Fine, I'll do it.

Council looks good enough to make some of our forwards expendable at the trade deadline.

Nurse brings in Lowry and Jackson and we suddenly give up 8 points. What a surprise!

I thought he got fouled on that drive. Shoved in the back

Kelly’s not having a good game - taking really bad looks. He went straight at Porzingis like 3 possessions in a row

I think we just need anyone to try and create offense because Maxey is getting swarmed.

If there's one thing NN is gonna do it's waste a early challenge that has no chance

Oh I agree - but we need to find a way for better looks that that is all I’m saying. Some sort of pick and roll to get that inflatable man away from
The basket

Maxey back in the game...I guess the ankle is all good. Then again, he'll finish with 40 tonight and be put 6-8 weeks.

It’s kinda wild how good the team is playing with the current roster. Whatever changed happened in the last two weeks, Nick Nurse has done a hall of a job.

This isn’t exactly a summer league team, but it’s closer to that than a fully loaded Championship roster that the Celtics have

Darn it, thought it was a later start.

The rotations haven't been great, that won't bode well for when the Celtics hit 8 straight 3s in the 2nd half

We need to push our transition offense more before they get set. They have way too much size for us

I can't believe Edwards wasn't drafted. Just insanity.

Guershon is not even looking at the hoop. Maxey is going to eventually need help

Might need to switch to Alaa. Can't listen to Doris do her Tatum bit.

You can tell when guys “get it” and he certainly does. Great feel for the game and is only 21

Excellent first half

Expecting Tatum to take over in the 2nd

Watching this effort and I'm over here side eyeing Embiid and his future with this team. Maxey can carry teams now... No need for a lumbering, ball dominant C any more.
