Embiid listed as questionable. Regardless we should be able to win this one. We need to put them away early like Sunday.

What are we doing playing Embiid in a game like this? we should be using a game against terrible Pistons to showcase Maxey and Thybulle and increase their trade value.

At this rate Niang will get ejected soon. He needs to calm down

I actually like the idea behind a Harden/Melton/Tisse/Niang/Trez lineup. I’d love to see more Melton & Matisse lineups.

If Matisse could do more finishes like the one early he could be a starter on the league

Why is he still a starter?

It’s 4 on 5 in the half court O

He sits in corner

Dumb beyond belief…but then again, Doc

To be fair, nobody thought PJ would be a starter or get heavy mins until the playoffs.

Can't help but think that even with a great lead and everything all hunky dory so far, that Rivers' seat is mighty toasty....

I'd be pretty shocked if he was fired during the season at this point. He'll get his shot in the playoffs. If he can't get them beyond the 2nd round, he's likely gone in the off-season

PJ hasn’t even added toughness either so even if that’s was what people expected….he hasn’t given us that either


So nah try again
