Nope, Ariza got his foot stepped on and sprained, Nene has an Achilles thing that they weren't very clear on. Also both expected to miss friday. Not a great start!

Nene has a bad achilles? Haven't had a chance to catch any games or follow them much so far so didn't know that.

Hope it isn't anything serious.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Excellent end to the first half.

Has to be a little disheartening for the Sixers to have led most of the way but then surrender a double digit lead and trail at halftime.
Still has to be concerning for the Rockets though, to be down that much with Philly's best player on the bench with foul trouble.

Was at the game. Sat a few rows behind the buzzer beater. Eric Gordon fluked the crap out of Embiid!

But let me just say that this team is not better without Chris Paul.

As a sixers fan. Sixers just blew the game. Choked. Still a good shot by Gordon at the game.

But watch the end. Watch Harden pretend to break his fall but he’s really sneakingly push Embiid off balance to create space (hoping refs call a foul ). That’s why Embiid couldn’t react in time.

Well darn, if you ever want to catch a Sixers game let me know. I'm going to see OKC in December w/ a friend, and have a guy who sells tickets the row behind Philly's bench.
