Re: Celtics @ Sixers - Preseason Game 2
I also don't really see these massive improvements to Ben's game from the year off. He looks a lot like summer league Ben. His decision making in terms of passing is the only real difference, not turning it over as much from passing.

Not sure which of the borderline guys would make it instead of him, but I'm kind of doubting Stauskas makes the team.

And this is without any Summer League minutes. Ring rust + adapting to the speed of NBA.
They aren’t hot takes. Simmons has shot horribly and is finishing terribly at the rim. He better play better or we won’t be that good.

I can tolerate everyone on this team but Stauskas. No one ruins a good play like he can.

A lot of what simmons is going to excel at early in his career is out on the break in transition. Embiid will help with getting defensive stops and rebounding allowing the sixers to get out in transition more. Sixers have been taking it out the net the entire night and aren't rebounding well.

I'd honestly rather see us run the Korkmaz show for the entire 4th quarter. I want to see what we have in him more and these games don't mean anything.

Re: Celtics @ Sixers - Preseason Game 2
I hope brett brown is going to be harsh on simmons and force him to work on his weakness, instead of cuddling him and surround him with shooters all the time and let him get away without any jumpshot

Okafor has converted three assists so far tonight. A great sign.

they are hot takes due to being based off of 2 games.
I said this at the beginning of the tank that many of yall truly weren't ready for it because you expect everyone to be finished and near perfect products....Ben is going to have some **** shooting nights on the regular. Get used to it now. That is all apart of the process. Growing pains are going to be a thing. Embiid is truly truly special but even he had things he had to get better at and a month into the season...he did.
some of yall are going to drive yourselves crazy,

Simmons has been the best player on the court tonight for either team, not sure what people are whining about.

Justin Anderson, all he does is have a positive impact on the court!

Okafor has been playing well some defensive lapses but much better and looks engaged

Re: Celtics @ Sixers - Preseason Game 2
Our bench desperately needs another ball handler. It's McConnell and 4 mannequins. Saric should help when he returns.
