Balanced, dominant, methodical effort against an inferior opponent so far. – 8:36 PM

Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
The Thunder will end the year with a challenging match up against the 76ers. OKC will look to match Philadelphia’s physicality, as well as dictate the tone of the contest.

Fun fact that I hope someone besides me cares about:
Matisse Thybulle and Isaiah Joe used to warm up at the same time as teammates.

📅 On this day in 2016, the @Houston Rockets James Harden ended the calendar year with a bang, tallying 53 points, 16 rebounds, and 17 assists in a win over the Knicks.
He’s the only player in NBA history to record at least 50p/15r/15a in a game.

Sixers short term resolutions:
-play D before the 2nd halves
-stop avoiding Harden-Embiid pick-and-roll in crunch time
-few more spacing sets for James
-stop benching Harden AND Embiid at the same time for all-bench
-let Tucker rest so he’s not washed
-upgrade Doc + Trez – 3:03 PM

Tyrese Maxey will miss tonight’s game in Oklahoma City as he works his way back from a broken foot. James Harden and P.J. Tucker are both listed as questionable to manage their foot and knee injuries, respectively. Not surprising on the second night of a back-to-back. – 2:34 PM
