They really did a great job with the '18 Chronicles on card autos (obviously the Immac isn't Chronicles, just the only pic I had handy)

No kidding! Basically all the rookie autos from 18-19 Chronicles are awesome - even the sticker XR RPAs. I went searching for a Zion Chronicles auto last week and I hate the designs of them all. Airborn would be OK if it weren't a sticker.

Us Luka fans are lucky to have some great unknown-ish on card autos.

Luka is playing masterfully. Games like this remind me why I need to keep my good Luka cards

C'mon Brunson you're missing too many shots. We need the good Brunson. Or someone, anyone else to step up.

This game could get interesting at the end the way they are calling fouls.

By the end of the game they’ll be out of big men.

At least we get to see Luka and embiid laugh at each other knowing they both get fouled pretty much every play.

This is tough to watch... he really needs a vet to tell him to stop sulking. It’s a bad look

Mavs iso ball offense is very uninspiring.

Eh. I don't mind the sulking - but he should be hustling back. The sulking is all part of how he plays with emotion. You don't get the super fun/amazing moments without some of the bad/sulking moments.

I think he knew pretty early in the 2nd half this game was over with KP out and with the way Embiid is playing.

You clearly don’t watch the Mavs very often.

The bench has been so awful as of late. Brunson in the starting lineup, but his play has fallen off a cliff.

Yeah bad 3 game stretch for Brunson for sure.

Honestly I wasn’t expecting a win tonight. Really deflating loss last night after a great 4th to get back in it.

No one was gonna be able to guard Embiid in this game. Bad game plan to let all your bigs get in foul trouble early instead of double teaming him from the start.

Should’ve made Harris, Green and Simmons beat you. That I can live with.

Oh I do... His supporting cast is dreadful. Supporting doesn’t even seem like the right word.

Watching this system reminds me of the Jordan doc when they hired Jackson and he said he was going to take the ball out of his hands and run a system on offense. I think Luka could benefit from that same system.... or maybe just get some half decent players around him.

Last two games did a good job of demonstrating Rick’s stubbornness. You’re going to run the same tired defense at Derozan and Embiid and expect them not to keep killing you?

I didn’t expect a W tonight either. Versatile bigs like Embiid are nightmares for us. But the secondary guys need to get it together again. Can’t win games with so many guys having complete duds of games. Luka has 11 assists the last two games. If I wanted to torture myself, I bet I could rewatch and find a dozen more that should have been converted.

Honestly, I'd sulk too if I had to endure the horrible coaching of RC this long. At some point, players give up. I think Luka sensed there was no coaching effort to win this game. It was treated like a throw away game by the coaching staff and I'd be pissed off or deflated also.

I think he sulked because he just airballed a 3.

But what I found interesting is that Philly did to Luka what good teams like Detroit would do to LeBron early in his career....

Play him one on one, let him score his 30, but don't let the rest of the team get open shots and beat you that way. It worked.

Luka got his 32... and man... he had to earn them, because he had some good defenders D'ing him up tight. He did a very good job scoring, other than his 3 point shooting.

But they also held him to 4 assists. The games where Luka is really gonna kill you is when he drops 30 with 10+ assists.
