I know . But he played fine against hou and they have been coming up with creative excuses for okafor and Holmes too.

Yeah it's either Koufus the Doofus or WCS, both of whom are completely vestigial as part of Cousins' playstyle

So long as Embiid plays in the next Sixers game I'm going to (Knicks, by the way Sixers, if you're listening) I'm down with benching him and playing Okafor for some guarenteed L's. It's been very exciting to win and all but let's not get carried away. This team needs another high draft pick

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.

He is unbelievable. Yet they still lost because the guards on his team are all loving garbage. What a waste of his performance.



Also Robert Covington had an awful start to the year but he's starting to get that three point percentage to start creeping back up. If he gets back to the 35% career percentage he's had from 3 combined with his fantastic defense he will be a very good role player in the league.

He had a very weird and compressed career arc. Won a starting spot for being a gritty hustle defender in his rookie year, went from constant pump fakes while open to being a respectable third option scorer who didn't play defense, is now an old and broken twitter punching bag at the age of 28

D'Antoni is my vote for coach of the year up to this point but Brett Brown is right after him. Great job developing the young guys and getting a team that most thought was total trash to have a pretty great stretch of basketball.

It's crazy how much the the city is suddenly actually giving a poo poo about the Sixers again.

I mean their roster is a mess, but I'm never a fan of a coach that haphazardly changes rotations on a daily basis.
