Oddly enough- Last year felt more fun for obvious reasons...Low expectations. Of course, a post season birth would cure that pretty damn quick.

Embiid going for 60

Mobley might break in half

I feel like that's a loss then. Love Mobley, but he isn't ready for Embiid yet.

The way Embiid flops around and recklessly falls over people, it's more likely Mobley will get hurt. Embiid's flopping/reckless BS tore his own teammate's (Danny Green) ACL last year.

Philly is beat up to their starting back court is out, Cavs should have a huge advantage their

Lopez will have to start.

Philly has been doing just fine without Maxey and Harden.

Lopez will have to start.

Need the Big Goon version of Robin Lopez against Embiid. Don't let that flopping bitch ass do his intentional Mr. Magoo shit and get someone hurt.

We always have the coaching disadvantage though which evens the playing field out

Actually I think its Lopez/Mobley vs Embiid that evens it out

 

[Omar The Horse]

I preach patience. They will figure this out.

I’m not a betting a man but i don’t think they will make any trades this season. Diakite will earn the 15th slot. Maybe they sign Cooper to the other two-way spot. Don’t get your hopes up on transactions. This group needs time together to make moments like tonight become more frequent.

Looks like home-court advantage in the post-season will be important considering their record at home vs. away.

Hard to complain. We know they're still figuring stuff out, making mistakes, some big mistakes, not always showing up, weird line-ups, bad shooting nights, etc... yet....

3rd in a strong East and top 5 in the league, and it's starting to feel less like a fluke... and we know we're only tapping at the potential.

For what it's worth too, I've always preffered teams with a defensive first prescense, over the high octane offenses (that almost never win in the playoffs anyways, unless you have Curry).

Hate watching Embiid play. I'm glad he's finally getting a "dirty" reputation.

He hits the ground a lot. Flopping all over. That's not good for his body. He may be shortening his career hitting the floor so much.

Yeah I think the away play is the biggest issue they have. Look like 2 different teams.

Not too unusual for a you g group of guys.

Eh, I don't have a problem with him hitting the ground a lot when there is actual contact. It's actually the safest way to fall, and I am glad DG and DM hit the ground a lot. I'll take bumps and bruises over knee issues ala Derrick Rose. He would have benefited a lot from falling down.

It's the constant complaining to the refs, "Who me?!?!", whining, and the dirty play that bother me with Embiid. Luckily he didn't throw himself at anybody's knees last night, at least that I saw.
