That turnover was kinda “good” mistake. I like the instinct to find Niang in the corner but execution was terrible.

Oh look, our defense is ass and no Embiid. Must be something else, because I thought all our problems were because of Joel.

And he wonders why he can't get into game shape seven games in and he's already missed two.

Problem is that neither of our backup bigs offer real rim protection. So we’re probably gonna see a lot of small ball this year to at least maximize our offense.

If he's sick, he's sick.

He also had plantar fasciitis. I know it's frustrating but can't really be blamed.

I do not think Harden playing this many minutes would be sustainable given he's 33..He would be done come playoff.

Well, we need this game, what happens in the second half who knows.

This is a classic grind it out win, if possible.

We beat Chicago, but I'm not in love with Jojo missing this game.

We would win this game with Jojo, but of course we are supposed to accept him sitting out.

This is a game we should and are supposed to win, which is why none of us care. But we might lose, you have to ask why

The Melton/Thybulle pairing is insane. Dudes just as comfortable defending PFs as they are defending PGs.

Here comes Harrell. Harden needs to get his game going with him.
