    Starting super Monday off right. Now need my eagles and my flyers to finish

  2. rexfloyd94

    Rockets young guys don’t ever stop, gotta give it to them there. Glad to win both against them this year.

  3. finester39

    I enjoy watching Joel Embiid play basketball.

    Hope Philly sports can get the hat trick today, 1/3 down.

  4. darcy1537325

    Man I just woke up and we’ve already played damn

    Australian fan curse for you

  5. iamsosmrt84

    Good W, I’d be stoked if Joel breaks his tie with Kareem against Jokic, but I wouldn’t mind if it ends the next game so the pressure’s gone.

    I think it’s apparent that he’s “trying” to keep it going (that 10th rebound was kind of a force) which isn’t necessarily where he needs to be as far as the long term. I just want our guy playing loose and within the flow of the game

  6. PessimistSixersFan

    Maxey ultimately ended the game good (6/10 from 3!) and Embiid did great its a good thing he’s back!

    Onto the tomorrow train we move 😎

  7. Big-Beta20

    Joel Embiid just dropped 41 points and 10 rebounds on 57% shooting but the only clip of him from the game on r/nba is him getting a foul called on Jeff Green that wasn’t even that egregious and everyone circlejerking.

  8. KD is about to request a trade to the Sixers. My source is that our alternate logo has a snake. Also since Jojo only needs to play 3 quarters. With KD they’d both only play 2. Load management. It is written.

  9. Finally a good 3 point shooting game from Maxey, hopefully this game will really get him going.

  10. economist_

    Solid win. Just amazing to have Joel back. I was starting to worry about the bench mob losing the lead in the last minutes but ForGod found a bucket.

  11. Wakandaforever456

    Embiid MVP onslaught continues. League has no answer for him.

  12. Joel joining a list with Kareem & Wilt *5 in the modern era with all these freaks of nature is just insane.

  13. Shukkkkle

    This was my first regular season game I attended, loved to see a comfortable win + an Embiid 40 piece GO SIXERS

  14. MaxeytoEmbiid

    I hope to never see KJ Martin play basketball again, god that guy’s trash lol. I’ve seen him blow more open layups than De’Anthony Melton.

  15. shmandrewshmade

    Hoping this dub sets the stage for tonight

  16. Knight725

    bench in the game played well. bench in garbage time played like they’d never seen a basketball before. the duality of man.

  17. Embiid probably sits tomorrow right? Who the fuck made the two mvp candidates the second night of a back to back? NBA always with the dumbest schedule. 

  18. fossadeidim

    We really have the worst bench players in the league, don’t we?

  19. soy_bacon

    No Melton, covington and house tomorrow is going to be rough

  20. edwardsscreenname

    They should just put our worst defender on Jokic tomorrow and let Joel roam.

  21. Getting dangerously close to needed a pat Bev jersey

  22. trippy_fingernails

    Going on r/NBA is bad for my mental health when I’m tryna feel good about this team lol. GG tho welcome back embiid, I missed you

  23. 215gobirdss

    Joel gotta play tomorrow to quiet the narrative and drop 40

  24. CPTHoagie

    Just a reminder the ducking narrative became a thing Denver fans started because they needed a bullshit excuse to counter the fact Embiid absolutely bodied Jokic on national TV.
