That will turn into DJB because it will happen so much it will need a shorthand!
JJ starting at the 3? And Covington at the 4? :oIt’s really Fultz at the 1, JJ at the 2, RoCo at the 3, Simmons at 4, and Holmes at 5. They just have Simmons run the offense so they like the call him the point guard.
Emeka Okafor coming out of retirement, FlCelts? Very funny.

It would seem to me it would make more sense to start Morris over Baynes in this on if he's back. Also I doubt Irving will be covering Simmons. Just because he's nominally the point guard doesn't mean we have to guard him with our point guard.
"A guy who did a great job last year was Jaylen Brown," Redick told Kennedy. "Avery (Bradley) was hurt the first time we played them, so Jaylen guarded me in Boston, and he just did a great job of sticking with me. He has the length, he's strong, and he's athletic."
ugh .....watch Fultz go for 30 and put me in a funk.

At least we'll get to see Simmons
I can only see a box score. But Simmons shooting seems to be as bad as advertised. I hope so. ;DHis shooting is pretty bad, but his speed and vision are incredible.
tatum looks awesome.

I don't know how long brown will start...hes not showing me much. but we have a lot of firepower on the starting line up.
Tatum > Brown.
Isn't even going to be close.

Okay, we may need to slow down. I love Tatum, but the guy isn't all star level anything. YET.
Calling it right now - Smart is having a breakout year. He looks so much better than last year already. His offense is much more dynamic.

If you are saying he is good enough to be an all star at nineteen, you are very wrong. If you are saying he could be an all star one day, you are very right.

Okay, what in the world is with Philly hitting all of these threes? They're not like wide open threes either...

Ya he may have missed that layup at the rim but you can see increased explosiveness. We talk a lot about the shooting, but even if that doesn't improve being able to get to the rim would help ALOT.
Did anyone hear Goodman on Mannix's podcast talk about being worried Smart wouldn't be able to guard 3's anymore because he lost weight? lol

I'm saying the latter. Although if you put him on the Nets, he'd have the ability to be an all star at 19
I love this team!

Smart won't be covering 3's much this season so its not really much of a problem.
I love this team!
Yeah, I'm already enjoying this team much more than last year's iteration. I still wish we had AB, who would be a phenomenal fit next to Kyrie, but you can tell the ceiling of this team is just so much higher than last year's team.
Sixers playing their A game, still losing.
I love this team!
Hayward is great , even when he is not scoring. Great IQ.

I don't see it being a problem at all. Smart got rid of fat not muscle.

To be fair they are playing without Embiid or Fultz. of course given that Embiid seems to be a made of tissue paper that might be the case a lot this year.
I missed complaining about Rozier's lobs.Rozier is a disaster around the rim.
Anyway, Hayward and Smart have looked good thus far. As has Baynes.
Omg, get it off Saric's ugly mug and back on the game!

Ya, and rookies very rarely do. Especially rookie PG's who change their shot for no apparent reason during the offseason.

I like Rozier, but he just doesn't seem to have a very good BBIQ.
Tatum is going to get a lot of wide open looks if he plays much with GH and KI and the starters

Well that assumes that he actually gets to take shots with those two on the floor.
Atta boy, Kyrie! More of that from you.
Woah, what a move by Rozier!
Our defense has been pretty terrible. Lots of miscommunication, which is expected at this point.

They aren't getting layups. Just hitting a bunch of junk shots.
Brown quietly having a pretty good 1/2.
sixers 9-17 from 3. They look very talented to me. With Simmons, Embiid and Fultz Sixers will eventually be a force. Will make some noise this year I think.

Okay now that Justin Anderson shot was ridiculous.
Smart's so aware on defense its crazyIt's incredible. He makes the entire unit better. His anticipation is the best I've seen.

Yeah, Smart with some really good D before that prayer.

Your first two sentences are non sequitor. none of the three players you mention have made a three pointer tonight.
Philly really hitting 3's at a rate that is keeping them in the game.
I'd like to see a Kyrie and Hayward blend better on offense.
Hey guys! Been out so just tuning in now. How's it look for the C's?Thread says it all. So far, this team dos not struggle to score, as they often did last year. Not playing cohesively yet, but the potential is there.
Even if it's preseason, still really hope it goes better for them than it did the Red Sox.. :'(

Yep. Timing in our half court sets is not good. To be expected. We're not getting anything easy. Credit to the Sixers who are scrappy. No more easy wins win Philly. Nice vet additions they made.Philly really hitting 3's at a rate that is keeping them in the game.

Yeah KI and GH might take a bit to gel completely. We look a bit out of sorts on our plays right now and it is too be expected. Eventually Brown is going to be seeing a lot of open shots from everyone trying to watch KI and GH.
Smart looked great in first half.
Hayward starting to get comfortable. What a great passer.
Brown starting to get more involved. He can take anyone in single coverage.
Kyrie struggling.
Thanks all! TP's to all that responded! ;D
Is Kyrie struggling a lot or just a little?

Okay, that's good.
I'm dubious of Jaylen starting with this roster. His awareness and decision-making isn't there. He's a freak athlete and attacks with the ball nicely, but not really what we need with Kyrie and Hayward. I do like Smart with the 2nd unit though. Interested to see what Brad does.
Wow, Simmons' shot is broken. His feet weren't even pointing toward the basket on those free throws.
Hack a Simmons will be a thing...
Hmmm. I see it the other way around -- I actually like Brown with the ball in his hands. I like him creating offense for himself. I like an intangibles guy more with all the talent we have. I get your point tho.I'm dubious of Jaylen starting with this roster. His awareness and decision-making isn't there.

I think that's exactly why you start Brown with those guys. he doesn't have to make decisions or handle the ball with Irving, Hayward or horfrod on the floor. Shoot from the corners, defend the wing, and attack close outs.
Baynes looks like Shaq out there.
Long term I think you're right, he's gonna be a guy who can make his own offense, he already has some decent dribble moves but he needs to really tighten up his handle especially moving through traffic. For now I think he'll be more efficient just letting the game come to him playing with the starters. But starter or reserve I'm fine as long as he gets minutes.Hmmm.

Send Smart the Brinks truck
Lol the 76ers are shooting 56% from 3, 50% from free throw ::)
Dancing Bear!
Uh, yeah, that needs to be a flagrant 2. That was extremely dangerous by Okafor. Surprised Yabu didn't go flying, which is probably due to him being a tank himself.
Nader got clobbered on that play. cmon refs blow the whistle!

Semi is not as athletic as advertised. That's where the term "game hops" come from.
3rd unit playing a like scrub team right now.Too many inexperienced guys.
Why the sixer fans booing Hump?
I've been pretty impressed with Larkin so far. He has a nice BBIQ and good ballhandling and passing abilities. He could challenge Rozier for his minutes this season.

I like what Baynes and Theis add.
Morris should help too.
