Unfortunately, I bought these tickets during happier times (in August). If LeBron doesn't play tonight, I'm jumping into the Delaware and I'm not coming back out.

Are we or aren't we? Unfortunately I don't think we get it done tonight which will only reinforce the need to tank the season. If we do somehow win, maybe we'll have turned a corner, but it's getting to the now or never part of this season with us. Maxey has been playing out of his mind lately. Great players will always give their team a chance. It also seems to be the Philly way ever since I've been a fan. It'll be on Maxey to carry us, but we need to play with purpose. The offense has looked much better over the last two weeks so that's encouraging. I want to win, I'd love to go on a streak. We have a six game home stand. Above all that, I just want some clarity on WTF the actual plan is. One way or another...Winning, losing, let's be consistent about it.

Lakers are a very inconsistent team, plus they are playing on a 2nd night of a back to back.


If we are locked in, making open shots and playing with energy/pace, we can win this.

Just need...looking at notes, "Eric Gordon, who is shooting nearly 50% from 3-point range in 14 games in January"

just need EG to take 30x 3s and its a wrap. Morey analytics.

I might take a peek at the game tonight just to see Knecht if he's getting minutes.

I got big money on the Sixers tonight plus the points as underdogs cause the Lakers will be sitting so many key players due to the back 2 back. Maxey will have a field day!!!

Time to win some moolah on the side!

I think Dalton is out too so will they need to play Bronny, since most fans want to watch play anyways. We will win so easily tonight!

Gotta make a trade for expiring so we can sign Yabu longterm this off-season.

Smart move to play Bronny with LeBron tonight. Gets the views, but good god Bronny is nowhere near an NBA player.

It takes time but Bronny is so playing with his dad now. Like father, like son...

Since Bronny is playing the unthinkable has happened: Lowry is not the worst player on the court!

Something switched on in Maxey. Even the players around him are playing better. Eric Gordon has been noticeably good for us these last three games. Gordon has always been one of my favorite players in the game. Glad to have him but I wish he was ten years younger.

Where the Maxey haters at? Dude is a legit #1 option right now. He's figured it out.

I swear if they send Council back down to the G I'm gonna throw a fit. No reason at all why he can't be a rotational player for us.
