On tonight’s episode of The Gastroenteritis Blues, the vibes are good as the Sixers have won six in a row thanks to the continued top-shelf play of one Joel Hans Embiid. Steve, Emily, and Dan break.
Once more into the Breach By Allan m on Mar 13, 2021, 7:22pm EST 3
So once more into the breach - into the east where we are 8-2 in our last 10, but where the Nets are 9-1 over the same stretch, the Bucks are 7-3, and even the Heat with a lesser record due largely to their own injuries earlier in the season are also 9-1 over the last ten to move into 4th in the Conference. So the battle is on, and now Jo will be out for the the next 10 game stretch or thereabouts.
So I m here to advocate for not sweating the standings and the seedings too much, and to appreciate that as things stand now we should get Jo back in plenty of time to be up to speed for the playoffs, and to thank the fates for that. We have less than two weeks to the deadline, so we ll see what tweaks to the roster may yet happen, and we ll play the games on the schedule, and shuffle some minutes and some roles a bit, and see who can step up to fill the 30 PPG hole in the offense.
