SPOILER: Columbus finds America
Not going to lie, hate the sixers are getting rewarded for losing on purpose for so long.

Simmons and embiidd look incredible.

Damn! Sixers threw that game away
They are young as shit.

Young teams are going to play well but make mistakes. And you can't beat the best teams if you are making those dumb plays.

They will learn.

Takes a few years to season the young ones though.

They ain't all Big Ballers...

That wasn't a great look for Redick, but whatever. Young teams don't have poise and turn the ball over down the stretch, news at 11.
 
IMO the Sixers really messed up not getting a steady veteran pass-first point guard. Would have been really helpful to the development of their young players and given a softer landing spot for Fultz and Simmons (to a lesser extent).

I think Philly is too in love with idea of Simmons playing Lebronball to not give up big money to a spot-up shooter free agent.

Well, the Nets looked super sloppy tonight, but they're not untalented. Should be fun to watch them even though they won't win many games.

LMAO, someone gif that Embiid jumping looking like a baby bird trying to take flight. You're like 7"3 dude, he's not lobbing it over you, stay calm.

That was a fun game. That third quarter was brutal,

I told you guys Simmons was gonna be good. 18-10-5 in his first game. That's gonna be a low assist number too

I think it is going to be tough to win games when Brown is in foul trouble and Rozier is outplaying Irving.

Giannis has been pretty much unstoppable in the paint.
 
I don't think anyone has any expectation from the Mavs.

Just give DSJ the ball and tank your way into more pieces seems like a solid plan.

Yea but the whole situation with Noel is bullshit. Mavs are being fucking petty putting him on low minutes.

Dirk is freaking 40 and the whole advantage of having him is to stretch the floor which you can't do with him playing center.

I fucking hate Mark Cuban.
 
Happy with how the Sixers looked against the Wiz tonight. First job for Coach Brown is sorting out their spacing. Lots of occasions where they had three guys standing within a few feet of each other.

Really terrible call to foul Brown out. Pretty savvy by Giannis though with the jersey pull towards him.

Brown really has to figure out how to use his body and leverage defensively. I think he will though. Starting with LeBron and Giannis isn't exactly an easy slate.
 
Well it's either that or he won't last 3 minutes on court off the bench.

Dude literally cannot play unless he warms up first. He is way to stiff to play cold.

You can have Dirk play his natural position at the 4 with Noel at the 5. Just put Dirk on a slight minutes restriction.

edit: ffs Noel has the highest + rating in the differential on the team. Mavs are being petty.
