Only 4.5 point favorites tonight :huh:

Lost to this Magic team twice during the regular season, they defend well and have seemed to have the Sixers number.

Hopefully can turn that around and rip off three in a row. Expecting a big game from Embiid, and hopefully Toby continues to do his thing. Shake should get more shots as well.

3-1 in the bubble

Solid W over the Magic who had our number this season.

Horford with a big game.

Its a shame it took a Simmons injury for Alec Burks to get a lot of playing time. Dude can score.

Scraped past another sub .500 team, with Embiid and Harris having to play almost 40 minutes to achieve it.

All the same problems are still there, we learn nothing new every time this team plays. Neither do they it seems lol.

No Simmons, Ribinson or Korkmaz. That's 3 of their top 8 guys in the rotation.

I know Orlando had their injuries, but this was still a good win as a first game without Simmons. Big second half against a team that has beaten them multiple times this season and seemed to always play them well.

Plus, a win is a win. 3-1 in the bubble. I'll take it.

Sooo Sixers locked in to either the 4th, 5th or 6 seed for playoffs basically (unless Boston loses out final 4 games and Sixers win out).

Either way, they're either playing Boston, Miami or Indiana in the first round no matter what. Home court doesn't mean much in the bubble, so at this point these games are just about figuring our rotations and seeing what works best because the 6 seed is just as valuable as the 3 seed rofl.

Yeah because the Sixers can't beat the Celtics or anything

Literally a matchup nightmare for Boston. Their biggest weakness is the Sixers biggest strength. Straight bully ball inside, they're too small.

Without Simmons tho Boston has a chance though we'll give them that. Still won't be an easy out though.

Agreed. Glad to come out with the dub. Wasn't looking great at points in the game but they never got behind much, and the better team won.

I think they can win against any of the three, but would prefer Cetlics or Pacers.

They were 3-1 against Boston this year, a more favorable matchup for Sixers. Heat I'd be a little concerned with, though.
