This Sixers team is a wagon.

Well they can only play the teams on their schedule. And they are eviscerating these bad teams like they're supposed to.

Shouldn’t a wagon manage to be at least be .500 against good teams?

I don't think the Sixers are a wagon but I respect how they're trampling on the bad teams as they're supposed to. Like obliterating them. Still annoyed with the Cs performance against the Grizzlies and how they lost to the Hornets, Melo or not. They don't put away teams in the 3rd and just let them hang around. Hawks and Raps games come to mind. Resting starters in the 4th (the way Embiid is doing) would be nice so we won't hear anymore about how Tatum is playing too many minutes.

I’m going to need Keenan Murray to simmer all the way down before we play them.

He set an NBA record 11 3s in a row vs the Jazz yesterday! Total 12 in the game. Klay’s record of 14 in one game still stands.

Steph was impressed and left to watch the game after his press conference. As Steph stated, it’s probably a matter of time before Klay’s record is broken considering the amount of threes taken in today’s league.

With the schedule imbalance mainly due to the in season tournament, compared to Boston, Philly will end up with an extra game against the Pistons, Hornets, Cavs and Heat. During those four games, the Celtics will play the Pacers twice, the Bucks and the Knicks. Guess who got screwed ?

It doesn't matter anyway. The seeding looks like it will put Boston and Philly on course to meet in the conference finals and the Sixers never get past the second round so it's not going to be the Celtics problem this year.

W o w.. I had no idea 11 in a row would be a record.

Letting go of Grant Williams was the smart move by Brad. He has regressed since 21-22, looks fatter, and can’t shoot fts anymore after that Imma Make Both debacle.

Most importantly, it’s allowed Sam to flourish who is improving on both ends.

Feel sorry for Smart especially silly since injuries seem to be catching up to him but it’s the same story with him. White has become an elite two way guard.

Brogdon and RW are in purgatory in Portland. RW’s career may be over as an impact player, and Malcolm is a walking injury.

Didn't Evan Fournier make 10 in a row (not all in one game) in his brief stint in Boston?

My bucs have found their way, I was hurting for a while. things are looking up for my sports life!

The Bucks have been ridiculous since their clunky start. Just put up 71 in a half against Ime's Rockets. Maybe Adrian Griffin is the GOAT coach after all.

I would say they are a wagon.
