Post#1 » by whitehops » Wed Dec 13, 2023 5:10 pm

i'd be surprised if embiid didn't get 40/15 tonight...

let's hope for a competitive game if not a miracle of a win. i imagine our starters will be the same as monday.

Sixers are coming off a 45 point win in which they laid -13 to the Wizards at home.

Now on the road, they're laying -12 to us. Embarrassing. But maybe not a bad spot to take the points.

This is the first of a back-to-back home-and-home with Philly.

I think our next win will be against a playoff team and I hope it's tonight.

A lot that’s why I don’t give pistons a shot. Embiid always brings it vs them.

Looking ahead at the schedule, it becomes readily apparent that if the Pistons don't somehow, someway beat a playoff/play-in team, that they are going to end up setting the all-time record for futility.

Sixers
@Sixers
@Bucks
@Hawks
Utah
@Brooklyn
Brooklyn
@Celtics
Raptors

That is the record setting schedule. If they lose all these games, they will have the record, flat-out, no multi-season qualifiers. 29 in a row.

Their best shot is going to be that home game against Utah, then the home game against the Raptors, then the road game against the Hawks.

After that Raptors game, the Pistons go out West on a 4 game road trip, that will absolutely extend this miserable streak, so if they have any hope of getting a win, they need to pull out all the stops, or who knows when this run ends.

Awesome, Killian the Great is starting again :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:

If us fans have to suffer through a 20+ game losing streak, we should at least get to see a more appealing brand of basketball than what Killian offers.

I’ll give it to him, he’s had some nice games this year but I don’t see him as more than a role player and I’d rather enjoy seeing Jaden Ivey’s potential.

So we are all bearing witness to the coming out party of James Wisemen. Embiid cant handle him! (how I wish this were the case) that being said Wisemen is weird, he jumps forward primarily with very little elevation, I wonder if thats the main reason he has trouble getting blocks.

So you're saying your not a believer? HERESY! I wonder if we could get a top 55 protected for him.

he averages the most free throws in the league, it was almost inevitable especially since we're undersized today.

Ivey stands in the corner while we watch Killian Hayes be a first option for 5 straight minutes.

Defense is blah and 76ers getting every roll on the rim too.

Offense just has no rythym at all.

Monty using him like he's PJ Tucker on offense. That man is just trying to get fired.

It only a 14pt game but it feels like they have no chance to win this. The team is so bad on both sides.
