Phrenology has got to be the great lost developmental science.

I don’t think I’ve heard a better spoken athlete than Kareem. (Though Old Joseph Campbell was apparently a record hold in the half mile before going onto Hero of a Thousand Faces and Star Wars.)



At the top tier Paul, LBJ, Bird would have higher than av IQ no question. The stories of Bird’s wit screams of high intelligence. LBJ has eidetic memory and Paul’s game iq is off the charts.
Kareem has high IQ too. I making assumptions here but they’ve studied (have vested outside interests too.) Their literacy would be very good.

It’s funny some natural freaks vs the best players of the world of that sport you can spot clear differences in relative IQ once they open their mouths.


You sound a bit presumptuous and pompous. Hopefully only maybe a parties before a drink or two.

So Ben has to shoot threes now right? It's like a parody of itself at this point. No one cares about you missing, Ben. Perhaps he should stop caring about what the fans will think about him shooting. Hell, Giannis both swished a three (at a critical moment no less) and nearly missed the rim all together tonight.

Also, Ben was a bit cooked at the end of the game there against Giannis. Gave up buckets. Granted he had 5 fouls (I think)

Not really have you seen sports players talk sometimes?

We are still the number 1 team in the east based on yahoo sports standings. Do we have the tie breaker with Brooklyn just in case we finish with the same record?

I wonder if Howard will get any 6th man of the year votes - he's been outstanding since Jo went down

Yup, at this point I'd rather him go 0 for 10 from 3 with all airballs. As bad as that is, it's still better than him taking 1 three every 20 games IMO.

It’s a mute point. We own the tiebreaker due to better conference record.

What matters is the next 6-10 games without Embiid including a brutal stretch of games on the west coast

We need to win vs Sacramento Saturday. It’s not gonna to get any easier after that. Just look at the upcoming schedule.

That’s why last night was a blown opportunity at home. We got to win as many home games as possible.

This, and especially when your huffing for air after intense excercise.

I don't really have an issue with what Giannis did. If we are going to dish it out with Embiid we have to be willing to take it back and laugh it off.

After tomorrow's home date vs. SAC, the Sixers are on the road until 4/3, a stretch of 6 games.

NY, GS, LAL, LAC, DEN, CLE.

I'd put it at around 75% they go 1-5 or 0-6.
