Mitch looks a good 38 years old the way he has moved all year - unless he’s been hiding the hip issue.

Also opposing centers Vucevic, Turner, Allen last night putting up some big #s outside the Embid shutdown.

For me —- he’s not a legit NBA big —— Allen for example is far superior from skill perspective.. Mitch is a complete zero - no shooting no passing and poor pick setting on offense.

Think he’s been under the radar bad this year.

He's had a broken foot and only got back on the court at the end of preseason- what exactly was he meant to work on and how was he meant to work on it with a healing broken foot? When and how was he meant to get his conditioning back with a boot on?

We beat Philly with Joel Embiid so I'm thinking we'll beat them tonight without Joel Embiid too.

7-4 is the goal.

We should see a lot of Obi Toppin tonight.

The “Obi needs to play Center” people will be happy

Korkmaz has a career high 33 points ppooping 8 threes on us (or just insert random scrub here)

Ha, Thibs perfectly captures the mood after yesterdays game:

Please don’t lay another stinker, and please don’t allow another career night for one random sixer

Joel Embiid has entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Embiid was already scheduled to miss Monday's game, but he could now miss several more games.

A significant number of 76ers' staffers have received COVID-19 booster shots and players were slated to begin receivers their shots this week.

I think two way contracts like Sims’ limit him to playing 50 games.

If he sits on the bench but doesn’t get minutes, does that count against the 50?

I feel like we’re going to need him more than we’d like this season.

No Ben Simmons?
No Joel Embiid?
No Tobias Harris?

No excuses. We MUST win this game tonight.

Good question. It seems like the Center position for us is always ravaged by injuries.

You're forgetting the random player or players who'll have a career night vs us- maybe it'll be Maxey, maybe Green, maybe Drummond will nail 7 threes-who knows!

I think Seldon's vet min deal is just a placeholder/practice player. We can create a roster spot when we need Sims. Knicks don't seem to be worried about any game limits

I hope the DNP’s were more about the ankle than anything else. Taj should be getting minutes until Mitch can handle playing a full game with high energy. Otherwise I’ll take Taj’s IQ and mobility over Mitch.
