    Our biggest issue right now, I think, is that the defensive scheme of the Rockets has been solved by the league. It is remarkable that the past three teams employed very similar tactics in attacking our switching defense. The offense too may be benefited by better ball movement around the perimeter first and messing up the tactic of the opponents' defense of staying just outside the lanes to stop Alp and letting the others shoot from outside. The big problem is there is no reliable and consistent outside shooter that the opponents will respect. Cam can do it, maybe?

    Considering we have a winning record
    22 of our games so far have come against teams .500 or better
    7 of our games have come against teams under .500


    Not too bad of a start to the season. We are on track for 30+ wins

    I am on the fence about going to this game. On one hand, last time in Houston for the season and would get court side. On the other, it’s this Rockets team (sure it’s the best I have seen this decade). I’d rather save the money than watch them lose.

    Wait, what part of Australia did this come from? I've never seen the Shanghai Sharks edition bottle before

    I can’t read mandarin. My family tells me it says Australian tomato sauce. We got it in Tianjin.

    Top 4 Offense, Top 5 Defense, hard to crack.........I think the numbers are not that low without Embiid.

    It requires a special night and Philly missing everything.

    Without Bari

    FVV
    Green
    Tari
    Tate
    Alperen

    Maxey
    Melton
    Oubre
    Tobias Harris
    Paul Reed

    Even without Embiid they are dangerous. They still have Korkmaz...
