Well then I’ll be excited to see what Embiid does against these real centers of the west, cuz the one he played tonight got a 31 and 13 dropped on him while putting on a sick 13 and 3 himself.

Yes. People do have off nights.

I do wish all you Sixers fans luck (except when playing the Wolves) though. This is just good fun banter.

I actually like KAT but he's missing something that Embid has and I think it's toughness. Seriously. I understand why people would call him soft as he appears that way more time than not. He just doesn't have that toughness feel that big man are suppose to have. I have to disagree with you on taking KAT over Embid. If you want a winner then Embid over KAT all day. I mean I know some people think Jimmy is a cancer or bad dude but he atleast speaks the truth and he even called KAT soft (not exact words).

Butler's has disrupted EVERY locker room he has ever been in, He has no standing on talking about any player in the NBA.

No Center in the NBA gets called for more ticky tack BS than KAT does. KAT does have the toughness but refs don't allow that cause no defense is allowed in Silver's new NBA.

WOW.....

what a difference a week makes.

That was the best Philly has played all year.

Agreed, big win for us. On the road. Everyone moving the ball. Awesome to see Simmons take over without scoring the call. Today this team could compete and beat anyone. Great game

The biggest moment of the game was in the fourth when Indy went on a 10-0 run to cut the lead to 8 and it looked like Philly might blow another one....



Simmons came through with two big passes on consecutive possessions and basically helped put the game away...



Notice on this first one how he drives the lane and the entire defense crashes down on him, leaving Embiid wide open for the 3....





And this next one when he gets under the hoop and dishes a sweet pass to a wide open Muscala....



Great basketball

I frickin love this team. Just a fun team to watch. They have their 3 guy, the best center in the game with an endless arsenal of moves, a point guard that puts on dazzling passing displays on a regular basis, a clutch scorer and stout defender in Butler. They have a bit of everything, not just a bunch of dudes trying to launch 3s. You get the full spectrum of what makes hoops great with this team.

another garbage game from this team. maybe they come back and win but nothing in the last few weeks has changed anything

it's a 4 seed team that will win a playoff series and that's it

That’s harsh. Theyre playing a tough team.

Jimmy and JJ having subpar games.

This is just one game after their best of the year.

Simmons wanted nothing with that last shot. He really needs to develop a shot especially for these situations

Dude. He did exactly what he was supposed to do on that play: get the ball down court and in the hands of jimmy butler.

I’d say he did his job with 20/15/9 on 68% shooting.


Jimmy got toasted by PG13 on that last defensive stand. That’s what it came down to.

this is just one game??

home losses to Atlanta. Cleveland

how about how they still cant beat Boston

it's not harsh when it's the truth. 76ers are a good team, but nothing has really changed from last year. they can beat most teams and they can lose to anyone. they can look how they did at a Indiana then play defense the next night like a lottery team

They lost by a hail mary 3 pointer to one of the best teams in the NBA... wouldn't call this a garbage game.


But yes, they struggle with inconsistency.

The one thing you don't do there is let PG13 get off a 3.

Then the problem was made worse by the fact that they didn't have a time out.

[WalterAZ31]

everytime this team has a chance to make a statement they choke

coming off a pretty big win at Indiana and a chance to come home after a day off and beat a west playoff team and they completely come out the game like a joke. down 20 early I think.....just comical as always

I've said it before and I'll say it again and I'll keep saying it. Brett brown has taken this team has far as he can. he is a horrifically bad game coach

Bit of a statement made tonight

Absolutely dominant.

I love this thread....

6ers play an amazing game in which they absolutely emasculate Houston, WITHOUT BUTLER, and dead silence from the peanut gallery.

They lose a close one vs one of the best teams in the NBA (OKC) and the usual suspects come out with the 'I told you so's'


Don't even bother anymore if you're just going to hide whenever anything goes against your narrative.

Yessirrrrrrrrrr!

Anyone wanting to hate can go watch Embiid own the whole Rockets team last night. What a masterful game he played. Best big man in the game.

I would hope he would own them considering the Rockets only have Nene's corpse that they are trotting out at center with Capela out.

Great player, but he's a total douche nugget.

No I didnt, but I dont need to. He is the best center in the NBA so he should dominate, especially against a team that has no centers.
