Mavericks Not Looking Good For Game vs. Sixers

Kyrie and Doncic do not have good team chemistry. Joel Embiid is back. Hopefully the 76ers rest Harden for the rest of the season so he can play at 100% in the playoffs. As long as Maxey gets 20-30 points tonight and the backup centers Dewayne Dedmon and Paul Reed aren't absolutely terrible we can win this game.

Once the sixers are hot they can go on a scoring run, but when they're cold they stop playing defense, which has been detrimental to key games all season. George Niang has 12 blocks this entire season because he has no hops at all and can barely jump over a soda can. Our starting power forward isn't much better. Tobias Harris only has 38 blocks this season. Christian Wood on the Mavericks has 67 blocks this season averaging 1.6 per game. We might get blocked a little bit but the only person on the Sixers who might get a block today is Joel Embiid.

If the mavericks decide to actually play Javale McGee we can lock him up even with a backup center. I think the sixers will win by more than 4 points. I think there will be more than 231.5 points scored because we can't play defense and will have to resort to playing better offense.
