TV-20

I'm going to guess Embiid doesn't play tonight.

Although he used to sit out games against Drummond or now Jokic
(while Drummong would 'raise the roof' as the Pistons were down 30)

Good times, lol. The betting lines are only letting you bet cade and embiid for individual player
Stats atm, so be cool to see cade again, just weird sitting playing sitting playing.

Cunningham (knee) is active for morning shootaround in advance of Tuesday's game versus Philadelphia.

It seems like they give the impression Cade is going to play, then, "Late scratch".. I hope this isn't a ploy to keep fans watching the game, or attending them.

Or maybe they want to inflate all the other guys' stats to get a little more from an upcoming trade?

Yeah these late scratches have happened a lot with Cade this season. It is quite frustrating as a fan. And it would be a real middle finger to the fans on "fan appreciation night" for the last home game this season if they keep Cade as "questionable" right up until tip-off and then he doesn't play.

Embiid is the leagues most boring superstar

Were also the leagues most boring bad team at the moment.

Good game by Ivey. We really need to spend money this summer on our bench and a 4.

Fournier and Flynn should never wear a Piston jersey again

He can bring the smack talk to an interview and, when healthy, has the game to back it up. That's not boring to me. Heck, I'm pretty sure he won MVP because he's less boring than Jokic or the other MVP sorts.

I was with friends and couldn't watch. I figured Embiid playing was a function of where the 76ers were in their playoff race. When I saw that Embiid was in the starting lineup, and Cade wasn't, it was "game over".

He’s essentially turned into a clumsy jump shooting foul baiter and it’s only going to get worse as he ages. Don’t get me wrong, he is very effective. I just don’t enjoy watching him play. Jokic’s creativity is the polar opposite.

I really like Jockitch's game, but he hasn't cause mentally-weak players to assume the fetal position like Embiid.
