Didnt get to watch this one but saw the box score, did Mobley go super Saiyan finally?

Okoro is either a creature of habit, really consistent, or both; and I don't know how to take that. He just may be this teams Triple Single (Draymond) after all...

33 assists. 5 from Rubio. He’s a force multiplier.

Both games this weekend were no Brainers and turned out the opposite. That's the NBA

Big win to clinch the tie-breaker with the Bucks.

I was also pissed last night, but this team is good. They are still kids. They are gonna make mistakes you wouldn't see from a veteran team in the same position

I think about this when I see the Warriors (with their starters), Celtics, and Denver. Their core guys have been playing together much longer. It shows.

The thinking is, the kid might be good.

I had to do double check this - Kings 74 76ers 64 at halftime...

JYD is a no-brainer tonight! Awesome performance by Evan

What do you mean, Evan has no offensive potential and cant shoot a jumper and no footwork around the rim.

Sure i saw about 12 different post moves out of him, incredible quickness, incredible lift, but that was just all luck.

No Embiid. Guess they can't defend.

His move late in the game - his last two points - where he switched hands & went around Lopez was a sight to behold.

So I guess I need to watch this one.?

Besides Bobby Portis, only Brook Lopez was a real threat from 3. Their bigs couldn't deal with Mobley at all.
Nice bounce back from the shit fest.

I hope this team addresses the need to destroy perimeter attacks on defense.

 

[Rich]

6th man of the year will go to someone else, but I have no doubt the best bench player is Bobby Portis.

Malcolm Brogdon is good, but I'd rather have the athletic 7 footer who runs the floor and plays aggressive and can shoot 3s coming off my bench any day of the week.

Nice win, 1.5 games out of the 2 seed.

It feels like if all four teams battling for the two seed (Philly, NJ, Milwaukee, and us) were fully healthy over the rest of the season we’d end up with the four or five seed. But a couple of strategic injuries to other teams while we stay healthy could boost us higher.
