    I’m jealous that @Reeko was at the game, in person, no doubt yelling like a lunatic and drinking large amounts of overpriced beer. What I would have been doing if I lived in Houston instead of Austin and had tickets. What did you think I meant?

    Very nice move from Alpi. You can see Hakeem’s influence. I hope he still gets to work with Dream from time to time. He’s a good student. Those lessons are not wasted.

    I think it meant you want to go to the game in San Antonio on Thursday with me and my oldest?

    Green attacked Embiid confidently and finished beautifully at the rim. Not enough ball movement from our side. Too much iso. Some P/R roll between Green and Sengun. That sky dunk off the rim by KJM was unbelievable! Tari brought great energy to the team. KPJ is valuable no doubt. He should look to pass the ball out to Jabari and the P/R/ lob with him.

    PS: I got emotional seeing Harden in the Philly jersey. I'm not gonna lie, it was nice seeing him getting hot near the end. I'm glad KPJ defended the stepback brilliantly.

    1- Sengun played very good d
    2- Defensive rating is not an individual stat, just like +-. I really don't see any good metric to measure individual defense other than the ones that measure direct production, like blocks, but they only measure what they measure not overall defense. Even defensive rebounds can be misleading.
    3- All the starters had better defensive ratings than usual. The reason was, our perimeter defense mostly struggles with ball/off ball movement, relatively better on one-on-one defense. Philadelphia does not have much movement and with Maxey out, things were much easier.
    4- Philadelphia attacked Sengun regularly to put his foul numbers up. The thing we should do in return is to attack their bigs, both by posting sengun up and forcing inside with our guards. If we have triple times possessions where Sengun defends compared to Embiid, Sengun will be in foul trouble for sure.

    I don't need you to convince me on Sengun. I'm one of his biggest fans. I been buying up all his rookie cards. Only Silas is a fool and doesn't believe. But you are just a Harden hater if you gonna tell me he's better than the second greatest Rocket ever.

    KPJ missed so many easy oppurtunities to get the ball to Sengun when he was on the roll, in which Sengun could score get fouled or pass it to an open man. He just refuses to pass opting most times to take a contested jumper. Even in a win its frustrating to watch.
