Embiid you are so lazy. Go make a decent closeout for once this quarter.

Nothing could decelerate development for Simmons/Embiid more than signing Lebron.

Would hate to see that happen. Let Ben grow naturally into what he'll be.

He reminds me of Lowry when he was with Memphis and Houston, where you could see the guy could really play when given a chance.

45.5% isn't really lights out considering the looks they've gotten to be honest. but yeah, big disparity in percentages tonight.

Those the last two plays were designed to move Embid out, he just decided to watch instead.

Jayson Tatum out here putting up 21 points on 15 shots while Markelle Fultz is putting up a nice DNP - Coaches' Decision.

Thank you Bryan Colangelo

Don't want to overreact or anything but Horford might be the greatest player of all time.

Sixers are going to have a rough future if they can't beat the C's without their three starters

Without ilyasova and bellinelli sixers are a different team.
Embiid can create his own shot.
Saric has his ways too. Nobody else can.
Where is fultz?
Ilyasova and belly were great signings for simmons.

I mean we didn't even get close to this amount of good looks against Bucks.
