With a 3-0 lead, the 76ers were pulled two innings in a row by the Raptors, and the series score became 3-2. Now that the momentum seems to have shifted to the Raptors' side, the 76ers have to make a change.
In previous series, the 76ers have been using a relatively small eight-man rotation in Toronto: Embiid, Harden, Danny Green, Harris, Maxi, Milton, Reid, Niang. Now, they are interested in adding a rotational line-up, and Kolkmaz and Isaiah Joe will get a certain chance in the game.
Since Sable had never been vaccinated, he was unable to play in Toronto. Sable doesn't play, the team's rotation line-up becomes shorter, and Rivers considers adding playing time to Colkmaz and Isaiah Joe. Both are shooters and can shoot in the open.
"The players in our squad are available and there are some nights when you'll be interested in expanding the rotation. We'll think about it all, and we'll do it. ”
Talking about the upcoming first round of G6. Rivers said: "I don't know if I'm worried about losing two games in a row, the raptors home atmosphere will be very warm, I think that's a good thing for us and we'll be ready for that." ”
Asked about the Green Army and heat's early promotion, Rivers said: "They are obviously more energetic and urgent than us, as to why? If I could get back to that, my salary should be doubled. ”
