clippers could end up in the 2 seed, they have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way. probably my dark horse ATM.

when is Crawford coming back?

Might be done for the year. Can't call it yet. I want to see him back but low low low key- his And1- Hot Sauce routine stops the flow of the offense and his 1 on 1 game doesn't always translate in the post season.

He doesn't need to play the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarters

The Joel Embiid / Nerlens Noel frontcourt experiment started phase 1 last night, they're playing Nerlens at PF the rest of the season to see if he can do it :wow:
I just don't see how it works offensively with those 2

Nerlens is improving by leaps and bounds on offense, I think it can work.

Look at your own team with Gasol/Noah, yeah Noah is a good passer but as far as his offensive skillset goes he's not much better than Nerlens. The spacing can work if Embiid operates from the baseline down to the low block, and it seems like the goal for the Sixers is to put shooters @ 1-3.

Noah/Gasol has been our worst frontcourt pairing this season actually, its not working and the spacing sucks (even with Thibs moving Pau from the low post to the mid/high post)

Its been getting better but I dunno. It should be better than it it

Noah has been bad overall this year, he can't finish at the rim, that's part of the reason it hasn't been as good as it should.

I will always swing for the fences when it comes to frontcourts like this, you take the defense (Favors/Gobert) and hope the rest works itself out over time. Embiid is really the key, if he's taking 15-18 footers while also having the post game it'll give Noel the space he needs at times, and Nerlens has made a lot of progress on offense this year. Also, Brown used to work with the great one, he knows the importance of big men :wow:
