Around the League Discussion - 2018-2019 (Playoffs)

[James40]

Welp, my Bucks in 6 didn’t work out so I’m looking for odds on when a Draymond knee accidentally collides with Kawhi’s quad?

Game 2 or 3? Won’t be game one one, too obvious, especially since I see Toronto winning the first.

That’s the problem with Biid and Ben. Both can only play in the paint. Teams are more than comfortable in letting them operate at the mid range and 3pt areas. Thats why we see a drop off from their game in the playoffs

[Negrodamus]

We don’t see a drop off from Embiid when he’s healthy. Ben we do. JJ, which is exactly who he’s talking about, we definitely see a drop off. We need to figure out this roster so we have less of these holes from essential contributors or we’ll never win anything.

[Bum Adebayo]

We see a dropoff from Embiid against certain defenders. I don't like making excuses just because I am a Sixers fan, emotions need to be removed when judging players, there needs to be zero bias. They both need to improve, no ifs allowed. Some people want to run it back with same players which is fine, but then at the same time not wanting to blame Embiid or Simmons for anything, no, they need to play better if we want to win the championship.

First time i agree with u. Had to read your post thrice.

Embiid needs to develop his perimeter game. No way he can just bully his way like a prime shaq or wilt. No way.

[Negrodamus]

Wait, we want more Embiid on the perimeter?

Maybe we need less people in the interior so Embiid doesn't get swarmed.

Embiid doesn’t only play in the paint what are you talking about...

Most of the game he is camping at 3pt line, he shoots many 3s already. What you mean is develop his perimeter game in that he improves his shooting percentage from 3. I am sure he has practiced his 3pt shooting many times already, we have seen in warmups and the likes that he shoots more 3s compared to practicing post moves. So obviously if he can improve his 3pt shooting it would be fantastic, but after 3 seasons I see 0 indications of it being in the realm.
And he doesn't need to bully his way, he needs to learn post moves, rediscover his faceup midrange shot and be confortable with hook shots. Save bully ball for the Jarrett Allens of the world but learn touch shots and more smarts and finesse against Horfords and Gasols.

[B-Ball Freak]

I think this series shows that you guys would have beat the bucks. You guys had a lot of toughness that Milwaukee just doesn’t have. Bucks didn’t have enough tough competition to prepare for a series against us or the 76ers

The Sixers would have beaten the Bucks in 6, just like the Raptors did, the Sixers took the Raptors to the absolute brink. The Raptors would have lost to the Sixers in 5 if it wasn't for Kawhi.

[76ciology]

Can you like pay players “off the record” by their “foundations”?

That is aside some teams also employ their family or friends as other means to pay them right?

Defenders like Horford and Gasol use their legs to knee Embiid making him lose his balance. Gasol was doing it to Lopez. I'm not sure if it's a foul or good defense? It's almost like a hand check, but using your knee instead.

Hopefully, Embiid can get stronger or find a counter move when defenders do that to him.

Go dubs.

[sixerswillrule]

Go dubs.

On the one hand the Raptors are the underdog who I normally root for but yeah, them losing will probably be in the best interests of the Sixers.

[James40]

Go dubs.

This might be the first time I’ve rooted for the Warriors.

[the_process]

It’s really going to be irksome if the freaking Raptors beat the Warriors.

Kerr pulling a Brett by leaving his bench in too long

[James40]

It’s really going to be irksome if the freaking Raptors beat the Warriors.

The positive will be at least the Sixers were beaten by the best.

[Detective]

Sixers fam, for those who happened to give their gritty Philly energy to the Raps tonight. Thank you and Respect!

On a last second prayer

Just a much more satisfying and hope-giving feeling than fi Boston fans should have right now
