Of course you just know for a fact that Harden is playing 43 minutes in that scrimmage game.

Its not possible to respond to this post without saying something rude about idiot Americans.


Made it 13 words in and then failed.

From the article, "I don’t think anyone predicted "

This is the stupid people narrative.

I think I agree SharoneWright.

No Bradley or Rondo means no traditional point-guards save for our good old 2019 chump Quinn Cook. It requires them to re-imagine their backcourt with a particularly significant impact on how they defend ball carriers. But while with Rondo and Bradley platooning, with James running things from the wing, they'll now be looking at something similar to what Vogel deployed mid-season when Bradley has been out: he typically starts Caldwell-Pope, who is having a career year as a shooter, statistically. They went 16-2 with this starting lineup:

James / Cook
Caldwell-Pope / Caruso
Green
Davis / Kuzma
Howard/McGee

This sure does shorten their bench, but we've seen Lebron wreak havoc with far worse teams.

Kudos to Norm for calling out the league on their lame and controlling PR clampdown on jersey slogans. Here is my slogan:

Law of the Castle Doctrine stipulates AR15's can be registered with proof of castle ownership. Those not owning castles will have to find other means of defending their property.

Saw that Wiggins was trending on Twitter and apparently there's a rumour going around that if the Warriors land #1, they'll try and package the pick and Wiggins for a star - namely Siakam

Embiid is going eat the Celtics “bigs” alive. If we play Boston next round, it’ll be the first time I’ll truly miss JV on the court instead of Gasol since the trade.

I love that the Sixers are totally ignoring Theis from 3. Raptors need to do that too.

The Sixers are such a dumb team.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

76ers have EVERYTHING in their current roster construction, to beat the living heck out of Boston.

They got a dominant 7 foot big that *can* be dominant af.

They got Horford.

They got a bunch of big bodied guards and wings to throw at Jaston Tatum / Jaylen Brown. Shake Milton, Tobias, Horford, Richardson.

They legit have a chemistry issue as well as a coaching issue.

Coaching being the biggest.

Why the hell did the Sixers give Harris all that money?

They were better off burning it in an effigy to the Gods.
