For those that trash Doc (I do it a lot too), he made an incredibly smart adjustment by putting PJ Tucker on Jokic in the second half. He became less of a problem for us because of that. That late third quarter run was absolutely huge and once Niang made that one handed push three with 1 second left on the shot clock, I knew we had a chance. Great win, great comeback. There's nothing this team can't do at this point. We've beaten the best teams in this league. I know it's regular season, but we're proving that we belong.

This is the type of game you have witness when talking about PJ. He can and has proven to change the tide in critical games.

He's definitely not paid per good idea

Best win of the year, and the kind of statement game that makes you start to believe that it might be different this time. Embiid made a pretty definitive statement of his own about both Jokic and the all-star game in the best way possible, by kicking ass on the court and in a big win.

Whoever came up with the Tucker on Jokic move, just a brilliant stroke. Guess I have to give Glenn credit since he has to make the call. Is it possible that the Sixers created a blueprint on how to neutralize Jokic?

18 rebounds for Embiid today....We've all been complaining about that lately...I like seeing 18 rebounds from him. He put in work today and he did it without living at the free throw line.

Great game by Embiid and company, the step back three is an instant classic.

I do like when he's disrespected, never be comfortable. I wouldn't be surprised if he is close to 40 a game for the rest of the season when needed.

He also made a point about saying going for the #1 seed. Just stay healthy.

Awesome game, this matters more than if they lose to the Magic (don’t do that though)

Embiid was by far the best player on the court today. Forget the stats. That was really good basketball.

Good game, you guys definitely took over in that 2nd half, Embiid flexing his muscle.

Bucks fan here.

Man, this team is fun to watch. I love Maxey and PJ. Embiid is an obvious MVP candidate. People can hate all they want but this team has as good of a title shot as any. Good luck for the rest of the season. Hopefully both of our teams can stay relatively healthy this year.

Putting PJ on Joker in the 2nd half changed the dynamics of the game.

Mutiple comebacks this season is surely a sign of a contender.

Apparently Jokic is the only big slow white dude that Joel has no problem with.

Also, shout out to Niang. We were floundering at the end of the 3rd and he hit some massive 3s to flip the momentum.

This was the perfect blue print of what they need to do in the second half

Played defense at elite level

Embiid coocked and let harden run the offense and he was getting great looks all out throughout the second half

Harden was looking to get everyone good looks. He got Tobias in particular going

Tobias in the second half went aggressive mode and was terrific at attacking the close outs by taking to the hole or hitting his threes. Plus his defense was critical on Murray in the second half

Tucker the unsung hero tonight, he destroyed the much bigger and skilled Jokic. Kept him from establishing any position . Amazing defensive master class.

That should be a blue print from here on

Yep, pretty simple. He will come in handy in the playoffs vs KD, Giannis, Tatum, Butler, etc. He won't shut them down, but he will do enough to help out.
