    ESPN has Gary Payton II on the box score again. Thats an odd glitch.

    I'm betting it's supposed to be Gary Trent Jr

    I thought we would win but didn't think it would be a blowout.

    Pretty dominating performance by our guys tonight on both ends. Really only negative is 21 turnovers. But we did have 28 assist. Glad see Zach see the ball go through hoop for him. But had pretty good impact on the game 7/6/4 plus a steal and a block. Maybe give him some confidence to the next game.

    What a way to see out the year!

    Beating the defending champs on their own court, playing well against them at home, then beating an Eastern Conference contender.

    It’s been great!

    I just hope we learn from this three game stretch, and continue to play the same way for the rest of the season.

    Which obviously negates the loss to the Bucks which was embarrassing.

    After tonight, we've had the hardest schedule in the league, haven't even played well, and we're 21-16.

    Just looking through Philly's fans blog. Saw this and I laughed because so many hear do not appreciate how he is playing this year.

    "We can’t have a backup center like Meyers Leonard? I don’t understand how we can’t upgrade. I hate that I’m pining for Robin Lopez."

    They really don't have any depth though, they have maybe one "ok" bench player in McConnell the rest of them is just a hodge podge of misfit toys. It's actually kind of Blazerish.

    I just know according to this forum if you lose by 30/40 points you suck and should just blow it up. Sorry, not sorry sixers.

    They traded their depth for Butler. Knowing Brett Brown from his Australian coaching days, he’d rather have the depth.

    There’s been talk about Philly trading Simmons. What kind of a trade can we do involving Leonard, CJ, and Simmons?

    They wouldn't do that, and matching salary would be tough. I think Simmons is a little overrated tbh.

    Besides missing Embiid and Fultz tonight, they gave up too much for Butler. Two starters, Robert Covington and Dario Saric. As I said 7 weeks ago when everyone here said Philly had won the trade,

    I can't imagine them giving us anything of any value for Meyers but hey Philly is welcome to make an offer.

    Meyers has improved enough that he has moved up to a level where we actually need value back if we move him. We need his big body. Only 2 bigs, Nurk and Collins) would not be enough.
