Game 24 - Sixers at Rockets 8pm ET

[Arsenal]

Harden is set to return after missing a few weeks. Revenge game against his former team. Ton of home games coming up after this.

Beginning of 11 game winning streak?

Time's yours...

Glad Harden is back, but I keep waiting to see a consistent, motivated Joel Embiid this year and it just isn't happening. I mean, we get glimpses, but I think it's very important that he starts to put together a dominant run sooner than later. He's got to look at what AD has been doing in LA and get a little motivated. I want to see a focused Embiid, a rested Harden, and a consistent Shake Milton tonight. LFG!

Pretty sure harden won’t play more then 20
Minutes. It’s his first game back in over a month. There will be some restrictions placed on his minutes. Plus he will probably be somewhat rusty

[DCasey91]

Should be an easy dub but nothing is easy on this team. Harden shouldn’t play more than 30 odd mins imo

Keen to see Smith Jr/Green and Sengun. They have a nice core but are missing defensive players and leadership.

Anyway SIMONS I TOLD EVERYONE!!! He’s my boy there’s still room on the bandwagon

Yeah of course 31.4 PPG on 62% TS is not enough, he has to do more instead of the rest of the team playing better.
The standard for Embiid is so high that 31 PPG on 62% TS translates to Embiid not being consistent.

[Arsenal]

I turn it on and we're up 10-0. Need to hammer these bad teams so good start.

[Negrodamus]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

[Arsenal]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

Which lineup?

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Shake struggles when he has to come off the bench. He HAS to overcome whatever mental block that is giving him. Has to....He's not a starter once Maxey returns. We all know he's capable. Tonight is important for him. He has to get going, find a rhythm, he's going to get his shot with Harden on a mins restriction.

[Mik317]

team is touchy feely on defense tonight. thats keeping the rockets in the game

[Mik317]

Tony Brothers is the woat

[Mik317]

this game will take until midnight

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I wonder what it would take to pry KJ Martin away from the Rockets via trade? I really like his game, very active, athletic, can guard multiple positions. Was also a big fan of his dad when he played. Everything has a price, I wonder what Houston would ask in return for him?

[Negrodamus]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

Which lineup?

Harden, Melton, Harris, Tucker, Embiid

[Stanford]

Jo is really filling up the stat sheet tonight

[Stanford]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

Which lineup?

Harden, Melton, Harris, Tucker, Embiid

lol Maxey gets injured and becomes the most maligned player on the team.

[Dnt hate]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

Which lineup?

Harden, Melton, Harris, Tucker, Embiid

Nah I think Maxey, Melton, Harden, Harris, Embiid is better for sure

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Tony Brothers is the woat

Josh Tiven is quite the bastard as well.

[Arsenal]

This is the ideal starting lineup, tbh.

Which lineup?

Harden, Melton, Harris, Tucker, Embiid

I agree. But politically it may be difficult to bench Maxey, even if he still gets big mins ala Herro.

This is a sloppy snooze fest right now. Lakers are gonna run us out of the gym on Friday if we don't get our act together.
