  1. A game sealing Mook 4-point play with no Embiid on the road against Gnome Vanvleet and Philanderer Udoka. Satisfied doesn’t even begin to describe the mood.

  2. Amazing win tbh. They were blazing from 3 and led most of the game and we still pulled through.

  7. Get one more dub for the year, before we hit January Sixers.

    Vibes going to be through the roof.

  9. Maxey is lord, incredible to see him leap

    Marcus Morris, equally incredible in a different way, happy to see him playing meaningful minutes again

  13. I’m becoming increasingly impressed by all of the assets we got in the Harden trade. Morris ain’t playing like no scrub.

  14. Nurse is getting his groove on with the Joeless team. He’s knowing what rotations to use and that 4th quarter adjustment taking Reed out and utilizing Morris and Bev was big. Should have been 3 in a row if Maxey wasn’t complete ass against Miami

  15. What’s great about this team is when one dude has an off night others step up. This team is deep. They have fight. Great win!

  18. They really need to figure out what to do at the 5 with embiid out. There’s no reality where embiid is not going to be hurt and out for a stretch of games.

  20. Philly Dawgz built different. S/o to Marcus Morris! Beverley chirping all game. Maxey hard carry, two in a row! Vibes are immaculate.

  23. The best and most likeable Sixers team post process era. Just a bunch of dawgs out there laying it all out. So fucking pumped after that great W. Lets go Sixers!!!

  26. OMG, what a game. What a roller coaster of emotions and a full game breakdown coming up right now.

    Maxey: 44/4/4, 13/26, 13/14 FTA. That was some vintage James Harden stuff. And of course, despite having one of the best games of your stellar young career, the haters continue hating.

    I wanna ask the haters something: If Maxey were 6’10(AKA, Ben Simmons), would you even have a peep? The different standards that Ben/Maxey have been held to as Sixers is unbelievable.

    Maxey comes in, day in and day out and by numerous staffs both past and present have said nothing but great things about his work ethic, the chemistry with Joel Embiid is off the charts.

    Yet for some reason that befuddles me, he is the most lightning rod criticized player on this team. He’s putting up ALL-pro numbers and it’s not enough.

    I don’t understand, his haters don’t live on the same planet as NBA scouts, opposing teams and the coaching staff. All I ask is to please, stop it. If we’re going to criticize, let it come from a place of reason.

    Okay, now we can focus on the supporting cast who came up big in the second half. Pat Bev gave us the energy and that 3 guard lineup totally shifted the momentum of the ball game. Clutchest offensive rebound of Bev’s career and Morris made some shots.

    I didn’t actually think Reed played bad tonight, it was just that kind of game where you’ve gotta outshoot them and we did.

    Onto Chicago.

  29. Nick Nurse understanding you’re allowed to adjust in game instead of between games instead of Doc who adjusts maybe once a season lol.

  33. Why did the broadcast keep showing Maxey first 40 point game since 2022, as if blud didn’t score 50 this year lmao.

  36. Hate that Joel is still out, but apparently Tobias needed the pressure of being the second option to get better. The problem-solving they all have had to do in his absence will make them stronger and more cohesive strategy-wise in the long run.

  37. Sengun fan coming in peace. Maxey played like his MIP award was on the line tonight. He is such a likeable player and deserves MIP. GG’s.

  39. Rockets fan here, I hope you guys understand how bad Jock Landale is after that play at the end of the game

  40. nick nurse saw paul reed stink and made mook a small ball 5…we finally have a coach that makes adjustments…hallelujah

  43. Tobias 22/4/7/4/3 and shooting 56/33 pct led all starters in plus/minus and doing everything without joel including being put on seng late in the 4th and shutting him down….Yet he was shit talked all game by 90 percent of our sub who are full of morons.

    Fun note tobias missed 2 3s in the 4th that were great looks and 1 went down and out and people shit on him for missing but shit on him earlier in the game for not taking them lol. Our fanbase is idiotic.

  44. The Sixers are a better than average team without Embiid. With Embiid they are outstanding
