No injuries. He just looks useless out there.

Oh hahaha.

As a guy whose chronically bad knee has turned him into a scrub, I get it. Sucks for him thought cuz like, it’s his job.

Why are people so quick to judge a player off of one game though right?

The best part is that CMB is a clear upgrade over Mogbo when he returns from injury and should provide our bench with a boost as well.

Scottie is way too heavy now to be trying that stuff. Just get in the post.

that's his average from last season...just another game. I was hoping for him to take a superstar step but that's probably not realistic

The efficiency is what really pops from that stat line.

Yeah if he averages that with great efficiency and great defense that is a great season.

I’m a generational Embiid hater. Let’s just remember that.

Feels like even though he’s played great and within the flow of the game folks won’t be satisfied until he’s doing double tween hesis into logo threes.

He’s playing exactly like we want him to. And it’s been great.

If Barnes puts the same numbers as last year but with much better efficiency, that's a big improvement.

I just like that we have the depth from the starters that on any given night, any of the 4 could lead us in scoring.

Gradey being a threat off the bench(like tonight) would be huge.
