Omg I am so happy hahahahaha! You literally couldn't come up with a better script

1. Hathaway about 20 ft away from an EMPTY NET with no one in front of him and gets caught from behind and loses the puck.

2. Keller **** slaps the all mighty multi time Norris winner Travis "Olympian" Sanheim and goes right by to tie the game.

3. Then Tippet and his dumb ass skates RIGHT by Keller and gives him a prime chance right from the slot and he buries out for the overtime winner!!!

**** yeah UTAH!!!!!

hahaha just an amazing collapse by your Philadelphia Flyers!!

Stuck? Yes maybe stuck with PG for 2 more years. But, I’m pretty sure it’s not a bad thing being stuck with the 2nd leading scorer at the center position.

The Cavs have been snake bitten with injuries? PG missed 18 games, Embiid 19 and Oubre 22? What do we call that?

We have 3 player to build around.. Embiid, Maxey and VJ. That’s the bottom line.

Now, if I could move PG, I would. I don’t think I would move Embiid unless a team blows me a way.

You are making excuses at this point...

You say what do you call that? EVERY F'N YEAR IS WHAT I CALL THAT AKA GROUND HOGS DAY... If you see something every single season with Embiid and George over the years, how do you say, what do we call that? INJURY PRONE... I'm getting angry reading your build around JOEL TAKE, like WTF have we been doing for a decade?

It's not massively negative, -.7, but it's negative.

The good news is that Embiid's net rating just keeps getting better and better.  It was +6.4 in December (7 games), and is +9.9 so far in January (9 games).

If Embiid makes it to the playoffs healthy, he's a good bet to play each and every game.

The bad news is that he will probably play less than half our total minutes for the remainder of the season.

Can Maxey carry us to a 500 record when Embiid is out?  The trendline is worrisome to be honest.  We started off 10-6 without him, but have lost the last 3 games he didn't play.

Oubre being back should stabilize us better when Embiid is off the court.  He's arguably our best tough bucket getter even when Embiid is playing. 

Bona and Drummond haven't been analytically great of late, but they haven't been terrible either.  Barlow and Drummond have been an epically bad pairing to date, and I don't see it getting better.  Nurse is gonna have to figure out how to keep the 2 apart even when Embiid is being load managed.

Yuuup

To be fair, "group think" does seem to work well for rating NFL draft prospects, due to the abundance of tape and data that millions of pros and amateurs process in real time.

But when it comes to rating baseball prospects, it's largely people repeating what a small number of midwits concluded based on outdated data.

When Alwaysphil says a prospect is good, that's as good a take as what some glorified bloggers working for Baseball America has to say on the matter.

General managers and intelligent fans pick up on things that less intelligent people don't pick up on.

Yuuup
