Tucker will look better in year 2 and 3 of his deal.  When he’s older and slower.  But he’ll be tougher.  Or not.

Yep.  I noticed that.  And i liked it.  Cause Maxey was having a slower start to the season.  I liked seeing the ball in his hands more. Instead of seeing it stuck in embiids black hole. 

Racist…

 

 

Simmons gets steal and wide open lane to tie the game. Nope, he passes it 

 

 

LaRavia played 30 mins for 13 points on 5/6 and 9 boards, not bad huh @HazletonEagle

Yep.  Dude is good. 

And he does it with near KG intensity (at least in college). I'm sure when he gets comfortable in the league he will have that similar intensity on the court that you just love to have on your team. 

If this team wanted dogs, he should have been at the top of their draft board got where they were picking.

So glad we got him. He adds so much to the team

The whole article on that, and other things they are discussing in the CBA

I agree with the PA it shouldnt be on the table. It is funny to hear the Warriors complain about it but they put themselves in that position. At some point a team has to make hard decisions and move on from guys. 

Doubling the guards to get the ball out their hands and everyone else is making mistakes

It was especially bad when it was just Maxey on the court. It got a little better when Maxey and Harden were out there. They struggled a bit to try to trap both of them, and it helped to have 2 guards capable of finding a good pass out of the trap. 

But yeah.... Thats where you need a deadeye like LaRavia in the corner instead of Harris to nail those looks. 

 

 

I was really  happy with Melton today. Gave a vintage Iguodala-like statsheet stuffing line. 

But I have said, he seems to need minutes to do that. He started tonight with Embiid out. I dont think hes ever going to have these big games with bench minutes. 

 

If the 6ers had a decent small ball center (not Tucker), and someone who was a more prolific shooter than Harris, that lineup would be able to do some damage. 

seems odd

The San Antonio Spurs abruptly waived Joshua Primo just weeks after picking up his 23-24 option that guaranteed him $4.3 million.

"It is our hope that, in the long run, this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua," Spurs CEO RC Buford said in a statement.

Primo did not play in Wednesday's road loss to the Minnesota Timberwolvesand was listed as out for Friday's home game against the Chicago Bulls before being waived about an hour before tipoff.

The ailment cited on the league's official injury report was "Left Glute; Soreness."

Gregg Popovich was curt when asked about the decision to waive Primo.

Or butthurt

Once the owners surrendered to Silver during the process, the chance for a 76ers NBA Championship trophy disappeared instantly. This barely-a-decent-playoff-team-at-best is all they're allowed to be. NY has spoken...and the 76ers bent the knee. Shameful really.

Oh well, another half dozen years of fading away in upon us...enjoy.

Pass. Let the teams that want to compete and try to win championships, pay the tax. Not to mention the new TV deal is going to be outrageous and the players will want a piece of that.

They still had opportunities but had many bad trades and drafting poorly truly shut the door
