Game's over, guys.

We can finally talk about early 00s albums by Cash Money Records artist, Lil Wayne.

I'll start.



Was Juvie really bragging about a yellow PT Cruiser in that first verse? Even in 2000, that was some mid-life crisis white dude ****.

I forgot who posted it so i can give them credit. But we lost 3 leaders in the offseason in Reddick, TJ and Butler.
Are we gonna be the new Atlanta Hawks? Another good regular season team that lacked any go to scorers and ball handlers that couldn't make noise in the playoffs.

Also had Al Horford...

Looks like this team may have a losing road record this year. I guess every win on the road they get is a bonus.

Bad loss. Nothing to really take from this. Move on to the next one

Really frustrating. I HATE the way Al played. I would much rather see him foul out trying to defend those drives than to just stand there and watch the layup line.

Why is O'Quinn getting so little playing time in games like today's? Does he just not have it? I thought he was a useful player on the Knicks, but then he went to teams where he's been buried the last two years. I assumed he was on the 6ers for depth in games like today's.

This was very predictable as soon as they decided Embiid was on a last minute maintenance day was too sick to play. No big deal as long they get a nice 5 game winning streak going through Christmas.

I mean, if they think they can just turn the switch on and off then they should prove it.

Also the last 3 games of the month are on the road at Orlando, Miami, and Indy. All are likely losses. So they really need to win the next 5.

Completely meaningless loss for you guys without Embiid and this was a trap game regardless. That said...I really like that Melle guy, never seen him before.

Overall I still think Philly and Milwaukee are the class of the East, but I think you guys need help on the bench, more 3 point shooting, and need to have a better game plan for when Embiid is out. There is way too much talent in the starting 5 even without him, not to win. Kinda makes me question Brown a bit.

Brown has no control over the team. He seems to be getting more mad lately at their turnovers and bad defense. Its obvious as hell the team doesnt listen or care what he has to say

We can not win with brown at coach. Team comes out accepting a loss with their lack of effort far too often

Missed the game, but this was a game we should have won without Embiid. Watching the Nets the other night, they were completely offensively anemic without Dinwiddie on the court. I'm surprised we couldn't gameplan for this with our defensive strength on the perimeter. I'll have to check it out to see where the breakdown was.

My take. Vegas too strong.
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.

Richardson got into early foul trouble and Thybulle seemed to have some trouble getting through screens. Not sure if Horford was ready to come back. He looked really bad on the defensive end and couldn't buy a bucket. Mostly it just seemed like the effort wasn't there and that they shot like crap. If you were ever going to skip a game, this would be the one (unless you just want to watch Dinwiddie and Joe Harris)

I do love watching Dinwiddie because he's pretty ridiculous offensively and it pains me that we don't have anyone like him on this team despite sucking for so long.

Geez.......

Some of you guys have no lives but to write the same **** on here before during and after every game.

By the way Ben played a very good game, by far the best sixer player tonight.

He didn't come out with that aggression to start. We shouldn't have to be in a hole for him to start bringing it.

This had an L written all over it. Same old from the Nets-Sixers games. 2 man game every time. Don't really understand why we didn't put Dinwindie on the floor once on his drive. Get a flagrant 1, and he won't be doing that. Too many easy baskets. Just hate to see it.
Same **** as the last year.

Agreed 100%

I think that Al played because Joel took the game off.

Richardson seems a step slow since returning too.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
