The Philadelphia 76ers will be without Joel Embiid, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, and De'Anthony Melton against the Dallas Mavericks.
Tobias Harris (illness) will go through a workout before determining his status against the Dallas Mavericks. He is listed as questionable to play.

Doncic depression game in-coming? That sequence between Powell and DJJ refusing wide open lanes to the rim and Doncic casually throwing the ball away.

[dirkfansince1998]

4vs5 on offense with DJJ on the floor.

[GATA]

Kyrie looks awful. No reason to continue to play Grant

[dirkfansince1998]

One would think that they realize that the season is on the line. That they desperately need to stop the trend. But it really feels like most players don't care. Williams and THJ are playing like guys that already know that they won't be in Dallas next week.

[GATA]

Hardaway is so awful.

[Mavs2021]

So ready to move on from THJ. Just do THJ for Goga/Harris and be done with the deadline. Also wtf Kidd. THJ is 0-6. Hardy is 2-3 and he pulls Hardy, while we have to continue watch THJ play pretend defense.

[dirkfansince1998]

THJ with his usual pre deadline performance. Last minute attempt to tank his value. Doing his best to retire as a Mav.

[Dova]

Better of tanking and trying to keep our pick at this point

This team is terrible

[GATA]

Hardy, Green, and Maxi should not be off the floor for more than 3 minutes at a time at most

[Mavs2021]

Okay just keep Green and trade THJ. He´s another crutch for Green to shy away from the responsibility and takes minutes from Hardy. We need a damn rim protector.

Also let me use this good game by Springer to mention that I was stanning for the Mavs to draft him.

[GATA]

They are doubling Luka on everything. Hardaway and Kyrie shot us out of the half. Maxi and Green keeping us in it. No idea where Hardy is

[youzigizag]

Gonna miss Green if they trade him.

Watching his progression has been one of my favorite Mavs things the past few years and only thing that made quite a few games watchable.

I dont know about League values and if 14M is too much for him...but he's a guy to go to battle with due to his hustle and 3 shot.

[Mavs2021]

Cuban: We´d like to offer you a future pick swap, so you don´t match our Grant Williams offer.
Stevens: *why would we match any offer for that scrub* ....but there can´t be any protections on the pick.
Cuban: Sure. Sure. Unprotected 1st.
Stevens: *oh shit, he´s talking about a first I only wanted a 2nd rounder* Mark you are a fair man. Deal.
Cuban: I got our guy.

[youzigizag]

Hardaway stinker.

Tuned in right has Maxi tried to pass a ball to Luka that was bad and was a turnover.

SMH.

Okay just keep Green and trade THJ. He´s another crutch for Green to shy away from the responsibility and takes minutes from Hardy. We need a damn rim protector.

Also let me use this good game by Springer to mention that I was stanning for the Mavs to draft him.

And yet he still hasn't done much since 2021. So you'd have to have a lot of patience with him.

[KillerLeft]

Missed the first half. Reading the comments here, I expected the score deficit to be much larger.

[WillE]

Sixers play with effort and will.

Mavs not so much yet. Seems like they feel all they need ist to put together one good run - which might actually be also true. But they are definitely not fully focused.

The good thing is they are only down 4 and still have a half to play. Let's see if they want it more seriously in the second leg.

[Smitty]

Missed the first half. Reading the comments, here, I expected the score deficit to be much larger.

It’s been way worse than the score would indicate.

[KillerLeft]

I would love adding Washington, but I don’t know if I could trade Green for him.
