It will be Simmons, Matisse, or Green. Either way, they will be in for a ride. Bogi is tremendous at using screens and he will use them nonstop

This the second straight series we’ve got an advantage in the starting lineup (assuming no Joel)
Benches should play to a draw...it’ll come down to Doc & Nate and who can adjust
Massive advantage with the starting lineup. Way more than the Knicks series. Bench is neutral. Both of us is truly just 8 to 9 deep. Okongwu should be better this series if Embiid is limited. Before that, I was thinking Okongwu would have a more limited role.
Nate v. Doc should he fun.
I want to see the post of his percentages without Embiid when this series is over. They still consider Game 4 with Embiid when we all know Embiid was basically out

I will say, what type Hunter and Bogdanovic they get, changes the algebra a lil bit
If they can just stick Danny and Matisse as lead defender on Trae and actually be able to shadow and double breh on the drive, this series is ending in 3

Philly is 10-11 without Embiid this season. In some of those wins, it was nikkas like Shake Milton going off for 30 without either Simmons or Embiid. Milton streaky ass be an all star and then all clown

Forbes prediction is Sixers in 7 but they acknowledge that we can beat them and present a lot of matchup issues
Who will Seth Curry guard? If Thybulle is guarding Trae, Simmons on Capela, Harris on Collins I’m guessing Green on Hunter and Curry on Bogi? That’s not a good defensive matchup whenever that Sixers lineup is on the floor...Hunter will post up Green or shoot over him and Bogi will take Curry off the dribble. Hawks are gonna have a real advantage on the boards. I’m tempted to say Philly starts off with Green on Trae and Thybulle on Hunter but how Philly defends our PnR and Trae will decide the series
What will be Philly’s starting lineup?
If Embiid is out, Curry/Green in the backcourt and Thybulle/Harris/Simmons in the front court. We’ve been predicting that based off of Game 5 vs WAS but it seems like even Doc wasn’t convinced until the last minute. This lineup, while defensively focused, isn’t great offensively. Dwight & Simmons together doesn’t work and Mike Scott as a small ball 5 hasn’t been great either
What will Doc’s lineups look like? The article covers that in detail

My two cities, this will be fun for me
Sixers in 6
Thybulle vs Ice Trae is going to be must see tv.
Sixers in 6 with Embiid or without?

I’ve been posting different starting lineups for Philly but if they go with Thybulle in the starting lineup he’s gotta be productive defensively. He’s already a liability offensively for them but he can’t get into foul trouble and he can be aggressive defensively (Beal got him for three fouls in Game 5). I don’t know where Philly gets enough scoring or shooting with that lineup. As for OO, he’s definitely gonna get minutes as the backup 5 to make an impact vs their 2nd unit.
BTW, Hawks have the third best defensive rating in the playoffs so far (Sixers are 5th)
The Sixers did this to the Bulls when Rose got hurt. They ain't built for this without Jojo

Sixers have 3 main questions:
-How do you guard the Trae/Cap or Trae/JC lob?
-Where do you hide Curry?
-Most importantly how do you guard Trae?
If Embiid isn’t able to play it gets that much tougher to answer that question
