It's depressing not having our starting C and even our backup C lmao

Dlo in dsl mode. Can't get by anybody... Beasley, Edwards and dlo all shot pretty bad. We're lucky 76ers couldn't hit any shots in the first q.. Close game but I expect the gap to increase in 2nd half.

Rockets got 4 straight wins. So much for everyone thinking they would be a super tank after trading Harden lol.

how would you even know he would play much? Was there a report he would?

My logic: Nowell has looked good, this team has no shooting, Nowell seems like he can shoot. I bet he will get some minutes and if we get blown out early (extremely likely) I bet he will get a ton of garbage minutes. I'm taking him.


Well good gut feeling! Not sure about logic having anything to do with it. History of Saunders treatment of him while the rest of his team always sucks says he was going to sit him until end of game like every game of his history. Must have been some pressure to do otherwise is my thought, which is why I was wondering if you heard or read a report.

Want to see more that has nothing to do with winning games Logic? JMac dnp. Hopefully Nowell gets more than just 12 or 14 minutes.

This game as so many loose balls. Doesn't seem like an NBA game

This is what Philly should have done in the first half, they crush us with size. They can bully us all day.

Guessing that has to do with his two-way contract and us having to preserve his games which sucks. DLo is back so maybe the front office wants to save Jmacs days.

Get both Thybulle and Hagans playing more and they will each scoop all those up.

Dlo playing so timid. Just keep launching 3s. Maybe the quad still bothering him.

Joel Embiid is so much bigger than Ed Davis. Actually hopefully defensive matchup.

D-lo needs to find his shot now. Game is getting away because they are hitting their 3s and we are not.

I am unsure why Minnesota brought in Ricky without fixing their shooting woes. He exacerbates Minnesota’s biggest weakness, and the team construction completely diminishes his strengths. Just bizarre.

I wonder how many people when they take the photo that gets used in the "In memory" segment, realize they are taking their "In memory" photo when they take it.

I hate Edwards in the starting lineup. He doesn’t even get a chance with d-lo running point. And Dlo is not interested in getting anyone going or involved.

All the starters in double figure negatives already. The bench all in single figure positives.

Pete, stop saying anything about Rubio because as soon as you do he turns it over lol.

The Sixers decide to use their size advantage and find they can absolutely dominate the Wolves in the paint.

Ricky has never fumbled the ball as often as this (just dribbling it away), just bizarre. He’s completely lost his confidence as a playmaker.
