The Sixers are the first team in NBA history to lose 3 home games by 40+ points in a single season
The 3 losses:
There are 10 other teams with two such losses in a single season:

Embiid missed every single one of those and PG got himself suspended. They’re a very bad team without those two.
Much more Embiid than PG.
At this point in his career, George will have the occasional hot hand and lean into it, but otherwise he doesn’t really give a shit and on most nights he will give you the most low effort 30 minute 15⁄5 that a player can give. And that’s even when he plays, which is never a given.
Basically this Philly team is only going to go as far as Embiid’s health can get them in the postseason. Which, isn’t looking great right about now.
Only going as far as Embiid’s health has been the story for the 76ers for quite awhile now. Healthy Embiid is scary though
Healthy Embiid is scary, but the prospect of Embiid being healthy in May is not very scary.
Eh I don’t think the effort thing is true regarding PG, he seemed very bought in and playing high effort prior to this suspension, he’s just not very good anymore.
So you’re telling me embiid is still a difference maker despite people writing him off due to all the injuries?
I mean Embiid is straight up a Top 10 player impact wise when he plays this season. And looked like he was back to being Top 5 for a brief stretch before he succumbed to the inevitable.
Only an idiot (which this sub is full off) would try to deny that.
Embiid has never been a top five player even when healthy.
He literally won MVP. While I don’t think he was #1 that season, he was absolutely top 5
not surprising when both of their paycheck stealers combine for more than half of the team cap and don’t play, all the rest is converted g leaguers basically
Warriors would like to have a word with
at least warriors have a coaching identity, sixers are nothing inspiring
I’m telling you that, despite flashes of brilliance on the occasions he’s on the court, he’s still one of the worst contracts in the nba over the next few years, although not quite as bad as the PG contract.
Holy fuck
With Embiid they have a finals run ceiling, without him they are a lottery team.
Even with embid they not making a run anymore. Window is closed. The process failed
NCAA finals?
I’m sorry what
Which finals did they ever sniff with Embiid?? 😂😂😂
Finals? No.
Eastern Conference Semifinals? Yeah sure maybe.
Let me guess Embild didn’t play in any of them
PG didn’t either!
McCain didn’t play in 2 of them either
Definitely not
Oh wow look! It’s the usual suspects!
You tell me that wasn’t the worst game last night? Big ooff.
Mitch Johnson had to tell his guys to chill out or else they would have won by 60 lmao
You won’t get us this season!
Wild thing is that it’s the only playoff team out of all of them
