Nets @ Sixers, 7:30pm EST, TNT

Obviously nothing to really talk about with this one so I figured I’d start the game thread a little early.

Please join with me in celebrating the legendary Sixer careers of one Seth Curry and Andre Drummond. We really should thank them for all they did during their time here.

The Nets suck, but Harden vs. KD should be great, hopefully Matisse covers Kyrie like the vaccine he never took, and I can totally see Joel reverting back to troll mode while beasting Drummond again circa 2018.

Other than that, should just be another game with a lot of cheers for Seth and Andre, welcoming them back home. Not expecting too much and it should be a wonderful night. Go Sixers!
always a jump shot away.

After the final siren sounds at Wells Fargo Stadium...

Sixer fans giving Ben a good send-off :wave:

After watching Coach K get throttled on his last home game, I am concerned about this one. Everything points to us beating them easily, but there are a lot of external factors at play here. Kyrie, in particular, will for sure treat this like game 7 of the finals just to give us hell.

Kinda agree with Negrodamus. We should absolutely boat race this team but there's a lot of extra stuff to this game. Feels like an NFC East game where the favorite gets caught lacking. The crowd should be bonkers tho.

I didn't see Jim Lynam last night. Usually he's right there with Mar(C) and the lady whose name escapes me at the moment. Jim was the coach here when I first started to watch this team so he's rather sentimental to me in life. Hopefully he's back for this game.
As far as the Nets go, I wouldn't take them lightly. I definitely do not want to play them in the playoffs. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are so amazingly talented that you can just never count them out.

I just can’t imagine being a pro athlete and afraid to take the floor you know his teammates are looking sideways let him.

What chants do we serenade our former prince with?

"Thank you Kyrie"

"Young Socialite"

"Thanks for Harden"

"When will you play?"

"Learn to shoot Ben"

just ignore him.

don't even boo. Act like he isn't there...like he hasn't been all year.

That would say more than booing IMO

Of course, more than likely some dick wad is going to show their whole ass and another round of "see Philly am bad" starts up

Read on Twitter


So you guys in Philly are going to help Ben to recup his money?
Please ignore him.

If the crowd was able to ignore him and just focus on the game that would be epic.

What are the odds Benjamin is going to suit up and come out to 'Eye of the Tiger'

The place would go nuts

What charities would get Ben's money? We need to know which children he is suing for millions of dollars.
