OT: Philadelphia 76ers and the NBA (basketball)

[kelmitchell]

I love the look of the new threads

 

[kelmitchell]

In theory, he could fit with Simmons the same way he fit with LeBron. In practice, it seems he doesn't like that kind of fit. It sounds like he wants the ball in his hands and for the offense to go through him, and that's not happening here. He's a heckuva talent but he's more a scorer than a facilitator. Sounds like he wants a chance to be Russell Westbrook, which I don't think will work on the Sixers.

Kyrie is highly over rated, he wants the ball in his hand but his passing abilities are not that good, he has handles but other than that hes not a player id want with the ball in his hands the majority of the time

 

[Embiid]

TLC with knee issues....

It feels as though he is going to have an up and down season. He was pretty meh in summer league. The injury supposedly isn't severe ...

Looks like TLC has given #20 to Fultz

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

I've decided I'll be buying one of the new sixers jerseys, probably white. Either Embiid or Simmons. I'll give it 20 games to see who i want most haha

TLC is getting traded....

TLC is getting traded....

They probably cut a deal. Fultz buys TLC cheesesteaks for a year.

Either that or Chick-Fil-A. Fultz apparently loves that joint...

 

[Jack Straw]

That's right. Forgot about that. I'd go for the cheesesteaks personally.

 

[Ruck Over]

Think it's a coincidence that there is a Chik-fil-A vendor inside the WellsFargo?

 

[The Madrigal]

Those new jerseys are sweet. That subtle change of adding the red trim to the numbers and letters really makes the jersey pop.

 

[Jack Straw]

Preseason schedule is out:



The games against the Celtics should be interesting.

"The Center"...

It gets me every time.

 

[Jack Straw]

"The Wach" would be more in keeping with Philly tradition... "The Vet", "The Linc"

 

[Les Averman]

Hasn't been the Wachovia Center for years.

 

[Jack Straw]

Hasn't been the Wachovia Center for years.

Oh right. Damn time jumps.

 

[Young Sandwich]

"The Well" has a nice ring to it...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The whole thing is that the Sixers refuse to recognize Wells Fargo.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

While on the topic of "it get's me every time"...

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Lolololol he cant just NOT block the shot

 

[Hiesenberg]

Embiid is always in defense mode, in life, in the game.

 

[Embiid]

He needs to "defend" his body better if we have any hope he will indeed be our franchise player...

 

[Cody Webster]

As some have speculated, the Sixers will play on Christmas Day. The eagles and sixers both on Christmas Day. Crazy.
