We are double digit underdogs for a reason... Philly almost let one slip against CHI.. not so much this time.

I fully expect Philly's front court to dominate ours but their defense overall isn't that great so we might make a game of it. We'll lose at the end though.

Defense is actually our strength. We have the third best defensive rating in the league. https://stats.nba.com/teams/defense/?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1

Our starting line-up is solid, but our bench is hideous.

hopefully another loss
tanking got brutal lately
Atlanta is and Chicago are doing it right waiving vets not playing their nominal starters etc...
and Grizzlies are on a very long losing streak and are danger close to the rest of the pack...
what a bad year for tanking...at least 10 teams is doing it :/ and problem is we are still trying to win
our only hope for loses is Vogel coaching

Exciting opponent, Who doesn't want to see Embiid and Ben Simmons? They are awesome!

Correct. Also, never forget why you don’t draft and stash euros

:lol: That's fair.

Some of the Philly fans can be arseholes, but the city itself isn't bad.

Let's not forget had we had Vazquez during the Dwight Howard era, we probably would have won the finals in 2009! The Lakers frontcourt of Bynum and Gasol was too much for Howard and Lewis!

Nice pass by AG, if he's ever able to figure how to drive to basket effectively he'll be an All-Star.
