Harris seems to be such a great locker room guy. I really like Harris, and love to see him seemingly regaining his Clippers all-star worthy form. Hope it sticks.

I cant wait to watch 6ers outsiders!

I’ve seen all of Thybulle’s vlogs.   Harris seems like a cool dude.   Seems that Thybulle hangs out with him and O’Quinn the most.   Ben is nowhere to be seen in any episode I’ve seen. Not surprised.  He probably spends most of the down time looking at himself in the mirror.

yeah.

I had heard about Harris, but those vlogs are a great look behind the scenes. I dont like that they ended up all kneeling, but I respect the way they had those thoughtful discussions. Lead by Harris and OQuinn. Love that Thybulle is hanging with them too.

Funny how Ben hasnt been seen. Joel isnt really on them but you occasionally see him in passing. I wonder if Ben has asked to be edited out for some reason. Too big a star to make an appearance on someones channel for free. Just like he was too cool as a rookie to partake in his rookie hazing duties of picking up Chick Fil A for the team. 8 points, 2 rebound tonight. So good. 

Thankfully we passed on Michael porter jr

yeah. we couldnt wait for that back to heal. "Didnt fit our timeline" so we made a win now move and drafted Zhaire Smith.

I didn’t mind Smith or bridges if Michael Porter Jr. wasn’t on the board. The guy would’ve been a top three picks he didn’t have a back injury. At 10 it’s the risk you take cause the pure upside if he’s healthy is another star type of player.

Yep

Well, glad they didn’t give up on Shake after one crappy game. Now see if he can keep on improving. 

ben has been pretty bad & getting lit up on defense...i'm hoping it's just him working his way back.he missed a bunch of games prior to the shutdown, so there could be some rust. 

Could be rust. Could also be his fragile ego is damaged being moved out of the PG spot, even if he’s publicly saying it doesn’t bother him.

he was my dude in that draft...☹️

2 straight games giving up 40+ points in the 4th quarter. 

Brett Brown should be fired for gross misconduct.  His rotation at the end of the first half was head scratching.  Oh and anytime a coach puts Neto in they should be subject to a fine and lifetime ban from the NBA.  I understand trying to ease the players back in and Simmons foul trouble, but some of his rotations are just head scratching.  Also it's only 8 games then playoffs.  Take the goddamn training wheels off.

On a side note, it seems as though the refs are calling pretty ticky tack fouls so far.  Hopefully they let them ball when the playoffs start.

On the bright side, without Ben in, the Horford/Embiid pairing with Shake/Jrich/Harris played pretty damn good.  Shows Horford and Embiid can exist on the court together but not when you throw in Ben.

yeah...the more i watch, the more i realize it's ben who is f'n impossible to play with.  swap ben with @DaEagles4Life's boy beal & start planning the parade down bro-ad street!

Ive changed to the trade Embiid camp recently. Seeing how Ben was laying mor and more 4.  But if Ben totally sucks it up at PF full time then there's no place left for him on a roster and id be forced to change my mind again. 

unless every other player on your team is a 3 point shooter...including the centers...ben is nearly impossible to build around. 

TLC just dropped 26 on the bucks

I don't profess to be an expert by any means, but to me it's painfully obvious that the right course to take is to fire BB and bring in a real coach who can figure out to make it work with two top 15 players in the NBA.  Oh and get a legit f'n shooter

Or he Fing shoots. It's basketball Ben and it's okay to shoot 30% because your dope is NEVER shooting 40% from 3

It clearly is just work ethic. I look at what Giannis has done in the last five years and you can see he lives basketball. Ben just doesn't give a crap. Send him to play with KAT in Minnesota and will have two uber talented players that don't care.

I don't think it's work ethic at all.   I think it's 100% revolved around his own self image, and he has such a mental block with shooting the ball he doesn't want to be viewed as anything other than perfect.  Right now, he truly believes he's an all-time great.

You both seem to be right. He does think he is perfect. And is concerned about his Hollywood image. But he also doesnt seem to work on basketball nearly enough.
