Another win book it.

Even with all the injuries that the 76ers have had, there are still 6 teams with worse records. How does that happen? Did the tank for some teams start as soon as the season started?

This season is so stupid. I think it's three of the last four seasons now that have been complete wastes of time.

Are there any good teams on the schedule, or is this what the NBA has become?

No kidding, with even the "good teams" like the Sixers who were supposed to be a "super team" and the former champion Nuggets, the Lakers with 2 superstars all sucking its no wonder the ratings are down.

The only teams worth following night in and night out are the bottom market Thunder or Cavs, and the 3pt do or die Celtics. Even the Knicks are inconsistent

Why would Embiid play tonight instead of Tomorrow?

Feels like we've played Charlotte 7 times this season. I'm fine losing.

We went 11 days with only 2 games. Now the next 11 days... 6 games. I doubt that Embiid plays more than 4 of those even if healthy. They might play him tonight instead of tomorrow just to spread out those 4 games more.

Somehow after all this mess, we're only 1.5 games out of the play-in. If everyone is healthy for the playoffs (ha!), then we'll have a shot. Everyone being healthy seems unlikely, and even if so we won't have a great shot. But it's a shot worth taking.

Maxey seems to have found his shot. or maybe it's just vs the hornets

Ricky is the best decision we made...take it from Arkansas

This team needs a real PG really bad. Once the shots aren't falling, the offense falls apart

Lowry lineup couldn’t score again. He needs to be replaced with someone functional. They should play Reggie Jackson over him for now.

We won a challenge! An omen that our luck has shifted!!!

You can see how good the trio of Maxey, PG, and Embiid can be once they get some continuity and timing down with each other. No reason at all why they shouldn't be able to get good looks each and every time on the offensive end. Put two reliable 3&D shooters around them and We'd be pretty good.

Thought Nurse was a tactician that would be willing try different things? Seems similar to Doc, loves his old vets

Ohhh that was pretty from Embiid

If I’m courtside, I’ll bring a banner that says, “We don’t like you anymore, but we don’t have a choice.”
