That lineup is cheat code. Would like to see Buffalo thrown in there with them.

I missed the first quarter. Who was the worst player on the team?

Embiid was the worst player on the floor in a half where Dwight Powell played significant minutes

Tatum, Ant, LeBron, Jrue, and AD or Bam is easily your best 5. Haliburton, Booker and some Steph in there as well. Embiid looks terrible.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Embiid is in some sort of buffet related contest. Otherwise I'm out of physically possible rationale.

Embiid showed up to ride the coattails of other players to try and get a cheap gold medal bc he knows he’s never winning an nba championship

You'all will need Embiid against the bigs you'll face from Europe. Oh yeah can't wait to watch a tough and physical Serbia with Jokic vs this team USA. That will be a brawl! I hope they meet.

AD looked like he was asleep in Q2. Not impressed. Bam bricked two free throws as well. SGA has been the best player on the floor.

Everything was good with Obama. We actually had a normal middle class. Most republicans / democrats liked the dude.
