Call me crazy, but I think we see some Paul Reed this game :D

This one has “L” written all over it, but we usually beat them and we’re the Sixers so who knows…

Go Sixers

This would be a perfect game to sit Harden, but because of three losses in a row that won't be happening.

I thought Paul got sent down? Perhaps I’m wrong. Can’t see a win here they are ultra athletic and that’s bad for us. Not to be a Debbie downer but I see a struggling down the stretch and going out in the first round.

This game will be interesting because I'm willing to bet teams like Charlotte have become aware that the Sixers lack an ability to respond to other teams' intensity and believe they can win this game if they simply ratchet up their effort sufficiently. It's like a boxer who knows his opponent has been hurt and is wobbled and goes in for the kill, knowing there will be no threat of an effective counterpunch under those conditions. The Pistons sensed it the other night and unfortunately it's becoming the Sixers' identity, which makes it become well-known among teams league-wide.

Contrast that with how teams are likely viewing the Milwaukee Bucks right now, as they routinely rise to the occasion and defeat good teams despite those teams' best efforts. Nobody is going into a game with them smelling blood.

The PnR is unstoppable at times. Idk why they go away from it for such long stretches

That identity is typical of a team trying to figure things out. This team is trying to figure out lineups, defense, and offense

It’s almost like they are trying to lose intentionally these “turnovers” are suspect

This Tobias led bench lineup that Doc went to a few games ago is looking good

Just to give some credit to doc. The idea of making Tobias a corner shoter has worked pretty well

Win or lose, this is the last game I'm watching until the playoffs. I'm bored out of my mind watching these games. They just are not a fun watch right now.

I want to see Danny starting over Thybulle come the playoffs. We simply can’t afford him bogging down the offense and hacking when it matters.
