All these guys deserve each other. Harden, PG, Embiid, Kawhi, Norm, etc. They’re perennial whiners and losers who blame those around them without realizing they’re the problem.

Wow! This take is interesting.

Seems he wasn’t messing around. Through 9 games Norman Powell is now putting up 27 ppg on 69% TS.

I think it’s 67%, but yeah, still crazy good. Meanwhile PG is scoring 14 a game on 51.4%TS. Addition by subtraction?

Powell is one of the best scorers in the game that nobody ever talks about.

Guy is playing like a fringe all star right now.

Funny that Kawhi is hurt and George is gone and this Clippers team became a whole lot more likable lol

Kawhi gets a pass because we’ve actually seen him lead a team to a title. The others I agree with though.

Clippers at 7-7 with a brutal first 14 games of their schedule

Sixers 2-11 after another loss tonight

Paul George is playin with a better roster in Philly and if you let the media tell it “a better coach” in nick nurse lol. So what gives, why is the “washed choker” able to win with role players but the 211 million dollar splash acquisition not able to elevate the sixers

Clippers were supposed to be the worst team in the league this year. Guess the media declaring harden would miss the playoff and the clippers will miss Paul George will come out and admit they were wrong. lol of course they won’t

In this instance the Powell Prophecy was spot on.

PG and Embiid's contracts for the next few years is going to sink Philly

Did anybody expect Norm to stay this hot for this long? It’s absolutely insane what he is doing this year.

The real clown is the President who didn't want to pay Powell and traded him for GTJ who ended up making more $ per year and soon to be out of the league.

Not apples to apples. Last season he was basically in a self sabotage, contract dispute mode. He wasn’t participating in preseason stuff. He also clearly was passive and was trying not to step on the other 3 stars (ex star Westbrook) toes.

He needs to be at 15-18 shots at least this year. 25 ppg isn’t out of the question, especially if Kawhi misses a good amount of games. He’s looking in phenomenal shape.

Read on Twitter

I'm not really concerned what he was in. If you want to always maximize your success, you stay ready. He should have come into last season in phenomenal shape with Philly regardless of contract dispute. Like I said, I'm not really giving some pass or some credit for sulking and not maximizing your season.

I kind of understand it though. NFL players do it all the time. Hold out of camp etc. He wasn’t professional, but he was lied to.

allegedly

Sixers in 4 wrote:Powell has been traded for nothing twice he is the literal definition of addition by subtraction. Harden isn't capable of being the guy but still wants the ball in his hands every play getting the easy buckets and leaving it to his teammates to create looks or jack up shots late in the shot clock.

I am going to enjoy watching the LAC team implode.

Gotta bump this. Lol :lol:
