I wonder how they will figure out the rest of the regular season schedule I read yesterday you play your remaining schedule and skip any game scheduled against a team that isn't there. Not sure if that was final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemack8 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm sure Simmons has done nothing but work on the 3 pointer since the league was suspended - wait till he comes back raining bombs baby!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Is so much to unpack but good on Silver and the NBA for getting this done first. I do wish they would have experimented with group stage. Would have been a lot more fun to watch in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 So regarding the OKC pick, it looks like OKCs 8 games will be the Jazz, Wizards, Grizzlies, Heat, Nuggets, Suns, then both LA teams. The pessimist in me is certain we are losing that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you wanna bet that somehow in the 8 game regular season, the 6ers lost that OKC 1st round pick, and also get bounced in round 1 of playoffs?

I’d rather watch Dr Phil than that garbage. Yes, the English Premier League. Honestly, it'll be better than most NBA playoff games. The highlight of that lineup is the NHL.

nipples Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Would anyone even feel that great about it if the Sixers somehow did get on a run and win it all this year? Would be a huge asterisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBhunter58 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/76ers/nba-awards-sixers-ben-simmons-defensive-player-year-disrespect Kinda feel like he got snubbed. I love criticizing his lack of shooting, and I will never understand why he doesnt just chuck up a few shots. BUT dude has been pretty lockdown on defense this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I am too. I'm not excited that it's resuming but once it's on, I'll get caught up in it. I think the asterisk thing is kind of overblown. The Redskins have 2 championships from strike shortened seasons, including one where 3 games were played by scab players, and it almost never gets mentioned.

Yeah I get that, and if it happened I’m sure I’d be thrilled. Just feels like it would be less meaningful in a shortened season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I didn't really read up on the format, but for the teams not in the running, is there any incentive for them to actually try or will it just be one big tankfest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be funny to watch how they try to lose though. Even though we lived it for 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have to say... The Last Dance documentary has turned me to a Bulls fan. In my defense I was never really on the Sixers train, I know the Bulls now aren't a good team and my brother lives in Chicago so I will go to Bulls games.

But I assume a lot will be upset about continuing this late. They are used to having their summers off. Now, theyll play through all of summer. There will be a short break and starting next season late will result in a condensed season with a whole lot more back to backs to pack the schedule in and try to get back on track. OR will cut in to their summer again. As I said initially, this was a really stupid plan by the NBA. I dont think it was smart financially for the league. And I dont think many of the players are liking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 2 stories out there about Ben Simmons. 1. He's working out with Dwyane Wade 2. Hes added muscle. I'm not sure about this one because we saw a similar pic of him years ago with veins popping while he's lifting. He doesn't have that same level of definition and vascularity during the season. I think he just has a pump going in thre pic. But... maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
