This coach man. Drummond didn’t wanna play all night. Barlow playing good ball and sits. Oubre giving us nothing playing 40 mins. Bona should have finished.  And I’m tired of Bos just flat out playing a better brand of basketball. Even when we beat them it’s like a mini miracle

Good solid win, I was worried for a min. Had to beat them twice and Nick Nurse was supposed to challenge anything he could when they blew the whistle after the goaltending.  Bos and Mia would have called timeout and challenged anything they could.

Maxey did have 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, and 1 block...

I can't blame Maxey totally... Embiid got 2 guys who gave him posters. How many went to the rim with no contest? At minimum Bona shows heart and will try to block... Grimes was 2-7 from 3... Not to mention went all hero ball at one point. How about we got 6 points and 6 rebounds from 3 mf's... What was one of my KEYS to the GAME? That VJ needed to show up to the party, that 9 points was not gonna get it... Well VJ added only 1 more point from the previous game... You can't make a blanket statement like that, all on Maxey... I don't agree... How does Paul George miss that shot so close in the paint? What about the easy layup that Grimes missed? 1 point changes the entire game... AT WHAT POINT DID KNICK KNURSE MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO TYSON?

I'll keep believing what I believe... When Maxey is not involved, and it's all about Joel early, he's just not on his game... Maxey plays with rhythm and pace... For the majority of this game, Maxey was the 3rd option again... Just as I said in the previous game... And how dumb was that by Knick Knurse to challenge costing the team it's last time out...

What about all the bricks Maxey threw up.
What about Tyson scoring 39 and yes that’s who Maxey was guarding.

And Tyson cooked Maxey all night. This loss is on Maxey. Playing lazy unfocused and looking scared all night.

They'd better fix it quick. I don't know how Philly got back-to-back home games against the Cavs... If they lose again, the Cavs will officially pass them in the standings... Want to keep your distance as much as possible...

But the more I look, the more I see an average team that is 5 games over .500...

Nah we’re better than an average team as long as we are healthy. We had a bad night but CLE is not scrubs. They got off to a slow start but they’re getting healthy just like us. Even tho Garland got hurt tonight.

I think we’re a top 3 seed in the east if health holds up.

Our big guns (Joel and Maxey) stunk it up tonight VJ didn’t do no better either.  It happens but it’s definitely not time to panic. Not yet

We bussin they as 2nd half.

We letting TOR know what it is.  Don’t get happy we’ll be if front of yall later this week.

I normally rewatch games to get better picture of players.  I won't be rewatching this one.  The 1st half alone was depressing and kids in PAL could've shot better.  I like Barlow.  Every team needs that guy who does the dirty work and won't get plays called for him.  I remember when Thad was coming up.  Never got plays called for him but would do his job on both ends.  Barlow reminds me of him, but way younger.  Once his body fills out and he continues to develop, he's gonna be a good role player...like Thad, like Nico

I’m still mad at Thad for not pressing up on Turkolu (spelling) and making him drive..  let it go Young lol
