Eh. Frankly Celtics hung in longer than I expected without Tatum.
Yeah good on them for that! They had to shoot the lights out but it made for an exciting game. I hope Tatum and Curry will be back on Friday so we can see what both squads look like full strength.
Obviously Tatum is a better overall player than Curry, but Curry’s presence is integral for the Sixers. Having him in the starting lineup instead of Maxey creates so much more gravity from 3 and opens things up so much for Embiid.

Yeah it would be nice to sweep with both teams at 100%....

Still super early but these numbers are pretty crazy
Embiid is averaging 26.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists, and he’s shooting just under 55 percent from the field and getting to the free-throw line nearly 10 times per game. With Embiid on the court this season, the Sixers have a plus-10.1 net rating, compared to a minus-4.3 when he’s on the bench. With Embiid in the game, the Sixers’ offense averages 114.7 points per 100 possessions, which is roughly equivalent to the Los Angeles Lakers. When he’s on the bench that falls to 104.6, or just barely better than that of the Knicks. When Embiid is on the court, the Sixers generate corner 3-point attempts nearly twice as often as they do when he’s on the bench.
^If you take the words “Most Valuable Player” literally and the season ended today, the vote would be unanimous. Watching the games it’s like...he might have an off quarter or 2 or even an off game, but the vast majority of the time you’re just counting the points when he shoots, you know it’s going in. He’s out of his mind right now and I hope he can keep it up.

He's putting up late 80's and early 90's Barkley numbers.
I said this before, but the best thing about his game this year is how he has improved his passing out of double teams. It's like he welcomes it now.
I guess whining and moaning like a hypocritical little bitch pays off in the modern day NBA.
Yep, It got him 15 free throws.
And it should have been 21 again. There is absolutely nothing Khloe’s baby daddy and white trash Marcus Smart can do to stop him from scoring besides fouling him.
It’s okay, stopping a dominant big man is not the C’s specialty. You’ll get your golden boy back soon and we’ll see how it goes next time.

Real solid game for Ben last night. Finished strong, got to the rim, and made his foul shots! Excellent d on Grant too.
More of that please
10-12 from the line and went to the rim looking to get fouled late in the 4th! Is this real life?!
Also, looks like the first road sweep could be coming up tomorrow. Better have that broom ready Juggs.
I carry the broom with me wherever I go nowadays.
By the way, I know he did not play well last night (thanks to Ben's D) but can you believe Grant is averaging 25 ppg? That guy couldn't do anything but defend and dunk when he was here.

I honestly wasn’t paying attention at all during the Process years. I quit following the basketball a few years before Hinkie came along and I only fully got back into it once I moved to Philly just before the start of last season. It sounds like it would have been a lot of fun though.
This girl has been making these awesome comic book covers for every Sixers win this year. People are urging her to make them all into a coffee table book of some kind at the end of the year. I would buy for sure.

Nice. How about that Sixers Sadie chick on twitter? High school girl playing the Sixers song on her piano after ever win. Got a Darryl Morey retweet once or twice too. Pretty cool

The Mighty Juggs can break out his whisk broom.
