As expected with Horford, would guess Hill ends up missing most B2B

Not ready to watch Muscala playing 35 MPG

More playing time for Maledon, that's nice. Probably more minutes for Poku as well, no clue if this is good or not.

No clue who is our franchise player anymore...Dort or Roby?

I can't believe a Theo-Diallo-Poku-Kenrich-Muscala lineup just erased an 8 point deficit to take the lead

I think I have more confidence in a Dort three than one from poku.

Not related to our game, but man the Wizards are in a bad place. Brooks probably won't last long if this keeps up

I want SGA to attack the paint like this

It's crazy that we have a shot to beat Orlando without Hill & Horford

I wonder how long vuc’s ankle recovery will take.

Roby pulling out moves tonight I never would've thought he had

It’s been such a weird game. I thought we would get blown out. I thought bazley would play well. Our second leading scorer is a second year guy who had 11 total minutes played in his career.

Roby was supposed to be our tank commander but he played well.

Like what I saw from SGA...very efficient game. wish he was a bit more selfish sometimes but he did well.

Dort is on fire giving 100% right now.

Poku with more points than his season average will be

Anyone else surprised by the starters being Roby and Jackson after receiving no minutes the first 2 games?

I confess I definitely thought Roby was just a throw in piece who would never see the floor last season when they acquired him. But he can definitely play a little. Seems like the sort of guy that might (might) develop into a decent pro. Really interesting physical profile. He's big enough to play down low but agile enough to operate from the perimeter a bit.

Going back to the Billy days he always seemed to replace a starter with an end of bench player. I think Dort got the start when Ferguson went out and kept Schroder on the bench. There are some other examples too. With coach D, I guess the Apple doesn’t far from the tree.

That Poku shot looks totally busted to me. He shoots it from about his chest. It has very little arc on it. No wonder so many of them front rim. Hopefully in the offseason the guy works with a shooting coach and starts over on that form.

Game reminded me of the fact that no matter who was on the floor for the process 76ers, they would usually score 90+ points. Random guys like Henry Sims and Hollis Thompson would go off from time to time, so I'm chalking this game for Roby up to that as of now.

A bit surprised how competitive we've been so far through 3 games regardless of who's been playing, although that's likely sample size as much as anything.

That's going all the way back to the Scott Brooks days. I can remember Thabo being out a game here and there and everyone assuming Harden would start only to see some end of the bench jobber thrown in there.
