Pre-season Game 4: Detroit Pistons 2-1 @ Philadelphia 76ers Tue. 7PM

Hopefully Embiid can “wake up” Andre so he can “turn it on” to start the season rather that waiting till he doesn’t make the all-star team to start playing with max effort.

I think barring injury the 76ers will be coming out of the east this year and I’m excited to get a good look at them.

I can’t wait for the regular season to start! :thumbsup:

I'd like to see Drummond man up and punch Embiid right in the face during the tip. He'll get ejected and suspended for half the year, but at least he'll have some pride. Semi-serious.

Apparently this game is on NBA TV so there will be streams available if you don't have NBA TV. I can't remember the last time I was able to watch 4 preseason games that were actually televised somewhere and not off some crappy feed from inside the arena.

That would automatically become the best all-time preseason game. I find preseason games in any sport to be pretty worthless aside from mild curiosity.

Nah, Dre's problem is mental toughness. Acting out in a way that costs his team is the opposite of mental toughness.

Yeah...lashing out in that cheap manner would just prove he's a mental midget. I don't think he would ever do that.

Looks like Al Horford & Ben Simmons are out.

I’m more interested to see how the Pistons players perform but I sure would have liked to see a complete 76ers squad.

Punch to the face? No. Pull the chair or other in-game savvy hard move so Embiid is out the season because he's injury-prone? Sure.

I keep thinking how Rick Mahorn would have handled Embiid. The head game and punishment would have been a joy to watch.

By the time he pulled the chair Embiid's head would have exploded.

Blake not traveling with the team due to hamstring soreness. Hopefully he stays healthy this year cause hes looked a step slow out there

hopefully SEKOU plays

Kennard looks too slow for the NBA. Against backups he still doesn’t have the athleticism to try the sneaky stuff.

Manu had that game. Slow, speed change, sneaky. But Manu was fast and strong.

Kennard has been absolutely dreadful in the first half. Getting worked at will on defense, can't hold on to the ball, looks stuck in slow motion, and had 3 consecutive turnovers trying to make the inbounds pass

Well, Luke got his chance to start and is **** the bed.
