Would much rather lose this game. Dont care what anybody says. Would rather have us have the worst record possible to secure that top 3 pick. Im praying for a loss.

I think it's going to be a win... Kobe's last home game in Philly... and also Sixers' roster suck that much.

Okafor probably will have 30-15-4 game.

Sixers are licking there chops knowing that they can finally break there losing streak with a team just as worse as them...

Okafor will probably be late to the game now that he has to drive at the speed limit.

This might be the best game of the season from a competitive standpoint. I think the Sixers will get their first win...they've played well since Covington's return.

Somebody stop that **** Covington guy from stealing the ball....he's been ridiculous last week, 21 steals in the last 3 games
...and I get to play the guy that owns him in the Fantasy League

He'll be motivated, but this actually is a good matchup for HIbbert I think. I would not be surprised to see Roy stifle him.

and on the other hand, they best not put Bass on Okafor damnit

A trade between these two teams is destined to happen and now's a pretty good time... Okafor/Russell+pick, Noel/Clarkson+pick, Embiid/Clarkson...

Otherwise wake me when the ugly ends...

I HATE Clarkson, but I wouldn't gamble on Embiid. I'm okay with dealing Clarkson for Noel though.

I don't want anything from the Sixers. We'll take a flier on Embiid when his contract is up, maybe.

You may be right... I think Embiid is disgruntled more than anything... And if he was living up to his potential, no way Clarkson would be enough... So if he's finally healthy, and you can get him for just Clarkson, I think you have to think about it.

IDK really... But I think a sucky team full of Talented Bigs, and a sucky team with an extra ball-handling 2, ought to jump into bed at some point...

Post #19 » by **Slava** » Mon Nov 30, 2015 10:57 pm

I'm firmly against trading Clarkson, atleast until we know what we have in D'Angelo and there's no **** way I trade D'Angelo for Okafor.

Feel like it's going to be a double digit win one way or the other

Will we win?
