Extreme Philly Sports Forum

We only look good against Tomato Cans... We continue to play just above a .500 team... We continue to make someone have career nights.... We continue to have Joel Embiid miss games... We continue to have Paul George miss games... We continue to have a lack of chemistry... We continue to have a flawed roster...

We are 15th in scoring, which is middle of the pack, average... The Sixers are +1.1 in points differential... FG PCT%, only Portland, Brooklyn, and the Pacers are worse... Middle of the pack in 3 point % tied 16th... Middle of the pack in rebounding, 16th in the league... One of the worst assist teams in the league, only Boston and LAC are worse, averaging 24.4 APG...

What are we doing? Stop lying to yourself as if this is some form of entertainment... As if we are some true contender... Stop saying we are a PF away... Because it's not the truth... Stop saying that Joel Embiid is back... That Paul George is back... Stop saying that we can win the EAST... Stop lying to yourself... Wake up and smell the coffee... 

What do you suggest we do? Almost none of us wanted PG or Embiids extension. Don't take it out on us.
We're stuck with these contracts. All you can do is try to make it work. A PF in a reasonable deal wouldn't hurt, IMO. Barlow/Walker/Watford... there's a lot of room for improvement there.

I think it was more about matchups than anything else.  PHX is a basically small ball team, and you need wings to matchup w them.  PG getting another day of rest was prolly due to them wanting him to rest for PHX wings.  PHX isnt a big team, they have Mark Williams, but thats about it at C.  And he's day to day.  He played last night tho.  You need wings when you play PHX.  Their whole team is basically G/F.  Williams, O'Neal, Brooks, Booker, and Gillespie are their starting 5.  Grayson is their 6th man.  Goodwin, Dunn, and Ighodaro fill out their rotation.  O'Neal starts at PF and he's 6'6.  They are a small ball team, but they can SHOOT.  They're also on 2d leg of back to back, as they played BKY last night.

I agree 100% with bskller... Matchup don't have anything to do with the Pacers stink and the Suns are a playoff contender... Maxey alone should have been good enough to beat the Pacers... And you come back with your full roster against the Suns...

The Sixers lost by 6 points... I'm not a Embiid fan, but he would have made up some kind of difference... The foul attempts at the line... Matchups? We're talking about matchups?

And this is why I say we have not been the same since Ben Simmons defensively, not to mention the advantage he had with smaller guards... Should we have not took advantage of Ben against the smaller players and made him a PF... Matchups? We talking Matchups... Not a NBA regular season game... Matchups...

Documented control is fine.  But the Democrats would love to make it a state as they will pick up two more Senators & House members.  Greenland is very leftist.

That's ok, we will checkmate them with Alberta.

He isn't going to invest billions of $$ to build infrastructure on an island that may one day turn around and sell said island to say China. Trump wants to ensure the U.S. has documented control.

but but that is not right!!!!

President Trump demanded ownership of Greenland in exchange for continued US support of NATO, arguing "you can't defend it on a lease."

"What we're asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it. You can't defend it on a lease," he said.

Trump, during his speech to the World Economic Forum, also bashed NATO leaders for not paying enough to the organization -- an issue that has long irked the president.
