the 5 then also bring in Ricky Council.

    Then they can go from there when Embiid comes back in with about 6-8 minutes left in the 2nd.

    This way the 76ers will always have some rebounding out there.

  2. You mean we have to hint to Nurse to play Embiid-Reed together…That’s why he’s got twenty assistant coaches sitting behind him… to hint,recommend or ask..

  3. At this point, for anyone that claims "but how are you going to replace everything Tobias does?", it is not very difficult to replace an aging, skill declining, net-negative player who no longer hits 3s with any type of regularity, who no longer is money inside, and who now is making defensive rotation mistakes at inopportune times.

  4. Please roll about that double big lineup so the spacing can decrease and now you’re putting a less capable wing defender on the floor! The Knicks would love this move lmao

  5. I love Nick Nurse and I trust him but I will be disappointed if we don't see the double big this series.

  6. Paul Reed will just make it easier to guard Embid…sixers need a stretch 4…someone like Al Horford?😅

  7. My idea is put Reed and Embiid together when we struggling with rebounds not from the begining. Why?
    1. Reed can have foul problems early
    2. Batum is important and you cant play Reed, Embiid and Batum together
    3. With Reed would Embiid stay to often on the 3 point line and i with his injury iam not confident in his shot from downtown
    4. Transition defense with fast players like Brunson, Hart, Mcbride could be a problem
    5. Who can replaced Embiid?
    Batum? Bamba? Hell no 😅😅

  8. I love us Sixers fans for trying to game plan for the Sixers 😂. Just go out there and play for 48 mins

  9. Im sure Paul Reed lacks some fundamental basketball awareness. He is uber takented and im glad the sixers invested in him.

    Howeever that said, I don't know if Paul Reed and Embiid on the floor at the same time is the answer. It creates some spacing issues.

    I do know what one answer is is to definitely play batum ahead of Harris for sure. Batum at least shows aggression (especially on defense) and Batum is not made so unfortunately by comtact like Toby is.

    If Joel is physically able to play a little bully ball and get Mitchell Robinson and foul trouble He can have his way with harkenstein. If he's not able to physically do it in his condition, just shut him down i guess.

    At least if they shut him down they can get him working out the entire summer. Maybe go for convincing him to get his weight down to about 260 and see if his frame at 260 can candle the load his body endures. Its send because his heart's in it but it's obvious at this point that his body can't handle the weight that he carries. It's a huge guy and this might not even be possible but seems to be the only logical approach at this point.

  10. Paul Reed and starting to playing with Dowtin Jr and Martin helping Reed get more rebounding and limited second chances opportunity to closeout on big plays

  11. I’m all for this

    … but our problem wasn’t rebounding really it was the non- Embiid mins. That can’t fix this. We really need Hield to just shoot the ball so our bench lineup can be effective
