It's true Jo is slim as ****. 260 to 270 not out of the question.

McCain does not look like an NBA player, unfortunately. Nice that he hit some threes, but any time he dribbled inside the rim he got swallowed up by inferior competition.

This was my only real takeaway. Some guys looked good but it was just nice to see basically everyone playing hard every possession in a preseason game against an opponent like that. There are so many bad eastern conference teams this year that if they play like that every night they're going to rack up a lot of wins assuming even borderline decent health.

I was with you watching; no matter how hard Kate and Ala tried to make my brain explode with their inane stupid banter. Please Sixers, fire Ala.

He said after the game seeing one go down took a lot of pressure off. Kinda think his summer league performance was him pressing too hard to get in a rhythm and prove himself.

His shooting is valuable as long as he doesn't try to attack the rim and creates spacing. Danny Green barely tried to drive to the rim his entire career

My issue yesterday was his defense, i just don't see him staying on the league if he cannot even guard guys smaller than him and he was losing it to guys who are not NBA level. It was depressing how bad he was as a defender

He'll need that lower weight to win DPOY. Maybe there's one more year someone else can compete for it before Wemby rattles off 6 straight.

I doubt that, but I guess we will see. Heck, Wemby could win the next 10 DPOYs in a row. :banghead:

Embiid's a long shot to win it, but he has a better shot at the lower weight.
