Watching sixers vs Celtics. Good game. Sixers hanging in the into the 4th. But one thing is clear: this team can’t handle being on the floor without embiid and Simmons. One is okay. Both off the court is awful.

Man that’s depressing. I was the president of the fultz fan club, but they really need to hope he turns out. My sense is that he should just take his redshirt this year and come back like Simmons next year. It’s clearly too much to ask, but might as well ask for something. They’re a key scorer away from contention.Celts are formidable; Markelle Fultz will have to go far to be a better player than the #3 pick of the draft, Jayson Tatum. Tatum is starting, scoring about 14 pts/game, and shooting 47% from 3-point and 85% from the FT line. He's a shooter/scorer who would have fit in well with this Sixers team.

Impressive as they are, Tatum's numbers don't do him justice. The kid has special written all over him. Wow, what a player.Celts are formidable; Markelle Fultz will have to go far to be a better player than the #3 pick of the draft, Jayson Tatum.

Current Celtics have no answer to even slow Embiid down. They need a big with some muscle. Ainge is a hevkuva GM. Tatum looks great . Given Hayward's injury, hard to believe they are 19-4
Brooker is 6'8", listed as a Power Forward, just turned 30, currently averaging 10 pts and 6.6 rebs/gamelooks as though the Sixers are close to sending Jahlil Okafor, Nik Stauskas, and a 2nd round pick in 2019 to the Nets for Trevor Brooker.

C'mon Sixers! Beat LA!! #2-5
This team is both fun to watch and completely frustrating to watch at the same time.
Ugh, I stayed up late to watch the Sixers @ Portland. The Sixers had a great 3rd quarter, and were up 18 points. They then fell apart, and with 3 minutes left they are down by 10. The Sixers were 2-13 in the 4th quarter, before Redick just hit a 3.
And just like that, the Sixers hit back-to-back 3s, and cut the lead to 4 points. That's followed by 2 free throws and a made basket (after a terrible shot by Embiid) by the Trailblazers, to fall back 8 points.
Embiid has really been frustrating in this game. His offensive moves when going to the basket are too predictable.
And now a turnover by Simmons, and this game is pretty much over. Then a 3 by Embiid, followed by a turnover by the Trailblazers, give the Sixers the ball with 15.4 sec left, and the Sixers down by 4. Then Simmons with a bad throw-in pass which Portland steals, so Redick has to foul. 109-105, with 13.4 sec left.
Final, 114-110, Portland
Too many ugly things in the game for the Sixers in the 4th quarter.
I've never seen a team blow so many nice leads.
They just aren't deep enough. I've never seen a team blow so many nice leads. The offense tends to be too much of throwing in to Embiid and letting him go one on one.
And this Fultz thing is turning into a joke.
No structural damage. The guy has been out a half season with a boo boo to his shoulder.He injured his shoulder. How is it a joke?
For what it's worth, most mock drafts have Trae Young going in the top 2 or 3 picks. I've seen Jaren Jackson from Michigan State and Luka Doncic (6'8" from Slovenia) around the #6 pick.If the Sixers get the Lakers pick at #6, could see them drafting Trae Young. Would be a nobrainer.
To be honest, I'm starting to wonder if it is intentional. Like did his agent convince him that taking a fall for the sixers would allow him to be a PG somewhere else?Has anyone seen the videos of Fultz shooting in practice? I don't know what's going on there, but it's not looking good. It's not just that his shot looks bad now, but it looks so different than what it was in college. Has to be rough on the kid.

There's just no reason for this at all. It's not a strange or precise motion for the body to attempt. Golf swings can get ruined like Charles Barkley, but there's absolutely no reason to just completely lose a jumpshot. Between when i recently started playing and probably about 7 years ago, I hadn't played basketball once. I shoot with almost identical form today as I did when I was in high school. This is truly the most absurd sports bust I've ever seen.
