WHY ARE THEY PLAYING KATE SCOTT VIDEOS DURING THE PHILLIES GAME?!?!?!? 

#BOYCOTTPHILLIES

ESPN ranks Maxey 24th on list of best players under 25.

Could that really be so? Or more evidence of ESPN Philly hate?

Must buy

 

Try not to act like a poor person and buy all 302.

Games alternative every other day except game 4 and game 6 where they’ll have two days off leading up to the game.

Please dear baby Jesus.

Rumors of Fred Van Fleet out for Game 1. Can anyone confirm?

Who cares.  Won’t matter

Hopefully this will get us a new coach

I don’t get the Cassell hype. He’s never been a HC, so we really have no clue if he would be good or not. I understand that he MIGHT make a great HC, but he could also be a major flop.

Embiid was available as both C and F 

The 2 forwards were Giannis and Tatum, and well F Boston

I don't know who I want to lose more in the Boston - Brooklyn series.

I never saw that confirmed anywhere 

 

Here is Lowe's explanation 

I opened my ballot and saw the instruction I had forgotten: Please vote for the player at the position he plays regularly. The queasy feeling from last season -- when I slotted Embiid onto second team despite the same dual-eligibility -- returned.

Even boasting ultramodern perimeter skills, Embiid and Jokic are centers. They are first and second in post-ups. On most nights, they guard opposing center s.

Brooklyn....and it's not close.  

 

 

The Embiid ish really pisses me off.  I want him to win it more than I want them to win in the postseason.  I wonder if his motivation level will be maintained.  

This is either going to be really good or really bad for us. Joel is going to go out and try to make a statement. Can he keep his emotions in check and go beast mode or will he try to overcompensate and get sloppy?

oh, okay. weird though. he couldn't be more of a center.  

nba media types love them some jokic though....advanced stats & stuff.

Idk i really hate Ben Simmons. Not sure i want to see him succeed in anything. Frankly i hope both lose lol. That said i can’t imagine sending Simmons out there without playing all year into the middle of a playoff series. Seems like Boston of all teams would expose him like they did in his first playoffs and he could completely collapse and/or if he has a legit back issue i could see the same thing that happened in the pandemic year where he got 4.5 months off and he still wound up hurting it.

By "real", I think you mean "old" but I agree with the sentiment.

The way All NBA voting works, as I understand it, is as follows: 

lets say there are 50 voters. 20 vote Embiid as 1st Team Forward, 20 vote Embiid as 1st Team Center (the other 10 vote him as C/F for 2nd Team). 

but say 30 vote Durant as F and 30 vote Joker as C. Those guys only got 30 1st team votes, Embiid got 40 1st team votes, but 30 trumps 20, so Durant is the F and Jokic is the C. So a guy being able to be voted as a F/C or even as a G/F actually hurts them if there vote is getting split into 2 different buckets. 

If these are accurate, I might lay money on the 2nd Team in a 3 game mini-series. 

First Team

Guard: Luka Dončić
Guard: Stephen Curry
Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Forward: Jayson Tatum
Center: Nikola Jokić

VS

Second Team

Guard: Trae Young
Guard: Ja Morant
Forward: Kevin Durant
Forward: DeMar DeRozan
Center: Joel Embiid
