Signing and then losing Cousins was a big blow.

Kuzma said he’d been working on his ball-handling all offseason and we’ll see it much improved, but who knows there.

Rondo will help with ball-handling but he’s a mess as far as shooting and D go. Definitely some big flaws in this team.

would be nice to see Danny green be a little more aggressive. For a guy who shoots close to 50% from three for his career, he’s gotta do more than 6 shots a game

@Osman

yooo did you see that Embiid KAT fight??? Lmao, Fuckkk I coulda been there!

Steph Curry broke his left hand and might actually be done for the season.

 

[ALC]

Jesus, I feel so bad for Steph! That’s terrible.

I still think The Clippers are the best team in the West. They way they play defense is beyond any other team, especially when they get PG13 back. I'm not sold on the Lakers - they'll definitely make the conference Semis, but I don't see them beating the Clippers in a 7 game series. Kawhi is the best player in the league right now.

As for the East, if Philly can stay focused and get some 3 point shooting consistency from their bench, they should be unstoppable, even for Giannis and The Bucks. I still don't understand why people rate Boston - Hayward Kemba and a bunch of young guys isn't going to scare anybody.

Whatever happened to a 7 foot big man contesting a shot instead of sliding over to take a charge on a 6' 3" point guard.

Shaq, Hakeem, The Admiral would have swatted that shit into the luxury boxes.

Imagine Shaq wanting to take a charge from a 185lb Steph Curry

Towns made the whole team go to the famous Rocky steps with the eye of the tiger music booming in boombox pre-game, so I knew things could get amped and heated And Embiid is such a clown He really thinks he is some kind of tough guy, going all Apollo Creed showman with the crowd. Your lips is bleeding even tho you started the shoving, get your ass off the court lol.


But it must been awesome to be there in person lol. Kat and Embiid have legit rivalry now, its no longer banter. Some of these guys are friendly too, so its funny, Embiid is close friends with Wiggins (college mates), and Kat is good friends with Simmons. Simmons was all up on Kat to diffuse things, almost had a choke hold LOL.

Agree about the Clippers, they look like the better team so far. Lebron AD is the more dominant duo but the surrouding cast for the Clippers is better and deeper. It will take a monster effort from James and AD to take them in a series, that or to strengthen the team in a trade/in the buyout market. As for Kawhi being the best, while it looks like it currently, we should wait for James in the playoffs. We havent had the chance to see if hes still his old self after the injury there.

Kawhi was outperformed Lebron in the playoffs in the past so unless Bron has gotten better, it’s not really a question.

and KAT’s mom flipped Embiid off lol, I’m loving it.

 

[Osman]

Embiid is seriously the biggiest manchild in sports, he is all about social media coonery its ridicolous, he wouldnt say any of that shit in person.


You know that gossipy highschool childish comment he is claiming Kat deleted? Well he deleted it himself The guy who runs Kats IG showed that not a single comment has been deleted in their instagram for 3 years. Embiid litterally made that comment, took picture, and deleted it, all within seconds, and then blame Kat for it how pathetic



Embiid is likely to get BIGGER fine for his embarrassing social media stuff (he is full on off the rails all day, someone in Philly front office need to change his password lol) then for the fight itself. Even if he kinda started it (plus attempted eye gouge), and the NBA wont like the optics of that he was egging on the crowd throughout it all.

 

[ALC]

He’s keeping the league entertaining. I love his antics. The fact he can back it up is the best part about it.

I think they’ll get a game each.

 

[Osman]

There is no such thing as backing up immaturity my man. He needs to grow up for real. His manchild mentality is half the reason is why Philly were kicked out from the playoffs he allways brags about making. Cant even dedicated enough to not allways eat trash food that makes him sick to play games.

 

[ALC]

Immaturity and trash talk are different things.

pretty sure he’s sticking to a healthier diet this season. I hope he keeps up the shit talking tho. Some players like Westbrook and KAT take it so seriously, it’s fun to watch

 

[Nomuken]

PHILA gonna take the east this year

Now the west...is pretty complicated on the other hand

- - - Updated - - -

I got to see To see Jamie Butler, Embiid, and Ben Simmons in person. Was unreal courtside seats at staples center, against the clippers. Somehting I’ll never forget.

@ALC


@Osman saw YG there in one of em

The last we have seen from James is still arguably the best player in the league, with Durant. How far/close he is to that level is still unknown though, atleast until May, which is why im reserved about giving the torch to Kawhi yet

 

[Osman]

Nomuken, when was that game?


And YG is a cornball. I see DJ Mustard next to him tho lol.

 

[MikeM]

Guys, the best player is Siakam
