Game Thread: Sixers (33-17) @ Spurs (14-38) Friday Feb. 3, 2023 7:00PM CT 3:00AM RIGA

[lefty20]

Embiid is questionable for the Sixers.




Vassell, Sochan, Langford & Jones are ruled out for the Spurs.

[spurraider21]

and Hornets play the Pistons today, so a good result is guaranteed

[lefty20]

Wesley is available and, hopefully, should get 30+ mins with Jones out.

[Mr. Body]

This team is almost unwatchable without Sochan. I want to see Branham have another good shooting night. I don't want Blake to be on a short leash. I don't want to see Keita play 30 minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

I feel sorry for whoever watches these games :lol

[KingKev]

Throw the L’s upppppp

RELEASE BASSEY

lol jk :flag:

[heyheymymy]

Hope it's a Malaki Branham show tonight

[spurraider21]

Wesley is available and, hopefully, should get 30+ mins with Jones out.
i doubt he approaches 30 tbh. last game, jones/sochan played like 7 minutes apiece anyway and wesley still only logged 4 minutes. branham/richardson will probably both be hitting 30+

[Rocalcio]

Definitely less interesting without Sochan and Langford.

[lefty20]

Pop being a hard-ass does suck sometimes, tbh.

They're barely watchable with Sochan tbh.

I watch them anyway but it's not easy for me.

[mo7888]

I feel sorry for whoever watches these games :lol

I appreciate your sympathy...

[Dverde]

I’m thinking J Rich should be benched to avoid injury.

[slick'81]

NospursNo:nope

[JPB]

Mind games tbh.

[scott]

Years from now we will look back at starting lineups like Branham/Richardson/Johnson/Bates-Diop/Poeltl and wonder how we won any games that season.

[scott]

Might be more people in the game thread than in the lower seats tonight... and there are only 31 people in the game thread...

[Robz4000]

Embiid is made of glass

[lefty20]

Always nice to see Pop tear into the officials, even with the stakes being what they are.

I'd be done with the Spurs if they ever move to Vegas. Austin I'm cool with, and actually encourage it. San Antonio just couldn't prove they could stick with the team through thick and thin. If they ever move, San Antonio did it to themselves.

[Barfunk]

Let's get this dank L

"SpUrS wIlL nEvEr MoVe To AuStIn" Tickets in the lower seats run a minimum of $200 plus for two, and that's not especially close. I sat at the 15th row near the tunnel for a long time and loved it, but I could sell the tickets easily when I couldn't go...that's no longer true.

[tonight...you]

Legendary D being played.

Love what I'm seeing?

[XDT76]

Terrible game other than Branham, the players that show any competency are all having contracts expiring this season. The rest are all terrible.

[scott]

Pistons with a big win tonight. Looks like we'll at least be tied for 2nd in the win column after this one.

[Thomas82]

And then hopefully the Hornets can go back to winning after tonight.

[slick'81]

Its all coming together.....just lose baby

[lefty20]

Wesley making sure we don't stay in single digits.

[Barfunk]

Pop is doing an excellent job this season.

[Rito3d30]

Barlow TIME!!!!

[Thomas82]

Pop is doing an excellent job this season.

Yeah, he really turned it around after the first 7 games.

[Thomas82]

The Sixers might have to put their starters back in to preserve this lead.

[lefty20]

They really did :lol

[Barfunk]

He really did, and I'm not even being sarcastic either, lol. We'll be back.

[Rito3d30]

so much fun watching the young ones

[Mr. Body]

Branham driving into the lane is murder.

I'm liking Barlow a lot. Moves his feet well on defense. Let's keep him on the main squad.

Malaki is having the game of his life and I'm loving it.

[JPB]

Good thing we have too much talent to suck :hat

[XDT76]

Like that 4Q crew lots of fight, if Roby or Seth changes to Sochan could be even more fun.

[tonight...you]

Good thing we have too much talent to suck :hat
Sochan would have made it 137-13...2?

[John B]

2nd place bitches. I’ll settle for Scoot :lol

[aissagholi7981]

Zero percent chance we draft Scoot if we land the second pick. Would be good to have options though

[offset formation]

We are locking down that historically awful defensive rating.

[Mr. Body]

Salivating at what teams might give up for that #2 pick.

[aissagholi7981]

Would be interesting. I personally think if we don’t get the first pick and end up with 2/3, we’re drafting Brandon Miller. People forget Spurs don’t give a crap about hype more then character. That being said, we better get the first pick lol

Why, is there bad intel on Scoot?

[John B]

Funny how Doc put back his starters when threatened by Spurs comeback by 3 19 yrs old

[aissagholi7981]

Nothing bad, just the “Hollywood” type. Nothing wrong with that but also we’re never drafting a player that relies a lot on athleticism. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see less of Tre and more of 22 handling the PG spot so we know who’s Jo that’s going to be in the long run
