HOODIE!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Elleby's form is just...wow

 

[riverman]

ANT!

 

[Mr. Robot]

just shoot that floater, ant

given its a floater, is it "shoot" or "throw" or both

 

[rotary111]

I gotta admit, I'm a big Elleby fan.

My youngest graduated from WSU.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

We should be double teaming Embiid on every catch

 

[Chris Craig]

Simons says

 

[riverman]

Something tells me we slipped through the scouting report! Now we're cookin'!

 

[Mr. Robot]

cj elleby desperately needs to do something with his hair

 

[riverman]

given its a floater, is it "shoot" or "throw" or both

shoot is the term...

 

[illmatic99]

this is fool's gold right?

 

[illmatic99]

We should be double teaming Embiid on every catch

why? let him shoot all the open midrange shots he wants. it's not hurting us. rather stay home on shooters

 

[James lamphear]

We are making shots right is the good thing. Only player hurting us right is embiid.

 

[julius]

english is not my first language, so i need to put a real effort to understand what you wrote lol

im pretty sure you couldve write it in a much more simple way

It's easier to like Kanter.

 

[illmatic99]

given its a floater, is it "shoot" or "throw" or both

shoot

 

[wizenheimer]

I've seen this movie before: the 'better' teams knows they should win and they come into the game without max effort letting the other team get going and giving that team confidence. Blazers have a real chance to win this game if they just don't have a 6 minute stretch of brick after brick

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

We should be double teaming Embiid on every catch

at least on some of them; mix it up!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

why? let him shoot all the open midrange shots he wants. it's not hurting us. rather stay home on shooters

He's the only one hurting us...their shooters haven't made a shot yet

 

[wizenheimer]

It's easier to like Kanter.

you're hired...you can interpret my English as a first language

 

[illmatic99]

He's the only one hurting us...their shooters haven't made a shot yet

maybe cuz we're staying home with them? let embiid shoot his 15 foot shot.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Thats not a foul

 

[Mr. Robot]

shoot is the term...

floater is not a "classic" shot, so thats way i use the term "throw", cause youre not shooting the ball, youre throwing the ball

same way, layup is not a "shot", although it qualifies as a shot, just like dunk or floater

 

[TBpup]

Love seeing the scrap and hustle of the M*A*S*H unit tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

pointless double team of embiid there. let him open from 15. i dont want us getting in foul trouble here

 

[B-Roy]

Elleby is feisty.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Again, no foul! Could have called a jump ball.

 

[Mr. Robot]

man, id really like to see little now that we have injuries

its sucks that hes out too

 

[B-Roy]

Embiid looks like he's double Giles size.

 

[riverman]

RODNEY!

 

[illmatic99]

embiid right now reminds me of us back in the day with zach randolph. all the stats he wants, but 0 impact on the scoreboard. it's taking them out of their offense even if he hits more than half their shots

 

[illmatic99]

that wasn't moving
