This feels like a Paul George game. We're out west, he seems to play better against the west coast teams. Sixers win? Or does Portland prevail? They're tougher than their record indicates.

Isn’t it sad We have to ask that question but that’s where we’re at now - and NBA wonders why their ratings are tanking . Lol

Its sports betting’s way of manipulating the market

This team is unmatched when it comes to profiting from fans through betting. The front office always knows who’s playing or not, expertly builds offseason hype only to underperform, and when they have a mediocre offseason, they somehow find ways to overperform.

Coincidence? Maybe not.

Drummond, Gordon, and Lowry are out

It sure would be nice to have a game where they're firing on all cylinders and just boat race a bad team. I'm talking up 25 after 3.

This is the kind of game that makes you question if it’s time to completely rebuild the team if we lose.

I agree, but I also don’t need this energy while fighting to stay up to watch a 10pm tipoff lol

Jackson, Council, Yabu and Bona are the bench. Hope Bona can show something.

Shouts out to the EPOW, Maxey. Let's go into 2025 as winners boys

Wouldn’t read that much into it. Losses in weird far road games against teams with some legit talent happen.

They’re done. No way that D holds up in the playoffs. Hope they win the #1 seed as they’re very likely to get bounced in the divisional round, giving Eagles home field in the NFC Championship game.

Oubre locking down low post

Really strong defense so far

I feel like PG must be enjoying his time here. He’s getting to basically do what he wants on offense. Defense he looks good as ever. Embiid and Maxey are floating him on offense while he figures out his shot.

Iscull · Post #18 » by **Iscull** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:31 am

Bad foul by PG

Iscull · Post #19 » by **Iscull** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:44 am

Deni Avdija Is pretty good

HotelVitale · Post #20 » by **HotelVitale** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 3:48 am

We look good/skilled in general through first q tonight but a) keep making dumb decisions and b) cannot play without one of Maxey, PG, and Embiid, ever.
