Honestly think this team is better without Simmons. 

Nice win against a hot team.  Doc left the bench in a little long in the 4th.  They still need to figure out the 4th qtr.  That's on Doc.  He needs to get things under control late in the game.

I’m liking it and those uniforms.  Hell of lot better than the boathouse row ones from last year.  But why do the Sixers have to come with a new uniform every year?

More stuff they can sell.

It is. And it could be really good if we had a real distributor at PG. Or at least one to bring off the bench. 

And Imagine if Morey would just accept another really good player for Ben already. No one including me wanted Brogdon for Ben back when that offer was first reported in like May or June. But adding his extra scoring, and assists to the lineup would be incredible. We should just pull the trigger and go get a player on that level now. Move on, and improve our team. Its gonna be really good but we should get it complete as soon as possible. Im tired of making moves late in the year and hearing the excuse how we have no chemistry in playoffs.

 

Old girls voice is tough to listen to, especially when she does one of those excited "Got it” calls. Just my opinion, maybe lots of people think she’s great.

those are people who just think its in style to be woke. I bet at least half of them are lying. There is no way people can really enjoy listening to her.

Nah.  Her calls grate me.  It just sounds so forced.

Barkan just called that the block of Joel's career.

wow.

They're 6-2 with an off his game Joel and missing various players so far.  Can't complain. 

Gotta wonder, with as well as they have played when missing starters so far this year. And as well as they, and Drummond have played when missing Embiid- does it make sense to just shut him down for a whole month or so.. early in the season and try to get him right?

Because I dont recall EVER seeing him play himself in to shape. I dont know if he recovers this year if we just give him a game of rest here and there. And I dont want this version, or worse all year from him.

Its early in the year. Team looks capable of making more noise in the post-season. Especially after a Ben trade. Do you just take some lumps now, knowing the team may be able to weather that storm? I think Id like to see them do it.

I get that.  But it’s more than most teams.

Yep.  Woke because they’re told to be.

They didn’t do the floor with last years versions.  Did they?

I’ve said this after every win this season. Trade him now before teams realize he isn’t really an asset.

Hmmmm.  I stand corrected.

He can be an asset to some team. And by winning games without him, we show teams we dont need to panic and take a lesser deal to get help right away. We are showing we can win without him so they will have to come up to our price if they want him because it isnt hurting us to have him sit here.

Hes just not the asset Morey thinks he is. And no team is going to come up THAT much. 

Those city jerseys last year sucked because at first glance, and especially to anyone not familiar with Philly, you couldnt exactly tell what the hell that design was. And, that landmark isnt exactly in Philly.

On the other hand, I saw it on a hat someone was wearing the other day. And I didnt notice any 76ers logo on it or anything. It was just a black hat with the lights on it. It almost represents Philly in general more than any particular team. I think he was wearing it with an eagles shirt, or it could have been Phillies. Either way... it just kinda worked. It shows Philly fandom moreso than support for any one team. I kinda liked that versatility it brought.

I understand that Morey probably wants Dame but I'm at the point where it's getting harder for me to depart with Maxey.  If we can keep Maxey and ship Ben for CJ or Hield + Haliburton we would be crazy deep; scoring all over the place. 

Another Portland loss tonight.  Dame putting up AI type shooting efficiency.

I know Josh lloyd (who is more known for his podcast and fantasy basketball) has said he’s heard from his sources that he’s going to need to have abdominal surgery from the strain he re-suffered in the Olympics. Im surprised he didn’t have that surgery after the Olympics. He hurt it originally late Jan and feb. And he re-injured it again during the Olympics.

I thought Simmons helped develop those jerseys.
