Niang is so lights out. Feels good having a knockdown shooter with this group. Would love another.

We would win this game with Jojo, but of course we are supposed to accept him sitting out.

This is a game we should and are supposed to win, which is why none of us care. But we might lose, you have to ask why


If he played and looked like **** because he was sick, people would blame him as well. Can't really win. Either he plays, and is ****, which he usually is, as he doesn't have the Jordan flu game in him. Or he doesn't play, and people are frustrated with that.

At this point, it's complaining to just complain. The teams deficiencies is far more related to our "amazing additions this year", Doc, Tyrese not getting enough usage, terrible defense, and non existant bench.

Joel absolutely has room to improve, but he is not the reason why we are an average team right now.

Glad I mentioned Trezz, double figure scorer is whole career, and we haven't seen it.

This second unit needs work, let's hope they can get it together

Good energy and defense from Harrell so far.

Poor team defense is the reason we are hopefully gonna be 4-4 after this last quarter

We give up too many fast break points and don’t get enough on our end

Cut down on the careless TOs

Really solid play from Harrell good pickup. Doc is finally staggering Maxey and it’s paying off

He has always been that, but now he's not the 6th man like last year, he is probably the 8th off the bench.

Perfect for his ability

Nice to see Trez get it going. He’s smart & competitive but he was looking washed around the rim.

Edit - of course I post that 1 second before Trez looks awful on a 1v1 fastbreak lol

This is the game that we don't pay attention to, but we can look to the bench squad for Trezz

I was hoping for the lead to get bigger so Harden can rest..

We better not piss this one away. Maxey should have stayed aggressive but I can see why they let Niang launch those with his hot hand. Time to attack the rim

I'm still not seeing Danuel House is doing out there, he's earning his way out the rotation IMO.

Return to Philadelphia 76ers
