Ok. He's a liability on defense while doesnt possess the offensive game to compensate, nevertheless

Steph and Harden having ridiculous numbers on offense. Curry just casually dropped 9 3s.

This isnt the sport I grew up loving. If it wasn't for Embiid I probably wouldnt be watching.

And beaten

Recent game Harden was something like 1/18 from 3

Lost game 7 against GSW by resorting to same tactics

Hope that they do the same against us as Joel & Ben will get 20 boards each & burn them at the other end

He’s a 20 year old point guard. They all suck at that age. And yet it’s the deepest position in the league.

IT was measured at the combine, he's 5'9" without shoes so 5'10" by NBA standards. DSJ is probably 6'1" without shoes so 6'2". But yeah still a big difference.

It is sad watching how the wolves is using Saric. Why trade for a player if you are not even going to use him properly. Saric is just running around the court without any purpose.

He’s only good with us because he is Ben’s other half as a scorer.

I wonder whether the Sixers had any part in discussing Kenneth Faried, talking to his people, talking to Denver, before he was released and joined the Rockets? Obviously there's a lot of glamor in Houston and he'll have a starting role while Capela's out, but he might have a better chance of conference finals with Philly. If the team wasn't even trying to get him, I'd be miffed.

Respectfully disagree, Sixers need to fill out their rotation with spacing and defense and he provides neither. Would rather just continue to give Bolden a chance to prove himself and see if someone that's a better fit shakes free in the buyout market or a cheap trade.

I don’t know if the buyout market is a way to improve this team. We see and hear guys wanting to go to Western Conference teams. Ariza wanted to go to Lakers, R Lopez wants to go to Warriors.

Technically, the rumors were the Lakers wanted Ariza and that the Warriors want Robin Lopez.

Casually dropping 20-10. He's not even trying!

Yeah, Grizzlies are soooo done. Losing by 20 to a team that starts Okafor and plays him 30+ minutes :lol:

he is clearly a bust and we wasted our pick, but his spin move in the paint is so beautiful. I always loved this move.
