Around the League

Remember that year where we had a very poor lottery position but only had like 2 or 3 more wins than teams in top 5 lottery positions?

This year has that kind of potential too. Lots of teams at close to the same win total, and we're at the top of the group.

Ouch.

Of course, on the bright side, we're also 4 games out of the 6th playoff spot despite our terrible play, so hey, things could always turn around. Kinda tough to imagine after that last game though.

We'll win meaningless games late as teams will unabashedly be tanking and we'll be above that and trying to win for the sanctity of the league.

So what are the odds that the 76ers finish with a better record than Detroit. They're only 2.5 games back.

if embiid stays healthy, very likely and i would even say get out of the first round, assumign they don't get cavs. The Sixers play with pride, effort and huge grudge on their shoulder, or in every way we don't.

Sixers got a coach that obviously loves his job, a legit Franchise player, workers across the roster, a defensive big, a tweener that could be scary sooner rather thsn later AND can get Ben Simmons back too!

IF they make the playoffs I wanna see Hinkie at their first home playoff

If they make the playoffs Hinkie should get exec of the year easily. Colangelo hasn't done anything other than leaving everything as Hinkie left it so far.

And I'd want to see Hinkie get hired immediately. Maybe us if somehow SVG says screw it and calls it quits.

He's really turned it around this year.

Should've been KCP in there.

But maybe with a hand in his face. he seems to shoot it better contested lol.

Will Harden draw all the attention away from him during the contest?

Devin booker had a monster January and is off to a great start this month. Starting to justify the hype people had for him coming into the season.

A Davis and Okafor pairing would be interesting. Still not sure even Anthony could cover for Jahlil's bad defense though.

I think we still need to give Stanley another year or two before we start determining whether or not we should've chosen someone else. KCP took 3+ years to break out. Then again (in nothing but complete retrospect), I really wish we'd drafted Myles Turner. So maybe I'm complete full of it.

booker has a legit chance to be a superstar, SJ is in that same boat except he has a lot further to go. we'd legitametly be one step further if we had Booker over SJ

Pharaoh · Post #999 » by **Pharaoh** » Tue Feb 7, 2017 4:28 am

I don't think Booker is a superstar in the making

Offensively he's great but can he defend any of the really good SGs?

If we had Booker he wouldn't unseat KCP - he'd be a 6th Man gunner on the wing playing maybe 26 minutes a night

Imagine him out there with Reggie! We'd be the Etroit Pistons!

Myles Turner >> Booker
