Can't hurt something that is no longer there!

 

[Tince]

One positive: Tonight we'll see all the guys that we've been told would make us better if they could get meaningful minutes and didn't have to look over their shoulder. Watch out 76ers, you're in for a big surprise!

So Embiid is the MVP through the first ~20 games of the season, Harris is shooting the lights out and playing solid D and this is allowing Simmons to do his thing as a swiss army knife. Curry, Green and Korkmaz are lighting it up from three. They have defensive specialists on the bench that can defend 1-3. Good old Dwight Howard is putting in some good work for them off the bench as well. This team is really scary.

I mean I think we can beat these guys... I mean maybe we can beat these guys... I mean there's a chance that we can beat these guys... I mean in certain universes...

I like your Take.....

Tonight's Referees

Tre Maddox (#23)
Dedric Taylor (#21)
Mousa Dagher (#28)

 

[Chris Craig]

This might be worse than the Bucks

 

[THE HCP]

This might be worse than the Bucks

Ironically, it won’t be, watch. Our young guys are going to scratch and claw, hang for awhile. We can still blame Stotts though if we are still in that mode.

I blame biofreeze personally.

I hope so

Melo going for 15/46 FG

Except the entire Bucks roster can shoot the three better than Simmons.

Except the entire Bucks roster can shoot the three better than Simmons.

Unfortunately, they can also shoot them better than Simons on most nights.

 

[tlongII]

At least this won’t be on TNT!

 

[THE HCP]

No Ben Simmons tonight.

 

[Labinot41]

Anfernee on a 20 minutes restriction. His over/under is 18.5 . Should take the under

 

[Scalma]

No Ben Simmons.

Simons only playing 20 minutes. That means Elleby and Trent are gonna be forced to play point guard again. Thanks Neil!

 

[Chris Craig]

No Ben Simmons tonight.

Rodney Hood brought the ball up last game to spell Dame quite a bit....Stotts might use him the way he did Evan Turner or Batum back in the day and let him direct traffic

 

[riverman]

I blame biofreeze personally.

I think you're onto something....nothing says defense like some biofreeze on the nuts...that'll put some bounce in the step

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yeah, I think I might skip this one:

 

[BlazerBeav]

 

[wizenheimer]

this game is looking like a race to the bottom of each roster

 

[Cugel]

I predict a career high for Blevins.

 

[twobullz]

I predict a career high for Blevins.

For Minutes? Foul's or turnover's? I am guessing at least two

 

[Serbian]

Wounded tiger theory!!! It worked vs kings in last game of season and victory gave us okc in playoffs.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I predict a career high for Blevins.

Hopefully he gets some Bolt24!

 

[illmatic99]

i dunno, this should be fun. kinda like a summer league game, with no pressure. Sucks that Ant and Nas are hurt though

Best bench in the NBA!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I predict a double digit Blazers win

 

[Titan]

So no true point guard tonight, this game is going to be fun for the sixers
