I love how Simmons scores a career high, Mr. Glass misses another game, and everyone in here is ripping on Simmons  

This team isn't sniffing a title anytime soon, with EITHER of those players

Pic of Embiid leaving the arena last night

 

Joel has only missed 3 more games than Simmons and they are 1-5 without Joel. 

I do wonder if his agent or someone gets in his ear that missing more games lessens his MVP chance. Right now he is probably the MVP, but miss another 6 to 8 games and say bye bye to that.

Cause he freaking deserves it UNTIL he proves otherwise. A few good games doesn't mean crap. He's done that in the past and then wilted away in the playoffs. Embiid is Mr. Glass, but he at least is consistent on the court.

Sixers need to find a vet European guy like the Nuggets got with Campazzo. A vet that does all the little things right and can run thr offense.

wonder if Micic coulda been that guy. We wont know.

Wonder if Ball is still available for the Pelicans? He is shooting 37.8% from 3, 74% from FT, a career 2.5 assist to TO ratio and a good defender. 

You can have Ball/Embiid come off the court together and Harris/Simmons together. 

He is a FA at the end of the year though.

He is having his best year of his career but how good is that Turkish league?

Doubtful.  Top guys outside lebron don't play every game. 

 

Kawhi has missed, Durant has missed....most do.

Jokic hasn't missed and neither has James the two other top guys. In this shortened season games matter where that might be the difference. 

Durant has already missed 10 games, will miss a few more, and is most likely out of the race. Kawhi is probably 5th or 6th in the race.

great....now Booker is definitely not coming here. Wonderful🤧

Paul Reed has been killing it in the G-League.  Player of the week.

 

yeah...reed has potential. right now he's too good for the g-league but not good enough for nba minutes. hopefully he can bulk up & contribute next season.

He is a bit of a tweener at 6'9" 210, but doesn't shoot the 3 ball. 

I still think he has a place at the end of the rotation as a small ball 5 like when Ben/Tobias are on the court together over Howard.

Yup.  He's a little thin.  Kinda reminds me of a young Thad right now.

no warm body for today, let's see how the team does without him.

No shake. No ben. Unless embiid gets 50 tonight, no chance.  

Ugggh.  Doris Burke again.  So tired of listening to her.

Nope 

team is actually hitting threes (so far) tonight...  that's a positive.

Is Ben glass man too now since he’s missing tonight’s game? 

The Thybulle that strips John Wall on the drive and then gets out to hit the transition 3 is a unicorn role player. 

embiid is out with two early fouls..  see how long he sits.

Bigger disappointment than Ben this off season. He had one job, and failed miserably. 

not to take anything away if the team wins tonight, but houston is doing pretty bad rn and even without ben..  if we have embiid..  we should win.  key word is SHOULD.  we lost to some pretty hot teams in the west on the road.  houston is not on their level, especially with who they have on the floor.

so, i'm expecting a win...  be shocked if we lose.

Maxey needs a lot more minutes. Let him make the mistakes now and trust Cassell can coach him up. 

Make Shake and him figure it out together, be able to interchange and push the pace.
