				Embiid is out of course since it's a B2B.  Maxey is now out with a "knee contusion" which means the TANK is on.  This is a MUST-LOSE game.  Hopefully, PG can put up some good numbers in an L.  
Interested to see Jared Butler and Quentin Grimes again, along with the other young guys like Edwards, Council and Bona.
Again, this is a critical loss for the tank to tie BKN who is only one game behind us in the tankathon.
Time's yours...

				You know it’s bad when I’m more excited to watch Butler & Grimes than Embiid & PG. Just let us do some processing for the final 30 games so we can remember the good times.

				PG looking great running the show early without Maxey and Embiid hogging the ball!

				Can't wait until the "knee contusion" turns into "Maxey had meniscus surgery b/c the had swelling during the all-star break."

				More ESPN bias... I had the box score open and in the "clips" segment that are supposed to be about this game's highlights (I know not many) ESPN opens with video of Joel and Oubre argument from 2 games ago.  
I miss the old ESPN days where it was just report the sports of the day, show hi-lights and then repeat the sports center all day long with no talking heads or opinion merchants.

				Our team looks like it’s just going through the motions—no aggressiveness, no physicality, and it’s giving the other team all the confidence they need.
Every aspect of the game feels half-hearted—soft contests on shots, weak effort on the boards, and no real intent when attacking the rim.

It depends on the team. A squad like the Thunder, already stacked with top-end talent, might value George over Embiid. But a team like the Rockets, desperate for a true franchise star, would likely prefer Embiid. The fact that this is even a debate shows how much Embiid’s value has dropped—this shouldn’t even be a question.

				Please tell me PG is hurt.
PG's contract was 'bad' as soon as it was signed, but it was supposed to be something like...
Year 1: PG is worth the max
Year 2: PG is not worth his contract, but it's better to overpay him than the alternative: to have a worse player at a cheaper price
Year 3: PG is still a worthy starter but way overpaid.  This is where the Tobias contract was his whole time here.
Year 4: PG is way too old.  His contract is an albatross, but it's the last year
It feels like we're in Year 4, but it's not the last year.

				If we're tanking, we have to force PG to play.
