I saw some commentator online says it looks like he's part a Bugs Bunny cartoon and opened an exploding box. :lol:

IMO that’s just normal “fake comeback” stuff.

We know it all too well, but it’s nice to be on the other side.

Not really.

The 76ers have 4 comeback wins in the 4th Q of 10 or more points this year. And 4 is the record for an entire year. So they have shown they can be down by a bunch and get hot shooting and and take the win.

Was a good win.

Quickley had a slow start, but he has been fantastic recently. He's hitting shots, playing defense, going after rebounds, and passing the ball really well. He has surprisingly become a decently versatile guard.

I don't think IQ gets enough credit for transitioning from a bench microwave scorer to a legit starting caliber point guard. Kid is a hard worker.

not worth 32.5M, but more so 23-25M which isn't too bad

I don’t think you understand the difference between spamming negativity vs talking about the games guys play based on that game lol

you posted a backhanded compliment.
when it comes to upgrading to all-nba talent, none of our starting 5 should be off the table.


The only way we get an upgrade our starting 5 to all-NBA talent is if we trade for an all-star mid-season. That almost never happens. This article says only 8 times in the past 15 years and 3 of those times were the Nets dumping Kyrie, KD and Harden, with each of the teams that acquired them paying huge prices and none of them winning. It's hella easy to say but a whole lot tougher to do, and even more unlikely to be worth it in the end.

Yah, I don't get excited about let's trade this starter or that starter. Circumstances have to be unique for an all-star, not having a troubling injury history, to be available.

A backup center, however, may be available from a team that throws in the towel and wants to tank.

Great poise last night.

Had a big lead, Philly made the comeback, and the team seemed calm and confident.

I also a stat we are 3rd in the league in assists...shows that Darko's philosophies are starting to work. And it's impressive considering Barrett and Ingram have historically been ball stoppers, and now are playing much more unselfish.

I'm really impressed by our ball movement, Barnes is really finding his spots now and I think Darko has truly unlocked him. He isn't bringing the ball up but is playing a bit like Giannis in a sense, and Barnes is the better passer.

low-key Battle can move his feet and knows not to jump on fakes, he uses angles well, has a counter move now to fake and dribble stop pull up or push shot.. I'm good with trading Ochai and Walter if we need to.

I find it laughable if anyone thinks Bobby is watching this right now and thinking "we're ready to take a leap, time to put Scottie on the table".

Was I seeing things or was Grady actually decent/good on defense?

I think we all had this at the top of the list as a development perk for him, but seeing it happening is kinda surprising!

The NBA is having a bit of a hair moment with Jaylen Brown's shoe polish antics.

Ok wow, he didn't play, I got confused because the yahoo sports article about Drummonds hair said this::

The strong outing came on a night when several of Philadelphia’s key contributors excelled. Tyrese Maxey erupted for 39 points, continuing to prove he’s one of the NBA’s most dynamic young guards. Paul George added 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, offering his usual two-way reliability as he grows more comfortable in the Sixers’ system.


Then I realize now that's from the clippers game sheesh I'm out of it
