What do we gain from this victory?

Morey better get us a top tier star with Ben not later than the deadline

But we take those I guess

Covid wins are the new "Brett only coaches losses"

I'm with it.

Well a win is a win but that was nonsense lol. 19 rebs for Boucher omg lol. Seriously thats why he doesnt play much when everyone is healthy Nurse cant stand him on the glass and defense he is built like a pencil. He is like Shaq with 3's against us lol. We are always terrible against athletic guy in the 6-8 to 6'11 range.

Short term morale. Might be counterproductive though because with each win, Morey has even less urgency to make a trade.

This isnt football you cant be a one way player lol. You have to at least be able to hit a wide open three occassionally. If he can help bring back something decent for Simmons Ill drive Matisse to the airport.

He held GTJ to 6/24 shooting, played terrific defense. Did u watch his defense against Steph? His defense is exactly what we're going to need for a title run, especially after we trade Simmons

I highly doubt that. No way Morey is watching this mess, W or L, and thinking "okay, we're all set".

Look. Raptors were without FVV, OG and barnes. We almost lost to them.

But sixers have been hit hard with Covid twice now. Have our top 8 rotation guys played more than 3-4 games together since the 8-2 start? We are missing green, Milton and Drummond.

So how many games have embiid, Harris, curry, Maxey , thybulle, green, Milton, niang , Drummond played together since the hot start to the season.

This is our first 2 game winning streak in 3 weeks and that was cause we beat a depleted charlotte team.

Every win increases his urgency to make a trade for dame but lowers his chances to make a trade for dame (draft pick’s value).

Sixers better land dame or a top tier player if they keep winning these meaningless games or else theyd regret all these by draft time

Raps missing guys but our small roster can make a long rangy PF look like bigger than what he is. And tonight we made Boucher look like Kevin Durant.

Morey certainly seems to be locked in on waiting for Harden, Beal, or Lillard.

Trolling fuels him. He has found an infinitely renewable source of trollium at home. Ben Simmons is gonna retire a Sixer.

Tobi doesnt know Embiid was referring 25 to how bad he can’t make a shot and not because of his triple double performance

It's pretty clear he isn't going to take back garbage that doesn't move the needle with the last real chip he has to work with. I'd rather see a picks package than players unless the players are difference makers, which might not be possible until the off season.

Okay win but how do we let a 180 pound scrub go for 28 and 19? Unbelievable!

The team is obviously too good to be low lotto, so do you really feel like the whole point of the season should be to have a #13 pick instead of a #20 one? Feel like we’re entering some strange territory when as a fan you can watch games for an entire season and spend the whole time not feeling the natural desire to compete and win so that we can have a small bump in our 3rd or 4th most valuable trade assets.

Lol at the thought of Morey wavering after we win or lose one of these pointless games.

Yup. And i dont know how to feel with this omicron thing and how this will affect the rest of the season. If this turns out to be a 2019-2020 season and we continue winning meaningless games and not ending up with Dame while going for another 1st-2nd round exit, that would hurt so bad
