Let's get it. Start of a 4-game stretch against EC playoff teams.

For once can we come out with some intensity at home from the start?

Little Matisse story, because it's his birthday today

Watch on YouTube

Pretty interesting how he ended up a 76er.

No Tobias or Jordan tonight. We’re going to get killed on the boards more than usual. Tonight would be an ideal night to try out Bassey.

Tobias is questionable, have they now listed him as out?

Easy loss.

Curious to see us w/out Tobias. Niang starts at PF and I assume Millsap is the backup? Or we go super small and play Kork or Thybulle as the backup 4 if Millsap has to play backup C w/no Jordan yet?

Here's my preferred non-Tobias lineup:

PG Maxey | Milton
SG Harden | Green
SF Thybulle | Kork
PF Niang | Millsap
CE Embiid | Bassey

Also quick hook for Kork if he continues sucking. Give Joe a shot.

Still should win this one. Maybe lose vs heat

BTW without Tobias, I would start Danny Green instead and maybe let Harden play bigger. Maybe. But Green still can defend within a team scheme, even if he's lost a step, plus space.

First live game for me in 2+ years. Very excited to be in the house with Beard.

Cavs are really struggling and we beat them post-Harden trade without James even playing. I’d expect a win tonight at home given that Embiid is too big for Mobley/Allen and Mattise is the perfect defender to throw on Garland.

Sixers win by 12.

I think we'll need to see a healthy amount of BBall Paul tonight. They are too big for our small ball stuff.

Hope tonight is the Charles & Joe night. We've got 21 games to experiment, might as well start tonight.

Kork needs to be behind Green, Shake, and possibly even Joe come playoff time IMO.

Harden’s lack of size will make it difficult to operate in the paint. 76ers will struggle to rebound without Harris against 3 7 footers. 76ers bench will also be outsized. Your advantage is the injuries to Rondo, Sexton, and LeVert. If the Cavs cannot hit their 3s 76ers lose by 5. If they do hit them 76ers lose by 20. Only way 76ers win is to have a good shooting night while Cavs have a bad one.

It sure is fun watching a contender!

Sure would be if 76ers were a contender!

I don't block all trolls, just the obvious, boring, unintelligent ones.

It’s weird. I fell more comfortable with sixers on the road Vs then at home this season.

I know we only had one harden game at home.

But we just look better on the road.

Cleveland is a big team. Up and coming. But I think embiid size and strength is too much for whoever they want to put on him.
