    Is Jalen playing today? Looks literally invisible out there besides fouling

    If this is how he's gonna play, he should just stay home. No way we're winning the game unless he actually does something this third quarter

    Tari and Dillon might be our two most important players. Dillon sat and we immediately went into a hole.

    And people said James Harden's game was ugly to watch. At least Harden is a brilliant passer with fun handles.

    Embiid is effective--but b****y, floppy, and sometimes reckless when he launches himself on the floor

    Amen and Cam. It’s really easy. They are both better on both sides of the ball than Tate. The more minutes they get the better their defense will become. Might as well put Landale in. He can foul as well as Tate.

    Every player has a scouting report. It feels like the scouts have caught up to Sengun’s magic.

    They’re going to load up on him and say someone else has to beat us.

    Until Sengun’s midrange and 3-point shooting becomes more consistent, I really think you cant argue that a guy like Sabonis is a superior player. While Sengun’s footwork and inside game are special, his weak outside shooting limits him against certain teams that have good interior defenders. It also allows the lane to be clogged when his teammates drive. He will help himself and his teammates immensely if he can even become consistent with a midrange shots let alone 3-p.

    6-11 in our past 17 if we can't turn it around tonight. Philly get a lot of soft calls.

    Embiid looks out of shape.

    But an out of shape Embiid is better than anyone on this roster

    Sabonis isn't a shooter either

    Sabonis is a lot older and more experience. He isn't a great shooter though.
