The scheduling is bad- this is one of the league's premier rivalries, both historically and currently. Celts shouldn't have to play an important game like this on a back-to-back.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

If Smart and RW3 are both out, why did we send Edwards to Maine tonight? Didn't we have at least one free roster spot for him?
I do not think they planned for him to be in the rotation tonight.

My guess is that given the 76ers super sized lineups they didn't plan to have Carsen on the floor and wanted him to get some burn with the g-league team.

Plus the fact that he hasn't made a shot since Jesus was lecturing in Omaha.

I'm watching the National Broadcast and it's a special about the greatness of Joel Embiid.

I want this game.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Tell that to Denver and Miami who had to come here on a SEGABABA. It's NBA scheduling. During the year every team has these things going on.

Man the 76ers should go to embiid every possession, but I think Simmons wants to handle the ball too much

What a finish by Kemba! Made Embiid look foolish
I'm bitter.

Kemba does it all and was the last only guy who came to play last night.

It’s almost like they’re paid to drive up star power.......

SG - Bruce Bowen/David Thompson
PG - Isiah Thomas/James Harden

Why does Hayward look like he totally lost his 3PT stroke while out?

You would think Stevens would start Kanter vs bigs like Jokic and Embiid

Hate to admit it, but I'll be shocked if we win tonight.
