PG is playing great D even though his shot isn’t falling. Once he starts hitting this team will be firing on all cylinders.

This is exactly how I see it. PG gets to coast as much as he wants. And he gets gobs of money to do so, and probably a promise to send him back West should the train derail some point.

If PG's main job to is to D up, it gives him a lot less chances to shrink come playoff time. I have no confidence in this team anyway, and it's not my money, so have at it.

Watching that big booty frenchman dunking live was like seeing the 8th wonder of the world. Crowd respected the hell out of it. Oh, and Jo is 1000% the most hated player in the league. Every time he touched the ball or went to the line it was crazy boos.

Maxey's shot is quick as ****. Jo looks in really good shape. PG is booty cheeks. Eric Gordon was 1000% the snitch, he was sitting on the end, next to Jo, which was hilarious. But during any of the huddles he wouldn't say a word, just stood up and stood around. PG was also pretty uninvolved.

Maxey and Jo seemed to have an animated conversation at one point on the bench, but then they dapped it up in the end.

Also, pretty disappointed to see that Jo went into the tunnel during the national anthem.

PG's D has been outstanding, and I would say his hustle makes the rest of the team pay attention to D also. When have we seen this team hustle on D like this? Never. I do give PG credit for that, and also Martin. Noone has mentioned this (maybe cause he sucks), but we could get his brother Cody from the Hornets. I don't know much about him but if he's anything like Caleb, you can't have enough of those wing hustling type of guys.

Always fun to watch this team with no stress, you have to appreciate it when it rarely happens. It will be interesting to see how they handle this B2B.

I went to three games Mccain played and it wàs frustrating. I left two early. I've been through ghe whole process and been watching since AI championship run. I aint never seen anything goofy than this Mccain stint. Now hes injured and we look legit again . The irons.

McCain with Oubre, Martin, Lowry, and Drummond is goofy, but the starting lineup of Maxey, Oubre, Martin, PG and Embiid playing well means McCain was the problem. I think I understand now.

So you just have an issue with his nails and dancing but using other reasons to show he is a problem to avoid your obvious distaste towards him?

Like others were saying before he got injured...he's an untouchable.

He’s playing a great all-around game, and defenses still respect his jumper, which consistently makes him a positive on the floor. The concern is that when his shot isn’t falling, he can’t carry an offense on his own. We’ll be fine as long as Nick Nurse avoids running a 5 man unit with Paul George on the court while Maxey and Embiid are off.

It’s possible, but I think we need someone who can reliably hit 2-3 threes per game while being at least neutral on defense. I just don’t see that in Camara.

We need someone who isn’t a defensive liability, can hit threes, and not be a liability on the defense. If we need more defense, that’s when we take a gamble with Caleb Martin’s wildly inconsistent shooting.

Eric Gordon fits this description for now, but his shooting has been shaky lately.
