The Sixers have a vicious seven game slate which will inevitably reveal a ton about about how viable a title contender they truly are. It may also give us a few more clues about Doc Rivers’ playoff rotation. Not all of the following points will relate directly to Matisse Thybulle himself. But I hope by the end, I’ll have made a decent case for why the second year man out of Washington needs a bunch more minutes as the team enters the most challenging stretch of their season and rehearses playoff rotations.

Sixers-Cavs recap: Showtime Shake Milton!

The Philadelphia 76ers faced the Cleveland Cavaliers for a Thursday night matchup. Going into this game, I felt cautiously optimistic as the Cavs would be without two of their young cornerstones in Jarrett Allen and Larry Nance, Jr. The Cavs have had a rough go as of late, suffering seven losses in their last 10 games as they plummet towards the lottery. This seemed like an easy W to pick up after the Sixers suffered back-to-back losses.
However, I had to remind myself of the previous matchups against this team. The Sixers, for some reason (?), have struggled mightily against the Cavs this season. Kevin Love and Matthew Dellavedova were also upgraded from questionable to available, giving the Cavs some much-needed reinforcements.
