Going for win #7 in a row. MIL cracked the door for the #1 seed by blowing a game against IND at home last night. Speaking of IND we play them tomorrow night.

Sweeping this B2B would be huge. Gets us within 2 games of MIL with the tiebreaker in hand and 1 more H2H matchup pending. Could also pass BOS with a win if they lose @ POR tonight.

McDaniels is out again, everyone else is available. No excuses, must win again tonight. Time's yours...

Ideally this would be a good game to rest Embiid. First in a B2B on the road against an inferior opponent.

Unfortunately, he plays due to chasing MVP and higher seeding in the playoffs.

Do you all think Embiid sits tomorrow?

If Embiid wants MVP he won't miss another game.

If so, it would have made more sense to sit him tonight IMO as he pretty much destroys Turner in every matchup vs. him.

He's not sitting. MVP is within his grasp.

Great job by Maxey actually shooting before the buzzer.

Hornets doesnt have people cheering for them? It seems there´s a lot of sixers people on the stands.

I find basketball rather enjoyable lately. That is all.

Embiid has reached the level we all fantasized about when he was drafted. He’s just unbelievably good.

I believe Embiid is good enough now in a playoff setting, especially with a proper PG in Harden. It's all about being finally healthy in the postseason, some **** always happens and he gets this weird injury every time.
