Joel Embiid's energy, James Harden's shot selection, and Doc Rivers' bench are among the keys for the Sixers down the stretch. ByDavidMurphy shares his thoughts on the Sixers after this weekend's performance.
: a two-game stretch that gave you every reason to think they can compete in a playoff against the best the NBA can offer, and several reasons to wonder whether they can actually win four times in seven games.
The only question is whether he can/will do it for four quarters a game, every game. That may be unfair, but that’s reality. Compare that to the Embiid we saw in the first half against the Grizzlies two nights earlier. Yes, he was sick. Yes, he was coming off a long All-Star Break layoff. But 2-for-14 counts as 2-for-14 regardless of the circumstances. And when Embiid does it the way he did it against the Grizzlies -- slowly, meekly, unsmartly -- it infects the whole court. He shook it off in the second half, leading the Sixers on a 12-point comeback to win 110-105.
McDaniels is an asset. He brings a ton of energy to the court, and remains under control while doing so. You can see why Daryl Morey thought it wise to swap him for Matisse Thybulle. Problem is, they really need a second McDaniels.
