Wiggins is terrible, no team should trade for Wiggins

Nurse doing Nurse things and getting reckless with an injured Embiid. Backfired in a big way.

He's +77 in his last 6 games and it seems like he has stopped taking too many 3's and I would guess in that offense isn't bringing the ball up or trying to create and instead focusing on crashing the offensive glass and being an energy player. That along with his athleticism are his strengths and it just seems he's playing more to them in New York while we gave him a lot more rope here.

That's probably what's happening. I mentioned it when he was traded and how it was interesting to see what he does. Precious in theory is an amazing player. A guy who can guard 1 thru 5 and is super athletic with potential to hit the 3 ball. He was just never going to do that here. Whether it was because of his familiarity with Masai, or the coaching staff allowing him to explore his game, he was given to much leeway and he struggled.

Add a Brunson setting him up for easy/open situations and a pecking order that he dares not mess around with, you'll have yourself a guy that has potential to be a top bench guy.

dont know who to blame, the medical staff or nurse
embidd was limping/not playing well whole game and nurse left him in
embidd doing his usual flopping stuff
injures his other leg.

It's gotta be killing Morrey that he couldn't keep Harden for this last year and be in real contention. He could deal with the offseason after, but windows like this don't last forever. Looking down the barrel of getting someone like Murray or DeRozan just doesn't make up for it.

I hate it when players recklessly veer into other players' lower bodies.

Karma is a b****

that's all I'll say about Embiid and his foolish play

Our 2 rookies Norm and Delon laughing it up after Norm hits a stepback 3 over him. Miss those guys :cry:

Good game in OKC. Need the Nugs to win for our OKC draft pick.

Down 1 and Brook Lopez shoots a step back 3. Idk why he didn't just give it back to Dame :lol:

0-2 in the Rivers era. I still expect them to one of the last teams standing, but funny nonetheless.

Precious guarding Pascal. Pascal and Pacers off to a hot start but only 6 point game. Knicks are really shorthanded vs healthy Indy. They need to make a move.

My own thought that if LBJ is is on the move it is NY. They have multiple firsts, expirings, Randle, a capable coach and an aggressive GM. LBJ would love this market.

With Philly hurting and Indy on the rise this might be a moment to take control of good playoff seeding and be a title contender.
