Also the teams don't have exclusive control over injury announcements . The players have control too.

For example embiid was blocking public statements about his knee last season for part of the time

Just wierd to me to bash the sixers training staff when they heading into game one with everyone active and the only thing is a lingering shoulder issue for Fultz.

It's weird to me to have three consecutive lottery picks miss their entire first seasons but I guess we'll see how Fultz recovers.

Fultz is definitely playing through the injury, he played through it in the preseason. the question is whether or not it’s a good idea.

personally I can't wait to see how soon it'll take for Chris Paul to start barking at Harden. It might be as soon as the second quarter tonight!

Sixers/Wizards will be a good matchup tomorrow, will be interesting to see how many minutes Embiid gets.

thought: I think we're going to see the coaching carousel start up again in earnest this season. lots of middle of the road teams have their eyes set on the playoffs. could easily see people like Dwane Casey, Terry Stotts, Alvin Gentry, etc get the boot if their teams don't make a good impression. probably not any midseason firings though

I just want to get in early on calling the Raptors losing to the Bulls. They might have lost the alphas but the Thursday night Bulls is eternal.

Yeah, there were 0 coaches fired last year, which means this year will be a bumper crop

Brett Brown said in the "teens" which makes sense to me since he played 5 on 5 for the first time like 10 days ago. He's not in game shape at all.

Also at what point do we stop chalking all of this up to bad luck and start blaming the abysmal Sixers training staff?

idk looking at how good Embiid is (when he plays) and Simmons looked in the preseason it may just be that having your players miss the first season or two is the new market inefficiency.

Didn't Casey just sign a huge extension though.

Stotts I could see.
