It's definitely a very weird way to say he's winding down rehab and is getting ready to go.

It almost sounds like he had a setback, as if that would be surprising.

Still early days but really I did not expect much from this team at the start of the season and to be honest for the most part I like what I have seen.

I'd rather have this Embiid now as opposing to him falling off a cliff in the middle of the season or as the playoffs approach. And the Embiid meltdown is great in this respect. Now Nurse or the front office do not have to convince him he is not the player he used to be. The proof is there for everyone to see even in someone that is in denial. Now that Embiid and Nurse know his limitations you can plan around them.

McCain and PG have yet to play a game (what McCain did the other night was not playing basketball).

VJ has been a pleasant surprise. For once the bad news has been presented at the start of the season. If this team can avoid major injuries, it's going to be several steps in the right direction.

Also Morey and Nurse need to get Maxey in a room to find out if he has any other friends that are NBA players because I like what I see out of Watford.

It'll be a fantastic party the day Paul George is no longer a Sixer.

I feel that way about Embiid.

I’m starting to wonder if Kelly’s shooting is for real. He’s putting up nearly 20 a game on close to 50-40-80 splits, hitting 2.6 threes compared to just 1.2 last season, all while playing solid defense with a steal and a block per game.

After last night's win vs. Toronto, we are 1st in ORTG, 23rd in DRTG, and 9th in NET RTG.

It'll be interesting how the rotation shakes out when fully healthy. Watford earned himself consistent playing time. We need to reduce Maxey's minutes. Feels like Embiid should cap out at 28mpg during the RS. I'll assume the same for George when he returns.

Maxey(34)/McCain(14)
Edgecombe(32)/Grimes(16)
George(20)/Oubre(22)/Grimes(6)
Watford(28)/Barlow(12)/George(8)
Embiid(28)/Drummond(Bona)(20)

Maxey - 34mpg
Edgecombe - 32mpg
Embiid - 28mpg
George - 28mpg
Watford - 28mpg
Grimes - 22mpg
Oubre - 22mpg
Drummond or Bona- 20mpg
McCain - 14mpg
Barlow - 12mpg

A 10-man rotation feels like a lot, but that's how teams are getting it done these days. Eventually shortens to 8-9 in the playoffs.

Unless we get that DRTG down to at least 15th we're going nowhere lol

Still, a PG, Watford/Oubre, VJ, Embiid, Maxey unit should be pretty solid defensively

Yea I'm hoping it tightens up as the season progresses, and with the additions of PG + Barlow.

League average is all we need if our offense stays top-3.
