I know that I rate intangibles far too highly. But I knew all I needed to know about Embiid the moment I saw him trying to tell Mook he was in our heads, when we were up 3-0.

Call me crazy for reading so much into it, but that smelled to me like someone who is spending too much time thinking about the wrong things. Appearances over actions, etc.

I don't really even know how to describe it. It just struck me a certain way. Like he was desperately trying to convince himself of something but couldn't.

I just don't know if he's quite got 'it'.

I could watch Kawhi play basketball for days on end and never get bored.

This Philly-Clipper game is high quality stuff. I think Philly is gonna be a lot better with Al coming off the bench. Never made any sense him along side Embiid.

Whew Simmons. There's no defense for a perfectly ridiculous shot.

Only Marcus Morris could go iso at the top of the key while Lou Will, Paul George and Kawhi sit outside the 3 point line and watch. Lol

I don't know if I've watched a single non-C's game this year that has gone the way I wanted it to.

It's gotten to the point where if I tune into a game that's tied, I am absolutely positive the 'bad guys' will be up double digits in a couple of minutes. It's just getting stupid.

I like the fit with the Clippers but that side of Morris could be a problem

Stopped watching for a minute, LAC within 4. Incoming PHI run.

Brings a tear to your eye watching it happen somewhere else.

Nothing but missed shots and turnovers since I tuned back in. I don't know what conspiracy theory to go with now...

I mised the third, was eating.

But I am not sure I totally care who wins. On one side it's not terrible for Philly to keep the lead over the Pacers (who could lose btw to the Bucks tomorrow too).

On the flip side facing the Clippers coming off a loss sucks. But do the Clippers seem that into this regular season?

Do you guys actually care who wins this game? Sixers are like 6 games back.

Just reflexively rooting against them.

Ok Morris is legit really annoying.

LOL Mook will be the end of Clippers title chances. Even the Almighty Doc can't rein him in.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #317 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:29 am

Impressive win by Philly. They have a very high ceiling.

SMTBSI · Post #318 » by **SMTBSI** » Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:30 am

Up 9 with 1:15 to play. If Philly were us, this game would come down to the final buzzer.

The dude has no conscience either. He will absolutely be taking shots away from Kawhi in a big playoff game, and the funniest part is he thinks he is entitled to do it, lol.

Just thankful Kyrie, Mook, and TRo are no longer with the Cs. Rozier's still young though and really needed a different environment/role. The other two won't change for anybody.
