You’d have a hard time convincing me this Hornets roster is better than the Bluecoats roster.

Kate itching to talk **** on Miles Bridges. I say give her a free pass.

It's been a great game. Jo cooking big time against the crappiest defense ever. He also inadvertently Shortyuken'd Miles Bridges earlier. I know I shouldn't applaud that, but...I did.

Time to see what Springer and KJ can do.

I’m glad we can string together some blow outs to give Maxey a little rest. I get that he’s young & full of energy but the consistent 38 mpg was getting crazy.

Maxey really is the perfect complement to Embiid. Elite catch & shoot out of doubles, elite DHO partner, can run a good PnR, and can keep the offense afloat when Embiid sits.

Nice to not have to ever see Glenn blaming execution and the team not being ready after a loss to a dreadful team again.


Don't forget the dreadful. "Scheduled loss"


I thought of that, but he would generally not use that one against really bad teams. So glad he's gone.

All those guys who lost their shooting powers when they got here were just karma for Marcus Morris getting a Jordan level jumper

53 point win. Damn. We need as many of these wins vs. bad teams as possible. The less our starters have to play during the regular season, the fresher their legs will be when it matters.

Nick Smith is going to be a heck of a scorer in this league.

I'm excited for the Minnesota game. That game is big for both teams in terms of knowing where they rank amongst the leagues elite. Can't wait for that battle.

Good week by the whole team. There are some bad teams out there this year.

ESPN has him at -59 on the game... That's gotta be a record, right? (Edit, nvm, it changed)

I know these teams suck, but Embiid playing only 3 quarters for most of these games is insane.

Just heard a stat that this is the best 5 games point differential in NBA history.

That's typically a product of both high end talent and depth that carries that through vs bad competition

Kudos to them all
