Good win for the Sixers finally beating the Celtics, sans Kyrie.
Yeah... first time I really saw Embiid play to his potential against Boston... other games he was more passive... or gunning 3's... today, he was all business.

One of the Magic player's has something DEAD flopping around on his head. Surprised he doesn't notice it.

He must have been amped about being name an All-Star starter.

Y'alls coach should nail his @ss to the post every game.

The Sixers need to be more consistent at the perimeter for that. Otherwise teams just crash down on him.

Simmons and Embiid are still trying to figure out how to run the team. That's the problem when you have a really young team.

Fair enough.

I saw Bayless hoist a couple of horrible brick shots in this one... I don't remember him being quite so crappy when he was on Boston.

Bayless has been pretty poor for the Sixers so far. Their whole bench has been lackluster, except McConnell to some degree.

What's interesting to me is that the Sixers played the inside game more today with Reddick, naturally, and it seemed to be effective. The Sixers are a BIG team. Their starters are 6'9" or taller except for Reddick. Perhaps they should be focusing more on the inside game and less on 3 point shooting.

Nice win by the Sixers. Need to beat these teams when their stars are out. Thanks Pop!

Interesting tidbit :
Sixers have arguably had the toughest schedule so far.
However, after tonight, they have zero games remaining against GSW, TOR, BOS, and HOU, the four best teams in the league by WIN%. Of the next three best teams, they have one against SAS, one against MIN, and two against CLE.

Sixers are 3-9 against the top 4 teams and 5-11 against the top 7 teams.
That means they are 16-9 against the rest of the league, of which they have 37 of 41 games remaining.

Now, about these turnovers....

You a believer now?

STUD.

This kid is legit and nobody should be surprised if he gets ROY.

Ben does more on the court, boards, dimes...

But, he's not the Alpha.

That's Embiid.

Mitchell is carrying the Jazz.

How can he carry them when.......









the Jazz suck?
