Like the design on this set from Philly. Exchange between Green and Simmons and Simmons comes off Embiid. Watch Green though. He curls off the flare from Embiid right into another P&R to screen Hayward going under
Sixers playing with a lot of confidence early on. Playing through Embiid, comes to set a screen, Simmons calls for a post up. Hornets helping from the nail and the baseline, quick pass to Embiid who knocks down the 3.
Interesting set from the Sixers here. Double P&R with an open side, Simmons/Embiid as screeners. Simmons rolls, Embiid pops. Way to get a smaller defender on Simmons without telegraphing it. Rozier trying to protect vs. pop, ends up getting the steal.
Impressed by the Sixers flow offensively. Going from one action to the next and not forcing it. First drive not there, swing to Embiid who goes to a DHO then swings to Simmons into a P&R. Defense collapses on the drive and the spacing helps here, open 3.
Look at the ball movement from the Sixers here. Harris posts up, Charlotte doubles. Simmons dives which opens the kick to Embiid. Now it's drive and kick with Charlotte in rotation.
Best way I can describe it is the flow is just different for the Sixers this year. Putting pressure on the defense with multiple actions. Stagger for Simmons into a double P&R with Curry coming off which opens up a 3 for Green.
