They are having fun out there right now. Really love the energy Cole has brought in this first half. Team has that extra bounce in their step.

Cole is the spark plug. He's our new-age Darrell Armstrong.

These Frazier/Anthony minutes are tough because Cole just doesn't know what to do when he isn't dribbling.

It's plays like that, that don't help questioning Mo's motor, after than hand off he showed a screen and kind of sulked off to the corner, awful body language

Bad shot, Cole. Embiid was out of the play. We had a 5 on 4. You can't settle for a contested 28-foot three.

I get that ultimately he's a probably too much of a tweener defensively to be a starter on a great team, but Wendell is a good talent overall.

I like him.

Wendell can be a starter on a championship team. Maybe 4th best on the team + - 1.

On one hand, you can't be scared and you have to shoot with confidence when you're open. On the other hand, I think it's time Okeke starts operating closer to the basket. He has skill around the basket, no reason for him to shoot almost exclusively threes at any time, let alone when he's ice cold like he has been this season.

These injuries have been unreal and incredibly frustrating.

Aww man ankle again

I guess Cole really has an ankle injury. I know some we're suggesting the players weren't really injured.

He needs to fix his shot or he isn't going to be in the NBA for long. He brings nothing else. He has really active hands, but nobody is standing in front of him with the ball in their hands, so it doesn't really matter. He seems like a really good guy, but he is outmatched in the NBA and he doesn't have the game to carry him, so he has to carve out a role as a 3nD guy, but the shot is a problem.

These Ankle injuries are a sick joke. Just when this team is getting healthy.
