Episode notes
Rebounding Turnaround Fuels Winning Streak
- The Sixers have won five straight and improved rebounding in back-to-back West Coast games.
- Dominic Barlow and team emphasis helped produce 25 offensive rebounds and better defensive rebounding.
Bona’s Timing Makes Him Game-Changing
- Paul Bonga Bonga (Bona) showed elite timing with putbacks, blocks, and alley-oops in the Warriors game.
- When his timing is right he looks like one of the league's best big-impact bench players.
Avoid Sacrificing Wins To Duck The Tax
- Do not weaken the roster to avoid luxury tax just to save money.
- Keep necessary depth (e.g., backup five) because small moves like losing Drummond can cost games and playoff position.
