Will someone please remove Presti's hand from under the skirt his puppet Royce!!! Presti is a terrible ventriloquist I can see his lips moving and clearly hear his voice!!! The really sad part is that this is the begging of the Presti campaign to keep Donovan.

Adams does to the locker room around the 6 minute mark. The dude sucks right now. I’m so sick of them running him into the ground. Give him two weeks off and quit acting like we’re trying to compete.

Gallo would fit so well on this sixers team but salary wise it would be impossible to make a trade with them.

I can live with sucking when shai plays well but he’s been pretty mediocre lately.

I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this, but over the last few games it seems like he went from patiently attacking off the dribble and using all kinds of moves to create lots of separation for an open shot, to just driving inside without a plan. As a result, he's much more predictable now.

He's already had a few turnovers from for the first quarter alone tonight that I don't think he would have committed earlier this season.

Bazley slamming on Embiid helps improve the apathy.

Good run. Thought Bazley might get swatted when he went up for that dunk.

No you aren’t the only one seeing it. He looks like he’s second guessing himself right now. Some of that is because the drives aren’t coming as easy because teams have adjusted. It might be a bit of a confidence issue too.

In my opinion the Sixers would look (even more) amazing with a true point guard (someone able to run an offense + shoot efficiently).

Ferguson has been more aggressive all night long. He’s had a couple of nice passes. I think it’s the new haircut.

He is really playing with confidence. I like him taking shots, he won't be shooting as good as tonight (on most nights), but him not passing up these shots/opportunities is really amazing.

Ball movement and energy is also awesome to watch tonight.

I expect us to lose this game, but I don't mind, they are playing how I was hoping they would.

Gallinari is definitely a player we could have used in the past, and even though I'm hoping(expecting he will be traded eventually I think it would help the development of our team if he is kept as long as possible (trade deadline) and won't be moved for peanuts too hastily (not having any playable forward would probably be really difficult to overcome - it already is problematic, in my opinion, that Diallo,Ferguson and sometimes SGA have to match up with way stronger/bigger guys).

Some of shai’s shot selection tonight hasn’t been very good. Were staring to see the effects of having a coach that is simply a yes man and not a teacher if the game. This is once again evidenced by our poor third quarter.

Well what do you know, a win against an upper echelon team. Shows how totally decent we could be if our SG played over his head like that.

Playing without a plan is the Billy Donovan special. I'm glad his coaching is finally working.

The story of this game for me was Ferguson. It wasn’t just a matter of him hitting his shots but being so much more decisive when to shoot. He had several really nice passes. He didn’t get the assist on one of them because Adams missed the shot. He also put the ball on the floor and went to the basket...and made the shot.,,with his LEFT hand. Ferguson strikes me as the kind of guy who he always about 3-4 missed shots away from losing complete confidence.
