I am! They are playing out of their minds right now! ALL their guys that should shoot the 3PT are at highest upside presently. Simmons even without any resemblance of an outside shot can't seem to be guarded. And the half court defense is unreal. Brown has these guys motivated.
Even in limited time, Fultz appears to be able to go around ALL. Wait till he gets his shot down. And can't wait for Embiid's return, but just wondering what effect that will have on possibly clogging up the lane on offense where Ben seems to be finding everyone for easy baskets? Probably not at all.

As for Embiid, I don’t see any issue with him coming back, he played during half of the unbeaten run we’re on so far. The issue before was that we’d go on a tear on the first half and then give it up during the second. Since we got Belinelli and Ilya, we’ve been so much better at closing out games.

Your opinions are not truths @ALC
Btw, Philly are doing an awesome job; I really hope they make it to the NBA Finals this year. I can see them defeating every other team in the East, unless they come up against LeBum and Da Cavs
In other news, it seems Allegri's word were misinterpreted:
In his Press conference, Allegri seemed to hint that he still had to discuss his future with the club and wasn’t sure whether he was staying.
“Maybe my words were misunderstood. I simply said that every March-April we meet to plan the future. I am happy here, I am fully in sync with the club. I go on vacation when the transfer window opens, as I trust the club completely.
“We still need to pick some objectives. If we don’t win the Scudetto and Coppa Italia, they might not still want me! We’ll talk it over the way we always do, every year, there’s no difference.”

Allegri: 'More pressure on Napoli’
By Football Italia staff
Max Allegri believes there’s more pressure on Napoli to win the league than Juventus because “it’s the only objective they have”.
The Bianconeri are six points clear at the top of Serie A, and they face Maurizio Sarri’s side on Sunday night in Turin.
“Juventus have 84 points right now, and in another season that would be close to winning the league,” Allegri pointed out in his Press conference ahead of the Crotone match.
“It’s not the case now. Napoli have the chance to break their record of 84 points and, as Sarri said last time, to win the league.
“They’re still there fighting for the title and they have every chance. It’s normal that, as it’s the only objective they have, there’s more pressure on them but we have to be ready.
“Meanwhile, before Napoli, there’s Crotone, as I’ve said.
“There are no calculations to be made, there are six games to go and we need four wins, mathematically.
“Otherwise we’ll see what happens, but we have a difficult fixture list, as do Napoli, so everything is still in play.
“We need to go slowly, take it one step at a time. Tomorrow we have to go and win against a good Crotone team, to stay six points clear with five games until the end.
“Then we’ll get ready for the beautiful night of football that Sunday will be.”
Allegri also gave an update on his team selection for tomorrow’s game.
“[Andrea] Barzagli is available because he was on the bench the other day, [Miralem] Pjanic definitely isn’t and then the others are more or less available.
“I need to evaluate [Federico] Bernardeschi today to decide whether to bring him back in or not.
“There will be some changes, but I don’t know because I need to evaluate the condition of the squad. What’s certain is we need the right energy to go and win at Crotone.
“Tomorrow [Wojciech] Szczesny will play. As far as Gigi [Buffon] goes, that evening in Madrid was good for him because it gave him the adrenaline rush he needed.
“Champions live on that adrenaline, great evenings; moments of confusion, mess and tension. If everything was all calm and flat, everyone would fall asleep.
“I don’t know if I’ll play [Rodrigo] Bentancur tomorrow [in place of Pjanic], I might play [Claudio] Marchisio.
“I’ll see who is ready and who isn’t, because [Juan] Cuadrado is coming off a lot of games, and after a spell on the sidelines it’s normal that could cause him to lose a bit of his sharpness.
“We’re all really good mentally though and that’s the important thing, because at this stage of the season the mental side counts for a lot.”
Sami Khedira was whistled against Milan, but has been in fine form ever since…
“Khedira is a player of international class,” Allegri declared.
“Maybe a lot of people haven’t noticed that, but it’s never too late. Wherever he’s been, with all the Coaches he’s had, he’s always played. There’s a reason for that.
“He had five years at Real Madrid, then an injury stopped him for two-and-a-half years. Fortunately he came to Juventus, and it was an excellent signing by Juventus.


“The quality of Khedira is not up for discussion.”
Napoli could be allowed away fans in Turin on Sunday, albeit not Neapolitans from Campania, is that a good sign?
“I don’t know anything about that. In any case it must be an evening of sport, where two contenders for the title will face off.
“So it’ll definitely be a good game of football, after that I don’t know…
“Italy needs to reach a level of maturity where fans can attend all of their team’s away matches.”
Allegri: 'Crotone matters more’
By Football Italia staff
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri insists “of the two games we have this week, the most important and the most decisive is tomorrow” at Crotone.
The Bianconeri face their Scudetto rivals Napoli in Turin on Sunday night, but first they travel south for a midweek clash with the Squali.
“Of the two games we will have to face this week, I think the most important and the most decisive is tomorrow,” Allegri insisted in his pre-match Press conference.
“To go into a head-to-head match six points ahead is an advantage that we can say is important.
“Then there’s another fact, that after going six clear on Sunday I heard talk of the Scudetto already being won, of celebrations.
“Until the maths says so you don’t have it, and to have the maths on our side we need wins.
“Tomorrow we go to Crotone, who first of all are a good team because they didn’t deserve to lose to Genoa and most of the points they have came at home.
“They have six points more than they did last year, and playing there is always difficult. We struggled there last year, so we need patience and to make sure we don’t fall into the trap of getting caught on the counter-attack.
“We have to come away with three points, the lads gave a good response after Madrid with the right match against Sampdoria, but tomorrow we need there more points, because what we have isn’t enough for the Scudetto.
“Moreover, Napoli have only one objective this season so they’ll do everything to re-open the title race and win it. By contrast we have the Coppa Italia too, but in any case we can’t let the league get away from us.”
Medhi Benatia has provoked a storm with his spat with Italian comedian Maurizio Crozza, and Allegri was also asked to comment on that.
“Judging from outside is never easy, it’s been a week where everyone has talked about the post-game, many have ridden on the wave of that, but that’s enough now.
“Now we have to talk little, be quiet, and keep our heads down because we have two objectives to achieve, the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia.
“These things do nothing but waste energy on our part, and right now we need to put all the energy we have on the pitch.
“Off the pitch they can say whatever they want to say, it absolutely shouldn’t affect us because it’s done now. It also doesn’t solve any problems.
“Now the only thing that matters is winning the league and the Coppa Italia, the rest counts for absolutely nothing.
"As far as fines go it's up to the club, they'll take care of it.
"As I said, right now we need to shut up, put our earplugs in and not waste energy with these things.
"Unfortunately life is like that: you say something, we're part of the spectacle and people jump on it. But we don't have to let people keep jumping on these things.
"That's enough, it's been a week since Madrid. It's over. I don't want to hear anything more about it.
"I think he [Benatia] will play tomorrow, because Chiellini will be rested."
Gonzalo Higuain is one booking away from suspension, could he be rested tomorrow in case he misses Napoli?
“I don’t give a damn about the booking,” Allegri shrugged.
“If Higuain is fit he will play tomorrow, because the match to win is tomorrow’s, not the one with Napoli on Sunday or whenever it is, Sunday evening. I don’t even know when we’re playing it.
"He's fine. Yesterday he stopped the last training session before the end, but I don't think it's anything to worry about.
"And if he's fit then he'll play."
