Perfect... Raps are playing the Knicks. This is a perfect test to see how screwed we are without Lowry.
If we lose to the Knicks, smfh.

NBA 2016-2017 Season |OT| What do the Liberty Bell and Ben Simmons have in Common?
- Thread starter Jarate
- Start date
At this point Lonzo Ball is gonna be known as Lonzo Ball's Dad's Son, Lonzo Ball
You never know what could happen, but it's tough when you think about the lack of back to backs probably since he was a teenager (none in college, was injured in the conference tourney). No proof yet he can hold up playing an NBA schedule.

Sixers playing Warriors close without Embiid and Simmons good stuff.
"Sixers playing without Embiid and Simmons" seems redundant

FLOY! Dammit Man!
This is where we remember that Avery Bradley is a really good basketball player, right?
I'm losing it. He was too good for this world. We'll always have those 30 games.
Seriously though, it's such a drag, but I have a really hard time envisioning any kind of a successful prolonged career for him at this point. Silver lining I guess is that his injuries aren't serious outside of basketball.

His injuries are definitely better than those of Oden or roy for sure, but yeah his body for whatever reason can't handle it. He was a volleyball player right? Maybe the low impact of the sand was easier on his body. Typically sand is worse for joints though so idk.
Also jaylen brown is out there with confidence again playing well and continues to sizzle from the corner.

Raptors please beat us.
Nah. We should have gotten rid of Brown for Boogie! Or Carmelo! Or George!
I was OK with brown but they also wanted Zeller. Not happening.
Also would like to say als touch certainly is.... Something

That looks like a roster that won't win a game against the Lakers in June.

It's actually sort of impressive to think of the Sixers in the worst case scenario of Embiid and Simmons never again playing. Their roster ends up being:
TJ McConnell
Their draft pick this year, very likely some sort of guard or wing
Robert Covington
Dario Saric
Richaun Holmes
That's STILL a good roster to develop off of. They have a ton of young talent at multiple positions
Or they could go with Corey Joseph and Delon Wright, who have been doing a pretty decent job at stepping up to the occasion
I think Raptors can get the 3rd seed back. Of course, if the Bulls are their first round series, idk, but if the Cavs face the Wizards in the ECSF, and then the Raptors in the ECF (because 6'7'' DeRozan murders Boston), then I think it's fair to say that the Cavs will be facing more adversity than the past 2 years by far.

So Toronto's defense has suddenly become more characteristic than their offense.
Ibaka looks so comfortable in that jersey

It was always supposed to be characteristic, but Casey finally has the players to do the dirty work like Tucker.
Who could forget
Truly atrociously managed game by the refs here. But Dwight is a moron.
Uh, no it's really not. Other than maybe Saric and (very maybe) Holmes and Lowawu the rest of those guys project as borderline role players on decent teams, with very low floors.
Look the situation with Embiid and Simmons isn't their fault necessarily, but it's not like they have a ton of high-upside or developmental players on their team. It's one of the things that strikes me about the 76ers, given they haven't really tried to play competitive basketball in 4 years.
