Sixers are hopeful that Embiid returns today though he is officially listed as questionable. RoCo is listed as out as is Melton and Bamba with a "fat pad impingement" which I never heard of until now lol. We should win (knock on wood).
Schedule-makers dropped the ball again with us having to play the Nuggets tomorrow smdh.

Probably wise to hold Embiid out and have him go tomorrow imo.

Sit him tonight then play tom. Or play both games.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Embiid is available to play today. But you probably knew this by now.

why does Nurse use Batum like he's prime Iggy on defense?

I haven't watched them a ton so this questions gonna sound real dumb. Does Houston have a center?
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

right right. Just tuned in and saw an all dwarf lineup. Sengun seems solid as hell.

Huge challenge and 5 point swing in our favour. So good so far.

I love Pat Bev. Feels like the guy that PJ was advertised as.

Let's hope that we put this one to bed early so that Embiid rests the fourth and has more in the tank for Jokic and company tomorrow night.
Side note, his streak appears to be in danger.

I know the Sixers are good, but I really feel like the Rockets dropped big money on the wrong guys. Brooks and VanVleet are not the example you want to use for “good defense”. Seguin, Tate, and Smith aren’t making smart defensive plays.

i think they literally wanted to just be a normal NBA team instead of a circus....they might regret it later but for now they have been a normal NBA team.

Ironically, old heads like who hold guys accountable like Pat Bev would have better served as the PG. Sign former stud big men who can help guide these dudes.

Thats 100% what it is. Everyone clocked that FVV and Brooks weren't exactly amazing acquisitions for the price when they did it. Also, iirc Ferttita was down bad for a while financially. That might have really affected their ability to endure another full on rebuild year.

I feel like something could happen between Brooks and Embiid today. I hope Jo stays cool.
