Sure, since they've been exactly there all season long. Not like it took a 6-12 stretch since the IST (when they were 14-9) to get here or anything, lol.
5 games over. 6 games under. Looks like it all gravitates to the mean over time…. A .500 team.

Relatively healthy only among their Big 2 (or 3 if you include Reaves). Ham's inane substitution patterns and lineups haven't helped.

But hey, lean into your January standings if it helps you sleep at night. Certainly kept them down last season....oh, wait.
Great point. It’s a great plan to count on an impactful trade deadline every year to save the team from mediocrity. That will often happen at most trade deadlines.

They can be if they are healthy in the playoffs. They are going to have a horrible seed yet again but being healthy is more important.
Nah. That’s one of the worst outside shooting teams I’ve ever seen.

Just make sure every time you play them you are in desperation mode after a big losing streak.

No worries. Next game isn't until March 4th, who knows where things will stand by then (better or worse). At least it's in LA. After that, desperation would be guaranteed as it would be in the playoffs.

LOL. Lakers will make some move that will impact the roster in one direction or the other. That seems destined at this point. Almost as certain as Embiid playing fewer than 65 games and the Sixers bowing out before the ECF.

So different from last year
Is the West dog shit again this year? Cause that’s why they ended up in the Western Conference Finals last year. Believe me. I’d rather see a path of fluke trash for the Sixers to accomplish big goals instead of the Boston Celtics.

Philly at 37.3%.

Lakers at 35.7%.

Not a huge difference.
Yes it is when you add in the volume. Lakers are below the league average. That’s a horrible outside shooting team. LeBron is actually the team’s most reliable 3 point shooter. Yikes.

None of Philly's starters are hitting a higher 3 point % than Bron.

You aren't very good at this.

He's said publicly that he's not signing or promising anything until he hits FA.

He can say whatever he wants. The point still stands that I doubt he's passing up big money

Meh. Would be more interesting if it wasn't two homers trying to out-homer the other.

I would call it a homer and fair weather fan. Denver becomes relevant and thinks he is the shit lol

That’s why I called him the team’s most reliable 3 pt shooter. What do you think I said.

1) Basketball
2) Winning head to head

If Embiid was that much better than Jokic he'd have more MVP's.

I'm sure Jokic would rather lose the head2head and have that championship trophy instead.

But congrats on your moral victory. Will there be a parade?
