I wish Olynyk were playing.  I think he has a huge opportunity to make a big step this season.

I agree. I think having Oly out there with that second unit would take a big out of the paint. Since that second unit has so many drivers, it could only help. Maybe replace zeller, and drag that center out.

He looked like he was going to break through last year at times but got hurt.  He is on the bradley path or something.

You gotta hope the only reason Zeller is playing is b/c Olynyk is out.

Thanks guys, TPs for the updates.  Can't believe basketball has (sort of) already started!

No Amir or Al in the second half

I hope so. I've never seen such a big ballhog with such little skill. It wouldn't surprise me if he shot the ball over 80% the time that he touched it.

Halftime now but from what little I saw (parts of 1st and 2nd qtr only), Embiid looking good for his first game. Definitely some rookie mistakes though but that'll clean up.

I'm hoping Jaylen bounces back in the 2nd half. Our starters though are looking real legit. The Horford acquisition looks to be a terrific one (just bears repeating ).

[LarBrd33]

Is it wrong for me to actually not be impressed by Embiid.

Yes. Give him a chance, hasn't played in 3 years.

once again, I am not unimpressed by Embiid. He looks fine. Im just not impressed by the guy. He hit a long two and was large.

Were you "impressed" by Jaylen?  He did much less than Embiid or Saric.

[walker834]

Crowder is a monster defensively when he is healthy. 

[walker834]

Nerlens is not changing my mind.  Also like that smart is the first guy off the bench.  We have Zizic coming though and he is going to be good.

[tarheelsxxiii]

Just want to say that I 100% support Joel Embiid's transparent push to have his nickname be "The Process". 



I expect a rough game from "The Process" tonight, but I can't wait to see how he develops over the course of the season... assuming his foot doesn't fall off in 5 minutes tonight.

This is borderline legendary. Sign me up as a huge fan.

bradley has missed 3 in a row..

[walker834]

james Young might change peoples minds.
