Should be a solid 20 point loss.

Good call.

Talent wise, don't see 1 position in the starting 5 where I would choose a Celtic. On offense, the Sixers no longer have any weak links. On defense, they are too long and strong and not even a cohesive unit yet. LOL

They are winning on talent alone right now. And share the ball better than most teams in the league. Bench has acquired more reliable veterans & improved at the backup center (Boban) wing position (J Simmons & J Ennis) & power forward (Mike Scott) positions. They are not world beaters but can hold the fort enough, as they were not getting much of anything before from the bench, offensively or defensively.

Right now, it's hard to get a big run on this team, as there are 2 all stars types on the floor at all times. Basically, they take turns scoring and distribute the wealth pretty evenly because they will exploit your weakness as the game develops. I see a somewhat tight game here til half time. Sixers pull away by end of game with a 15 point victory. This will be a demoralizing loss for the Celtics. You will learn tonight that things are different now in the Eastern Conference.

Lol, this definitely was a demoralizing loss

By far the best road win of the season. Every other win not named the Thunder was very meh

How long are they going to do this Players Only experiment. Literally no one likes it. At least the Celtics game had McHale who can be decent, but just listening to this GS game and they've already missed the first three possessions without saying anything yet.

Fixed the end for you.

I just love to stick it to Philadelphia. Especially when our boys have been drooping deuces lately. I’m sure the GB is fantastic right now.

I think Philly shoulda dropped some confetti for that after the buzzer Butler brick.

I've been a lurker all of these years. But It's a good time to be a Sixers fan & appreciate this fun squad we've put together. Long time coming. It's sweet!! Enjoy the game tonight. Maybe you will show your face after. Will see.

Maybe you will show your face after?

Their crowd blows. Guess that's what happens to a fanbase when your franchise's mantra is to lose as many games as possible for the better part of a decade.

Toughest decision of the year for me. Horford's defense on Embiid was huge.

This is our best road win of the season. Given the trade deadline, and losing two games we should've won.

This by NO means we are better without Kyrie.

I LOVE beating this Philly team EVERY. GOD. DAMN. TIME!

Not so different, it seems.
