  1. Jo not beating the ducking allegations coming back for this just to sit tomorrow

  2. edwardsscreenname

    Bamba and Springer out? Trade!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!!?!?

  3. downsouthcountry

    I just need an easy win before my blood pressure skyrockets tonight during the Eagles game.

  4. MaxeytoEmbiid

    Really love Oubre’s defense in the lineup, even if his offense has been shaky the last month. He’s become an elite defender

  5. clickstops

    On the one hand I’m glad his first game back isn’t an important game. On the other hand I’m bummed it’s the first of a b2b before an important game.

    I hope he can get some reps in, not get hurt, and we can blow them out so he’s fresh tomorrow.

    At least today is an early game and both at home so it’s not a horrible road b2b

  6. edwardsscreenname

    This thread is as dead as your mom’s bedroom (give her my number).

  7. Honestly think Nurse is starting to gel with Tobias unlike Doc

  8. RylanKura

    I was really wrong about Oubre, thought he was just a shotchucker with 0 BBIQ and would never fit here.

  9. edwardsscreenname

    Was Dillweed Brooks doing his staring thing today?

  10. clickstops

    Looks like Tobi wants to continue to be aggressive. I don’t hate it.

  11. Ivory_Toast_

    I said that last Houston matchup, Sengun was doing good because he was up against Reed and Morris and that if we had an actual rim protector and someone who can attack him in the paint (he’s soft), he’d get cooked all game

  12. This defense can be swarming when they turn it on. I fucking love it

  13. clickstops

    Yo wtf was that defensive possession? We were playing like it was 30s left in game 7. Wow.

  14. MaxeytoEmbiid

    If that was Siakam, that’s a dunk I’m just saying lol.

  15. WraithTwelve

    Not even close to a charge lol. Giannis fouls out by halftime every game if that’s a charge.

  16. ProcessTrust856

    Charges are so stupid. If you don’t want to get run over, move.

  17. That’s not a fucking foul lol Jabari just got bodied by Tyrese

  18. ProcessTrust856

    Jo is back. Maxey’s shot is back. These things are not unrelated! Jo makes his teammates better. *cough Doc Rivers cough*

  19. clickstops

    The Joel middie is one of the purest shots in the league

  20. bravof1ve

    Hopefully Embiid embraces the fat boy style of defense. I don’t need him contesting 30 shots a game and having guards rolling into his ankle

  21. Knight725

    absolutely awful basketball, refs leaning on the game, tons of blown fast breaks, just can’t win like this 

  22. indoninjah

    I feel Tobias would average 24ppg if he could make bunnies

  23. Appropriate-Hippo758

    We need another shot creator so badly it’s insane

  24. MaxeytoEmbiid

    I am honestly mystified. It’s not like he’s airballing these. He’s hitting front rim. Is it power? Is he getting enough dip into the shot? Something slightly, very slightly mechanically is off for him right now.

  25. Ok-Association-4790

    Embiid just shouldn’t have played at all only giving effort on the offensive side

  26. Paul_Wall_

    Jo’s jumper still wet

    Our fast break execution been ass so far

  27. bendingblocks3

    Alaa sounded a little hurt 🤣 it’s not that deep

  28. SamHinkiesNephew

    Wish Maxey would just stop with the long threes especially early in the shot clock. Wasted possessions along with him throwing it away on the fastbreak and batum trying the contested layup

  29. Ivory_Toast_

    Kisses from Oubre: Rizz 😍

    Kisses from Brooks: Sexual Harassment 😨

  30. buffalobrenden

    I find it hilarious that they just let Embiid get to that elbow like he isn’t completely automatic from there
