That's pretty good for some guy who can't play in the league...

Lonzo must hate first games. He played like crap in the first summer league and in NBA. There’s no Lonzo hate today lol. He is who I thought he would be.

Yea, the last rookie performance like that was probably our very own Michael Carter Williams with 22 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds and 9 steals.

I'm so glad we have MCW as our perennial all star stud PG right now. He's definitely who I thought he would be!

This thread needs to stay a Lonzo hate free zone. No cheap shots and no sarcasm when talking about my boy Ball lol.

I'll agree to this deal if all of our fans stop overreacting over our teams first two games.

Yeah I figured it would be a good weekend for Ball cause of schedule....course next week he has to see John Wall.

Good luck with that.

Pelicans jut waived Jordan Crawford after he scored 13 points on 5-10 shooting, 3-3 from deep, with 7 assists last night.

Kobblehead · Post #1109 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 9:33 pm

A good athlete with advanced handle and natural scoring ability. Not a very valuable basketball player, but Jordan Crawford is a useful talent. I wouldn't mind signing him to be the 4th guard, (unfortunately) cutting T.J. out of the rotation.

LloydFree · Post #1110 » by **LloydFree** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 9:51 pm

The Pelicans got like 3 guys that should have been cut before Jordan Crawford. The 76ers should snatch Nik Stauskas' name plate down right now and sign him.

Kobblehead · Post #1111 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 9:58 pm

Crawford does have a reputation for having a bad attitude and being a poor teammate. Might not be a guy Bryan/Brett would even consider. Almost every guy brought in during the Colangera era has been a high character guy (Henderson, Bayless, Anderson, Redick, Johnson, etc).

Right now Giannis is the mvp of the league. He’s l,aging like a man possessed. If Simmons ever wants to get to his level he needs to be more active on defense. I love the way Giannis plays. Very active and aggressive on both ends.

Against the suns Bro...

Let's see how they do against the Cavs/Kings/Heat/Warriors/Spurs...

Yeah not all those teams are elite, but they have dynamic guards who will roast Ball...

Suns are currently getting slaughtered by the Clips. Anything that happens in games against the Suns should be adjusted as such.

Watching this Suns team kind of puts our tanking years into perspective. Yeesh.

Is it too early for someone on the 76ers to proclaim that this Suns team could not even beat the Duke basketball team?

Read on Twitter

Yikes...Fultz is either shoulderless or the biggest mental midget of all time and even than there is a rookie that's been worse.

3 rebounds in 84 minutes, how is this even possible for a front court player???

Kobblehead · Post #1120 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 1:48 pm

If Phoenix has a firesale, who would you want?

Marquese Chriss is a big bodied, plus athlete with shooting skill. He's an asset on both ends of the floor and in transition.

Alex Len is a much needed C-sized player behind Joel. Can rebound and protect the rim. An expiring contract that can be flipped to a contender at a deadline.
