Joel Embiid went to high school in Gainesville, FL.

I graduated from high school in Gainesville, FL.

So basically, we know eachother.

The Sixers have won 3 in a row and 5 out of their last 6 games.


Over that stretch of six games, Jahlil Okafor has only played 10 minutes. I can't even imagine what value he has anymore.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Andrew Johnson put out his midseason player ttracking plus minus, and the guy I said was good, Isaiah Whitehead, because he's the Nets starting pg is actually the worst player in the league not named Marquesse Chriss. I still think he could be a solid backup in the future.

Check it out, I prefer its conclusions to BAPM and rpm in a lot of cases
http://fansided.com/2017/01/11/nylon-calculus-pt-pm-halfway-nba-season. Manu continues to have freakishly high defensive plus minus stats because he generates turnovers and flops around.

Al farouq aminu is the draymond esque transmission of the blazers, when he's healthy they're the scrappy team that can win any night. When he's wounded,they're hopefuless

An interesting thing to me, is that it seems pretty possible to still be a good offensive player on an overall bad offensive team, but it's almost impossible to be a good defender on a team that's bad defensively as a whole.

i don't want to be "that guy" but how is that not a travel? there's like 3-4 steps in there after the gather.

i think he's cool and his highlights are awesome, but it looked like a pretty naked travel to me.

nah it's just two. he's taking steps during the gather, but after he has officially picked up his dribble it's only two steps. Either way it's fluid enough that it'd likely not be called
