OT: Philadelphia 76ers: Onseason

[FLYguy3911]

Too bad Okafor is the backup option...

Nope. Saric is.

 

[Embiid]

Wtf is with Gortat...

 

[Embiid]

Simmons has to make his FT's...

 

[Embiid]

Roco on fire!

 

[Jack Straw]

What was that Bayless

 

[Protest]

Blew it

 

[Embiid]

Fick! Terrible down the stretch with the deflections!

 

[Protest]

Maybe not haha

 

[FLYguy3911]

Choked. Two open looks consecutive possessions.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Bayless terrible pass and then just f***ing stares at the loose ball.

 

[Embiid]

I think we will tie it with a 3 ....with some seconds to spare..

 

[Jack Straw]

Interesting to see what Brown comes up with here. He’s got RoCo, JJ, and Embiid as legit 3 pt shooters.

 

[Embiid]

Goddamit!

 

[Rebels57]

Redick is the right guy to give that look.

Encouraging effort against a top team.

 

[Jack Straw]

Def a good effort first game on the road against a good team.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Super happy with that opener. The talent is there.

Raving about a ref he found during a college practice in the offseason is peak Van Gundy.

 

[Embiid]

Sucks..hate losing but it was a good showing.

 

[FLYguy3911]

27 minutes for Embiid. Not too many falls either.

 

[Lotusflower]

Luck ran out on this one.

-Simmons went off. Jtown I havent forgotten our avatar bet.
-Embiid was straight up bad offensively for long stretches. Made bad decisions but Roco picked him up in that regard
-TJ, Bayless, JJ are all good players and vast improvements on what we've run out before but for everything they give you in terms of ball-handling and shooting theyll give it all back on the defensive end. Watching them trying to spot Beal/Wall in the 2nd half was pure comedy and the difference in the game.

Fans talk an awful lot about players who just look the part on the court or have an aura, but I don't think we apply it to coaches enough. When you listen to Brett Brown talk, you know he gets it.

He's the Anti-Hakstol

Sixers look like a team with a lot of inexperienced players who haven't played together.
In other words, like they have the last few years, except with real talent!

The hallmark of Brown's teams, even when they were talent deficient, has always been tough defense.
When he gets this group playing together, they're going to cause real problems for teams with their length.

It's easy to forget that Embiid has played 33 games, Fultz and Simmons 0, Saric one full season, TLC a handful of starts.

 

[Jack Straw]

The Sixers starters were all plus players tonight. The bench struggled.

 

[Frickley]

I'm very optimistic with what we saw tonight. They played a very good team tight on the road.

Fultz even looked alright, despite plenty of 'welcome to the NBA' moments. The jump shot he made looked nice. Hopefully he'll start getting the feel back soon, he's way too good historically as a shooter not to.

 

[Hurricane28]

Simmons looked great last night
