FWIW I've been crying and worrying since Ishbia took over and the first news we got was that Isiah Thomas would be involved.

Lucky you. I’ve been crying ever since I was a baby.

I still love Nurk, think he’s a good dude and underrated, but he will have some rough nights man.

The roster should have been constructed that the bench with any 1 of the big 3 playing we should be competitive but that's difficult (impossible) when you're only able to offer the minimum vet contract, traded all your young assets & have 3 superstars making so much you have no way to get under the salary cap let alone the 2nd apron.

Add in some serious miscues from Ishbia/Jones by trading Dario & Payne for TPE's which we might not even be able to use it's no wonder this roster is the way it is right now.

Overreactions aplenty.

Any team in the league looks awful with 2 of their 3 best players out. Take Embiid and Maxey out of the 6ers lineup and they probably get blown out. There's still 76 games left in the season and we are two games under .500. It's definitely unfortunate to start the season with Book/Beal out, but rather now than March/April.

Nurk, Little and Allen are all smaller contracts. They can be moved.

This suns team does not look good early.
Everything is outside. We have no one to get us easy buckets inside.
And defense is below average at best.

We better pray for a miracle cuz Embiid and Maxey are gonna eat today


Great prediction. You’re the only one who knew the outcome before the game even started.

Neither Dario nor Payne are changing the outcome when you're down your best 2 players. What are we even talking about?
