JJ is being JJ. He is a tremendous piece of this puzzle. He started off somewhat off, but once the first shot saw the bottom of the net there was no going back.
Besides Joel, he is the most consistent player on this roster this season.

Even though some think Ben put up empty stats last night. I liked seeing him put up and make two baby hooks. Keep it up young man.
The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !

You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

I believe Ben had 6 turnovers before his first point. And then ended the entire game with.... 6 turnovers. Nice recovery. Bodes well for upcoming playoffs with the better teams.

I would say last night was whatever is the opposite of an empty numbers game for him. He had a huge impact even before he starting putting the ball in the basket. His defense was as good as we've ever seen, and way he pushed the ball, even if it didn't make for easy transition opportunities, set up lots of easy looks for guys to hit shots, which was a big reason why the team was able to drop 120 on a good defensive team despite off scoring nights from him and Joel.

It honestly looked like the Sixers played worse than the Pacers last night. They gave up so many wide open 3s, but the Pacers just couldn't capitalize, while the Sixers shot lights out (53% from 3). A lot of the open 3s came from Embiid and Chandler not closing out fast enough.

Nice win last night. Our respective clubs have obviously played 3 times, but have watched your team several other times. I sure do enjoy watching them. Simmons is obviously fun to watch. Embiid is the man. Has the new school game to step out but bangs in the post like an old school player. Plus he is funny as hell. Best of luck the rest of the way. Know you have a brutal stretch schedule wise coming up, but that is fun from a fan perspective.

It was a joy to watch Butler go at Bojan I remember that dude dropping 44 :noway: on the sixers in '16 when he was with the nets 8-)
