I wasn't planning on going to a game anytime soon but a buddy of mine wanted to go so I caved and got us tickets for Wednesday night against the Bulls.  If nothing else, I'll get to see the new uni's and court.

 

I can't stand Michael Barkann anymore... I seriously cringe when I see him on any pre/postgame show 

Tobias Harris OUT due to Covid protocols

Six games in the next nine nights.  I assume Embiid would also sit out next Monday against the Knicks to be ready for the national game against the Bucks? 

Also, the Cuz was saying earlier that he expects Ben to play in that road trip that starts on the 13th.  You how Ben loves to play the Jazz but we'll see.  I still have my doubts that he puts on the uniform again. 

 

If they care about seeding, I think Embiid is more likely to play the knicks and bucks, and rest vs Toronto or Indy as they are lesser teams.

When he was a host on WIP and Embiid was sitting out his second season, Barkann did an entire show advocating that we trade Embiid for a 2nd round pick or "whatever anyone would give us for him”. He also advocated for cutting Lane Johnson. There have always been idiots in the philly sports scene but that guy take it to another level.

I read somewhere that Furk is starting in his place. Weird.

Tonight is the 25th Anniversary of Allen Iverson's debut game with the Sixers 

Holy crap I was there for that. Freak time goes by fast.

Pretty amazing we have shot 0 FTs in an entire half.

She is absolutely atrocious

Green out now with a hammy

I don't mind her in normal play by play but her excited voice isn't authentic

She is just talking and then just starts screaming I can't stand it. She sounds like a gremlin.

 

And why the Eff is she calling niang the mini van!?! 🤬

Niang and Drummond are probaby the best veteran FA signings in this city since Blount and Long 

Nice W. Unexpected.

Wow 

Loss by the blazers should be a reality check to lillard he’s never winning there. Both of the sixers best players were out and they still won.

Well, he did account for that possibility when he added his statement that hes not just going to run when the times are tough. Morey, the rest of the FO, and all of our fans need to take that reality check too. 

He doesnt want to leave. They dont want to trade him. And even if those parties agreed to part ways, he doesnt want to come here anyway. Im over it. On top of all that, he sucks this year.

Even if it’s not here his loyalty shouldn’t be to an organization that’s done a **** job putting a team around that’s good enough to win a title. They’ve run the same core for about 3-4 years now with minor adds and they known it wasn’t good enough. Plus their GM deserved to be fired 

I’d Be willing to bet if the blazers miss the playoffs this year (not counting the play in) and not very good to start next year he changes that tune. Also think their GM gets fired at some point and they are going to have to make the decision to trade him when he has value instead of waiting too long. I just don’t think it’s going to be this year.

Nickname for Anthony Gargano.  97.5 The Fanatic 10:00a-2:00p host.

Such an upgrade over Mike Scott and Dwight Howard.  I can't imagine any scenario where Mike Scott would've gotten us 21/5/5 tonight like Niang did. 

I was also interested to see Danny vs RoCo in the battle of washed up wings.  RoCo put up a zero last week and had another zero tonight.  Poor guy is cooked.  Why do the Blazers keep starting him?  Look at these last 5 games:

Dame deserves better than this.

That spazz?   You’re citing him as a source for anything credible?   I thought that’s who you meant, but couldn’t believe it.  Sheesh.  

Well, that was unexpected. Bench is so much better this year with Niang and Drummond in the mix.

The bench actually keeps us in the game now instead of just bleeding away a lead.
