Not even close.

The only silver lining to keeping the picks is that you can package them with George to ship him out later on.

Not liking the chances for the 6 seed. The Hawks have no incentive to try in their game against the Pacers and the Bucks suck and won't have Yanni. We need a Muscala-esque miracle.

IDK Bucks will need a win to stay in the 2 spot and Doc will coach them up lol.

Embarrassing really. Are all the Philly"statues" miniature?
Looks like the reveal of a new annual NBA crossover award trophy.


No it's not. All the statues on Legends Walk at the Camden training complex are that size. But the idiot media and morons on social media need something to create clicks, I suppose.

I wonder how much time Embiid misses with this latest knee injury?

Thanks dude! I was in no way trying to be a doom-and-gloom downer, but it's been tough sledding with him over the last ten years and my brain hurts. Rest him against the Nets if necessary, but dammit lets get him for the playoffs.

No worries man, we're basically all expecting these sort of things, so it's nice when it ends up being nothing.

Great article from Mike O'Connor. Get hype ya'll. Im genuinely surprised he doesn't have a more traditional journalism job with the Inquirer, Philly Voice, etc. Dude is an excellent writer, better than Bodner and on par with Kyle Neubeck, with a sprinkle of fandom in his writing.

It's funny he's the exact opposite of Fultz or Bum Simmons.

Killer mentality, high motor/confidence, hard working, team player, great teamate and with a suspect jumpshot that became elite very quick.

It's crazy those hyped 1st picks were so flawed and this kid nobody talked about has it all.

Basketball gods owed us one and gifted us this kid with a late 1st when nobody was looking.

Fine by me, as long as it's cautionary and not something that will drag into the playoffs. If they can't beat a dead man walking Nets team with what they have, why are we even discussing our playoff chances?

Suns give loser Grayson Allen a 4 year extension so we can forget about that nightmare scenario, thank goodness gracious.

We should sit Embiid and tank the Wednesday game to get the Celtics. I don't see a way we lose to Atlanta or Chicago and I want the dragon first. I'm guessing Melton is finished so there's no reason to take an easier path so we will be at full strength later on.

This is as healthy as we will be so let's play them now and see what we are made of. This team can beat them.
