Ben is 5-20 on FT's this series This is why I laughed at you folks when you all told me you could sink 3 in a row with ease I regularly go 18-20. Granted, there is literally 0 pressure, but free throws are not hard. I was a Knights of Columbus free throw champion 20 years ago. Maybe Ben should spend less like chasing Kardashians and more time practicing basketball. |

I got to be honest with you folks - I find this 'Hack-A-Player' nonsense rather Bush League and cowardly I do  |

A true 25% free throw shooter shooting a pair 16 times Is expected to
Make both 1 time
Miss both 9 times
Make one 6 times
Hack until he proves he isn't one. You're talking 1/2 point per possession. It's worth the extra fouls and beneficial to be over the limit.
That said, Sixers won't even be tested until the Eastern final.

Embiid and A.D. always competing for the injury title. Westbrook 19 points on 3-19 shooting with 21 boards and 14 assisfs. How in God's Name does a PG get 21 rebounds?
Against a playoff team no less....
That is baffling to me....
Do his teammates still give him every rebound they possibly can? |

Jo-Jo listed as doubtful for tonight's game Would love to see Doc roll with Ben at the '5' (Lopez/Len doesn't scare me) and surround him with - Tobias Danny Seth Tyrese running with him George Hill first off the bench then 'Tisse, Furk and Shake who's been in a funk Roll with small ball and run If Jo-Jo doesn't play we'll get an abundance of Mike Scott bricking 3s and dribbling the ball off his ankles all night spotting Howard getting 5 offensive fouls and at least 1 tech Use Dwight to back Ben up But maybe we'll get the 2020 version of Soft Tobie again and we'll need help down low and need to an abundance of Dwight/Scott. Dwight's fine just backing up Embiid - but when Jo-Jo is out - it's kind of ugly.
I've said it before - the fact that Mike Scott is still on this team and is now in a position to see extended rotational minutes in the playoffs because of a potential Joel injury is Morey's one failure this year.

Per Woj and Shams -
Jo-Jo has a meniscus tear in his knee
Out tonight
These can be tricky devils - sometimes a player can play through them until the end of the season depending on the tear
In other situations - like Jahlil Okafor - they're shut down for the season
Interesting Interesting indeed
Jo-Jo will never be 100% until he has surgery in the offseason and then rehabs - he has to play hurt in the meantime and manage it with therapy - per WOJ and Shams it's 'Day to Day' - and it will be until he can have surgery to repair it

Davis Bertans has been shut down for the season for the Wiz
Tough break - he was having a rough series but he typically murders us

Game 5, no Embid, slight meniscus tear, what exactly does that mean?
With no Embid Washington is taking it to the rim. Wizards ahead, still a close game.

Won't fully heal until he gets surgery
Washington was doing whatever they wanted in the paint/driving to the rim at will - they put Dwight in
We're getting '2020 Soft Tobie' again - not going up strong

Typically big men have more knee problems and are more cautious about them. I am certainly hoping he plays in the playoffs, if only so 76ers can't say "We would've won with Embiid", but I don't think he will . Embiid is questionable about every other game as it is, without this type of injury. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but this is not looking good.
