they have a solid record and i am sure they will somehow trade me, my cat and a bag of trash for a star like always

Won't make up for the 30-50 combined games Lebron and AD will almost certainly miss this season

You know we're having a good night when Morris is on a heater.

6th man of the year, Marcus Morris.

On the positive, we should be taking this many 3s more often.

On the negative, i'm sure Nurse is excited now about playing Morris more often

we will see if this is truly a new sixers team because this is the type of game is tied in the 4th in past seasons

The the washed are having a good game so far that's cool. Is Springer still sick? And when will Oubre be back?

So...why are the Lakers starting Dlo ahead os Reaves?

Morris isn’t as washed as I thought. Not expecting this every game by any means, but certainly could be worse 10-12 min rotation guys. Him and Batum can certainly give us a combined more productive 32 mins than we ever got out of PJ at the PF spot.

Those last few possessions before the half... Docs spirit still visits this team at times

Yeah unbelievable.
Almost perfect first half and stupid finish as usual

being that guy

playing terrible defense...need to lock in because the 3s won't keep falling

Yeah, both Batum and Morris have been horrible on defense. Too many miss rotations.

Still, you just need to pack the paint against them, they're horrible from 3

I liked the stretches of the first quarter where Tobias/Cov were guarding AD and Joel was helping

With the defenses that's been thrown at him lately. Christie is kind of lightwork.

Yea and apparently the Lakers have good 3rd quarters. I expect a push by them we need tighter defense.They are going to try to get Embiid in more foul trouble.
