A lot of it is just load management to be cautious. Embiid doesn't have anything else to prove in the regular season, he shits on everyone when he's on the floor. No need to tear his body up for reg season achievements, the goal is to be rested for the postseason and make a run.

Also, he has played over 72% of the games so far this season with those 11 games missed. Last season he played 83%. If he's playing around 75% of the season we're pretty happy. He's playing a career high 36 minutes per game when he does play.

Even with Embiid missing 11 games, Harden missing 15 games, and Maxey missing 19 games, the Sixers are still only a few games out of the top seed 💪😎


Lollll Sixers outside of one lucky win streak, which was against alot of BAD teams, have been a 500 club.

Embiid might as well be DQd as an MVP candidate already

I also accept that Giannis will probably not qualify by the end of the season due to load management. Ditto for AD and Durant

The only real candidates are Tatum, Jokic, and Luka. Dark horse is Curry. Nobody else has a chance.

Mavs literally haven't won a single game when Luka has been out (0-4).

76ers started the season 5-7. They were 5-7 on November 10th.

Since then, over the past two months, they've gone 20-8.

It's *you're

Slow start to the season but rolling now with no problem. And much of that 20-8 record over the past two months was without Embiid (11 missed games), Harden (15 missed games), and/or Maxey (19 missed games).

Feels good. B)

It happens. Pretty sure they cooked the Celtics by 50 like a week ago without SGA.

MVP Watch though

Tatum 7-for-22 from the field. 19 points on 22 shots. Worst +/- of all the starters. His team still won by double digits and JB wasn't playing.

MVP not driving the bus, just riding along. :bonk:

Wish we had the opportunity to have drafted Fultz instead! :(
