Sad that Wolves fans are such losers!

Expecting a loss, Embiid will have a below average game. Will still be a close game though.

This aged like milk left out at room temperature in summer.

Jokic fans are worse.

Super impressive that Maxey was able took control over the 4th quarter against a team like the Wolves with fantastic rim protection and length on the perimeter.

We're at 1/3th of the season and we're 1st in point differential and Maxey has been able to fill the playmaking/scoring void of Harden. Just super impressive and confirms in my eyes that we should go all in on supporting wing depth to complement Maxey and Embiid for the next 3 to 5 years.

Minnesota has a nice record right now, but they are not the top team out west. Not even close in my opinion. Denver, both LA teams, Sacramento, OKC, and possibly the Warriors beat them in a seven game series.

Agree. DEN is better, SAC and OKC are at least on the same level, and if the Clippers are right they are as well. But having a stud like Edwards, Finch getting that double big lineup finally functioning, and a lot of solid pieces and depth give the Wolves a real chance to make noise in the West.

Having trolls like Bum and Ferry on ignore makes the forum a better read, but you do miss gems like that one.

Absolutely. A highly paid "3rd star" is not necessary, but instead having an army of solid wings would be the best way to build out this roster. Anyone who doubts that Maxey is the real deal at this point is a fool.

Those point differential numbers are to me deceiving because of how soft the schedule has been recently. I love that the Sixers are blowing out bad teams, but a win like last night is more valuable than all of them combined.

Embiid and him are the best duo in the NBA right now. His work in the off season has paid off. Although things never worked out with Harden, being around him in the gym and learning his step back and other moves would have helped tremendously.

Jokic fans are worse.

At least they kind of have a reason to be.

Never realized Minny fans were such whiny losers

Not into football? (I know, I know Stanford, not all Vikings fans)

Remaining Strength of Schedule of the Sixers is 19th in the league. So sure, we have been beating poor teams recently, but we also had an incredibly tough start of the season.

High chance I'm still sleeping on Minnesota just because it's them. We deserve some credit for taking them down.

Holy crap Minnesota fans are straight salty over that loss! I mean they say some mean stuff over there. One guy claiming that Embiids knees are gone and that NBA is merely trying to milk money out of him by putting him in the free throw line. Hahaha!

Another poster continues to whine about Embiid getting calls all night long while simultaneously whining about how everything is a foul on Philly .

Another one said Embiid would be a below average center without the calls he's getting.

I don't know man, the hate is strong over there. I merely crept the forum. Oh and I only read one page. They also don't like Kyle Anderson over there.

any one who whines about foul calls after a loss is bitch made loser.

a real man spend his time after a loss contemplating their life choices and hating their own players.

Get with it Wolves fans

At least use clips from this game if you want to attempt to make a point if there is one. Because I can get the Cousins pic for Towns and a bunch of Gobert fail clips if you want
