If Philly squeezed out that game 7 win against Toronto last year, I think they go the rest of the way. I don't understand this "You can't play Simmons and Embiid Together" thing.

They tried to address the Simmons/Embiid spacing issues by bringing in Al Horford to play the 4 and moving Tobias Harris to the 3. If that didn't work, what will?

Seriously most of the Sixers issues magically go away as soon as they can admit they gave $109 million to a backup center. We're not yet sure if that will require a coaching change.

I thought them signing Horford was real dumb, but then got sucked in by lots of analysts saying it could work and their hot start, but now I am back to saying it was real dumb. if they beat the Bucks with Horford as the Giannis stopper I will flipflop again, I'm not too proud

Horford isn’t the main stopper. If giannis hits 30% plus from 3 it’s doesn’t matter lamo

just to make sure that i'm watching this correctly: he passes the ball to himself by applying back spin and fakes the bounce pass, then drains a 3?

Which was the dumber roster construction conceptually? This year's Sixers or last year's Magic decided Lebron James shouldn't have shooters Lakers?

Hm, looks like this Masai guy is an unemployable criminal, guess the other teams can gently caress off and stop trying to poach him from Toronto.
