I want to see James and Embiid atleast trying to mesh their games. Have to get them on the same page to be some type of threat. The build of this team is flawed and lowers the ceiling all together tho. All we really have to get better is the duo of James & Embiid chemistry and Maxey continuing to grow.

Today Embiid will show Davis who is the alpha here. I see easy win.

I foresee a loss tonight

Unibrow playing very well

We are a dysfunctional mess led by an idiot HC.

When are we gonna stop trotting PJ out there w the starters? I mean, it would be hard to replace his 3.5 points per game and 1.0 assist per game, plus his valuable vet leadership, but can we at least try?

And as great a player Embiid is, he still lacks the maturity and focus to be one of the best. Gets lackadaisical w ball handling, errant passes and I’m super tired of seeing him flop on offensive end, bitch to refs as the opponent heads up court on a 5 on 4. Love to see the stats when he is down and late or non existent getting back on D.

Can Doc possibly give Harden less time and Shake and Co more?

The really sad aspect of this team? When our entire Big 3 of Joel, James and Tyrese were out, the remaining players played better D and better team basketball.

Doc has to go. He is an albatross around the neck of this team. A loss tonight and they’re 12-13. They’re trending towards a high EC seed, which might have them exiting in Round 1.

I’m tired of this old, stale same ol same ol 76ers. Really tired.

We know what this team can do when it's motivated. We know what Jo can do when he's motivated. I can see us winning tonight in what will be a very fun, exciting game. Unfortunately, I think this will be the trend throughout the season. The team is going to show glimpses of greatness followed by letdowns against teams we should be beating. We aren't focused, we aren't locked in to any kind of goal. It's like the guys all showed up this year without any real reason as to why we're here or what we're trying to achieve. You look at Boston...That team is LOCKED in to what they are wanting to achieve. Tatum is playing like an MVP. That is a tight group of players who are all on the same page and if they stay healthy, they are going to cruise to the Finals this year. I'm jealous. I wish we were playing like they were.

Rare game where PJ Tucker ain't the oldest dinosaur in the game. I'm calling PJ hitting multiple threes this game

Embiid is playing fantastic, 32 PPG on 62.4% TS, it doesn't get better than that, he is very mature. It's the rest of the team that needs to improve.

Just saw a stat that says we are 23rd or 24th in the league in assists.....That sounds bad and if there was ever an indication of how this team is functioning right now, that would be it. We aren't sharing the ball, we aren't moving, we aren't motivated, and we're damn sure not competing. Turn it around tonight please.

His deal makes the Al Horford deal look amazing
