This is gonna be another tough one. Sadly, I think we drop our third straight but I hope I'm wrong.

Need Embiid to dominate the boards & the paint today if we’re gonna win. Lack of size is really OKC’s one weakness.

I'm surprised that we're the favorites in this game.

Hope to see Springer on SGA.

If this team is serious they need to win games like this, especially after dropping a couple of winnable home games already.

Hot start for a change. Let's not take our foot off the gas.

Biid has to play like this all the time

settling for jumpers and floating at the 3 pt line isn't it

I'm flabbergasted that Maxey thinks not scoring at all in the 1st is a smart choice.

I think the "idea" is that he gets others going and in a rhythm and then during his Biid-less stint he can go get his....

which would be great if he was the one setting them up but instead he just floats while Melton runs the offense....

Keeping Tobias and Batum on this line up seems more effective

We're getting way too three ball happy instead of staying with what got us the early lead.

I think Embiid thinks he’s playing the OKC of old where he can take a few FU shots from three.

Also, Shai is cooking our ass.

Morris having the fluke game or rather quarter in a game we got blown out was the worst thing that could have happened

If only Beverly wasn’t a complete zero on offense. Is it a rule that the Sixers always have a pg like this on the roster?
