Emotional weekend with Saturday's Joel masterclass/comeback win over Denver and then the Eagles punching their ticket to SB LVII. Saw Harden, Embiid, Maxey and others were at the Birds game yesterday. Not saying this game is a trap game, but Orlando has a roster of talent, who recently took it to Boston, beating the C's by 15 a week ago.

However, the Magic are pretty young and inexperienced. Putrid on the road and not to mention we blew them out by 30 in November without Embiid, Harden, and Maxey.

Still gotta show up and preserve the winning streak. Currently 2.5 GB Boston for the top spot.

Trust the juju.

Trap game for sure. Thing is they don't really have that type of guard that can scorch us for 40. I mean they have Fultz who is doing some nice things for them, and Cole Anthony can get his off the bench. Bol Bol will be who I want to watch play, but he's been relegated to the reserves and isn't playing as much now....Poor guy really needs to be traded to us. John Issac is back, wonder if he goes tonight. Magic have a ton of size, this wont be easy.

gonna rest on our laurels one of these two games more than likely.

its human nature especially after two "big" games back to back

They have a lot of length and athleticism which usually gives us problems. At the same time, we’re in a pretty good groove and they’re gonna struggle to guard the PnR. I think we ultimately pull away in crunch time.

Embiid can't take too many games off if he has MVP aspirations. He has already missed quite a few games.

we lost two games after Harden came back, won 8 on a row, lose another two and are currently on a 7 winning streak.

So i guess we win today and lose the next and then go on another 8 game streak lol

This will be a bad game from Embiid. Worth noting that I said the same two days ago FWIW.

Need to win these games we're favored in. End of season schedule is brutal so gotta make the move on #1 now.

Is Embiid even playing? If not then Harden will have to step up for sure in a scoring sense. Reed better get the most minutes on center and ball out.

Oh Embiid should play, the main goal has to be to win MVP, games played can't be an argument against him anymore.

Sixers goal is win 50 or more regular season game be healthy for playoff and win the nba Finals
Regular season mvp means **** if Sixers do not win the Finals

All of a sudden we can play defense again, it's the magic but good to see

Murray_17 · Post #16 » by **Murray_17** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:25 am

Joel really came to defend today, he's contesting everything

Jailblazers7 · Post #17 » by **Jailblazers7** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:34 am

That no call for Suggs should have been a flagrant lol

Bum Adebayo · Post #18 » by **Bum Adebayo** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:34 am

Now this is the game I like to see, only 1 3pt made between both teams in 11 minutes!

Mik317 · Post #19 » by **Mik317** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:35 am

I don't think Reed is the answer either and generally Doc has been doing the right things lately

BUT Trez getting consistent run after two terrible ass **** performances is exactly why people **** on Doc

Negrodamus · Post #20 » by **Negrodamus** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:35 am

Missed the beginning, are the fans booing every time Fultz touches the ball?

Place your bets!
