Meh. Embiid is great against mediocre competition. Good against great competition. His body won’t hold up and that’s a big shame. Simmons...same dealeo. People forget what they looked like against the Cs.

Yea, they are both good and both struggle against good defenses. Horfie and Baynes made them look silly. Simmons has been as good as advertised tho. I'd dare him to shoot every time he catches the ball.

So .... Jae wanted out, got his wish and now he's shooting .380 from the field and averaging 8 points. The best thing he did for the Cavs so far this season is push Hayward why he was in the air. Cause if Hayward was healthy I literally don't see a way the Cavs can beat us. I'm dead serious.

Embiid was getting into game shape when we saw him. He’s also still learning how to attack against NBA defences.

The potential is scary. Yes the health stuff is a worry but you can’t be saying he won’t hold up unless you’ve actually seen his medical records. In today’s game I have a lot more faith in a guy like him holding up than I do almost a decade ago when Oden was running around.

Man I wish we stunk more in 2013-14. Having Embiid here instead of Smart would have been incredible.

So Lebron rolled his ankle ankle again. Sorry, but those minutes are going to add up on him by playoff time. Cavs need to be careful with his minutes.

I still don’t.

Embiid was amazing. It was great to see. Simmons is looking really good too. I really liked their uniforms last night.

Philly has a really nice young team. I hope they can stay healthy. Fultz still has a chance to be really good as well.

Thanks to Lonzo (and Lavar) for telling the C's not to bother with drafting him.

Once I saw he doesn't play PnR and that weird slow release I knew he wasn't gonna be a superstar. To me there's still time but he'll have toruble becoming an All-Star(he's weak, slow, unathletic, etc..)..

Yes, lets only focus on the one game against the Celtics and ignore the other 13 games they've played. They're ridiculously young still, no one is expecting them to play like all stars every day.

I just cannot take a Lebron injury seriously at all. I mean remember when he was questionable the first game because of an ankle sprain then he played great.

Cavs are asking a lot of Lebron now but when IT and TT come back they will be a different team. Not good enough to beat the warriors but good enough to buzz-saw through the east again.

Another product of Brad's system.

Some fans used to think that Jae is almost as good as Hayward.

They will buzz-saw through the East even without IT. They really don't need IT til the finals.

**** Philadelphia. They are in our division. I remember when they had Moses, Toney, Cheeks, BJones and Doc. They could potentially block our path to numbers 18,19 20,... You guys want to see them be good? I sure as **** don't.
