Embiid at 32 points in 30 minutes. Dude has just stepped his game up to another level this year.

Both are better players than Kork IMO. It’s not like he gets enough shots off to make that difference between his shooting and Maxey’s matter. 

Lineup with Thybulle and Howard makes a difference 

End of game situations, Ben go stand in the corner and run thru Harris and Joel now

 

Ball is a fun player to watch and he has watched the McGrady 13 points in 35 secs lol

not talked about enough is seth curry has been bad for much of the last 5 games. Had a giant donut tonight and has had single digits in points on 4 of the last 5. Averaging 6 points per game. I get he had covid and he is/was recovering but he has to be better

I said earlier, I give him the COVID excuse pretty much indefinitely, but realisticlaly, regardless of that you have to consider putting Milton in the lineup for him till he begins to regain form.

It’s honestly why I think they have to add a starter at the deadline or in buyouts. I like Seth Curry. I think he ideally is better as a bench guy who can give you 10 to 12 points off the bench and some immediate offense. The only problem I have with starting shake is that you lose instant offense off the bench until curry manages to get out of this.

yeah. Its beyond time to make a move. Even if its not the ben simmons blockbuster there are 2-3 moves that can be made to improve this roster. You can improve on Furk, you can improve on Scott (who hasnt played since like Janurary 15th and we have no backup 4 behind Harris), and you can look to improve on Danny Green in the starting lineup. 

3 moves to be made. 2 of them should be very, very easy and cheap to make. We have done nothing. 

Im afraid Doc is blocking too much of what Morey is working on.

I’m not sure they pull the trigger on a Simmons move this season. I think they believe like with what you said they could add couple guys and build up the roster that way. I think the upcoming nets game is going to show them that they need to make some of those lesser moves cause they can improve the roster to make it more of a challenge to the Nets

I really think DeAngelo russell or rubio would be perfect.

Russell is 24 and already on his 4th team, pass.

I’ve never been a Rubio fan, and there’s a reason Russell just can’t stick with a team.

Rubio is shooting 34% from the field.... Not sure why he keeps bringing his name up.

And not to mention Russell's hair.  Can't have that rat's nest on this team.

Thad Young, PJ Tucker, Kelly Olynyk, Nemanja Bjelica, Denzel Valentine, Mike Muscala

Some names I think could upgrade the back up Harris . Thad has spent some time at the backing up the 5 as well and will be an expiring next year. 

In all honesty do we see any team in the East beating the Nets. They have 3 guys that any other team would have as their stars and build around. The number of points they can score leads me to worry that there is no team that can keep up (over a seven game series) even with teams with better defense they would have to be able to still score at least 120? Am I just seeing things through gray colored glasses.

They'll score 120, but they'll also give that up.  They don't play defense.  It'll be a shoot out, and if all 3 guys are going off then they're gonna win.  They have zero depth and no front court right now.  I'm curious to see what they do on the buyout market.  I don't think they're a shoe in, they have some holes, but yeah, they're going to be tough to beat in a 7 game series.

no lillard tonight.

They could be missing about half their team.  Sixers Shake and Simmons are probable and Threegional Manager is still out with his knee issue.  Hoping they can get up big and rest some of the starters for the 4th.

They will figure it out with depth, getting bodies, and improving the defense. 

Shumpert signed the other day with them, nothing special but a good wing defender and ball mover.

i'd like to see them play a team that's at full strength...hopefully the nets game on saturday will give us that.

Hopefully.  Would be nice to gauge how we are against the top teams.  Besides the Lakers I feel like we haven't played any of them at full strength.  Tatum was out for the Celtics games, Nets didn't play anybody, Heat were missing Bam and Jimmy, Nuggets game we didn't have Embiid, etc...

That said they've won every game that all their starters have played which is nice.

Ben is out tonight.  So is the entire Blazers team.
