Embarrassing performance from the Sixers so far

Why doesn't JJ take those open threes? He has enough space to, but he chooses to drive...

The funniest thing about the 76ers is people thinking they will actually be contenders with Colangelo at the helm. He will ruin them.

That's why shooting is my least worries when it comes to lonzo cause he has shown he is a good defender and tonight being agressive shows his potential to become a star in this lead.

He looks like a quick twitch guard version of Draymond

I really hope Simmons develops at least a mid range jumper because otherwise he's a lot closer to his ceiling than I think we realize.

On the other hand, if he develops a 3 pointer....uh oh for the rest of the league (he seems to have okay form).

Sixers fans are just hoping that what we got enough before him.

I disagree - just don’t see what the big deal is about him...don’t see how he’s doing anything that any other player on the court can’t do. If this is “his best game ever” I am not impressed.

Ingram would be having an amazing game if it weren't for Embiid being a defensive beast. Dude has had some slick drives to the hoop but Embiid's quickness and timing are too much. Really impressed by both of these guys tonight.

Thats why the Lakers fans are so high on Lonzo. The potential is there.

The defensive improvements have been just outstanding. I didnt think Lonzo could play this well on the defensive side.
On offense, as long as he pushes the pace and keeps the culture of passing, the Lakers will be happy. This summer he will need to work on his shots more and get stronger like Ingram did. Next year should be a huge jump for Lonzo and the Lakers.

Sixers aimlessly passing ball with no purpose

I heard Lonzo get slapped on the arm over here in California

It's only a skill if he gets a call.

The sky is the limit for Simmons, my goodness he is so freaking good. This is crazy.

Imagine Robert Covington on the Rockets or Cavs...

Post #158 » by **Duke4life831** » Fri Dec 8, 2017 2:52 am

I think Ingram has been blocked at least 5 times tonight already.

MalonesElbows · Post #159 » by **MalonesElbows** » Fri Dec 8, 2017 2:52 am

Philly don't lose to a Lonzo led Laker team, embarrassing.

RaptorsLife · Post #160 » by **RaptorsLife** » Fri Dec 8, 2017 2:52 am

That was a good block
