It’s good that Brooklyn’s next contest following an embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia 76ers tips off the following night. Wednesday represents a chance for redemption, and boy do they have some redeeming to do. Here’s some of what I wrote when previewing Tuesday’s game in Philly:
But the key to what could be an easy Brooklyn win is the same as it was against Memphis: Do not allow offensive rebounds...The return of Nic Claxton should help, but Philly has the bodies to get O-boards. Paul Reed is 6’9” with springs and a plus-5 wingspan that should see an increased role in Embiid’s absence.
