[Lotusflower]

loved drazen

Before Curry, the best shooter of all time title was his.

that nets team could have been great, but they f***ed up and picked kenny anderson.

Had they picked Dikembe you are looking at a starting lineup of mookie drazen chris morris, coleman and dikembe.

 

[Lotusflower]

aaaaannnndddd for the 1st time in his career Ben Simmons actually spins baseline.
Been yelling at my screen for 18 months.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Brick.
Brick.
Brick.
Brick.
Brick.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

this game is a snooze fest. not much energy by either team so far.

 

[Jtown]

simmons... ugg

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Soooo many bricks.

 

[Jtown]

this league is so soft.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Brickkkkkk.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

My middle schoolers are more offensively efficient than these two teams.

 

[sa cyred]

This is so damn painful to watch.

 

[BigToe]

Lakers are sneakily trying to tank.

It’s so obvious at this point. Silver won’t do anything though.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s so obvious at this point. Silver won’t do anything though.

Just need like three or four teams to pass them and they have a 9% shot at Zion as opposed to the worst team in league having 14%.

 

[Jack Straw]

It’s Joel Embiid’s world. We’re just living in it.

 

[Jtown]

huge win

 

[Jack Straw]

Nice response in the 2nd half. Amazing what can happen when you play defense.

 

[Jtown]

Lakers are sneakily trying to tank.

they actually make themselves better by n ot playing ingram

 

[Lotusflower]

If we can play that 2nd half defense consistently then I could see us in the Finals, thats a big if though.

Appreciate Jo. Go to the games when you can.
Misses a month and then comes out and slaughters the 2nd best D in the league on both ends.

 

[Embiid]

An Embeastly game …..we obviously need him healthy to avoid getting upset in the playoffs as much as possible....we are just a different team particularly defensively when he is playing. No surprise...

 

[Tim Tebow]

they actually make themselves better by n ot playing ingram

That's untrue. He looked like a bust for the first half or so of the season but was an absolute stud the last couple months.

 

[Jtown]

That's untrue. He looked like a bust for the first half or so of the season but was an absolute stud the last couple months.

no. this is his second season in which he has negative vorp.

 

[Tim Tebow]

no. this is his second season in which he has negative vorp.

Ah it's been a while since I have seen the vorp argument lol.

As said though Ingram started the season terribly and was on fire before he got hurt. His season vorp has no relevance to my point.

With that said I wouldn't put all your eggs into just looking at a vorp number and taking it as gospel on a players value. For example Embiid is the Sixers MVP by a wide margin it's not even debatable. Yet vorp would imply Butler would be harder to replace than Embiid.

The biggest problem with Ingram is paying him is an issue for anyone that trades for him.

He had certainly been playing better than early in the year even if some things you really want to see like the Corner 3 weren't there like they were last year, but you've got to balance getting 2 years of control out of a guy who already looks like not a star versus playing the draft lottery for 5 years of control.

When the rookie scale is up, you have to be right. Can't give those deals to non-stars as a rebuilder.

Just need like three or four teams to pass them and they have a 9% shot at Zion as opposed to the worst team in league having 14%.

If they end up with Zion, i think we all know that Lebron is just going to trade him.

 

[Schwarbomb]

If they end up with Zion, i think we all know that Lebron is just going to trade him.

If they end up with Zion, they should trade LeBron before they do that. Sixers right now have a 1 in 200 shot at Zion.
