    wonder how much joe plays and what our offense looks like. i hope they let harden be the number 1 again and tell jo to focus his energy on defense

  2. TempleofSpringSnow

    The 2022-2023 MVP plays basketball in 35 minutes. 🫡

  3. BackstromsGloves

    Just hope they’ve drilled into his head that this game isn’t do or die. Joel needs to be smart, take his time, and not rush back into anything. Winning game 1 was already huge.

  4. bigchallah

    Embiid should play about 20-25 minutes. Patrol the paint on D and look for mid range jumpers. No chase down blocks or paint drives through bodies unless it’s the last few minutes of the game and meaningful. PJ should start the game by slapping Bball on the back of the head and we’ll get a good 20 minutes out of him.

  5. Flat_Fix_5315

    The worst part about watching the Sixers play tonight is that we have to watch the Celtics play

  6. ligeiro01

    Joel is back, but i’m still wondering what does Uno have for me today?

  7. RylanKura

    Can’t wait for the hot takes when we lose. But expecting a W

    For Whom the Bell Tolls playing in Boston. As they’re about to play Philly.

    Hopefully the bell isn’t about to toll for the home crowd!

  13. choose_uh_username

    So no pain besides random shooting pain lol. Definitely somethings up

  16. hascogrande

    Shaq: unlike you, I play in Philly this year

    Chuck: concerts don’t count and you know it

  17. SatanicSpeedo

    So what if Embiid starts with a clear limp, drags the team down, doc doesn’t pull him and we lose?

  18. AllAmericanBJ

    Probably been said, but I think even just having embiid focus on defense and trying to work back into game shape can give us the win. A game similar to Monday + some better rim protection and we win going away

  19. anth8725

    This notion that Boston will be more focused cause of embiid is fucking ridiculous. They couldn’t fucking miss the last game. No credit to how the sixers executed at all. Ppl still don’t realize that Boston is overrated

  20. Cloakington

    Celtics are going to want to punch us in the mouth right away. I don’t see how they’re going to improve on offense to start because they shot 78% in the first half but I expect them to improve their defense

  22. ExileOnBroadStreet

    Me to myself: Splitting 1-1 in Boston without Embiid game 1 is a good result, Splitting 1-1 in Boston without Embiid game 1 is a good result, Splitting 1-1 in Boston without Embiid game 1 is a good result… you are not going to get super upset watching this game

    🤡

    One bad play into the game: I will literally burn Boston to the ground

  23. Slight_Match

    Celtics will go up big then the Sixers will come back. I want minimum bitching in here ppl!

  24. JethusChrissth

    Apologies if I missed something but what streaming services are airing the game? I’ll delete if this comment isn’t allowed. Thanks!

  25. jalen_hurts_hog

    I am a man with a fistful of hammers and a trunk full of duct tape and zip ties!

  26. RecordMuted

    Look Embiid has been cleared medically to play so I’m not questioning shit. Dude has earned not to be question if he’ll be effective enough. I’d ride with the big man if he wanted to be out there with one fucking arm.

  30. AIsLilGuys

    This ad for 5 hour energy sounds like an AI generated script

  31. spilledsippycup

    My friend Joey is a Celtics fan, can y’all greet him for me?
