Fun to watch. If their defense somehow improves… watch out

Was at Sixers tonight- Simmons got booed but it didn’t feel like a big deal. Have to wonder how different it would’ve been had Embiid played. Loved the ball movement too- Nice change of pace from Harden dribbling at the top of the key.

I saw clips from the game and I was surprised Ben didn't catch more shit.

Probably because of low expectations with everyone out. I thought for sure it was going to be a wash.

He played well enough but then completely disappeared in the 4th- didn’t register a single stat. Glad he’s not our problem anymore

I chalked it up to the low expectations too.

Game was more entertaining than I expected it to be.

Lakers vs Raps tonight, kv!


We have had a bit of a losing streak and a lot of injuries, though we do tend to play better at home. I don't have any predictions, but am hoping some of the Lakers were out partying last night and won't bring their A game tonight. Apparently, NBA players enjoy going out here. Having said that ,I've probably jinxed the game now for my guys. :lol:

Good game the other night with the Cs. I thought we were going to get the W but not enough in the end.

I'd like to think that, but not necessarily. But this team...holy fuck. JT is just 24. Raw talent has been on display for a while, but the maturity level, confidence, and leadership this year are light years from where he was last year. Looking forward to the GS game...first ABC prime time of the season, and then the LA games.

Ahhh, I wished I had seen this...def would've played. I have put up and asked for picks in the past and crickets. Only problem is our thoughts were identical, and that's pretty boring.

I promise I'll chip in participation again next year.

I went 3-5, I'll take it. I always need to take into account the extra fuel a bunch of teams have on Xmas Day games.

Tonight looks like a good one. Mavs on a 7 game win streak taking on Boston in Dallas. You have a couple young superstars.
