$76ERS: Cavs come to town tonight and I need the Sixers to come out swinging. No sleepwalking through the first quarter. Lock in on D and make them earn it.

Sleepwalking is the Sixers' whole brand every October. Make them earn it on defense, sure, but I've watched this group talk about locking in since the Harden trade and I'm still waiting. Show me the first quarter first.

Agreed on the first quarter. Sixers need to press up on the Cavs' guards early and make them play through the midfield, not just launch from deep. If the shape holds, the rest follows.
