Halftime: 44, Sixers 40. Philly is somehow right in this one on a night where Embiid, harris and Maxey combine to shoot 3-of-22 from the floor. Milton has 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting. Niang with 8 in his hometown. Also helping: Sixers only have 3 turnovers. – 8:32 PM

Danny Green spending this timeout warming his legs up and dribbling the ball. He said the hardest part of being on the minutes restriction (and before last game, not starting) was staying warm in between spurts. He’s about to check back in. – 8:20 PM

We’re into the second quarter, and Ime Udoka has played nine guys: the starters, plus Josh Richardson, Grant Williams, Dennis Schroder and Enes Freedom. Would seem that’s his nine-man rotation, with possibly Langford or Nesmith instead of a third big against smaller opponents. – 8:15 PM

Nothing but jumpers from Embiid so far. C’s defense doing a good job there but I also don’t know what kind of energy he has coming off that long COVID absence. I knew had a big game, but we saw with Jaylen that it can still be tough to recover after that – 8:03 PM

Also, Boston has already gotten some good looks against Embiid in drop coverage. That was something Kemba Walker excelled at in the pullup game, but Tatum and Brown can knock those down too. – 7:48 PM

I’m curious to see how Boston goes at Philadelphia. When Al Horford was on the Celtics the first time, they’d use him to pull Joel Embiid way from the paint. Then it was about working against Embiid in the drop for pull-ups.
I assume Embiid guards Rob Williams and floats/helps. – 7:39 PM
