I'll use this as the general discussion thread. Good win with only Butler really producing offensively. The defense was great and they stole a win in Toronto with a very weakened Embiid. I feel they need to win both in Philly to have a chance to take this series. Butler was a real stud. Brand looks smart at this point with the contributions of Ennis and even Monroe last night.

They can be a very good team when they bring their game but it sure seems they, or at least some, don't bring it every night. Embiid certainly can dominate but he needs time off in order to do so IMM. Butler and Simmons also have such talent that they can change the game but they just don't seem to do it every night.
Who knows maybe it is just me. I think they can win the series but they won't cakewalk so I hope they want it enough. Hopefully Embiid is well rested after these days offWait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy

Leonard is tough when he is on and Butler sure can man up when he gets after it. Tough home loss. You would think the Sixers would have a better feel for their home rims but they sure shot like crap yesterday. Gonna make it hard on themselves but they can play with anyone so let's see this next win and see what happens.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy

Butler - gone
Redick - gone
Harris - signed
Horford - signed
Josh Richardson - acquired in sign & trade with Miami for Butler
Scott - signed
I'm warming to this overall approach. Butler apparently didn't work well with Simmons and wants to be the focus of an offense. While Horford is old, I'm hoping years 1 & 2 of his 4 year deal payoff. The biggest consequence is getting a competent guy to help with Embiid and also take away perhaps the one guy who defends Embiid the best.
