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

Yep. He’s exactly the type of dude Philly fans love. Perfect fit for this city.

There were a couple of sequences last night where Thybulle had back to back corner back-like interceptions and then Maxey with the step back that I wanted to bear hug Morey.  The fact that we made this trade but get to watch these two continue their development here is huge. 

 

 

Good for Glenn for calling him out 

 

Not for nothing but there was an interesting little gem last night for those of you obsessed with Kate Scott.  Earlier in the week Anthony Gargano was on his show and mentioned how he was somewhat bothered that other media folks use his catch phrases and terms without any acknowledgement of his show.  He specifically referenced Katie saying "Play The Song" at the end of one of the recent wins.  He wasn't overly mean about it from what I could tell but he did seem a  little bothered.  She called The Cuz the next day to discuss it and clear the air.

Go back and listen to the end of last night's game and you'll notice that when Kate said "Play The Song" she then says something like "...as Anthony Gargano from our sister station the Fanatic would say..."

I say that to say that she clearly has rabbit ears.  All you dudes slamming her on Twitter and whatnot, you better watch your backs.

People still listen to sports talk radio?  No wonder there are so many bad opinions floating around.
