“I don’t know,” Embiid said, shrugging. “Sixers fans, they want to trade me.”

Sac was on the fourth game of a six game eastern road trip and all the teams they're playing are over .500 (until the Pistons for the 6th). Kings pulled off a solid upset in Cleveland. Sabonis is great, clearly the third best center after Jokic and Embiid. The Kings aren't bad the Sixers are just healthy and really good right now

Enjoy your W, you earned it. Drop the hater mentality!

That being said the Kings defense is a joke. How do you give up 15 points to Thybulle on efficient shooting? lmao

How do you watch the Kings and your first take after their center is the only guy with a good or efficient game that their biggest problem is that "they have no center"

I wasn't watching last night because I've had a hell of a week and last night I just smoked weed and watched speedruns, but I'm glad to see everything ended up okay and Tatum had a good game again :)

I legitimately think that the Warriors specifically psyche him out because he played like poo poo the past two games, and if both he and Jaylen have a bad or mid game simultaneously the Celtics will not win

I’m close to agreeing NOP is the second Good Team in the West, but I’m very unsure about their center position.

they are a team to watch tho

Beam team beat the Raptors on the road on the second night of a back to back. What did I say? Kings are for real

West is drat tough though. Clippers are now 7-1 in Kawhi starts. Warriors and Lakers lurking wildcards at 10-12 seed positioning

But the Kings just finished probably the toughest part of their schedule all year with a 15-12 record with limited/injured Fox and Sabonis playing the best basketball of his career. A really nice mostly home game stretch coming up. One half game behind Phoenix! I'm optimistic

JV is fine since they have really great wing and guard defense and Giannis and Embiid play in the East.

Nance inevitably gets hurt at some point, but if he's healthy in the playoffs he can cover JV in most matchups that give him trouble.

Ayton probably is the only C that JV would really struggle with (Nurkic is always fouling), but Phoenix can't really deal with Zion because they got no Beefy Boys without Jae.

Just checked that box score and :eyepop:

Middleton's back now too I guess? He had as many minutes as anyone except Giannis but didn't really have an impact, is he back back or what? I haven't been paying attention to the Bucks

He's been back but mediocre. Today he's been utter trash.

Giannis has actually been less efficient than previous seasons but Holiday and Lopez have had all time defensive seasons. They've mostly been winning on their defense
