Still not roped in yet, would require a 10 game win streak

We owe them. I was at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert in early December and leaving after the show and seeing we lost to the freakin Bulls. Talk about ruining the Christmas spirit! At least they have gone younger now.

7 out of the next 10 are very winnable games assuming that we split 1-1 against the Sixers.

Bulls have lost three in a row, but find themselves losing ground in the tankfest as Memphis and Brooklyn have lost 9 and 8 straight, respectively.

The bottom eight teams are on a collective 44-game losing streak.

Any win against the 6ers would be shocking to me. We match up terribly against them on paper and Embiid completely overmatches Howard. Not trying to knock Howard. The entire league is helpless against healthy Embiid.

I'm really looking forward to watching an Embiid - Howard matchup. Don't necessarily expect it to go well, just really curious how it'll go.

I honestly don’t think the Sixers have enough offensive firepower to beat us if we’re well coached. I like our chances against them in a best of 4 series. Embiid gonna get his but it’s up to Clifford to use Cody if Embiid’s outside shot is killing Dwight. I think Cody running around like a chicken with his head cut off would tire Embiid out. Also Embiid may struggle defending someone as physical as Dwight in the paint.

I'm a bit worried Cody would get murdered Demarcus Cousins 1.26.16 style inside against Embiid.

Bigs like Embiid, Whiteside, Drummond, and Boogie are exactly why I like having Howard here. Cody just isn't on those guys level physically. I think Dwight will do pretty well against Embiid.

Yep, there really isn't an answer to Embiid. Dwight theoretically should be better suited to face Embiid, but his mental game could limit him if getting manhandled by Embiid like I've seen happen in the past gets into his head. Cody can bring the consistent effort and do the fundamental things you need to do to have a chance, but hes just so over-matched physically. Embiid is outrageously talented in just about every aspect.

I still remember how helpless Cody looked against Whiteside in the playoffs. Cody is easily the shortest 7fter I’ve ever seen. With that said Embiid may play around with him in the paint like below.

Looks like MKG is hobbled. Hope it’s nothing serious.

I hope this means more minutes for Lamb and not more minutes for MCW/Graham. I do wanna see Graham tho.

Batum and MCW scuffed up the end of that quarter.

MCW should be banned from shooting 3s.

MCW is slaughtering us.
