I'll believe it when I see it.  Should be Embiid and Harden and Harris and Maxey though.   Need Embiid and Harden to get as much play time together as possible.

I assumed those would be the pairings too.  How sad is it that our coach feels somewhat celebratory because we can now have a point guard on the floor at all times?  Only this team.

Shake is back tonight

Maxey has Dort on him tongiht. Good defender. Soon Dort will have Harden, and Maxey will be blowing by someone like Giddey or Tre Mann.

Paul reed out there looking like thybulle. 

I didnt think Curry was so important to our energy level. This seems uninspired.

well, heres a little spurt of energy to end the half at least.

Thank  you Maxey

This is encouraging if true about Harden. A little snippet from an insider article.

He had thrived as a lead scorer in Houston, but part of the reason he chose Brooklyn had been an understanding that his advancing age no longer left him capable of carrying outsized scoring expectations for protracted periods.

So maybe theres a chance he plays the Butler role and defers mostly to Embiid rather than being a big ball stopper.

Here we go. Embiid is grabbing his wrist.

Thank god we got Harden.....Poor Jo Jo has had to carry this team on his back.....also, Maxey is the anti-Simmons and is just fearless, humble and hard working at his craft.  I wish we had an enforcer on the team bad boys style that would just knock the crap out of Simmons in the lane.  I would buy tickets when the Nets come to town but no way that wuss ever plays a game here, unless.....they play each other in the playoffs.  Now that...would be just epic.  You think Carmelo got called something?  They better double up on security.

If you are the Nets, you have to make him play that game in Philly. They can’t take a chance that his first time back here is a playoff game and he’s dealing with the mess that’s coming. They need him to get it over with before then, right?

Solid point. 

Thats a tough one for them to figure out. If they try to make him play he will probably be on the floor pounding his fists and kicking his feet screaming I dont wanna!

That crowd will be screaming shoot any time he touches the ball and screaming brick..brick...brick...any time on the line.  It's going to be brutal.  Going old school 700 Level on him.

I have never gambled on sports but I’ll open an account and put money down at any site that puts up a prop bet on whether the Philly fans make Ben cry on the court.

I've said it before, how Giannis could stand on that foul line as the crowd counted to 10 each time is just extraordinary......that guy is incredible.  Ben might just crawl in a ball and start sucking his thumb.

 

Doc just said he told Milsap "if we use him itll be at the 5"

It sounds like hes not even sure Milsap will get any minutes.

This team things Paul Reed is something....  There may be times you want his energy. But Id like to see some of Milsap's mid-range ability when the bench is struggling for scoring.

That is must watch TV or even paying the premium to see it live.

At 13, Giannis was selling DVDs and sunglasses to help his family financially. He is literally living the dream. 

Ben was told he was the "one" since he was 8 and doesn't know adversity or tough times. 

Nice game from Maxey. It was such a massive win to get the Ben trade done without having to part with either him or Thybulle. 

Oh what should have been
