[Jack Straw]

Looks pretty good to me so far.

Looks pretty good to me so far.

Just add it to the list of times ESP has embarrassed himself.

Despite the fact that the Raptors aren’t playing, this is a pretty damn good basketball game.

 

[AaronTrieu]

Shock clock violation after a timeout is a Brett brown special talent. Starters were on the floor

 

[Jack Straw]

Doc Rivers really working the refs tonight

 

[Lotusflower]

Great game very exciting.

 

[Jack Straw]

Weird traveling call on JRich. I thought the gather was allowed.

 

[Jack Straw]

This feels like a playoff game

 

[Jack Straw]

Morris with a hip check worthy of Eddie van Impe

 

[Jack Straw]

Rejected with feeling

Super fun atmosphere. If you booed Embiid, you're beyond help.

If only they could replicate that performance consistently on the road.

Still think if the team doesn’t implode before April, this team is going to be a tough out in the playoffs. Individually they should be able to matchup with anyone defensively once they shorten the rotation.

 

[Embiid]

I kind of missed the game....they had it on at the bar I was at but couldn't be antisocial...looked like an exciting game. Can somebody give a brief synopsis?

I hope they can turn it around on the road soon!

Really good game. Sixers led pretty much the whole way. Simmons and Embiid both showed up big time. They moved Horford to the bench in relief of Embiid and that looked really good. Korkmaz went cold but otherwise a very strong game by pretty much everyone. Really intense, hard fought game by both teams.

Simply put, Joel and Simmons collectively cooked some asses tonight. Great all around team win. Bench is so much better with Horford, Robinson and Burks on it. Scott and Shake are garbage.

Yeah I noticed the times I was catching a glimpse that Simmons and Embiid seemed to be wreaking havoc. Very encouraging especially if they can carry it over on the road. Nice to hear the new additions look good so far..

I really needed a game like this tonight. Earlier today I found out that my oldest dog (11 yr old Husky) has cancer. It’s spread to his lungs and the vet says there’s nothing they can really do except make him comfortable for whatever time he has left. So it’s been a pretty awful day today and a good Sixers game at least helped take my mind off it for a little bit.

Embiid just liked this tweet

One of Simmons' better NBA performances. Youre not going to see much better modern era NBA defense than that.
42 grueling minutes as the shadow of George+Kawhi.
There might not be another player in the league who could defend two top 10 players and still give you primary ballhandler usage on the other end.
Probably the best point of attack defender in the league right now.

Not shocking that he and Jo have good games simultaneously when they use the 2 man game like they did tonight.
Saw Several PnR's and a lot of low tohigh passing. Shouldve been the basis of this offense 2 years ago.
What I liked is he stayed aggresive. The drives early in the game opened up the passing lanes later on.

East playoffss esp the Semis will be a bloodbath. a Betting Man's nightmare.

Sorry to hear about your family member, my friend.

Sorry to hear about your family member, my friend.

Thank you, appreciate it.

"The Raptors are the first Canadian professional sports franchise to win 15 or more games in a row in any major American professional sports league (the NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB).” (CFL too!)

Is this good? Do we want this?

That’s awful man... just try to enjoy whatever time he has left.
