The buzz after the Sixers’ big-time weekend win over the Warriors has petered out. The team’s 126-91 loss to the Grizzlies in Memphis drops the Sixers to 15-13 and seventh in the Eastern Conference as of this writing. Here are my three main reactions to tonight’s game:
- The obvious caveat: The Sixers were without their two best players tonight. Though both went through pregame warmups, Seth Curry (right shoulder soreness) and Joel Embiid (right rib soreness) both sat out. Hot take: missing your two best players can have an adverse effect on your squad’s performance!
