That

We play 2 games on a row against the Heat who was spanked by the Cavs and lost against the All-mighty Hornets

Bet the farm on Miami in this one. The Sixers are coming off of two high-adrenaline games in a row, the second of which was demoralizing.

Meh, Celtics didn't even try in that game, Tatum was just clowning around until he decided enough is enough.

Nope the 76ers are going to come out on a mission. If you bet your farm you will be farmless.

I would cut reed for Barton. We gonna need more offensive firepower. I would bank on Dedmon,Tucker and Harrell at back up 5

Fun fact: This the first of 4 games in 6 days in 4 cities separated by 1,000 miles each. Thanks NBA.

It'd be nice to make a statement against the team that easily knocked us out of the playoffs last year. Beating them twice would be even sweeter.

That's what I suspect will make this a flat game emotionally for the Sixers -- there is no statement to be made by beating this year's Heat. The statement needed to be made Saturday, and this game pales in comparison. The Heat will come to play highly inspired, and it'll be tough for the Sixers to ratchet themselves up to the level needed to combat that once again, having played at that level in the past two games. This could very well be an "exhuasted Embiid" game, and in fact the entire team could look that way as well. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a blowout.

Yeah, I don’t have a great feeling about this one, but hoping for the best.

Look, all I said was I hope we win. Jesus Christ dude! We get it! You're negative.

they have a lot of random shooty guys.

hope we don't let one of them get hot

We're objective, that is all. I've seen no indication from this team that "this time it will be different".

lol PJ was playing the best defense on that Harden drive

Cut Harrell, Reed is young and has some value. He also defends better in spurts.

They're 28th in 3p shooting, which means they're obviously gonna be lights out tonight because sixers

random shooty guy is generally not a great shooter until they play us

lost in Maxey being buns is that Melton and Shake also has been buns

Murray_17 · Post #20 » by **Murray_17** » Tue Feb 28, 2023 12:30 am

Shake isn't even in the rotation right now. doc is gonna doc lol

Maxey is trap between not seen the ball and trying too hard i think
