As I was saying, Simmons defense is really good/great but, he still isn't even the best defender on his team. 

If he could just develop a corner 3 they could finally trade Danny Green. 

Simmons is working out at the practice facility

He has taken I think 10 shots from 3 so far this season. He did whiff on one completely in this game, but his shot has looked better. I'd like to see the number per game increase and see what his percentage is like then

Also had 3 boards and 2 assists.  A very productive 23 minutes.  If he ever gets his O game solid he'd be a great all around player.

 

 

I just dont think he is going to. He was an older prospect when drafted. Played all 4 years of college. And is now already in year 3 of the NBA career. He has added absolutely 0 offense to his game. Not even a corner 3 yet. Not even a little bit.

Yeah.  I don't see his offensive game evolving but damn is he fun to watch on defense.  He put on a clinic against the Hawks. Maxey was asked about how he defended in the game and he just said he wants to be like Matisse. 

I've read the 6ers are 2nd in the league in offensive rating. Behind Utah.

Without Ben. Or even a real PG. Or a closer.

Imagine if we had even added a player like Brogdon to what this team is already capable of, and had Maxey on that Bench unit with a green light to score at will. 

Actually according to an article from today 6ers are 1st in offensive rating. 

I am still banking on the idea that Morey and Rivers are just playing politics with the Ben "inching closer", to raise his trade value.  As much as I would look forward to the theatre of him playing in a Sixers uniform, at home.  He needs to go...period.  I don't want to see his face.  And it would be ugly if he walks out onto that floor again.  ESPN would have a field day with Philly fans based on what were to happen.  It could be a safety issue, honestly.  Someone sitting down on the floor could get hit with something.  Bad idea.  

confirmed: dame is heading to philly today!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

blazers at sixers tonite. go sixers!    

 

 

I was honestly impressed with Maxey’s defense against Atlanta. Thought he did a nice job on Young. Couple tough fouls, sure, but he challenged him and forced a lot of contested shots.

Dame looks just horrible so far. Not sure if he is sand bagging it or his abs are still injured

23 minutes; 11 points, 4 steals and 3 blocks 

 

 

Thybulle's defense is a thing of absolute beauty. He had so many amazing plays!

Like them.

Hope I can pay for stuff with SHIB when I go to the game next week.

I would be ecstatic if we dropped even 2-2.5.

[Richman] Joel Embiid is out tonight (rest) against the Trail Blazers.

I guess he will play in both Wed/Thur back to backs.

I only have 60 bucks in so far.  I wanted to do it at .000024 but had just drained my coinbase and wanted to wait for it to go on robinhood.

Next thing you know it already trippled to .000075. So I bought on coinbase at .000064 or something like that.

I just want him to play in the next Knicks game.  That's the one I'm going to. 

[Ramona Shelburne] Embiid had an MRI on his sore right knee over the weekend which revealed no concerns, according to sources. Sitting this game is for rest, since Sixers have packed schedule. He’s expected back on Wednesday.

The Robinhood rumors keep on swirling.  Apparently its suppose to be listed on Kraken this week.  

Six games in the next nine nights.  I assume Embiid would also sit out next Monday against the Knicks to be ready for the national game against the Bucks? 

Also, the Cuz was saying earlier that he expects Ben to play in that road trip that starts on the 13th.  You know how Ben loves to play the Jazz but we'll see.  I still have my doubts that he puts on the uniform again. 

 

Tonight is the 25th Anniversary of Allen Iverson's debut game with the Sixers
