Tough moment there in Philly.

They deserve it.

Uh, me? The guy was a perennial MVP candidate true bigman who could dominate entire games by himself on both sides of the ball. Pairing that with Brunson a year or two ago was about as good as one could hope for from a basketball standpoint.

I'm glad Leon did things in a more diversified/ risk averse manner, though.

I wanted us to add him or Towns after the OG trade.

Also, it turns out he's a lazy jerk which is now bleeding into his performance. I wasn't quite keen to that.

Perennial "MVPs" and "domination" are not words I associate with 0 conference finals appearances.

On top of all the issues with the attitude and health, he's never been that guy come playoff time.

Yeah, I knew he was a full blown troll in a way that was simultaneously hilarious and too much, but this effort expose and the attempts to injure opponents over the last year are really bad stuff.

Looks like Joel Embiid's career started with the Process and is about the end with the Process

Before the Knicks game ESPN showed four highlights of Philly Memphis. All Sixers baskets, meanwhile the score at the bottom was reading Grizzlies up 10 or more every highlight
