I really miss Rodi on this team. He'll be god playing next to Harden.

I'm glad he turned it around in the 4th and went off.

That took away all "HOPE" for the Rockets of stealing this game.

All regular season bluster. I would bet money they lose before the WCF

I’m pretty sure they won’t even beat the 8th seed in the West.

I wouldn't trash them. They'll be tough out. However they are a second exit for sure.

That loss tonight was embarrassing. Up 8 and end up in OT, get destroyed in OT.

Gobert: 12 points, 9 rebounds
Embiid: 40 points, 19 rebounds

This dude is making 200 million for what? The man sucks against great two way bigs.

A shame that the Jazz choked. Gonna stay half a game back going into the break.

I love Kyrie but he’s not durable. I kinda don’t want him consistently forcing the issue and constantly drawing contact, at least not until the playoffs. We will definitely benefit from Kyrie’s elite omnidirectional creativity in the playoffs when tougher defenses will clamp down on the north-south drives/activity.

Absolutely tough shot making is made for the PS. With spacing and the mandate to give up the midrange it’s what you can’t take away.
But I’m not talking foul drawing in throwing himself in the air I’m talking the Trae/Luka style. Well before launch seek contact and aim for a low impact continuation.

Kyrie doesn’t get superstar calls as it stands, despite drawing contact/getting hit all of the time. I don’t think there’s a linear correlation between him expending say 10-15% more energy to draw fouls and the refs rewarding him with 10-15% more free throws.

IMO, it’s not worth the risk. The best ability is availability and we absolutely need him for the playoffs. Sometimes I wish he could just play in bubble wrap during the regular season to ensure that he’ll be healthy and available for the postseason. He can go super hard in May bad June. I don’t want it now.

The Nets will be going for a franchise record 7th consecutive win on the road.

Another franchise record. :nod:

This team just effortlessly puts up 130 a night. It's ridiculous.

Joe Harris might be a robot.

utah should have given the foul when embiid was still in 2 point range. easy win.

They're like that annoying Gnat that gets in the house and you can't shake him.

Gotta KILL HIM to eventually make him disappear when you're trying to eat.

For not wanting LeVert, Allen or Dinwiddie.

King: Harden
Prince: Claxton

MrDollarBills · Post #116 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 3:08 am

24-13 at the break, locked in at #2. 9 wins out of the last 10 games. Winning records at home and away.

This train doesn't stop until June. Let's GO!!!

KNIGHT: Claxton & Brown
JESTER: Utah Jazz

I really don't even care about the #1 seed. We will get it eventually.

The Sixers don't scare me with homecourt or without.

Outside of Embiid they have don't have enough offensively. Once we start doubling Embiid and leaving Simmons wide open they might have to bench him.

MrDollarBills · Post #119 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 3:11 am

Nic Claxton hit the boards hard tonight with 8 rebs.

He is going to score baskets simply off of Harden passes and activity but if he can pull down 7-8 boards a night regularly that will be huge going forward.

This team is nowhere near it's final form.
