scope Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So of course after we make fun of him Embiid absolutely slaughters. Sixers don't look so bad for once if he can stay on the court, Simmons seems like the future there to me, great decision making for a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaBarney Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) The Lakers vs 76ers game a few days ago was a lot of fun. Multiple career highs, a lot of young guys unexpectedly looking like monsters. Ingram looked as good as people say he will one day be. I don't care about Lonzo one way or the other but just because of his dad I'm hoping all the Balls are busts. It would just be so funny. Even if Lonzo never becomes a decent shooter though, he seems to be at worst a Rubio-type PG as far as passing and making great plays and solid rebounding/defense which is pretty damn good if that's his ceiling, but that would still throw cold piss all over his dad's hype machine so that's cool.

NaBarney Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Watching Philadelphia vs Warriors and I really hope Philadelphia makes the Finals as soon as possible. This year even seems almost doable. Legendary first half against the warriors, all of their players look like gold and they'll be adding Fultz at some point. Embiid would get Draymond thrown out and suspended at some point in a playoff series and it would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Sixers are much improved now, I don't think finals this year but I could see it down the road, plus they're fun to watch. Simmons is the classic PG, doesn't turn the ball over or make flashy plays, so efficient and Embiid is a swiss army knife 7 footer when he's healthy....so much more enjoyable to watch than guys just jackin 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them immediately going on a 12 game winning streak with no point guard does make that take look horrible but if they don't make any significant trade then yeah, I still think it's going to go bad. I just really hate almost their entire roster. They are the oldest team in the NBA, although the title winning Heat teams were also really old. If they make it to the Finals this year with this group I'm not even going to give them any shit about it being ceremonial for LeBron like it has been the last several years, thats going to be a legitimate feat for a change. The east got better and they got worse. Also I just looked at the last 12 teams they beat to make sense of this streak. The only two western conference teams = the Clippers and Grizzlies while both of those teams were in the midst of 10 game losing streaks, and the only eastern conference teams that are likely to make the playoffs = the 76ers and the Pistons (and the Heat and Knicks...) So they beat four possible playoff non-contenders plus eight wins over teams that have been losing badly. They deserve some credit for winning consistently and not losing to the young Sixers I guess, but even for an EC team that's an easy stretch.

You mean Jeannie Buss, our owner? I thought the whole production was over-the-top. Everything about Kobe, even his retirement ceremony, feels calculated. They even had a five minute animated movie before the ceremony started that was just insane. Plus, the entire game had four or five of those Kobe x Lebron Nike puppet ads where Kobe goes on and on bragging to a mostly bemused Lebron.

NaBarney Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Really I was going to laugh no matter what the Cavs did, they were just so desperate and toxic. I do like the young Lakers they got and am surprised they turned so many terrible players into decent ones but idk how big a difference it's really going to make. Getting through their conference seems more likely than it did a week ago (Raptors are currently on top of the east lol) but man this thrown together team better not make the finals again, ready to see just any new matchup at this point.

NaBarney Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Dying to see 76ers and Cavs match up in the first round and Philly advance, just the most stressful and dramatic way possible to end LeBron's last season in Cleveland. I am 100% in on this Philly team, how can you not be? Fire breathing Finals Embiid is too good to let the Raptors stand in the way Idk what's wrong with Kawhi but quietly expecting the spurs to miss the playoffs entirely at this point Memphis doing an excellent job at losing every possible game down the stretch, cue Chandler Parsons yelling like Paul Pierce "this is why they brought me here!" Anthony Davis needs to make the playoffs again, losing out on the 8th seed to the Clippers or Jazz would be way way too sad. Hope the Rockets finish with the top seed and Harden wins MVP, will make it that much funnier when they don't make the WCF in totally bizarre fashion.
