Yea, McCain is legit. He's not a liability with the ball in his hands and he plays hard. Honestly 2 major issues this team has had over the past decade.

I'm just glad PG8 and Jojo have to know that they can't sit out for not reason.

Just scrolled past the score. I'm glad.

This team is unserious, and I hope this helps them have some level of self-awareness.

What if PG throws it back too hard? Is that good enough reason?

What in the world happened to this team? Joel missed over half the season last year and we weren't this bad. I thought our bench and role players situation was improved, but we're down 14 to one of the worst teams in the league. I'm not expecting to be a contender without PG & Joel, but I did think we'd be a play-in team just based on Maxey plus the rest. Looks like we're one of the worst teams in the league without PG & Joel.

We probably would have won this game if we showed up on the glass.

No we were quite awful last year without Jo

Which makes the fact that the plan was to sign a old wing to fix that a bit daft

Sure but we're not inundated with this kind of advertising.

Fair enough. Dude, it's nightmare fuel living in a swing state.


It would be nice if state AG's actually applied the fraud laws we have on the books; but god forbid we ask to hold politicians to a higher standard of truthfulness to voters.

Lol who exactly would you expect to do that?

4/9** of our rotation is 6'2 or shorter.

1/3 of our rotation is 6'1 or under.

We outrebounded Indiana 54-37, for instance.

The fact the draft was foreign player heavy at the top pretty much tipped us off on that. 1 foreign stud I could get; but boards had 3+ and that just tells you how bad the American class was.

That won't be the norm though. We're going to outperform expectations every once in a while, but on average, we will be out-rebounded with this roster construction.

Vintage Kelly Oubre game (Charlotte Hornets Era).

Also, what did they do to McCain's shot. How is it he's so off now? Another offseason bike injury?

Take away Giannis and Dame; how's Milwaukee looking? Or Durant and Booker? Or SGA and Chet? It's not a Sixers only thing; just what happens when your 2 best go down. Joel's mystery injury is feeling so much like the David Robinson year with Tim Duncan in the draft class.

Defensively there's no rim protection and offensively no ball movement
