No, my take is watching the games. The fact people who cover them agree isn't a negative for my stance. You are out of your depth on this one and playing the race card? Get real dude. Yes, he puts up a lot of points, but he isn't a team guy. Think what you want I couldn't care less. He isn't going to the 76ers and smart people wouldn't want him vs other options.

I'm out of my depth, but your reference is a radio talk show. Suuuure thing.

I mean what team around him? What athletic wing depth does he have around Conley is a smaller old guard that is breaking down. Only bench guy is Clarkson and he is allergic to defense. 

Your counter to his series vs the Clippers is what? Radio show told me he isn't nice to play with. MJ punched Kerr, Kobe would routinely dog his teammates, LeBron will trade one of his best friends in Wade to have a better team. 

If Jazz trade or he signs somewhere the Jazz will go back to being irrelevant with a big who can't score with his back to the basket and can't be played in playoff basketball.

Keep up even though you are desperate. Referencing talk radio hosts, former players, and fans adds to my point not the basis. 

And the rest of your points are further blabbering because you obviously did not watch them on a regular basis. Nobody is contesting he can score. The issue is he plays hero ball unnecessarily to the detriment of his team. You don't get that and it isn't my problem. 

So… that Embiid is a decent player.

Facts and stats are irrelevant now Haha okay bud. Keep thinking you understand basketball and regurgitating what others say.

Best Jazz player since Malone but trade him and be irrelevant again.

I'm not saying the Jazz should trade him you once again can't follow.  I'm saying I don't want someone with either poor court vision and or a hero ball complex on the 76ers.

He is 24 and most players that age still haven't developed that skill as a scorer first.

Look at Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Lavine, Anthony Edwards, are exactly the same. Would you want them? 

 

Interview from when he was traded to Brooklyn. So, its promising that he still feels that way.

sounds like a great idea to get a coach known for revolutionizing the pace of the game. Let him make Embiid, and old man Harden (who doesnt want to score 40 all the time anymore) run up and down the court on a nightly basis. 

If he hites old Dantoni for his style that doesnt fit our old, fragile super stars then he can get canned first. 

The next coach we need is already right on our bench. 

Can Morey do anything other than get his old band back together? When those guys from Houston are out of the league does he even have any other tricks up his sleeve?

 

Cs fans are getting full of themselves again.  I can't wait for Tuesday.  He is a small snippet of their live post game chat after their 8th straight win today:

It's a mindset. Tatum never had that issue.

Both take 20 shots and Tatum is at 4 assists and Mitchell at 5.

They have an extremely similar mindset with shoot first and still haven't developed that playmaking instincts yet. 

quit arguing about basketball when the super bowl is on.

OK dude. Die on your hill. This is old. You don't live here, watch all the games, and are an expert on Spider. Got it. 

Ben Simmons sucks. 

Maybe this rumor becomes enough to drive a wedge between Doc and Morey. Maybe enough to annoy Doc, and get rid of doc, but not true enough to actually bring us D'Antoni. Thatd be the best result.

I dont know if this lineup has been confirmed. But this has been my preference as well. With Harden's extra offense, I like putting Thybulle in there instead of Green. Improving defense there to better balance the lineup. 

Green is really unreliable but it might be nice to have his shooting on that bench unit.

 

 

I would start Thybulle as well because of the depth of shooting around him. 

Go stand in the corner Thybulle

Gotta hope thybulle can develop like Danny geeen and be a good stand in the corner 3 point shooter. However by year 3 green was already shooting low 40% and for much of the rest of his career in the high 30% or low 40%. Not sure it’s ever getting better than it is. 

Any word/update on when the Beard is actually going to play?

None that I’ve seen. Would be nice to have him out there tomorrow night, but the smart move may be to hold him out until after the ASB so that hamstring gets that much extra rest. 

Yeah but the Celtics have won 8 straight and are 2 games behind us, we lose to them they are 1.....and you always want to see where you stand vs. the World Champs.  If he is healthy you play him and let's start getting this together, if his hamstring truly isn't right, then rest him (and we're f'd)!

FWIW, probably not much, but Spike Eskin said on his podcast that he’s hearing Harden won’t play Tuesday.
