What does Butler have to do with Harden? My opinion is that no team with James Harden will ever win a title.

Man...Butler and Harden seem like Oil and Vinegar.  I would take Butler back any day...I still say they screwed up when they didn't keep Jimmy and go after Kemba Walker.  Oh and obviously could have had Tatum over Fultz.  I am sure everyone would agree.  But I digress.

Simmons to Houston, Harden to Miami, Butler back to Philly?

Celtics were getting Tatum no matter what. If the sixers didn't trade for the first pick the celtics would of stayed at 1 and taken Tatum. Celtics knew what they wanted that's why they hosed the sixers for the #1 spot cause they knew the sixers  wanted Fultz. 

There isn't a chance the game is cancelled, is there?

We traded for the first pick and could have picked Tatum.  That’s my point.  The Sixers wanting Fultz over Tatum was the issue.

But a smart GM doesn’t tip his hand. Could have easily made it seem like we wanted Fultz, then taken Tatum

True but, the celtics had Irving at the time so they obviously had no interest in Fultz. Sixers on the other hand we all knew they were at the end of the process and were looking for a play making shooting guard or point guard. Plus I don't think teams make those kind of trades with out knowing exactly who that team is taking.

Ahh ok but like I said to nipples no way celtics make that deal unless they absolutely knew who the sixers were going to take. Sixers clearly needed a guard it was no secret and Fultz was supposed to be exactly what they needed. Celts didn't need Fultz

We get that.  But that was how the Sixers screwed up.  They liked Fultz over Tatum and the Celtics and rest of the NBA knew it, like Nips said.

Ok I got you now and see what you are saying. I think its  I just keep seeing people say that the sixers screwed up because they didn't take Tatum and they could of.. which they could of but, sixers were never going after tatum and that is where they effed up from the start. If that makes sense lol it's been a weird day 

Joel has had stone hands forever.  He needs to work on that.  Too many unforced turnovers from it.

Embiid is 0-5 so far, and shot a bad percentage last game. Hope he comes on strong soon. This is something to watch. 

I know Washington isn’t a good defensive team, but encouraging to put up 33 points in a first quarter where Embiid only had 1 point. 

Poor kid and hope it isnt serious

it was somewhat lucky that Curry went 5/5 from 3. Thats usually the type of barrage we suffer from Bertans. Nice to have someone do it back to Washington for us this time. 

Simmons started great but now hes doing Simmons things. 

And suddenly Embiid is at a dozen points.

he heated up quickly.

I refuse to believe 82 points were scored in a half from a sixer team lol

78.6% from 3. better than their % from the field. even better than their FT%

Maybe 2021 isn't bad just a twilight zone lol

Beal has 32 points already.

Wait a minute..: you mean the coach IS allowed to call a timeout before the other team cuts a big lead down to single digits? 

Beal is pretty good
