Right now both of these teams are 3 point shooting team. OKC looks like there out of rythem right now and it looks like Anthony going to get his shots and when Westbrook comes back I believe George won't put up the offense stats like he has in the past. As bad as OKC play they are still still in the game it just till me Houston will look good sometime on defense and then go back as usual just bad on that end.

Hey man, I wasn't trying to call you out. But I'm pretty you're misunderstanding here.

That one word changes the whole context. I stand corrected. My bad. Rook....

I think so. Batum aint playing PF.

He could play a stretch PF for short periods of time. In today's game small ball is in.

Small ball is in but skinny ball isn't.

Ben Simmons is the real deal, and if Embiid can stay healty, with Fultz in the mix... I think theyll become champions through draft, just like GSW... potential dinasty there, calling it now

And here we are middling around the 8th seed.

 

[Scalma]

I like Philly too, but don't go ordering your championship gear for a while...

 

[H.C.]

Is Embiid cleared to participate in 5 on 5 drills yet?

Half court

 

[H.C.]

Half court

So at the very least the guy isn't going to play in second night of back to backs and prolly have a minutes restriction.
Philly better hope no ankle sprains nor jones fractures happen again if they want a chance at the 8th seed in the East.

Can we hold back on the 'championship' talk until we actually see Embiid healthy for idk 32 games?

 

[BigGameDamian]

It will be fun watching Emeka and Jahlil Okafor on the same team together.

That’s what’s funny about this place. It’s always ALL or NOTHING. I’ve havent watched tonight’s philly game yet, but I DO know Simmons is a rare talent. Excited to watch him and Fultz play together. Anything they get from Embid is gravy. Wouldn’t want to be their GM dealing with him

I too am excited about Folkes and Embid.

Haha

Wade, Butler, and Rondo out with no suitable replacements. Lost by 47 tonight. Are they going to be one of the worst teams of all time?

I think it will come down to Bulls, Pacers, Orlando and Atlanta for worst record this year.

Dont sleep on sixers. I know they have 45 lottery picks on their roster but they always manage to fuck up.

 

[tlongII]

They aren’t as bad as the Lakers.

 

[THE HCP]

I'll post this but it will be invisible to the guy who started the thread........ I think the east is going to be historically bad this year. I think Brooklyn is going to be horrible as well. Add them to that list.

What? The Lake Show actually has some talent on that squad. Probably a 30 win team out west.

I forgot about them. Knicks will be awful as well.

Oh so at least YOU can see my posts, that makes me feel better.

You're just lucky that I don't believe in the ignore function.

Pacers will surprise people I think. They have a MUCH better roster than the Bulls.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think Knicks will improve this year.

 

[theprunetang]

I think Knicks will improve this year.

They might be better than last year, but they are still going to suck.

 

[Sarni]

They do. Collison is a fairly decent point guard, Bogdanovic is good too, Myles Turner is a great talent and Oladipo is also good. Still a bad team but not quite the level of Bulls terrible.

Hawks and Bulls are the worst teams in the East personnel wise but that conference has some truly brutal teams. Even those dreadful teams could potentially make playoffs because of how little quality there is. Basically the only good teams are Cleveland, Boston, Toronto, Washington and Milwaukee, maybe Miami.
