DLo is gonna go off for 60 but won't make a shot in the following 2 games.

I am still waiting for a full expose on what the gently caress happened with DLo. When they traded for Gobert, every third media story was about how good the trade was for DLo since he finally had a pick and roll partner but in reality he apparently hated Gobert so much he tried to make him quit.

It'll be a decade before someone casually drops the story on a podcast and I hope it's more interesting than "Rudy demanded DLo play defense and DLo couldn't abide being told to play defense"

I don’t think that’s gonna be the story. there was a whole video the previous year about how DLo was quarterbacking the Minnesota defense. he’s at least a dude who attempts team defense, he’s in the right places, he’s just an awful individual defender

Harden hypnotizing people with his beard and making them fall on their rear end with crossovers is fun what are you talking about

All ft merchant play is annoying though I agree (except when a dude is faked out so much that they freak and jump into the guy that's just solid play)

I hung out with my wife's old college roommate last weekend and he is currently seeing a dancer from Philly who apparently has interacted with Harden many times in the club. She said he is very quiet and distant and refuses to look the girls in the eye. Pays well though.

This is apropos of nothing, just reminded me that I forgot to post about that thus far.

Embiid playing less than 65 games means the 76ers probably fall to 5th or 6th with how the Pacers, Cavs, and Knicks are looking so idk
