    SVG should never be allowed to comment on Sixer games for the rest of his career, that was embarrassing 

  2. MatCauthonsHat

    We won this game despite giving up p 16 O-boards and missing 9 free throws.

    Good win.

  3. racer24ftw

    I’m happy the Sixers won after yesterday shit show by the Eagles

  4. -UndercoverTaco-

    I stayed up 24h to watch this game and it was definitly worth it.

  5. Ill-Potential-1588

    Pat Beverly instead of Ouber in late 4th was great adjustment for nick

  6. Friendly-Rough-3164

    There a few pro haters down bad whenever Tobias has a decent game, shit is hilarious

  7. alexaustinv

    Genuinely fun game, defense be damned. Jokic was killing the boards, but Embiid was doing it everywhere else. Quiet Maxey game, he was off from the FT line which is interesting. Tobias really showed up in a lot of ways, contract seasons are always good for the regular season performances. That 3 from Mook and the foul was crazy.

  8. Joel knew I needed this win tonight ❤️ so much fun watching him and Jokic battle. Just pure hoops and the two best players in the world

  9. TheSixthPistol

    “Take the head of the champ and place it on a silver platter

    Dress it up with Hors D’oeuvres and then he serves it to him

    He made this game into a scene out of a Serbian Film

    I say that conquest is the best revenge

    And lesser men meet death when the test begins

    God damn the man flex and the rest defend

    They know enough to step back when the Embiid ascends”

    Embiid Bomaye

  10. Upper_Shine6011

    Embiid didn’t get 10 boards 😞😞😞😞 streak gone

  11. Lurkerwasntaken

    By the way, Joel Embiid now is tied for seventh amongst active players in 40-point games with 47.

  12. tony_tony_tony_tony

    Games like these is what makes me hopeful for Embiid to turn it on during the playoffs. If healthy he’s legitimately unstoppable

  13. November_Coming_Fire

    Maxey gonna stay at the arena and practice free throws all night

  14. Ivory_Toast_

    Embiid and Jokic were both clearly at different levels tonight. One was at an MVP-level and the other wasn’t.

    My MVP doesn’t go to the bench in the clutch moments of the 4th quarter because he’s dogshit defensively

  15. Cptsaber44

    why didn’t he try that helicopter move like he did on sengun yesterday? 🤣🤣🤣

  16. Harris with 24 points on 10 shots Shooting 80% and this sub has nothing but backhanded compliments.

    Regardless…solid team win

  17. Jay-Kane123

    Joker’s knack for getting O boards and putting it right back up for a bucket is so infuriating.

  18. downsouthcountry

    I think this was prob the most entertaining game of the season.

  19. VoidMageZero

    We can take any contender in a series with the current roster if Joel is healthy, Maxey is healthy, and Tobi and other players step up.

    No changes needed, although we should keep looking for potential improvements but no reason to feel desperate. Good vibes right now.
