Oh okay, my bad :p

But yeah, Pop is the best coach of all time, no doubt about it.

I hope you’re right, considering how good Simmons and Embiid have been, that must mean Fultz will turn into an all time great :D
I think he gives you guys the ability to stretch the floor more. Takes playmaking pressure of of Simmons. Adds another outside shot. It's hard to tell if Simmons will develop an outside shot beyond what already has so Fultz being there gives him a good outlet.

Obviously not a big difference this year, but next season and beyond should be fun..

I'm rooting for Philly to take the whole fucking thing.

The whole thing. Everything. Not a single crumb for anyone else.

I predicted they would be third in the conference this year, and they can still do that, and now I am predicting a championship. As long as Embiid is healthy. They have depth, shooting, height, athleticism, and apparently the Lakers draft pick this year, so fuck it.

Go Philly

You predicting a championship? :rofl:



They good tho, can grow into something special with max FA coming in this summer or next.


Like their defensive style and old school drive and kick out approach. Simmons is a beast.


But they will go out in playoffs quickly if Embiid doesnt come back.

Yes I am. At least to get to the finals.

There is no team in the east that has their combination of size, athleticism, depth and shooting.


Before the picked up Bellinelli and Ilyasova, I was not convinced.

Now I am. And Embiid will be back.

Nah man slow down, dynamic HOF level 2 young studs and few potential allstars or good role players who are all young-ish (oldest is Covington at 27), but man man slow the heck down. Its too soon to talk like this, they just started to get used to winning games consistently.


Lebron will still be in their way, and this current more seasoned Raptors (tho not as much individual talent), and a well oiled Celtics even if they completely hampered by injuries, they got Brad Stevens winning organisation.

It's good to see people talking about Philly as even being challengers. I've watched basketball for about 25 years and they've had one deep season (Iverson Sixers). In fact I was born the year they last won a championship.

Saying that, I'll probably be sitting here in another 25 years waiting for the Jazz to be relevant again.

The road to the Finals for the 76ers just got a little smoother.

Kyrie is out for the rest of the regular season and playoffs.

It's going to happen

Haha I been playing with 76ers in 2k18 for 3 seasons in a row on hardest difficulty, first season 2nd round but latter 2 champions baby :D I didnt realize how well this team aquired picks from others, I could re-tool the squad easily with trades/ and FA's with huge cap space available. Went for Paul George as final piece instead of Lebron, who IMO is more likely in real life (tho it will be silly trying to fit Lebron with team play and Simmons).

Most fun playing with them, ABSOLUTELY BULLYING opponent guards with Simmons lol, just post them up and bulldoze. Or kick out.


Shortest player I have on my starting 5 is 6'8 :lol: (I use Fultz as goat level 6th man).



Most shocking of all. Dumbass Knicks gave me Porzingiz in 3rd season :lol: Gave them 2 good rotation players and like 2-3 picks.



This was my face when they accepted my very random no hope trade:

Nah. The east goes through Lebron. There's not a snowball's chance in hell the Sixers beat a healthy Lebron in a playoff series this year. They are at least a year away from challenging the Cavs.

And if the Cavs keep Lebron and hit a home-run in the draft with that Brooklyn pick (either a top young PG, or a top big man), the Sixers will be even further from beating Lebron next year.
