39 points in the 1st half. 66 in the 2nd. not a pretty game, but a terrific adjustment.

This was a game the Sixers lose in the past. They showed fight and toughness, which has been rare in the past few years. Not going to get championship hopes up yet, but we definitely have a good shot Vs the Knicks

Adjustment from the HC is also a welcomed change and will make a difference going forward

God, DeRozan would be so nice here instead of bums like Tobias.

Still, this team's offense is just garbage, relied on bailout shots from Batum out of nowhere to be up there, offense is very stagnant, off ball movement, especially from Embiid, very disappointing.

If Embiid is to get past 2nd round, this is definitely the year. He probably won't get a better chance than this year.

Maybe can chalk this up to their butts being tight after last years epic collapse?

I think they might settle in against the Knicks, but of course you never know with this damn team.
always a jump shot away.

Also, at least we now know Nurse isn’t afraid to sit Tobias down the stretch. That is HUGE for our chances going forward.

Reed also had a great game lowkey.

Hield justified that trade on the second half.

If Morey resign Tobias after seeing this **** i'm not sure what he's doing.

Oubre is just better than Harris, Nurse can see it and is not afraid to act accordingly, this is what a proper coach is supposed to do. With Brett or Doc, Harris would 100% be still playing down the stretch.

With Glenn or Brett on the sidelines we 100% would have lost this game.

Its feels good to finally have a top 5 coach whos going to make good adjustements on the lineups and schemes.

Good comeback good, good adjustments and a good win by the 76ers. Last year under Doc I have no doubt Miami would have won this game. And Damn Miami is an extremely well coached team. I hope Jimmy can play the next game.
The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !

Bring on the draft

You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

On to New York. Dammit! That was a gritty win! Almost a Philly disaster at the end.
We're going to get different saviors on different nights. I expect Maxey to bounce back against the Knicks. The one consistent force needs to be Embiid. He showed up for us in the 4th and played like an MVP. Nico was huge for us as well! Great win! I spent a good portion of the game contemplating suicide by toaster in the bathtub but I'm glad I waited.

Not sure what to think, we were gutsy with the comeback. Good to see potato being able to redeem himself a little. They need to solve zones because other teams are going ot see this game and use it as a blueprint against us the entire playoffs.

Also do the Knicks play any zone? Genuine question.

Dual MVPs of the game:

Nicolas Batum and Caleb Martin for turning the momentum by giving free chicken.

I'll give Nurse credit for benching Tobias on the 4th.

The credit for busting the zone is on Batum and Hield for hitting shots. That opened the rest of the game.
