Sixers do this to teams they play. They make the game ugly. They have a lot of athletic guys and hustle on D but they don't play smart offense. Still they penetrate and try to use their speed and athletic ability. The fact that they look to shoot 3's can catch a team off guard.

Good, no doubt. But at the same time has to be causing Fisher and Jackson some worries about how fast to push him for more. More minutes, more post play, more leadership responsibility. Consider how Porzingis' situation differs from that of Duncan in his first year (with David Robinson and championship team already in place) . . .
you can't hide greatness, and you shouldn't try. it's like he's twenty-eight already mentally.
only 10 man rotation so far tonight . ..
We are going to lose this game

it was a shyt call.
The one foul they call that still just blows my mind and i think is one of the dumbest fouls they call is when i guy can pump fake to get the defender to jump off the ground and you can actually jump into him and get the foul called. It's the absolute dumbest crap i've ever seen.
they should make that move a technical foul, sort of an offensive flop.

Yeah it's Fishers fault we're only up by 9. Lol
Has Aflalo always been this good posting up?
I'm starting to wonder if Melo is washed up.

Yes. It's an underrated part of his game. He's getting to use it more in this offense. That's the MJ/Kobe mode.

They should unless the guy comes down on him then it should be some kind of technical foul.
Don't know if anyof you are Syracuse fans but we're playing Wisconsin on espn2 right now and we're down by 2 with the 2nd half just starting.
wow i am really getting fed up with the dumping on fisher. he is growing into a great leader as a coach, and he is allowed to figure shyt out as he sees fit. he's already strongly implied that it is about growing as a team more than wins and losses. he has a plan and he is sticking to it s best he can.
Bringing Afflalo in seems to be turning out to be a very good move by Jackson. He's hitting his career averages in points and shooting percentage and is a good defender.
But what's the deal with Afflalo averaging less the one free throw per game (?) That has to be a symptom of something not right . . .
grant looked like he walked

Calderon is looking better and better as well. Love that Gallo credited him and Melo as guys he has learned a lot from.
What a great bounce pass from KP. Unfortunately it was to a driving Calderon.
