If we get Korkmaz, we also need to have Shittu so the algorithm on this board overheats and fizzles out!

Ben seems like he's their version of Elfrid.

they really did mess up not trading for Harden.

Simmons is one of those guys who looks good on paper and analytics but in the actual game his impact doesnt seem as great.

With him always flopping when he dribbles left i'm starting to wonder if he's capable of dribbling/scoring with his left hand.

A maxed out, nearly untradeable Elfrid.

Taller version of Rajon Rondo.

Feels like they blew this.

Anytime Trae drives left he just runs back into the defensive player, they need to change that, it's nonsense.

my standards are low but I have some and I draw the line at rooting for a team that idolizes Karl Malone.

I'm still shocked there is an NBA team there and bitter Donovan Mitchell plays for them... It takes a special person to be the long-term face of that franchise (Black Republican, NRA member, sexual predator)... I don't think anyone can be an actual NBA superstar playing for that team, in that place.

#BringDonovanHome

The don't deserve Donovan.

sixers did a good job neutralizing Trae tonight with simmons. If they can copy that they will win the series.

Earlier, everyone said he was the Trae killer and it was a great move to put him into the game. I think what we're seeing is that even great defenders need at least an average offense to help the team.

i wonder what he would do on a fast break down 2 points with no timeouts and not enough time on the clock to attempt a dunk or layup? :lol:

Capela can't do anything with Embiid.

Jay10 · Post #1935 » by **Jay10** » Wed Jun 9, 2021 2:02 am

Trae is going to flop until the final buzzer.

N Y K · Post #1936 » by **N Y K** » Wed Jun 9, 2021 2:03 am

is that a "trae is balding" chant I hear?

He'd run out the clock while praying he develops a jump shot.
