Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ

The Suns finish out the year at home against Embiid and the 76ers. The Suns will be going for their third win in a row while the 76ers will be out for revenge after Booker torched them for 46 in their arena.

Go Suns!!!

Very winnable games. Sixers are on the second night of back to backs and this is the last game in a 5 game road trip. Embiid should be ready to go against us. He sat out last night, and said after our last game that they had taken us lightly and paid the price for it. Should be a great matchup.

Thanks for making the Game Day thread, Bone!

The Sixers have really come back down to earth. 16-19? A month ago or so, people were anointing these guys as the next hot team in the East. They may still become that, but the current state of the team may not make the playoffs.

Chris's still does some dumb things. Two passes in a row. I almost put it on his team mates for not running up to him and getting a handoff

Just feels like the Sixers attack the basket while our guys are only able to sit out at the three point line passing it around.

Chriss' block gives us our second highlight of the night, after Book's transition feed to Warren.

Two ain't enough for this point in the game.

Because that's our offense. That weave crap where we run around without achieving anything or putting pressure on the D

Booker robbed of an assist. Dammit, Len.

Our interior D hasn't been great the last two games despite rebounding well.
Sixers will have their shooting lulls if we can protect the paint

If we just get it to booker or TJ inside the 3pt line then good things happen

Good move by Jackson, then he misses the layup.

Bender needs to man up and attack the basket.

Bender for 3!

He has his feet set and ready to shoot almost all the time now.

It is amazing how much trouble we have just getting Booker the ball.

Dudley looks like he needs to be hitting the treadmill after his dnp's. Getting a little too chunky.
