Bucks are going to be out for revenge since the last time we played them. I fully expect a loss although this team has shown resilience in close games against good opponents this season so don't count them out. IDK the injury report but we need a full deck if we have any chance of winning.

No stakes here. We already know we can beat these guys and there's virtually no shot of moving up to the #2 or #3 seed.

Gonna watch WrestleMania instead.

One of Harden or Embiid should sit tonight, and the other tomorrow. Other than that and no injuries I don't care too much.

The game tonight is the key for Embiid winning MVP, if Sixers win and he has a good enough game, he is MVP, I don't understand why people are saying it's not a very important game. Winning on the road against the best RS team in the league and against an MVP candidate is huge.
It's much better to care a lot today and care less about the last games. Let's play our hardest today, try a bit against Celtics and then fully rest the stars maybe in the last 3 games. Doing this, Embiid would also reach the new proposed mark of 65 games played minimum.

Best night of wrestling I can remember in a long time. Finally now that senile Vince is out of the way, WWE is awesome again.

We can become kingmakers for the 1 seed with these two games against the Celtics and the Bucks.

Still, i think Joel is gonna go hard because this one most likely could seal the MVP deal.

Lol, of course they cannot miss

Middleton has been trash all season and of course he can't miss tonight.

Not worried especially we are trailing.

He has been hurt all season and started to regain his form a week or two ago.

Murray_17 · Post #15 » by **Murray_17** » Mon Apr 3, 2023 12:25 am

Melton and finishing around the rim, blah blah

Jay555 · Post #16 » by **Jay555** » Mon Apr 3, 2023 12:26 am

Where's jaden springer ? Put him on Middleton ffs

Harden has 0 points in the quarter. Cmon man. if he's not right sit him. If he is, this is pathetic.

They've missed 3 shots, how the fawk are we supposed to defend.

The thought that we can beat the Bucks is BS. We are such a clownish team that is so inconsistent at times.
