Back to back, likely Embiid misses one of them.

I think we'll lose the next 3 and then we could win the home game vs the Thunder, but if we can't beat the Suns and Lakers, it doesn't inspire much confidence. It's basically if the Sixers hit their 3's they'll win and if they don't they won't. We won't know til the game starts what Sixers team we'll get.

Isn’t it exciting tho? Lol

Maybe I'm overly optimistic but I think we lose to the Cavs then take 2 of 3 to the Pelis, Wolves, and Thunder. Then beat the Bulls and Kings. 4-2 over that stretch would be great.

Vegas only has us as 5 point dogs tomorrow. I actually wouldn't be surprised if LeBron rested either. Back to back and they just lost their win streak.

Already up to 6 in some places... get it while you can.

It's already been confirmed Embiid is out tomorrow, right?

Cut to 2018-19.

That would be a successful season IMO.

Year 1 of Ben Simmons and year 2 of Embiid results in the playoffs would be a win no matter how you slice it.

You better believe that would be a successful season. I think that they can be better than that though. I think 50 games on the absolute outside is possible, but 45 is very possible with a generaly positive outcome.

Hey LongLiveHinkie. I have now placed you in the same category as Bryan Colangelo. I blame you for all the 76ers present problems.

How about you make another thread and title it. "76ers are in for a Long Winning streak!" Use your magic for good not for Evil.

I really wish I wasn't right about it. Not ready yet to say the Sixers will go on a long winning streak, but I will do you one better:

The Eagles are still going to find a way to win the Superbowl without Wentz. So at least we got that.

I am not even a fan of New England...but even with Wentz the Eagles would have been hard pressed to beat the Patriots. Without him you can kiss your Superbowl dreams goodbye.

This wasn't hard to see coming. Looking at the schedule it's going to continue through most of December to be very difficult.

F the schedule. We just lost two bad games to the Lakers and Suns at home.

definitely a rough patch especially with the injuries starting to pile up.

it is good for evaluation purposes tho...as guys are seeing what they need to work on and adjust to.

but a lot of it is mainly our lack of depth at the end of the day, Our bench has lost us games, and even in games where our starters start poorly, as we fight back into games, the inevitable time starters have to sit has basically doomed us lol.

Booker's addition seems to be a start but we need another wing, to spell Covington as TLC just isn't getting it done.

TLC is not an NBA caliber player , he should be the last guy in the bench.

sadly, yeah. We needed to add another wing in the offseason as it seems he's just not ready for primetime.

I'd rather have Justin Anderson get his run when he gets back.

Sixers have lost 6 of 7 with 3 of those 6 losses to the Suns, Lakers, and Bulls.

Carry on.

I really don't get it. We should be much better than this...at least a tier above the teams we're losing to.
