In Philly tonight as we take on a 31-17 Sixers team that have won 4 of their last 5, and are coming off a blow-out home win against the Rockets. Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons are both listed as QUESTIONABLE. Bertans is OUT for the Spurs. Game will be nationally televised on ESPN. Let’s get it.

I always laugh when I see players are "questionable" or "doubtful" against us. They'll ing play. End of story.
Expecting a blowout loss. Pop coaches like an autist against his former assistants. Brown is facing pressure from the divas on the team so I'm sure the old man will throw in plenty of Cun and Pon lineups
Also lol @ realistically thinking two divas like Ben Jenner and Jimmy Cancer will miss a chance to stat pad on a nationally TV game.
ˇVaya!
I never know what to predict with this team anymore. I figured the Clippers game was a gimme win. Nope, LOSS.
I didn't think we would win both road games against the Mavs and Wolves. WRONG we did!
So Go Spurs Go! Wouldn't be surprised regardless of the outcome today.
This is sadly true. Spurs match up decently with Philly and so this would be a nice bounce back win if Pop can keep from letting another one of his coaching children get a feel good win. The next four games have us on the road at NOP (without Anthony Davis), and then at home for the Wizards, Suns and Nets. All games are winnable so it would be nice to see the Spurs get back on track starting this evening and start a little positive streak.
This team could go 5-0 or 1-4 over the next 5 and neither outcome would surprise me.
butler out
Emblid ?
Simons ?
Looks like no Butler or Simmons. Would say Spurs should win easily but they also should've easily beaten the Clips.
If you had asked me two days ago i would predict a loss today now i say we win.
I’ll be at the game hopefully the spurs don’t stink up the joint
Reminds be of one my favorite regular season games of all-time: the Malik Rose breakout game back in 1999.

In his hometown of Philadelphia, Rose goes for 22 and 9 with his family celebrating in the stands. Duncan and Robinson were both struggling but Rose saved the day. That was basically the moment he became a permanent fixture in the rotation and a legit NBA player.
Probably won't happen for LWIV tonight but would be pretty cool, tbh.
oel Embiid (back) and Ben Simmons (illness) are questionable against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Embiid was originally not listed in the injury report, which was a surprise after the 76ers had him as a true game-time call in the previous two. He is likely going to be in the injury report for the foreseeable future, but he won't have a back-to-back set until the last two games before the All-Star break. If he's out, Mike Muscala, Jonah Bolden, and Amir Johnson would get some minutes.
Wife had another baby.
come on emblind go out for today haha
