Should be a good game. Hopefully we catch them before they have time to gel. I expect to see a lot of OG on Maxey so I can see our other guys stepping up.

I don't buy the trade was good for both teams nonsense it was a wheel spinning trade for both teams at best. Ny has beaten two teams since that they would have beaten with Barrett and quickly anyway. This should be a fairly easy win nothing scary on that team and hartenstein versus Embiid is a complete mismatch.

OG is a better defender but I must have missed all the defensive accolades he has earned lol. Ny has beaten two teams since that they would have beaten with Barrett and quickly anyway.

Hopefully OG brought over whatever causes Maxey to always destroy the raptors

No Melton for Brunson is annoying, wouldn’t surprise me if Beverley played more than normal.

True. We're probably also gonna see some Springer on Brunson.

Exactly Springer has 5 fouls let him use them on Brunson.

After this game, Daryl Morey is going to decide that we need to trade for Dejounte Murray. Now I don't know what that means, but I like it because it's scary. It's a great idea! I bet Jalen Brunson has some great ideas too. He's probably my favorite point guard in the game. The guy really has a full sized cranium packed with basketball knowledge. Stopping him is going to be very difficult. I don't see how he doesn't just straight-up cook us tonight. This game is going to be fun tonight! Friday night with the Knicks! Been waiting for this one for a while. Hopefully we straight up whoop them, but I'll settle for a win.

I want to be all in on Murray but I just can't see him working with Maxey and Jo. His defense is fugazi and his deep shooting is trash.

My man hit the ankle theatrics at minute one.

man needs to wear an ankle brace or gtfo out of those UAs lol

something I've noticed

Maxey kinda sucks on mid range jumpers it feels like...

I'd die for Kelly

Kelly Oubre is a WINNING PLAYER

don't like that Nurse uses Batum as a POA defender on guards...feels like that is more exploitable than one would think, no?

Always has felt like that. He can gets to the elbow at will but he always seems to brick it.
