Should be a good one. Not looking forward to watching Antman roast our guards like the Bulls did the other night. Would be a great opportunity Nurse to put Springer in to guard him for stretches but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Expecting a loss, Embiid will have a below average game. Will still be a close game though.

Batum is out injured his right hamstring. I wonder if it has anything to do with him chasing guards around.

Feels like a loss and the usual suspects will be back to tell us that they were right

The Sixers will win this one. They're not going to lose a second game in a row at home to one of the best teams in the league after being a bit embarrassed the other night.

Batum and Cov out. Morris Returns
Kelly Oubre to start.

I'm hoping to see some Springer on Ant.
We already kno Ant is going to cook our backcourt
Can Tobias get going against the best defensive team in the league? Going to be tough
Embiid has to get one of their bigs in foul trouble.

It looks like Morris, Cov and Batum are out.

More Springer minutes i guess

That’s a problem. I’ll change the prediction I made earlier. This is a loss.

Tobias not being able to score while guarded by Towns is for sure something

playing good defense

can't buy a bucket lol

Getting Gobert in foul trouble is gonna be important to diminish their defense tho

Oubre picks up his 2nd foul.
My guess is we will see more House tonight

He doesn't have the quickness to take advantage. Like how he struggles against Horford

That was a dumb foul Tyrese

bad wording on my part

I get it...getting to the line is a skill and important and maybe not in that spot but sometimes it feels like he's playing for the foul first and second and it bites him in the ass come playoff time.
