The Sixers are in the East. If the Embiid and Simmons stay healthy, which is certainly a big if, then the Sixers COULD wing 48-50 games?

Is that going to happen? Probably not. But I they could certainly be the 4th or 5th best team in the league if they stay healthy.

Embiid didn't even stay healthy and they still got to 50. They wildly exceeded my expectations.

Good time to be a Philly fan. And not just NBA. You guys have it all right now.

Pretty happy with how the Sixers played tonight. Especially Simmons. Posting a double double in your first NBA game with 5 assists as well is a pretty solid start to your NBA career.

If Embiid and Simmons stay healthy the Sixers could be a 48-50 win team. Still probably the the 4th or 5th best team in the conference but a team to contend with.

Settle down. 50 is really really pushing it. I love the talent there and they actually have some good vets with Redick, Bayless, and Johnson, but young teams don't win shit. And this is still a pretty darn young team. I could see them getting 6th because its the East, but that win total you listed seems excessive. 42 to 43 feels like the ceiling.

Don't listen to idiots like that asshole. This place is full of haters

LOL. Honestly your opinion was pretty reasonable and more consistent with historical trends.
