They're probably going to have the same, you know, amount of legs.

You know, I think that's going to be more indicative of what a playoff matchup between these teams will look like.

You know, so so there's that.

As for Embiid, you know, he couldn't get to his spots tonight.

And that was pretty evident early.

Jared Allen did a really good job of getting him a step away from where he wanted to be.

You know, I think that, you know, Philly, Cleveland did a really good job with their pick and roll coverages and crowding.

and crowding that two-man game between Embiid and Maxey.

And they just didn't let those guys dictate what the offense was going to be.

And I thought that that was really apparent early, and I thought that was a really important moniker to why this game turned into what it turned into.

You know, I think the Sixers have to figure out the spacing around that two-man game, get that thing spaced.

I think that Cleveland, you know, came in and said, okay, we're going to, you know, Dominic Barlow's in the corner.

We're going to let him take all of the corner threes that he wants to.

We're going to crowd Paul George, and we're going to, you know, we know that Vijay Escombe has shot the ball well, but we're going to trust what we think his jumper was

you know, before the season, not what the numbers are, not the 38% now.

So, you know, this was one of the first teams that I think that, you know, since Tyrese and Joel kind of got going, got going, have made both of those guys just see bodies, right?

You know, they've been playing with so much space.

They've been playing so freely.

You know, Cleveland made them see bodies.

You know, I think they did a really good job on Tyrese Maxey.
