Flyers and goalies.  How disappointing.

another big win. this is all going to come to a crashing halt, right? this team didn't become good overnight? danny briere and keith jones are that brilliant? flyers haven't played this well in a long time. colorado a big test. hopefully makar is still out.

Well, whenever I start watching it seems to evaporate but the bit I'm seeing...a healthy couturier and konecny may make enough of a difference in what seems to me the league with the most parity...that and goaltending?

 

Its Embiid. 

If the league wants us to win all he has to do is take it strong and he'll get the call.  Can win it from the line.  I think he knows it and part of him doesn't want it to be given.  But he doesn't have a 'take it' set of moves.  Either his shot is falling or it isn't.

Oh Ben Simmons

That year I was slow to get on that wagon.  I didn't like he wasn't shooting in college and so was leaning Ingram but at 6'10 and able to defend all 5 spots figured I was being too contrarian.  Take the guy built to play the game. 

It's a shame he is seemingly such a head case because his floor should have been a solid point-forward and an interesting PG.  Instead, it turned into a PG that won't shoot and shirks any other role.

I know a player is still worth having talent-wise if when I imagine them as a Celtic I flinch.  Boston would have made the most of Simmons somehow. 

I only skim headlines but the general vibe out there was that getting Lilliard was a slam dunk for the Bucks.  Some had them as the team to beat because of it.  I'm sure they'll be OK but goes to show big names don't guarantee anything. 

He went to the barbershop this morning...and on this morning of all mornings...on a week where the Eagles beat the Cowboys and a day after the 76ers beat the Celtics...decides to bring up the Phillies and how they got beat because Arizona's manager outcoached them.

I hate this guy, on other teams.  Memphis is dead.  I think him along side Maxey would be great, he's no star but he's a great role player.  I think he can be had, his age doesn't really fit Memphis and that team is a train wreck.  Batum's $$, some filler like Springer and whatever else it takes with a highly protected first that turns into two seconds, would that get it done?  I have no clue but I think he would be a perfect fit.  Then I'd get OG, same kind of player, not a star but excellent role player, allows Obere ()spl?) to go back to the killer 6th man.  Melton and Obere leading the second squad seems to be a better fit than adding Levine, the guy from Cleveland is a different story, if they can get Mitchell, forget all the above!

I'm in just for the superstition he'd be good luck against Boston, or help break their hex on us.

    Anytime we have 4 guys who is scoring over 19ppg. Man we have not seen that since Moses  andrew toney Dr.j .

    Oubre is real
    Harris is real 
    Maxey
             and Joel  is the system..... I think we are really good. Better than we even know. What say you.   Covington ,Furken  Morris Reed melton Morris... I think we are going to get better.

     WHAT SAY YOU???
                                           

I may be permanently damaged from the process days but I prefer not having too many stars, especially ones the ball sticks too.  I like that there is room for guys to step up on any given night.  I'm not in a rush to go 'star' hunting.
