Get Embiib TF out, too lumbering and slow at this pace.

Great stuff from Avramovic, now I see why they were so locked in today. Such an important player.

What a fun guy. Some people don't understand personalities like that who have failure and don't dwell on it long and sulk, etc but just say, "it happened, let's move on, let's keep going".

...but it's a great means of having resilience, it's a great means of keeping others going after disappointment, love it.

In addition, the first quarter really took Germany out. Sometimes when you get down early it's just tough to close the gap, but that's basketball, it happens.


What did he say? I don't understand the language.
:lol: can't help you with that one

Thought we'd have a 5 minute AD delay there.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Why the **** did he take Wemby out?

Collet is a miserable coach. Wemby was scorching.

Embiid should not be playing. Especially against Wemby.
