JJ got banished to the shadow realm w/ that block.

Bryan must die a little inside every time something like this happens. And just wait until Simmons and Embiid are on the court together and the crowd starts chanting "Trust The Process!" Poor guy, but at least he can take solace in the fact that he drafted Ben Simmons. :D

I give Hinkie the credit for Ben Simmons becoming a Sixer. The tank is what allowed us to draft him. The only thing Colangelo did was phone it in.

I thought TJ wore #12... is that him? It doesn't look like him.

Don't remember seeing him in a beard last night and the next day he has a full goatee?

A super trustworthy anonymous reddit source claims that Embiid has signed a max or near-max extension with team-friendly protections.

Hope this is true!

Hard to believe that something like this would happen though without Woj knowing.
