Exactly. That guy made a dumb take and is mad he’s being called out for it.

dude’s a moron. fultz committed to uw before two first round picks declared for the nba draft. also uw staff has been recruiting fultz since his sophomore year in highschool and he showed loyalty throughout the recruitment process.

I do love how Simmons is the opposite of Embiid. I think we need balance in leadership. Embiid is a leader on our team and is our defensive leader. Simmons is a leader on our team and is our offensive leader. Embiid is outrageous and say some crazy things. Nothing really over the line but he gets some media members asking if players will go at him and some fans of other teams don’t like Embiid’s act. If Embiid were on another team I probably wouldn’t like his act either but he’s on my team so I love him. Embiid is the type of player where if he plays for your team you will defend him to death but if he plays against your team you want him to get his comeuppance. Lol.

Simmons on the other hand is levelheaded. He doesn’t get too up or too down. He’s a calming influence on our team. He’s a quiet assassin. He doesn’t engage on twitter like Embiid does. Simmons stays out of the limelight. He was built for this. He was groomed to be in this position. I think he and Embiid are a great pair on and off the court. Just complete opposites. I don’t foresee them bumping heads trying to see who is the alpha male and fight over who’s team it is like Shaq and Kobe. I think they mesh well together. I don’t see any jealousy between the two. I hope I have a good read on them becaue I would hate to be wrong and in 3 years reading how they don’t get along and Simmons demands it’s either him or Embiid and one has to go. I just don’t foresee that. I think they like each other and th bond is real.

Read on Twitter

Said it happened on this play, which he bangs elbows and then rubs it, but they’re also saying it was his left elbow so they either cited the wrong elbow or the wrong play. Lol. Sixers being stupid one way or the other.

Just as we’re streaking. I hope Embiid and Cov will beat up on them.

Sound minor.

Actually, it does look like it could be swiped at towards the end. Would explain the left arm seeming to be in the motion and then suddenly dropping, as well as shot being so off.

This was a clear cut win, it is now almost certainly a loss.. vs a team I REALLY REALLY wanted to beat as I watch eith my magic fan friends. **** figures

Not necessarily. The Magic will be on the back end of back-to-backs.

Didn't we beat them last year in Orlando without Simmons and Embiid?

Anything can happen but I'm not exactly quaking in my boots about a lottery team on a 6 game losing streak playing the second night of a back to back on the road when we have Embiid.

Maybe this will be Pullin's chance to show whether he's a player.
