It seems like we play down to the competition...that has to stop.

Horrible way to end the first half... Philly has made their run, Now it's time to put them away.

i'm sure there is a little bit of truth in that(playing to the competition). Most our guys didn't play much in the preseason, so I kind of expected a slow start in the first couple weeks of the season. Really playing sloppy tonight as well. 13 turnovers already tonight. KLove struggling with his shot again too. They'll turn it up in the second half and find a way to win I hope.

Delly and Love struggled big time. And Stauskas looks good. I really think he could be a player in this league.

Apparently we don't care until the second half.

If LeBron is able to find his shot, that'll be huge.

It's looking good so far this quarter.

Don't understand why Mo hasn't been a starter last season. He has not backed up anyone that good until now.

Can't be too happy. This is the third game in a row we've made a competitive game with a bottomfeeder team.

Thoughts

- Ended each quarter terribly and only really played ok in patches

- Lebron looked really good today. Him getting some resemblance of a jump shot is so important to our championship hopes

- Delly is the best and ill have his babies if i have to

- Loves 3 point shot is so average. He gets the most open 3's in the league probably, and misses way too much. Out of everyone on this team that gets a open three i have by far the least amount of confidence in him making it.

- TT's defense was really good. Glad he resigned ad hes super important. He wears teams down in the 4th and is a monster on the boards.

- wins a win. 5-1, not too bad.

Yeah mo looks great. Seems as though nothing has changed since he was here last. Game is really good.

Jefferson Looked looked a all-star tonight as well. Both these guys really fill out our bench nicely.

The Sixers appear to be one of those teams that will just fight you too the end. I doubt they can keep it up all season especially if they aren't getting a few more wins but they definitely playing hard even after the point where they had no chance to win. I mean, why else take and make that 3 that made it a 6 pt loss rather than a 9 pt loss. That's what the did during this game, the last game and even the preseason game they won.

I'm hoping that JR is back for our next game. It's kinda tough playing without 3 of your top 8 players and 2 of your top 3 shooters.

I don't know what blatt has against playing moz in the 4th TT is good and all but he's not a rim protector. It basically becomes a layup line.

We started 0-17 last year, but after we eventually got our first win we played pretty ok 2nd half of season. We are the youngest team in the history of the NBA and 80% of the players on our team are fighting for their livelihood every night. When watching my 6ers team every night I always hope we can keep it competitive night in and night out and OK4/noel, Stauskas put up #s since they're the main pieces for the future right now.

Next year will be the first year where I'm hoping we can actually start learning how to actually win games.

We have 4 first round picks, along with the right to swap picks with the Kings if somehow they get a better pick than us (which who knows at this point).

There is a good chance headed into next year that our SL will look something like this;

PG- #1 pick 2015
SG- Nik Stauskas
SF- Lakers Pick
PF- Nerlens Noel
C- Jahlil Okafor
6- Joel Embiid
7- Dario Saric.

Its hard for a team like the Cavs to get totally hyped into playing the 6ers. We saw in both games LeBron just deicded to start scoring and boom it was over.

Do you expect Embiid to play basketball next season? Haven't heard much about him lately.
