Wow, I’m shocked that Embiid didn’t stomp the camera man.

We can’t have him on the injury list too.

C’mon, he can’t be that fragile, he’s our iron man

If Mitch misses the free throw, I’m turning the game off.

All these rotation changes can’t be helping. I get the experimenting but at some point you have to lock in. It’s January not Nov

What I see is a complete failure on this team.. And if we don't correct it, we're gonna have a big problem.

ECF Player of the Month notwithstanding, the Brunson we've seen this past week scores, but that's about it.

This is the least interested I've been watching him on the court in a long time. I'm at the point where I'm more engaged when Kolek is on the floor.

OG and KAT were TO Machines tonight.

You can always tell when OG has crossed his conditioning threshold. He starts stumbling and bumbling.

Never run OG's battery too low. He can take games or weeks to recover.

I know losing streaks happen to good teams but this is alarming we are getting manhandled by not great teams at home

We are in a funk. We can't defend anything right now. Teams are eating us alive in the paint, from three and transition. We are also getting too down after non-calls and misses. This happens in a long season. Brown and the Cap need to settle the guys down and get back to basics. And we need Josh Hart back.

Give Philly credit. They were physical and played like they wanted this more. Maxey and Edgecombe had it going all game. And Fuck Embiid! And double **** that blonde bimbo ref!

We need to work on our defense. Teams are picking on Brunson and towns .

We have stopped pushing the ball for easy transition buckets . OG and bridges have been pretty underwhelming on offense. Missing easy looks, always short so we know what that means they have no legs right now.

The past 5 games we look like we aren’t having fun . Lots of players are just standing around, hopefully brown can motivate them to get back on track.

One last note, Brunson is getting abused and the refs are refusing to blow the whistle. Either the nba sent out a memo to let players foul Brunson or Brunson pissed the refs off.

We miss Josh but I didn’t think it would affect us this much . Players looked confused on offense, we need to involve towns more he really can’t be stopped .

This is browns biggest moment as coach, we get to see if he’s really good or not .

Dolan should have just hung up that dumb banner. Now Silver has unleashed his goons (refs) to make sure we never win a real chip.

I bleed orange and blue for life.

Don’t recall a team (particularly a backcourt) hitting so many tough / moving 3’s as Maxey/Edgecomb.

This was a scary game because if you knew nothing of these 2 teams Sixers looked like the far more talented and athletic team with a far more aggressive/tenacious defense.

That backcourt along with McCann is going to give us fits for years.

Mikal 37 minutes and zero FT’s - think that gives him 9 FTs in last 18 games - add in 2-8 from 3 and getting roasted by both Maxey/Edgecomb.

Hard to be that mad because Sixers played out of their ass today —- like entire team was blessed with scrub of the night (Champagnie) shooting touch.

Our entire frontline is so scary with the ball in hands and making decisions (not good).

Thought Kolek and Deuce played ok but Deuce definitely no Maxey perimeter defender and Tyler gets us playing with great pace - just forced a few tough shots tonight. Kolek can play and defend….did not like that we went with Deuce at PG in first half and fame got away at that point before Kolek entered.

Hard to be mad about this game? Maybe, but not really. But what about the last three games, or even further back at a few wins we’ve either willed out or survived? Yes, I would say there are reasons to be alarmed, because while there is the excuse of one or few players missing or being injured, that goes out the window when you find out the problem is the same one we’ve had even with a different coach: the defense sucks. But just saying that it sucks doesn’t make it justice because it’s just non-existent.

This team, even previous iteration, has a very real problem of motivation and discipline that leads them to horrible stretches of not even trying. My main worry is OG, because even if it’s not fair to him, he seems to be the engine of our defense, but the last bunch of games he has been just putrid. Even Mikal has seemed to go through the motions.

I’m tired of the “long season” excuse, because there is always a small group of elite teams that don’t seem to get sick with this, while our team’s discipline and motivation get questioned from time to time. Losses happen, sure, but when there is a recurring problem as this defense has been, it just changes the whole outlook of the team.
