No Embiid once again for Philly tomorrow. Sounds like George and Lowry will return.

It certainly is a mystery as to Goga's sprained ankle last night. He was already penciled into the starting lineup not long before the opening tip. He seemed fine going into last night's game. And then he returns tonight as if nothing ever happened. It definitely makes you wonder on multiple levels. Money talks I suppose. Having the Knicks advance would help with ratings and such. Last night just seemed a bit too sketchy. At least that's the way that I interpreted things. Like as if it were already determined. And that's a shame quite frankly.

IMO Goga should be our starting center. His D is so much better than WCJ and his rim protection inspires the whole team.

J.I is out tonight

The Paolo injury has shown us that we lack a legit 3rd scorer.

It's too much dip on the chip for Suggs. We're forcing him to play out of position and be the 3rd scorer.

At one point, when Franz was on the bench resting, there were no shooters on the court. 

Kcp is so inconsistent. There was one game where he couldn't miss from the 3 pt. line. Tonight, he kept throwing up bricks.

Franz and Goga are the only 2 who were trying to score under the basket or close to it. Everybody else were trying to throw up 3 pt. shots (and missing).

Paolo back and we r good to go

Another ugly game. But don’t care as long as we come on top.

76ers players spend too much time arguing with the refs., especially Maxey.

This is what happens when you lack consistent 3-point shooters. Something needs to be done to address this moving forward. Otherwise, it will just be another decent season (45-50 wins) and a first round exit from the playoffs again. Yes, it will help to spread the floor more when Paolo returns. But these guys are missing wide open shots. We need someone who can consistently knock down shots from downtown. I honestly can't remember a team being this consistently bad from 3-point range in all my years of watching NBA basketball.

Earlier in the game Kyle Lowry argued a call after he shoved AB like he was a safety putting a big hit on a wide receiver catching a pass over the middle. He argues just about every call.
