Groundbound Biid is still our best shooter and passer

He has 3 steals in first half. 10 points, 4 boards, and an assist.
AI led the league in steals, too. Are you watching the box score or the game? I didn’t say he looked bad, but nothing you said was accurate. I’m sorry.
He’s stood up Dillingham and Clark on multiple occasions and switches well.
He’s also one of the better ball handlers on the team, so at least he can play a little point and drive/kick or create his own shot. Something he’s done in this game, making him a creator.
I’m actually watching the game, not just the score board

Respectfully, we have very different views on what a creator and defensive stopper are. I’m also still waiting for him to create his own shot this game. But have fun watching man.
always a jump shot away.

What lineup are you referring to?

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
Are we playing the Wolve 5th string? sure. But I'm fairly confident we're the 96 Bulls.

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
VJ is very upright and stiff when he dribbles
which makes my smaller Wiggins who likes basketball comp easier

Maxey + McCain or Grimes + PG + Bona + Embiid.
It will be tougher to do it with VJ at SG as he's not a volume sniper like those others yet.

All I care about is that Embiid looks healthy. If he plays 60+ games like in his MVP seasons we'll win 50+ games.

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
I already see Jabari Walker. He's like 2/3rds of a good player. Like the most frustrating **** of all.

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
Kinda crazy that Embiid "taking a step back" is being a 25/10 guy. I think this team has enough firepower for him to do that.
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:
Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Edgecombe/Grimes/Gordon
George/Oubre/Edwards
Barlow/Watford/Walker
Embiid/Drummond/Bona/Broome

Yea I was gonna say VJ obviously isnt and neither is Embiid tbh.
But I agree I can live with Bona in the lineup if we are starting Grimes next to PG and Maxey.

Valdez isn't just a supastar... he's an ULTRASTAR if he learns to shoot the 3.

Grimes is obviously the starting 2 guard.

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
I'll be shocked if VJ isn't in the starting lineup next Wednesday. The Grimes contract situation is even more reason.

GRIMEY picking up his superstar play right where he left off last year. We're gonna regret not signing him long-term.

Re: Preseason Game 4 : Sixers v Wolves :Big Potato returns
We need to ROLL DEEP ala OKC and IND. Keep Embiid at 30 mpg and no B2Bs in the regular season. We have plenty of guys who can playmake and score when our roster is healthy.
