Well once again, the Sixers lose to the Bulls. It seems the Bulls and Hawks just have the Sixers' number. Maxey, George, and Embiid all played and played reasonably well, but this time the bench didn't really contribute much. Jared McCain, V.J. Edgecombe, and Quentin Grimes combined for a total of 18 points. That's not really going to cut it on most nights. Everyone is saying it's just a matter of stacking games together instead of randomly here and there, but this 'Big Three' have not resulted in a lot of success recently.
Today is going to be a massive test for the Sixers as they face last season's NBA Champion OKC Thunder and last season's NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in OKC. Phew, the Sixers have been playing pretty inconsistent but a win over a team like the Thunder would be THRILLING.
No Joel Embiid today, there may be a ton of questions around the Sixers if they end up winning this game without the big man on the court...
Had a great Christmas with my son, Titans and Sixers are on at the same time. Life's good indeed!
