All this Lillard/Clippers stuff is gonna lead to him dropping 50 on us tomorrow right

Jokic is also cold blooded. This game is absurd.

Sixers have an away game vs a desperate Blazers squad coming off loss tomorrow... They've got...

Watch on YouTube

(Back to back after a hard fought game is a plus, but I'd be surprised)

Now Luka is cooking.

Hmm... Pacers win, Heat lose... Is there actually a decent shot we could end with Indy in round 1? Seems like all the talk is Heat/Celtics

Doncic is a freak. Just crushing the Bucks.

The off the court stuff was just too toxic IMO. I think it was too toxic that it has the potential to destroy the entire roster.

After the Orlando game I am more convinced than ever Fultz would not have worked out here even given time. He is playing somewhat better but it is as a reserve. He does not have the skills or the mental makeup to be a starter for a team that want to compete for a title. He is in an ideal situation. He comes in plays has some fun and goes back to the bench. No one is expecting him to put the team on their shoulders. No one is expecting him to hit the winning shot. No one is expecting him to lead by example, he is just not capable right now. And he might never be.

I bet knowing what we know now if BC was still in charge he would have moved up and taken Ball.

Zion not playing too well at C. Looks like a below the rim player in the post. Throwing up wild layups that miss badly just to get around Poeltl's length.

I've been operating under the assumption that it was a foregone conclusion that we were going to get to keep that pick. Is it in jeopardy of not being ours?

Well, OKC pick is protected 1-20.
Currently we and Indy are sitting at 20, only half game behind the Thunder (at 21).

So yes, it's in jeopardy.

The good news is that Miami, Utah are half only game ahead to OKC and the Rockets are only 1 game ahead them.

Everything is on the table.

If we and Indy will go with the same record of the Thunder in the last 4 games, than the pick will be guaranteed

Overhyped.

Easy to say now that he’s struggling, but overall I just dont see how he can be a first tier star with his game.

MPJ would sure look good on the Sixers. But I can't hold that against Brand. No GM in their right mind would draft a player who's expected to miss their rookie season due to surgery.

They say Back injury is worse than a knee injury.

2 games left for OKC. Huge game against Miami tomorrow. They win that and the pick is ours.

They did it lol

What a shame they lose the Grizzlies game

It's Hard. I suppose OKC is going to lose both its games.
So we need that two between Sixers, Jazz and Indy get another loss.
And than hope... I don't Know the tiebreakers.

Guess we can rule out putting blind hope on Micic being our PnR ball handler of the future (I don't think we have exclusive rights beyond this year)
