Brooklyn Nets forward LaMarcus Aldridge abruptly retires due to health scare

Meyers Leonard is probably a better option anyhow and him and Kyrie are perfect together.

Wow. That’s pretty big news. Their front court, which was pretty bad, just got a lot worse.

Tell that to Brooklyn 

brooklyn has 3 max guys...then harris making 16, dinwiddie making 11, & jordan making 10. the rest are 2.5 or lower. 

sixers have their 3 near max guys...green at 15, hill at 10, scott at 5...then everyone else 2.7 or lower.

not much different.

He’s out for the season....

We would have won by more if they played. They sleep walked through this one. It was a let down game. Happens in sports all the time. You should know that. This is the same reason the Eagles will win a few game this season. Teams won't get up for them. 

Hope so, but I'm not sure Embiid putting up 39 is sleep walking.

Ahh didn't know he had shoulder surgery.

Claxton is a great defender, just not big enough to handle Joel. No one in the NBA can handle Joel, but can he routinely pass out of double teams without turning it over. 

Ian Mahinmi is available. Set screens and rebound

Embiid played hard, but he had some defensive lapses. Kork played hard. Harris played hard but also had defensive lapses. Green and Curry were barely there. I will fully admit that they can't beat Brooklyn if Curry and Green don't bring their A games.

Good thing they were out 

 

I wonder if this was done on purpose to make it harder for the Sixers to prepare for meeting them in the playoffs.

When the team is making 3s, we're pretty much unbeatable.

That’s because Embiid is just a monster. As long as that nice little midrange jumper is falling for him, he’s damn near impossible to stop.

Joke will be on them if that’s the case and they end up missing out on the 1 seed because of this one game. The Sixers at home are an entirely different beast than on the road. 

I'm not gonna lie, that Korkmaz play last night when the dude poked the ball away from him twice and he continued to go at him, and then took him to the rim and made the bucket as the shot clock expired, got me yelling.  We all joked about him earlier in the year but this guy is the anti-Simmons as far as worth ethic/improving his game.

If Toby doesn't play, this could be ugly.  I just saw the line as Sixers -3 / -150 o/u 220.5

Why wouldn’t he play? Did I completely miss an injury or something?

Harris is doubtful because of a knee. 

Also,  no Leonard or Shai.

When are we going to play a top 5 team when both us and them are healthy?

Maybe playoffs

I am so sick of Ben

 

Tolliver and scott are garbage
