  1. I want 2 things. Us to keep up the win streak obv and for Joel to continue his 30 pts 10 reb streak. One more ties him with Shaq and Moses. Two more ties him with Wilt. Six more ties him with Kareem, for best streak all-time.

    For just 30 pts games, he’s also got the longest active streak, but Luka is just one behind him. I need a championship (somehow) but def would like us to pick up some MVPs and MIPs and stuff along the way.

  2. I still remember how salty I was when we lost to the Bulls last year and ruined Joel’s undefeated streak against them.

    The big fella got tossed with 6 fouls in OT and Harden went something like 2-13 because Glenn kept him on despite an injury; the whole thing was infuriating.

    edit: I looked it up, because I’m a Sixers masochist. [Post-game thread](https://np.reddit.com/r/sixers/comments/11x3b0i/postgame_thread_the_philadelphia_76ers_fall_to/?sort=top) from that day.

  3. Let’s extent the win streak to 7!

    Fun fact: I was surprised to see the only team with a currently longer winning streak (7) are the Clippers …

  4. Pistons continue to have interest in Tobi. The problem is, that means they want to win now. If they want to win now, they are certainly going to keep Bogdanovic. Besides Bogdanovic and Cade, I dont see anyone on that team can help us

  5. They want like 5 ish picks for markkanen we dump Tobias for some and we do that trade and we win for sure

  6. Look, if Embiid can get the ball through the doubles-triples fast enough so that 3 and D like Batum, Melton, Convigton and Dorian Finney-smith can shoot it when we face teams that can get close quickly (Heat, Celtics) I would be satisfied with our current team plus DFS. However, if he is unable to do this like in the last playoffs, a guy like Lavine in Tobias Harris’ position is necessary because we need another player to infiltrate using his gravity, something that Harris cannot do in the playoffs.

    A Maxey-Lavine-Batum-Convigton-Embiid line up would be good with Melton and Kelly Oubre or even Morris coming from the bench.

  7. Gotta win this game nice and easy to be prepared for Minnesota on Wednesday.

    Gonna be real annoying if we drop another two games in a row.

  8. If not for sentiment, Klay Thompson would be a great guy to go after. But I don’t think the Warriors want to play it like that. It would probably have to be a 3-team trade; Klay to Philly, Tobi and draft assets from GS/Sixers to a third team and the Warriors get someone who fits their needs (Jeremi Grant, Siakam, Dejounte maybe).

    What’s crazy is that a week ago, I would have said that Golden State definitely would trade Klay instead of Draymond, but now, I’m not so sure. Still don’t think they want to trade either, but someone over there has to wake up and see that it’s time if they want to stay in the hunt.

    Also, Wiggins is ass right now, and I doubt they could get anyone good for him.
