I would still be more inclined to continue that 1st Quarter run, the problem being that the bench cast continues to struggle. Since I have been writing so much about the Covington/Embiid/Simmons trio and how good they have been, perhaps this is a good spot for the flip side, all based on Net PP100:
In Out Embiid +10.1 -5.3 Covington +7.4 -5.6 Simmons +4.9 -2.7
Considering how good the Wade/Ellington/Adebajo/Johnson group has worked off the bench for the Heat, there is the prospect once again of the 76ers losing ground when the key cogs are off the floor.
