Embiid out, Okafor will play

Hibbert probably out, Lamb out

Everybody make sure to check your buzz levels. If you're below a 7 or above a 9 you've got 24 hours to get calibrated.

Anything less than a 7 you'll be in Jeremy Lamb territory. Anything above 9 and you're in Biz territory. Try and settle in right around a smooth Marvin Williams level 8 for the game tomorrow for the optimal buzz.

This is a good example of what can happen when your buzz levels get too high:

Here's a pic of 2016-17 Honeybee Helen Ann so you guys can raise your buzz levels if need be.

On a more serious note, there should be virtually no chance we lose this game. Philly has actually been competitive when Embiid is on the floor, but absolutely horrid when hes not. If he was playing this game they'd have small chance if we had a cold shooting night, because Embiid would give us all kinds of problems. I've been watching as many Philly games as I can and I can't get over how impressive he is. Tonight he had 18/10/3/0/4 in 25 minutes matching up against Vucevic, Ibaka, and Biz. The game the other day against Atlanta he had 14 points in 15 minutes and both Howard and Mislap looked completely over matched. The best way I can describe him is to say imagine if Hassan Whiteside was more mobile, more coordinated, had vision and passing ability, could take his man of the dribble and get all the way to the rim with euro steps or pull up from midrange, and had legit post moves and fantastic foot work. Its just crazy how big, strong, mobile, and skilled this dude is. I'm going to hate it so much if he can't stay healthy.

Yeah, Embiid has been fun to watch. Loved that he christened the game the other night against ATL with a smooth looking 3. It almost felt like it triggered a 'WTF are we watching' moment from the Hawks.

I'm going to be in the house tonight! I got some lowers since it's Philly and apparently nobody besides me is willing to watch us play Philly on a Wednesday night.

I bet Gerald Henderson of the Sixers will be in good spirits tonight. He gets to see his old buddy Kemba. It'll be interesting to see how he plays.

Normally I would be on here cautioning against getting to cocky about a sure win vs a bad team. However, Philly is on the 2nd night of a back to back, second game of back to back on road, w/out their best player and we are coming off 3 days of rest at home. To lose this game at home tonight would be a massive, massive disappointment and something that all of us should be really upset about and the team should get blistered by fans and media.

MKG vs Hendo would be a fun matchup to watch. Although I suspect MKG will start vs Covington with Batum on Hendo, only because MKG is better at chasing 3pt shooters around the floor, while Batum should be able to handle Hendo's iso, mid-range game.

I don't think Ilyasova is going to play tonight, FYI.

I saw courtside seats going for $400 a piece for tonight last week. Lowest I've seen them ever really. I seriously contemplated jumping on them until realizing they were on a back to back and Embiid probably wouldn't play. Good thing I didn't for myself and my marriage.

I got really decent lowers for $25 a piece. I've never sat this close to a professional sporting event in my life, I'm really excited.

Their PGs are atrocious, especially on D. Hendo is their best guard, but hes still Hendo and not going to hurt us too much with his Hobe shots. Covington is talented and can shoot but his weaknesses and mental game really stands out when playing with Phillys terrible no Embiid/Okafor/Simmons lineups. Saric is a very nice player, but more of a glue guy who isnt anything to worry about when hes playing with bad players. Okafor is active but i thought i read that they actually werent planning on playing him, but i could be wrong about that. There bench is aboit as bad as it gets. Basically, there is literally no excuse for us to not easily win this game.
