Are these guys vaccinated and they are having break thru cases?  Or....did these f'ers pull a "Rodgers"?

and I'm only an hour north of Philly in NJ.....should I grab my sneaks and head down to the Center?  I'm sure my 5'6", 53 year old body could at least toss some alley oops!!  Because at this point, can they even field a team?

pffft.....5'6" in heels, maybe.

Have no idea what’s going on in that organization, but both Brown and Tatum were called out recently by Marcus Smart for never passing the ball. Could be some frustration growing within the organization, who knows. 
 

As good as Brown is, I almost feel like it would be a mistake to add him to this team. Ball movement has been so great this year, which is why they’ve been so damn good. I have concerns that Brown would come in and act as a ball stopper and disrupt the movement.  

What, like what. 

Right now this is a regular season team and you need a wing bucket getter to win in the playoffs. Jaylen is exactly that and still getting better every year 

Simmons not getting Covid by sitting out

Maybe I could borrow yours you sick f.......

Still too early for Harris to be back?

I bet he tries to make out with Joel when Joel is sleeping tonight.

Things were going too smoothly so makes sense covid will ruin the season

It’s the second week of November so no biggie.  Now some players getting sick in April would be another matter.

Harris is reportedly vaccinated. Don't know about anyone else. At my wife's hospital break throughs are very common. Half her department seems to have gotten it (she hasn't). Vaccinated people in her department who have contracted covid get rid of it in a day or 2 with minimal symptoms. 

When you find out half the Sixers roster is out

I said what I said. Yeah teams that win in the playoffs generally have a wing that can score, but that guy also needs to average more than 2.5 assists. Browns best year for assists was 3.4. Other than that he’s basically been a 1.5-2.5 APG guy. 
 

To average fewer than three per game shows a guy who doesn’t keep the ball moving. Go ahead and look at all these "bucket getter” wings that have won championships recently. Doubt you can find one that doesn’t put up decent assist numbers.

klay thompson averages 2.3 apg for his career & his best season was 2.9.

Yeah.  Supposedly Harris has it pretty bad though, according to Doc

kawhi only averaged 3.3 apg during his season with the raptors.

Doc just complimented Kork on the fact that when you draw something up for him,  he shoots it. 

That's not always a great thing.  But he said it as a compliment. Whereas,  I bet he feels Maxey, and Seth are a little too passive.

Nah, we'll be fine.  Remember last year's debacle?  It got so bad that we had a game or two that shouldn't even have been played because we were so short handed.  I think Maxey went off in one of those games though.  Seth was hit so hard by covid that even when he came back he said that he didn't feel right basically until the playoffs.  Of course, that was with no vax.  Tobi tested positive but he is vaxed and is reportedly already saying that he feels fine now but he has to sit the remainder of the protocol.  The thing with the vax is that it appears to be allowing healthy folks who test positive to bounce back much quicker than some non vaxed folks who test positive.

As for Joel, as someone mentioned, this could be a blessing in disguise.  He appears to have reached a level of maturity that we don't have to worry about him ballooning up by missing a week and a half. 

If we can go .500 until Embiid gets back I'll be fine with that.

KD averaged 4.4 assists during the playoffs last year and Giannis topped out at 5.1. The two best players in the world. That is one or two more passes than Brown last year. 

Final two minutes of a close playoff basketball isn't really a team game where you get everyone involved. It is my best guy vs your best guy. 

you guys are worried about wins and losses in November? why?

Literally nothing matters at all other than getting Embiid to the playoffs healthy and getting past the 2nd round, as far as I'm concerned.

Wake me up when the regular season ends. Also, don't give a crap about home court. Saw how much that helped last season. 

Please please let me witness Ben return to Philly walking onto the court in Celtics green.

I don't give a f if he walks in with a NY Liberty uniform, he is going to get destroyed no matter what.  So much so, I've already said, I don't think he has the balls to step on the court in Philly in another uniform, it will totally be a "rest" day.  Any time he would touch the ball, the crowd would be yelling shoot, any time he stepped to the line the crowd would be chanting...."BRICK...BRICK..BRICK...BRICK...BRICK......"

If he plays in Boston he will have no choice but to suit up in Philly at some point.
