Definitely a stretch from hell coming up. I’d be happy if they can win one of these next three games. Pistons on Sat should be tough too.

Dario is best as a starter...pretty clear. He has been trying to find his niche all season. Those saying he should be traded are too reactive. He is a versatile, hardhat...glue type player. You need those kind of role players like that on your team especially come playoff time. Did I say playoffs? Wow. Times have changed ...

Call me an asshole, but I'm sick of this Jah thing. I'm tired of the martyr "I did everything they asked me to do"

I'm pretty sure the main thing was, be a good player, play defense, try to rebound, pass the ball every now and then. He doesn't do any of those. Bottom line is this team doesn't need you and if you were that good, you'd be the first C off the bench, but it's clear you are a detriment to the team. Don't cry me a river.

Did you not watch okafor's rookie year. That dude was all we had that prevented us from having the worst record in the NBA. If Okafor was not a stud we were gonna lose. I hope he gets traded to soem team that will use him. He still has potential.

Okafor's game is anathema to pace and space. He is a black hole on offense and a matador on D. He is servicable but not on this team and very few in the NBA. I hope they find him a home soon bc it is embarrassing seeing him glued to the bench anymore....

The team was worse with him on the court in the rookie year that keeps getting mentioned as good. It wasn't. The passing out of the post and especially out of a double that made him so effective at Duke has never translated.

Maybe he'll turn it around, but any idea of him ever having being good in this league is just wrong. You do have to give the guy credit for not being a distraction when he easily could have been though.

Its proof Jtown didn't watch the Sixers during those years that he could think Jah was actually a positive in his rookie year.
With him as the first option we were historically inept. And he was supposed to be high floor. He still might have value but as long as we have Embiid we don't need him.

Simmons looking starry-eyed w Lebron in the building playing trash defense

Lebron decided this one matters, huh? I take that as a positive. They're building league buzz.

I'm going to be happy if this is 10 or so after 2 given the shooting so far. Hopefully they tighten up the defense at the half and build from there.
