quit arguing about basketball when the super bowl is on.

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. 

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.

He's the guy teams are going to ignore late in games in hopes that he gets the ball to shoot.

At least...he can hit a free throw......wait until Ben is on the court at the end of the game and gets fouled taking the ball out of Durant's hands.......that should go over well.

 

I hate listening to Josh Harris speak.   

 

Oof 

Bob Cooney was saying the fact that the intro presser is on game day tomorrow instead of today might be another indicator that Harden won't play tomorrow night.  Also, if he doesn't fully practice today, that's another sign of DNP for the Cs game.  

Oh well.  It should still be a fun atmosphere. 

 

Harden out until after the all-star break.  Here we go

Said that would likely be the case to begin with. Why risk tweaking the hamstring when you can give him that little bit of extra rest? Only a couple games left until the break anyway

Yep. 76ers don’t play until the 25th after the all star break. That should give Harden plenty of time.
