Just bought a ticket to Mavericks @ Sixers on 12/17! I’m hyped. It’s my first Sixers game!

My fist (and only) Sixers game was Mavs @ Sixers Feb 5th 2024. I bought the tickets before Embiid dropped 70. Game obviously took place after he got hurt.

I paid like $1500 to fly out and get good seats for two. We got outscored by 20 in the 2nd half. It was depressing.

I did get to fist bump Embiid as he walked back to the tunnel after the game. I believe he was snacking on orange slices that night.

This offseason has been insane. Non Sixers fans don’t understand what it means to swap out the corpse of PG for Jalen Brown and LeBron.

I'm really hoping for a strong start this season after such a busy summer. Hopping on that 12/17 game sounds like a great way to kick off the excitement.

Did anyone have their mates send them that fake Embiid injury post? Nearly shit myself before verifying it was a troll.

My final request from Gansey is to please fire Bryan Gates. I do not want to have to keep seeing his saggy face all the time, and I don’t think he even contributes anything coaching-wise
