Rivers Quotes: Said Tobias is rebounding well after he was dropping off there, said he went with Maxey to match minutes with Ish Smith and Raul Neto (because they are fast), said he liked how Ben created so many 3-pointers with his drives, said he liked the rhythm of their 3-pointers, said Joel was “special special” in Game 3, said he really wants Joel to attack when he’s single covered
Brooks Quotes: Said he can’t imagine Embiid playing any better and they tried so many different things on him, said Tobias might be the best No. 3 in the NBA, said Gafford has to stay locked in, said he probably wants to take Gafford out after 6-7 minutes because he gets tired, said the team made a lot of mistakes on 3-point defense but it’s hard to defend when Embiid gets so deep, said Rui is getting some experience (didn’t really talk him up), said Beal is not happy about being in the 0-3 hole, said the four-guard lineup was out there to try to get some 3-pointers.
