Christmas miracle. The Sixers blowout the best team in basketball and the Grinches of the board's hearts grow 3x the size.

At home, and might be the underdog. A game that everyone on this team has circled, and they always like to either totally disappoint or look like world beaters in that situation. I pick the latter in this one, although they are the Sixers so the first one is always a possibility.

I solidly pick the Sixers to win, and yeah I'm nervous just saying that. They better have my back, lol.

I like this guy....he needs to do this more often.

Middleton. More reliable 3pt shooter and PnR ball handler. I just look at the numbers so dont doubt me

U think I finally believe embiid is gona unleash a beast come playoff time. Im still not a fan of brown or simmons, and i dont like our effort a lot of times, but i do now believe we have another level we r gona go to come playoffs and Im gona try to keep the bigger picture in mind from here on out but if we flame in the playoffs from the same issues then Ill let loose my anger

SEE THE BOYS IN ORLANDO FRIDAY! taking my boy to his first ever nba game!

Totally enjoyed this one. No stress for 48 minutes. Thank you 76ers and Merry Christmas!

Yeah they tried to make it close, but they also hit some unlikely shots down the stretch, so it's all good. Love seeing Jo getting 30+ points.
Quietest 15 pts from Ben. We choked down Giannis to 18. All in all, a great win and a we made a statement to the league now.

This team needs to establish that "level" as its identity and start winning games like this more often. You can't flip a switch when the playoffs start and suddenly have a team identity. The teams that have already established this kind of identity will whip your ass at that point.

Korkmaz +20

Amazing what can happen when you're focused and intense. The team had only 7 turnovers today. When you're not focused and not intense, the slop happens.

That was about as good as anyone could play Giannis. And they didn't have Thybulle. And even though they predictably fell asleep in the fourth, still a very impressive win.

Also props to Korkmaz. Shooter off the bench! Also Brett needs to run Burke full time as the back up PG.

Sixers won't shoot like this often but you can only hope that this will be a major confident boost against teams who employ the zone against us. Bucks are the best defensive team in the league, so this was really impressive.

Bum Adebayo · Great takes since 2024-04-20

We have a higher level, as shown today, it's just that Brett is not able to motivate this team to play hard most of the time. This game only confirms what we all knew: Brett is the main problem!

With the way they pack the paint and with how we defend Giannis it feels that the games with the Bucks will be basically a 3 point contest.

I want us to get the 2nd seed to avoid indiana with olidipo in round 1.. indiana likely gets 5th or 6th seed and i think its vital to avoid a bloodbath round 1 matchup

Hope I'm wrong.

Absolutely no way any of that happens.

I'm looking forward to this game. Supposedly this team was built to beat teams like the Bucks. Let's see it.

Look at the next five games and tell me where you see a win.

I see a win today against the Bucks.

And everytime they win a game in the next 5 games I will bump this.
