sixies in heat . 8pm est

on a five game winning streak after escaping from a possessed darius garland and his team of rebounding titans. the sixers did earn that win last night though, comfortably won three of the four quarters, just put themselves so far behind the eight ball with that sluggish start. our starts need to be more decisive in general, but it's nice to know we have the firepower to play the long game against even the best defensive teams in the league.

besides the big 3, niang was everything and more, SHAKE MILTON MADE SOME THREES. if he magically relearned how to shoot again it's massive for the shape of this bench.

huge game for seeding actually as it could tie us for losses with the first placed heat

i would prefer if jo didn't play and probably harden too, i think their overall health is more important than placement chasing. let tobias run suicides for the full 48. but if they play then cool. potential deandre jordan premier?

heat are resting(/hiding) butler, strus, martin, lowry, oladipo and markieff morris who still hasn't seen the hardwood since the jokic incident like 17 months ago. could go either way, but hopefully it goes our way.

Dammit.

Well we better win now. Hope Maxey doesn't go into a shell again either.

Well, hope Jimmy Butler is out. This could be a rough one otherwise. Also obviously an important game to close the gap on the #1 seed.

Good move. Exactly the game we should sit him. No reason to play Harden on B2B's to end the season.

Want to see the Maxey show from bell to bell tonight. Hopefully Tobi can provide something as well.

Yeah no chance he skips the trip to Miami. Got to be there to "support the team" lol.

Fond memories of Solid Gold, Tootsies and Scarlett's. I even saw Pippen and Rodman there a couple times haha.

Heard he might even go out and do some personal appearances for donations as well. A real hero!

We should still have a chance with Lowry out. Need Tobi to play well. They gonna play zone though. That might be ugly without Harden.

If harden is sitting out. Embiid needs to rest also.

The Miami zone and no floor spacers means a loss.

Might as well let the kids play their hearts out. Play reed bassy. Don’t play anyone over age 30.

Kudos to whoever it was that predicted Harden would rest tonight. Surprising but I guess they/he are just being careful.

We'll see, they already beat the Heat in a similar back to back earlier this year. Bam didn't play but Lowry did. Butler and Tucker are questionable.

It’d be nice to see the teams go at it with no Harden and no Butler.
2023-2024 Philadelphia 76ers:

Lowry/Melton/Payne
Maxey/Hield/Downtin
Batum/Oubre/Council
Harris/Covington/Martin
Embiid/Reed/Bamba

Honestly we are such a good road team. It doesn’t matter if we are seed 1-6. Barring a collapse. We are not going to be in the playin.

Just get some cohesiveness together.
