I realize it's one game, but his court vision is something else. All this and he can't shoot Js.
 
Embid....18/13/3 in only 26 minutes. Philly is going to be a blast to watch play this year. 60 loses, but still fun.

He is very unique and is a very talented player. He really needs to become at least a threat from 3 though if he is to ever take the next step into superstardom. Fun to watch though. And Embiid could be the best player in the league of his body will only allow it. That kid is special.

Who else thinks Earl Watson will be the first coach to be fired? I felt embarrassed for the Suns today. They made us look like the fucking Warriors out there.

Man I hope not. I don't know how they think they can win here. So young, it's not Coach Earl's fault.

I get that. But that team straight gave up. Losses are going to happen with any team, but completely giving up on opening night in front of fans who have waited months to pay to watch you? Maybe it's not all his fault, but someone has to take the blame for that. It looked like an NBA team playing a college team. I think Maccabi was a more legit opponent in pre-season.

I disagree on the losses. They do play in the East, after all. In the unlikely event Embiid doesn't get injured, then they make the playoffs.

Simmons......18/10/5/

6'11" point guard...... this guys will be special.

I thought he'd just be Lamar Odom, but he's the closest thing to Magic since Magic. I never thought they'd actually PLAY him at PG - but they are, and he's just bullying people.

Sixers are awesome. Even Luwawu-Cabarrot is finally contributing. And they've got a really talented Turkish kid who won't even get any PT before the All-Star break.

I see that Bayless is doing his standard beginning-of-the-season "hey he's finally living up to his potential". He did the same thing last year.
 
Antetokounmpo, though. Jee-sus.



What with him, Gobert and Schröder, the 2013 draft Euros showed out last night.
 
The good news for fans of Eastern Conference teams, just about any of them could make the playoffs since there's only Toronto, Washington, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Boston that are any semblance of good. That leaves 3 spots for the others to fight for.
 
Don't Lin get hurt every year with a big contract but I feel sorry for him.
 
What the hell is wrong with Fultz shooting form? It was fine in college and looks very weird now. His free throw shooting looks like a 5-year old trying to play basketball.

He hurt is shoulder and tries to compensate for the pain.
