Minor quibble. Im kinda thinking Pelle was much better than Tony Bradley of this Poirier guy. Did he sign somewhere for more than a vet min? If not Im thinking we should get him back on a vet min deal. 

This white SG looks horrible. Woulda been a great night to watch Shayok explode for 30 in this quarter. 

 

 

Cant wait for 6ers outsiders!!!!

 

Nice to see them not even come close to blowing that big lead. 

What do you guys think of Seth Curry so far?  Seems like a younger, slightly better version of JJ Redick, at about 1/2 of the price...?

yeah it was a great move. 

Missed the game but see that Ben hit a 3. This is what is so infuriating with him. When he actually shoots them, he can hit them. He just refuses to do it. 

First in the east with an mvp candidate and havnt even traded for harden yet.

As soon as Ben hit that 3, they actually started defending him on the perimeter...shocking!

Embiid is a beast. When he is on he is near unstoppable

Well only wants to shoot them if he can make them at 40% ... Which is unrealistic and an excuse not to do it. Or whatever the hell percentage he said he wanted to hit them at before he shot them regularly.

Yeah, we have seen this story before though. If he can do it more consistently without those absolute clunkers in between because his feeling were hurt or he is just hurt physically.

It's on the coaching staff to manage him properly. When he comes out playing monster minutes knowing he can break down that's on the coaches. One of the keys to the Raptors winning the championship a couple seasons back was the way they manged Leonard. This is probably the best shape he has been in and unlike Ben he is ultra competitive, works on his game and wants to win.

Best Center in the NBA.  He's also a Top 5 overall player if he continues to play at this level. 

No harden yet?

Agreed. As long as he keeps his conditioning up for the entire season he will be in the MVP race. The next step is for him to be able to dominate the Gasol's of the league that seem to throw him off his game offensively. He has been living at the FT line throughout the early part of the season so that's a great sign

Watch Howard on the low block begin to hold his defenders arm so he can't move to make a play on the Maxey drive.

This is unfortunately behind a paywall for me

Surprised he didn't get called for this since all his other fouls are on the offensive end of the court 

Maxey also looks pretty explosive. He can blow by people

Thank goodness.  They were showing his stats last night on ESPN and he's way down in all categories.  

I’m not a Ben fan but I’m sorry I want no part of Harden. Hard pass.

aliright then enjoy seeing the sixers turning into the 2001 team and 2011 pretank team because until we get another 30 point scorer for embiid, we are not going to win a championship with embiid doing it all.
