Got to push the pace every time with Embiid and Horford... they won’t be able to keep up for the full game.

Not yet.

More trustworthy though for sure. Embiid is too cool for school.

He’s got to be one of the most underrated players. Even some of the baskets Embiid scored were pretty tough. Honestly he doesn’t really have much of a weakness in his game other than size against bigger players

Told you there's no need to panic. All of the C's mistakes (too much iso and missed layups) were correctable by a timeout. They just needed to calm down a bit.

Lots of guys here being prisoners of the moment, as usual :lol:

Kemba moves at videogame speed. So fun to watch how effortlessly he gets to his spots.

He's a human cupcake. What do cupcakes care about "defense"?

He probably lived his dream this year. Knew what the deal was, and just enjoyed every minute of it. It's what I'd do in his position.

I think he's made the choice since he doesn't have enough stamina to play both sides of the ball.

Going to need good Theis this series. Good player. Kanter wasn’t good, Williams was decent in his stint. Hope Timelird picks up how Theis plays.

GETTING PSYCHED!!!

YOU PSYCHED??

LETS BURY THESE CLOWNS!
One day Leon Powe and I were cracking up on Eddie House’s tattoo.…[Garnett] was like, ‘C’mon, Scal, it’s time to rock! What the ‘F’ are you doing?’ And I was like, ‘You know what? You’re right. It is time to rock.’ – Brian Scalabrine

Too bad the offense has been putrid. 76ers are turning the ball over left and right. Kemba needs to start hitting. He's getting good shots.
