Did he say draymond and Noah were elite players? I thought he said they were elite defenders. If he said elite players that’s ridiculous. They were definitely all star type players but they weren’t superstars. I’m not talking about lebron, lillard, curry type all stars. Like bottom of the all star roster

Even doc Rivers laughs at silly fans that think Ben is terrible. You guys just keep on hating all you want everyone in the league knows Ben is an elite player.

I don’t have a problem with flipping Ben for Beal, but that isn’t going to happen.

He is about to win DPOY....

So he tried to justify calling Simmons elite because he'll win DPOY. I was just showing that the award does not mean a player is elite.

 

Going in to the game knowing the top scorer is out guess how many points Ben will score. 

I'm going with 13.

15. They are gonna hack a Ben again. He likely going to get 12-14 FT. He hits half thats 6-7. I think he gets 9-10 other points.

Tonight?  30.  
 

 

If Doc was a smart coach he would put Ben at the 5 and bring in Maxey or Hill.  But Doc is a gutless boot licker so he’ll cater to Ben’s wishes.

Right? The starting lineup should be Hill, curry, green, Harris and Simmons. That’s your best lineup to go with. Still good defensively and offensively your best option. I would say maxey but i like him off the bench as a spark. I think starting you lose some of his spark he can provide plus i rather go with the veteran in hill coming off a really good game as well.

I agree that should be the lineup, but I wouldn’t be mad about Maxey getting the start. Either him or Hill, with Ben at center. It’s too logical... so expect Scott at center again. 

Another season down the toilet.........

Ben had a terrible game.  He is embarrassed but he will never admit it.  He is a guy who likes attention while pretending he doesn't like attention.  Therefore, in front of the home crowd tonight, he will come out and play aggressive.  He will yell like a fake tough guy after he throws down a dunk or 2 to try to get the crowd riled up.  I think he scores 22 and we win this one by 5.

If they didnt have Embiid to begin with, they might not have. However, I still expect them to win 1 out of the next 3 even without him. 

im being a bit cynical right now, i actually expect them to to win tonight. i can't lie though, the idea of howard and simmons being put on the foul line when the game is on the line is a bit worrisome.

I mean that is what I would start with 

Ben, Tobias, Green Curry, Maxey.

Times like this that maybe we should’ve played Paul reed more and maybe he’d be contributing similarly to maxey. 

I actually say start Reed tonight........

Over 229 seems like a safe bet tonight

Play to Ben's strengths and run run run. 

Ben, Tobias, Green, Curry, Maxey 

Their bigs can't post up so can put Harris or Ben them

Simmons out here making houses before the fans arrive 

 

honestly, idk who i'd start. i wish we had a better rebounder/rim protector off the bench to plug in. dwight can get some boards...but he's not nearly the defender he once was...not even close. hopefully the sixers won't let westbrook get 15-20 rebounds again.

Frankly i rather see Paul reed fail then Mike Scott fail. Scott i know sucks at least reed is getting minutes that could eventually be useful. Scott is going to give you crap and the minutes aren’t going to be useful at any point in time 

Amazing what 2 days can do to your season.....well at least we have the Philli....um no!  Well, we can look forward to the Eagl.....wait!   Ok...The Fly......bwahahahahah!!  Looks like for the next year....I'm going to have to find something to do!!

Embiid is day to day he could play next series and make an impact. I’m not losing hope yet.
