If we win this, we are for real.

I mean, we are for real but I am waiting to get arrogant till after another week or so of games like the past few.

Kawhi is missing this game so not a real barometer of anything.

How about Doc's comments on Zu?

This guy is super

I am a bit concerned about Kawhi. Hopefully the team is just playing safe.

We will need Boogie's service tonight. Please no PatPat guarding Embiid.

Arrogance, stubbornness and delusion at its finest. Doc will never admit he was wrong to keep playing Trez over Zu.

Newsflash, Doc: this is why you're known around the league as #The3-1Bum. Good luck, Sixers fans.

Up until the all-star break Ibaka was averaging 24.0 mpg and Zubac 19.8. Zubac averaged over 24 mpg for Doc last year in the playoffs. Since Zubac was demoted to the 2nd unit when Ibaka came in, Docs estimate wasn't very far off. His mpg have skyrocketed because Ibaka went out.

looks like this gamethread is gonna be a real load

Is 19.8 not higher than 18.4?

[TheNewEra]

Guess Kawhi really is hurt

I think the estimate was not far off. I don't expect Doc to be following Ivica Zubac's minutes very closely. He's a bit busy on other things.

After his growth and excellent playoffs last year, I expected Zubac's minutes to cross over 20 mpg. When we signed Ibaka, the consensus in the press was that Zubac's growth would be pushed back this year, and until Ibaka was injured that's exactly what happened. I don't see a big controversy here.

I swear it seems like a strategy all across the league while playing potential playoff opponents not to play at full strength and give them anything to analyze. Nobody is sweating seeding much this year.

[TheNewEra]

This one is bound to get ugly

[Scoundreldays]

Ouch just turned on, not a good start.

[TheNewEra]

Might need Oturu just to collect fouls and buy time tonight

[esqtvd]

Ouch just turned on, not a good start.

after a 20-3 start it's 26-13

if this were a fight you'd say the Clippers survived an early knockdown

[LamarWho]

Don't understand why Boogie is not in there when Zu picked up his 2nd.

Yeah luckily the 76ers cooled off. Not worried still plenty of game to go.

[TheNewEra]

George can’t try to do it all on his own here

[MartinToVaught]

It's honestly infuriating to see Luke still passing up open looks and playing timid/scared. $64 million for THIS. Who did they think they were bidding against? The whole front office needs to be fired.

[TheNewEra]

Maxxey on fire can’t have this with Joel resting
