Tough early start road game against the Sixers. Maxey has been playing great. Harden leaving was the best thing for him. We still don’t know if Booker is playing. He’s currently listed as questionable.

Maxey is going to be a problem although hopefully Okogie and Goodwin can slow him down. Nurkic and Eubanks are going to have to be on top of their games against Embiid and Harris has been playing well to start the season - can’t afford to sleep on him either.
I quite like our chances if Booker plays but think we could get smashed if he’s out.

Not to mention a key contributor has been Kelly.....

I think we have the potential for a comeback game here. Those Spurs losses hurt, but I don't think they are signs that our team is in trouble. We have a ton of new players and several big injuries. I do think we're one of the best teams in the league once everything settles. Philly has a strong record so far, but I look at their roster and I'm not scared of them. Let's go out there and make up for those Spurs stumbles.

We all knew he was not 100% and should not have come back yet.

The question is, why does this keep happening? Why do they keep letting Booker decide these things?

I hate watching Joel Embiid flop around all over the floor.

Glad EJ called it out. He’s too big to fall so easily. Just a liability for other players health.

KD is sleep walking. Offense is struggling in general but he’s not hitting shots and just not reading the double teams well.

Lots of sloppy play. If we tighten it up, this is a tie game
