We can’t sit around and wait till December to sign a backup big for scraps. Need to consider shedding salary by moving guys + picks if we have to, even if that means including one of Philon, Simons, Bona, Edwards, etc.

Small ball all season long isn’t going to work.

Team just looked tired at the end. Very short roster too. This one’s forgivable. Despite Brown missing shots in the 4th, I like his confidence. Those will for sure fall in other games.

Joel sitting in the bench like I would cook these guys makes me happy

Really scary moment with Maxey. They need to evaluate him for a concussion. He took the bad side of the collision. There’s a reason soccer players use their forehead. Maxey got hit in the temple. He’s the franchise player.

I originally ordered a custom authentic when LeBron signed. When I received it, it was the older version of the jersey as many others did. After fighting, fanatics let me return it and get my money back. Today as a complete surprise I received the correct authentic from Fanatics for FREE!!!.

They need to grab another Center before its too late… Starting Lebron at C and playing him spot minutes as a C is just asking for trouble. Lakers did this to him a few years ago when AD would go down. He eventually broke down late in the season. And he was a bit younger then.

Sixers drop their first game of the season to Cade and the Pistons

Last night the other team clearly bricked and we earned a 5 count nugget. But even now I still don’t have it populating in my Chick-fil-A app.

Is anyone else having this same issue?

To be clear from the start, I mean that as a good thing!

We won 3 out of 4 games. 3 of those 4 where against really good teams. And we have had injuries and rest games as well.

We are still getting used to each other, which makes sense that usually takes a while. Maxey is only shooting 30% from 3. Simons ia shootijg 23.8% from 3. Lebron us shooting 10% from 3 and only 63% from the line and just 48.3% ts. Embiid only shoots 39% fg.

The average efg this season in the nba in total is 52.9 (basketball reference) which is already lower than last season we are at 48 with a ts% if only 52.5

Yet we still won 3 out of 4 against and 2-1 against good teams. Lebron especially is only 48.6% ts. And his assist to turnover ratio.

We will be so much better in a few months

Notes:

First game without Joel or VJ. Team struggled to get any sort of offensive flow going. Perhaps a 2nd ball may have helped?

Another poor shooting performance, including many open 3s that would have added more assists to these already half-decent numbers.

I attended this game. I begged and pleaded with the refs to add an additional ball to the game, but to no avail. Considering bringing my own ball to throw on to the court next time.

Can someone who understands the cap and contracts explain to me why we can’t use this in our scenario?

Being in Westchester, which is such a heavy Knicks fanbase, while also being a HUGE Sixers fan is very lonely. Any Sixers fans in the area? Lets get a bit of a group going!

Just thought I'd share this website I used to easily get the 76ers schedule into Google Calendars. It's worked really well for me and persistently updated through the 2025 playoffs and stuff.

I wasn't able to watch the first half due to timing:-

So like we matched the Pistons for the three quarter but the first quarter lead was carrying over.

So can anyone explain what happened?

We did have problem with rebounding the ball from both sides of the court and had a bad FT% on crucial moments but we still had a low turnover than the pistons.

Just to be straight this isn't a dramatic type loss we were back to back against former first seed so I was half expecting a loss.

They didn't have duren we didn't have Embidd so it was equal in that regard. Ik Embidd is better than Duren, I was just talking about our main centers.

After last night the band aid was ripped off again for that center position exposing how badly we need a good backup center. What is the most feasible way for us to obtain that?

$2.8 million in salary owed this year and a UFA the next.

Jericho Sims would fit well in the high-flying transition units this team is very capable of running. He is a player that you get what you get with him on the floor, but at least you know there will be energy spent on the boards and will catch 3 lobs a game.

He's a cheap option who fits in as a reserve when Embiid is out or on the bench. He is on the offensive side a more consistent lob threat and has hands to actually catch the ball unlike Bona. He also seems to control rebounds better instead of letting them bounce around the painted area.

What do you think about Bona + two second round picks?

gotta retest VJs Vertical, dudes pulling a Westbrook and jumping higher

Love the heart and aggression, but plays like this will hurt someone. Have to trust your teammates. Maxey had the lockdown, got the block, and probably would've controlled the ball if Bona hadn't come flying in, out of control, and knocked him out of bounds.

Bona is not the answer. I know Gansey had other plans at backup center with Hukporti, but with him injured, that is the number one piece to fill.

I see them every game and they are FIRE looking.
