IMO that’s just normal “fake comeback” stuff.
We know it all too well, but it’s nice to be on the other side.

Quickley had a slow start, but he has been fantastic recently. He's hitting shots, playing defense, going after rebounds, and passing the ball really well. He has surprisingly become a decently versatile guard.
I don't think IQ gets enough credit for transitioning from a bench microwave scorer to a legit starting caliber point guard. Kid is a hard worker.

the point aspect still a work in progress but a much better combo guard

Ya, he's developed past a Malik Monk.

I don’t think you understand the difference between spamming negativity vs talking about the games guys play based on that game lol
you posted a backhanded compliment.
when it comes to upgrading to all-nba talent, none of our starting 5 should be off the table.

The only way we get an upgrade our starting 5 to all-NBA talent is if we trade for an all-star mid-season. That almost never happens. This article says only 8 times in the past 15 years and 3 of those times were the Nets dumping Kyrie, KD and Harden, with each of the teams that acquired them paying huge prices and none of them winning. It's hella easy to say but a whole lot tougher to do, and even more unlikely to be worth it in the end.

Had a big lead, Philly made the comeback, and the team seemed calm and confident.
I also a stat we are 3rd in the league in assists...shows that Darko's philosophies are starting to work. And it's impressive considering Barrett and Ingram have historically been ball stoppers, and now are playing much more unselfish.

The NBA is having a bit of a hair moment with Jaylen Brown's shoe polish antics.

Ok wow, he didn't play, I got confused because the yahoo sports article about Drummonds hair said this::
The strong outing came on a night when several of Philadelphia’s key contributors excelled. Tyrese Maxey erupted for 39 points, continuing to prove he’s one of the NBA’s most dynamic young guards. Paul George added 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, offering his usual two-way reliability as he grows more comfortable in the Sixers’ system.
Then I realize now that's from the clippers game sheesh I'm out of it
