So-so team without their star? We'll win, feel good, have all the right quotes after the game too. Probably the same deal with the lakers.
We'll spend more time as a "playoff team" and feel good.
Then we'll play teams that try and have superstars and we'll be crushed and the cycle will continue. Playoffs, baptized by the Cavs and the 19th pick, or lotto with the 13th pick. Both bad. This team is killing me. Why am I writing this instead of studying? Frick.

Sixers in deep talks about sending Okafor to the Pelicans. Woj is in on it so it's real. Tonight may be a cake walk if they hold him out so he's not injured before a trade.

-sounds like it's down to how protected New Orlean's first round pick will be.

If theres one team that can still find a way to lose against the sixers with no Embid or Okafor its the pistons.

Rumored deal is Ajinca and protected first for Okafor. Some think it's done by the end of the night. That's good because...
IF THE PELS CAN ATTACH A PROTECTED 1ST TO THAT HORRID AJINCA CONTRACT AND MOVE HIM, REGGIE GETTING MOVED CAN HAPPEN!!!!!

Okafor is a bad fit for today's league but if their was ever a team to help him out it would be the Pelicans and Davis.

^ I know it's off topic, but I couldn't agree more. Remember prior to the 2012 Draft Lottery how so many of us said that Davis would be PERFECT for us 'cuz he'd be such a good PF compliment to Monroe at C? Well, Okafor's a whole lot like Monroe, so this seems like a really good fit for NOLA.

Plus, if it does go down tonight so they're forced to sit Okafor against us, well, all the better!

i really think we lose this one bad based on the fact that we play entitled and Philly plays with pride and effort.

russkopp · Post #13 » by **russkopp** » Mon Feb 6, 2017 11:19 pm

Okafor starting tonight.

Philly has their heart and soul in Embiid still cheering them on out there. It's insane how they're only away from us about 4 games, if Embiid plays full time with no minute restrictions, they'd probably would've passed us already.

I bet you they'll give us trouble.

We need RJ to have a beast game so Philly gets enticed. Noel is the player we want.

Blkbrd671 · Post #17 » by **Blkbrd671** » Tue Feb 7, 2017 12:38 am

I'd also take TJ Mcconnel

DETermination · Post #18 » by **DETermination** » Tue Feb 7, 2017 12:39 am

quick pre game prediction, tj mcconnell is going to have atleast 30 points this game.

Okafor/McConnell going to school Drummond/Jackson
