Brogdon's injuries should be really concerning for the Pacers. He is a very valuable player at 20M/year, but his value is significantly lessened if he can't play consistently more than 55 games a year and has injuries in the playoffs.

When Embiid is not 100%, Philly seems easily the easiest team to beat out of the top of the East (Miami/Boston and even the Pacers).

Our 2nd and 3rd best players are better than anyone on the Sixers roster not named Joel Embiid. Tell me where the lie is.

Can't decide if I'd rather see Philly go out in the 1st round of have the Bucks take them out in the 2nd.

Philly really saved their most ridiculous shooting night for the Bucks to get all the national media narratives going, then immediately went back to underachieving lol

No but what you don’t understand is that Thon’s physical structure gives him MVP caliber upside...

Jonah Bolden can't even sneak onto the active roster when another big is out. Skipping the World Cup didn't quite work out for him.

Just imagine what George Hill would do for that team.

idk, Tobias Harris is way more athletic than Middleton but for some reason lost his 3 point shot when he moved to Philly. If he is shooting 40% from 3 again i'm probably taking him over Middleton. Then again, he looked scared in the playoffs last year, didn't want to take the big shots. I dont think that's a problem with Middleton provided he can avoid the double team and having to decide whether to shoot with 1 second on the clock or pump fake.. ...**** christ....

Simmons is a little bitch but i'm taking him over Bledsoe in the playoffs if i gotta have a guy who can't shoot 3s but can defend and play point.

Giannis over Embiid, though, every day of the week.

They are a high ceiling team, no doubt about it.. i dont think they ever get there, though, just not enough grit.

Remember when the national media was calling the Bucks dumb for not paying Brogdon and going with Hill and Matthews instead?

Don’t here a peep from them now.

It's hilarious how much emphasis they put on that game. And here they are a week later still looking for their next win.

Eh the bigger guys Lowe, KOC, etc. have started to cool on the take while the jabronis continue to hammer it (Bill Simmons keeps saying Brogdon is an all star lol). I feel like two thirds of the NBA analysts don’t even watch the games anymore.

That Horford contract is looking really, really bad.

He's having the worst shooting year of his career.

Yeah but he’s a “Giannis stopper!” Nothing Philly does until the playoffs even matters, they’re not even trying to win now. They are so much more talented & have so much more “swag”, etcetera.

When did Horford become the Giannis stopper? All I remember is Giannis dunking all over him in the playoffs last year.
