a real finals preview would be to let Denver have 4 weeks to rest and then make the sixers play 20 games on 30 nights before hand

I'm trying to win the World Cup

Good game Grizz. Ja Morant is definitely top ten.

1.Curry, 2.Durant, T3.Embiid, T3.Jokic , T3.Giannis, T6.Davis, T6.LeBron, 8.Morant, 9.Doncic in that order.

10th spot reserved for the eventual defensive player of the year: I can never tell who that is in the middle of the year I need a coach to explain the film to me.

I can believe Tatum and Brown are better than Davis and LeBron this year but the Boston Celtics are the compete package I don't like picking out one player.

i'm not sure what PJ Tucker offers the sixers that Jaden Springer wouldn't at this point. PJ was getting blown by all game last night and continues to be a huge negative on offense. they're basically the same size but Springer is faster and capable of finishing. At least Doc has his minutes way down from earlier in the season, but I can't believe there's two more years on that contract.

tucker is not a negative on offense. he’s essential to making embiid / harden / Harris et all work
he’s fine on defense as well .

he’s literally playing about as well as he ever has. stop looking at box scores

PJ looks like poo poo idk what ephemeral quality he brings to Harden/Embiid on offense but it doesn't look like he does anything on that end of the court


KD is right

PJ Tucker makes a lot of sense. With Embiid and Harden, you need players who don’t want too much offensive responsibility. Tucker can still threaten a D with a shot and he isn’t a primary offensive guy. Are there better players to fill that role in the league probably, but Philly isn’t going to get one without loving up the mix.

It’s like how Ben Simmons would be a top player if he stopped pretending to be a point guard. he doesn’t have the juice to be a primary ball handler or scorer.

pj makes threes from the corner and is happy with out the ball

he’s literally perfect for their offense. could not design a better offensive fit

edit

I checked he’s 40% from the corner this year. his career number from the corner is 39%

he’s literally fine

Feb 18, 2009

so his man is not in the lane when embiid or harden has the ball. that’s it. it’s wildly important

that S is misleading

not doing a lot of pulling the defense to the corner when you only make one every other game

Ridiculous Embiid disrespect.

Just like last year when Siakam broke his face and everyone celebrated, dude is just held to a different standard of being shat on.

AD is absolutely a better player but this is the all-star game, defense doesn't matter and starting Zion is way cooler

Anyone who can consistently and effectively attack the rim without becoming a full-time flopper should be awarded an extra million votes

Fair enough. Thankfully Luka injury means we'll probably get to see Morant and Zion start together
