I’d guess the last time MitchBeast scored 14 points.
Touché

And OG is doing it at PF.
There’s a really good team in here somewhere.
Getting bench guys back + Brunson getting out of his funk + Mikal settling into his role + finding a defensive groove and this is the team we expected it to be.
I underestimated how good KAT is. He’s an MVP level talent. His 1:1 defense is also really good. His help is poor but it’s not all bad.
3 winnable games in a row now. Let’s get a streak.
Most satisfying win for me so far. The ball movement was first rate, and the D picked up in crunch time. We get Mitch/Precious back we'll be in good shape.
Still wouldnt mind a trade for more bench scoring from the wing though. Thinking about the postseason, more than anything.
Embiid played like he had diarrhea. He was extremely out of shape/out of sorts. He didnt even try to injure anyone. Will probably be a completely different guy next time we see him.
I’ll take every win and give guys credit for their effort, but this was as much our victory as it was the Sixers absolutely playing like garbage.
FTs & turnovers made this game close and not a blowout. Solid win, especially in hostile territory. Still a lot of work to do and bodies to get back healthy. Lets go Knicks!!!
This tweet got a laugh out of me because I know how true it is. The random short distance full force passes from Randle always confused me.

Knicks don't have more improvement in play incoming and reinforcements on way ?
The most surprising thing about KAT is how good of a passer he is. I had no idea. The wrap around pass at that angle and he hit Hart right in his shooting pocket with enough force to get there before the defense can react is amazing.

We have a significantly more talented roster than Philly even if and when Embiid is 100%

I don't see it that way - they are missing Maxey who was putting 40 on us and this kid from Duke looks like another H. Bibby once he settles in. You put Maxey/McCain/Oubre/George/Embid on floor that's a ton of skill.
Embid is disgusting to me - such a big slob and dirty player....biggest guy on court flailing/falling down when Deuce blows on him and at the same time trying to hurt people with cheap shots. Disgusting player to me.
Personally I thought we were very sloppy tonight - not sure where our turnovers ended up but whole team looked like butter fingers to me.
Brunson was oof -- I'm not sure he even sees Kat on the floor about 85% of the time and he had more TO's vs Assists tonight. Feel like he's had 1 really good game. Mikal is really soft & unsure dribbling the ball - didn't expect that from him.
Game balls to OG, Hart, Deuce and Kat was pretty solid though I thought he settled after the 1st quarter and some of his drives were going nowhere.
Bridges was ok - made some key mid-range shots but the 3 ball looks like he's praying it hits rim and again when he dribbles I get flashbacks to Julius backing into triple teams.
I said Deuce can't create his own shot today and tonight he comes out kung foo fighting, wheeling and dealing & dishing and swishing.

Says a lot about the Philly D.

It's all in his head.
If Brunson was out and Deuce was getting 35+ minutes a game, you'd see a different player, IMO.
We've seen signs of what he can do, but I think he can do more.

Definitely worth noting that he’s becoming a sniper from all around the arc and also hitting them while contested. Almost DDVish the way he’s shooting this year.
