Feels like if Philly doesn't play their starters for 40 minutes every game, they'll lose a lot more than they should. But play their starters for 40 minutes every game and they'll be dead by the time the playoffs come.

Neither Philly nor Boston dispelling my preseason thoughts that they are really going to struggle. Boston struggling to score much of the time (what's new), and other than Simmons taking it to the rack 76ers aren't showing much else on offense. Embiid takes a lot of bad shots, though I'd happily build a way-back machine to take him over Jabari.

They are about to beat a top 6 team in the east (yes the east sucks, but they are still in the east) with embiid playing 25 and horford playing 30. Not sure how this computes

If Philly shot normally from 3, they'd have 9 more points and be looking pretty good.

Seeds 3-8 are wide open in the East. It wouldn't surprise me if the Celtics finished 9th at all.

I'm betting the Celtics are a lot further from their normal 3pt shooting than Philly is. Outside of Richardson, maybe Harris, and (lol) Korkmaz, they don't really have shooters. I guess Horford can hit shots, but he's looked ooooooold.

Sixers so thin Horford has to play human cigar minutes.

Not impressed by either BOS or PHI. Hope the Bucks come out tomorrow and make a statement.

Philly has absolutely no shooting. That's probably bad.

Simmons was very good but no jumpers and 2-5 from the line. Not going to win (titles) that way.

Why on earth was Kyrie running down the clock on that last play? Surely you want to make a quick move to give yourself another chance if you miss.

Maybe early but I think he's going to be better than Middleton this year.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
