The Philadelphia 76ers have won three straight games, and while that is not earth-shaking to any degree, the vibes have never been this good for the franchise this season. However, amid the jubilation from the team starting to round into form and get healthier bodies, the coaching staff made a sudden change just recently which is not being talked about enough.

With Joel Embiid looking as healthy as he has in the last couple of years, Nurse has gone against the grain as of late, favoring sophomore big man Adem Bona over the veteran Andre Drummond as the first center off the bench to spell the superstar.
