therealdawk Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Can we consider those two FT makes at the end by Ben to be clutch? Anyway, I'll take a win over the Cs any day but especially with Curry out, maxey off his game and ben almost going for a triple single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Sexton with another 30 point performance going on with 50% shooting so far, and added a block and 2 steals for the "but the defense" folks. Just saying..... Before the season I figured Cleveland was like a last resort deal. But Im really becoming a Sexton believer. Hes major competition for Shake as most improved player. The jump he is taking this year is insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4for4EaglesNest Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Embiid was excellent tonight. He was wearing them out in the post. Great to see. Ben is a waste of sperm. He just don’t give a ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Sexton up over 40 in the blink of an eye, and Durant, Harden, and Irving are falling to the Sexton led Cavaliers.

Then with Mike Scott 4.7 million, Sixers can bring back a guy on multiple years with a higher salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazletonEagle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wonder about Gordon and Fournier. I like this package because depending on the night/matchup youd either be replacing ben with a PF if you want more size and defense, or youd be replacing him with the shooting and scoring of Fournier. Neither player is perfect, but it offers nice flexibility with different skillsets to adjust to nightly matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big 3 combined for 96 and they still lost. Our full roster can take the Nets if the defense is tight and the scoring is balanced with help from the bench. Danny Green is probably the only starter we could miss and still have a shot at beating the Nets. But even Danny can still get hot every now and then.

But Nugs were a playoff team recently and Murray had a long stretch of extremely high level play where I dont think the Nugs would even consider it for a second. I dont even know how he/they are doing this year yet. Can we get greedy and add Will Barton too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny isnt very good, but hes been so much more than I expected him to be this year. I had gotten used to seeing him be like 1-3 with 2-3 points for an entire game just about every night. Hes taking, and making a ton more shots for us this year. And he hasnt gotten as stiff and slow on defense as I thought. In fact, he was awesome down the stretch tonight.

Mat Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Embiid is an absolute beast. He shot and made more FT's than the entire Celtics team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaEagles4Life Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Why? What is Ben's value to you? Some people over value the F out of Ben. Dude is scoring 12ppg this year and all he is doing is hindering Joel and his low post dominance. He will become more irrelevant once the playoffs start and have to play a half court game, but beating a dead horse at this point. Grant is 25 ppg, 39% from 3 on 7 attempts, 86% from the line, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and only 26. I would take those numbers over Ben's any day of the week.

The_Omega Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Rivers isn't the only ego in the league. There's lots of coaches, GM's, owners, and other execs who see young all-star and are confident that they too have the ability to get more out of him. He has value, and it behooves us to get as much as we can for him. We just have to hope that Rivers, ultimately, doesn't let his ego get in the way of us dealing him.

mr_hunt Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 they've thrown so many resources at the guard positions/shooters that you almost have to get another wing/forward in return for ben...and one that can play d or else you'd lose a lot on that end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! I have been saying it for a few weeks now. They don't need a guard, but a wing that can create his shot off the dribble and hit open 3s when Embiid passes out of the double.
