I'm unmoved by the threat of a thousand Joel Embiid post ups. Just make him catch it high and don't foul him.
Cs fans are going to get mad when Kanter plays but he was statistically the Cs best post up defender and Philly doesn't run pick and roll very often.
No Horford/Baynes but the Cs can still make use of their excellent team defense on the wings with doubles and dig downs when he posts up.
Trying to think of ways Philly wins this and it only happens if Embiid and Harris play the best basketball of their lives.
Embiid can be the best defender in basketball when he wants but there's not much else there. Its a pretty terrible matchup for them without Ben Simmons.
Cs are playing their best basketball. Their top 4 scorers have really gelled together and its fun to watch how easy it is to create advantage situations and good looks.
