Sixers press conference at noon on Tuesday as well to introduce Harden and Millsap. Could be that one or both of them are playing Tuesday.

Celtics have turned it around a bit, winning 8 in a row. i liked them better when they were losing and there was turmoil, talks of breaking up Tatum/Brown, etc.

Disappointed that Harden will not be ready, but it makes sense...let him rest up through the all-star break. I wish Joel could take the break off as well. These next 2 games are very important IMO...the win over Cleveland was nice, but the Celtics are better IMO and the Bucks are who the Sixers will need to unseat. I would be happy with the Sixers winning 1 of these last 2...win them both and that is about as good as anyone can ask for.

Joel is playing all-world...but this is the game I really want to see for him. For some reason, Horford who played NO DEFENSE for us, has had great success against Joel.

Championships aren't won in February. Good to recognize that being healthy long term is more important than short term success.

they could go 0-2. makes no difference as no Harden means its a completely different team.

Did not take long for a really bad call from the refs....Brown gets the call while hoisting a 3.

I was already worried about this game...Embiid off to a bad start as per usual against Horford....I just dont get it

[BelmontShore]

Slow start vs the better athletes.

Tatum and Brown have done whatever they've wanted.
