Thunder-Sixers a good game so far.

Good. Let those old sixers legs tire early in the season.

The Sixers bench has 11 of their 111 points, LOL.

[Phantom255x]

And the Sixers will likely lose this. Great starting lineup, trash bench. Also, Simmons might put up numbers but despite all I've heard over the past few years about his "development", I don't really see much improvement. He still can't shoot outside the paint, and in games where he turns the ball over too much he ends up a huge liability. Same thing in crunch time, 4 on 5 when PHI has the ball since teams know Simmons isn't going to shoot long 2s/3s.

Love this. Notice their supporters on here have been eerily quiet. Meanwhile we are 4 games up

Is there a coach lurking in the background that could take that job and do better? I remember hearing about Nurse before Casey got fired. There aren't a lot of veteran coaches that could manage a team like that.

Stan Van Gundy? Jeff Van Gundy? Larry Drew? Dave Joerger?

Guys guys guys!

...we're one loss at Cleveland away from getting to call Philly the 7-6ers.

Those Lakers continue to look pretty dominating with a 10-2 record lol. At this rate, it's gonna be a Lakers/Celtics NBA Finals

They won by the skin of their teeth against the Kings lol, and they've got the better LA team that's sleepwalking the regular season with load management in their conference. Obviously we barely won against the ****tiest Warriors team in the past half decade, but everyone else in the East doesn't look great even without load management.

Just as an aside, the phrase load management sound like a euphemism for power rationing.

sixers lose again. are they they most overrated team in the league this year? 7-5

sure, its early in the season but issues that people had pointed out before the season are creeping in...lack of 3 point shooting and losing reddick has hurt them.

Raptors, bucks, heat and celtics all have better records in the east...

they are truely missing the points of Reddick and Butler .  Those guys were always good for 15-20 a piece most EVERY NIGHT.   Not occassional scorer like scary Terry .   They should have kept those two i stead of Al.

Philly could be a lottery team ...IF. ...Embiid was to miss several months.  Simmons can't carry a team and neither can Al at this point in his career .

I was surprised when the media was gushing how the addition of Al Horford was going to put Philly over the top and conveniently ignored losing Reddick who was pretty much all of their 3 point shooting last year and an allstar in Jimmy Butler. Both of those guys scored 18ppg last year
