I'm loving this three-centric offense that we have right now. As long as they're a product of good ball movement, I'm happy if they jack up 40 threes a game. Our best players in Tatum, Brown, Kemba, and Fournier are great shooters from outside anyway, so why not?

I'm sorry but is Mike Scott allowed to play D like that on anybody else in the NBA? Guy just bodied and reached in on Tatum like 6 times. Let us do that to Embiid also will ya.. ****.

Embiid is the biggest flopper out of all the big guys. The first foul on Williams and and first that was called on Kornett were soft as ****. He literally pushed Kornett in the back with his left arm under the basket and of course wasn't called for offensive foul. Wonder if Embiid will get these calls in the playoffs. Dude's made 2 FGs...
Good assessment:

Tatum has to work on his dribble and driving past by his defender. Either on iso or PnR. He can't dribble the time away beyond the arc.

Agreed. I'd rather see Wagner/Ojeleye/Langford or Nesmith out there right now..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

And they win like 80% of their games against Embiid.

Doesn't he eat pretty much everybody? He used to eat Al, Baynes, he ate Tristan, he is an MVP level player and he is the size of a **** Hummer.

I meant Kornet's not gonna put up any resistance whatsoever. At least Al made him work before.


He's been solid so far. :)
