OT: Philadelphia 76ers: Onseason

[Hiesenberg]

I think Simmons had another sick dunk and Portland called a TO. Brown goes over to Ben and just is smiling ear to ear, glad he's been giving the chance to reap the rewards.

 

[Jack Straw]

He was glowing....all his hard work is paying off. He left saying how proud he was with his team and how they get along and keep getting better. It was very inspiring and heartening...

He said it in his post-game interview too, so we know it’s legit. Lol

I need Joel Embiid’s head on AI’s body and Jalen Rose’s head on Tyron Lue because he just got destroyed by Embiid

 

[FLYguy3911]

I must have missed it. What did Rose say?

Reference to when Kobe dropped 81 on Rose and Tronno.

How can anyone not be a fan of Embiid?

Nah...I prefer the 69% innuendo...check it out on the urban dictionary. Every man's dream is to find a 69 percenter..

Oh I understand. I wasn’t born yesterday.

Bens out tomorrow, elbow soreness.

 

[Embiid]

Bens out tomorrow, elbow soreness.

Well that sucks...

 

[Jack Straw]

Dario doing a nice job on the offensive boards

 

[Embiid]

Without Simmons they have still played well. Pace and space baby!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Orlando has been bleeding points the last 7 games.

 

[Jack Straw]

Sixers are playing some good team D too

 

[Embiid]

Nice job by TJ tonight!

 

[Jack Straw]

Korkmaz razzle-dazzle

 

[Jack Straw]

Remember when the Sixers couldn’t close out games? Yeah, that was a thing.

 

[Embiid]

Big week ahead with Lebron on Monday and the hated Celtics on Wed....

Edit..actually Celtics on Thurs...Washington Wed...

 

[Frickley]

I love this team as much as I hate Dave Hakstol: infinitely

 

[Hiesenberg]

I really want to beat the Celtics, but I just have a bad feeling.

Unlike the Flyers ....Sixers have an identity and their process is working....

Shout out to all those Sixers fans who suffered through the losses and defended the process....we are getting our reward!

Yeah doesnt help it is back to back either...another example of the league screwing us with scheduling this year...

Good games from Dario, TJ, JJ. Flexed our depth tonight against a team that just doesn't have much talent. Orlando is just a ton of non-shooters.
People saying Gordon improved after starting the season out hot but I didn't see star potential in his draft year and I still don't see it now.
There really were people at the time saying we should've drafted him over Embiid because of injury concerns.

Games like this indicate that we have to be patient with Dario. With Simmons his skillset is redundant for the most part but he does have the ability to be a solid contributer and right now he's part of the best 5man lineup in basketball. Ideally we find/ bring over a more defensively versatile 4 to insert in the staring lineup(Holmes/Bolden? Probably wishful thinking) and Saric can be moved to the bench where his ballhandling, playmaking, and overall scoring package can be more singularly featured.

I watch some 76ers, yeah the team, fans deserve a winner. Embiid yah he will be something special. And they have a bench. With Simmons and fulz out hopefully back soon, but they are trending in the right direction. What’s the plan with Okafor?
