Kanter has eaten himself off the team

One guy like Thjr can kill ball movement and today we didn’t have Burke , Thjr or Kanter

Suddenly ball movement looks good

How about that, a hamburger is as deadly as a bullet

Agreed, when Mitch comes back Kanter should be gone

For all of Kanter's hard work, his story ends like Jerome James, another "big" eater

Philly had 22 assists. We had 24.

I saw some good stuff. Kornet Grit and career game vs. a frustrated Embiid. Knox making progress and Frank returned looking good. He missed a few good looks but the aggression was there.
Few good hustle plays and defense.
Trier still looks "off". Since he got his contract he been hurt.
Vonleh is still a bone head. Mario making some nice passes. The dunk attempt was a good try.
Im ok with the team today. Not a blow out and Fix still has the team. Knox has to do a bit more passing. He gets the rookie pass for not feeling the game yet.
Miserable weather and good day to stay in and watch a game.

Agreed. We all knew this year was gonna be tough without KP but like you said the most important thing is the kids progressing

We have two. Burke n Hardaway but they're not fast enough to get open

If Burke could grow 4 inches and gain a few pounds, he would be perfect


If Landry Fields was 7 feet tall, he'd be headed for the Hall Of Fame.

Fields was very effective at Stanford as a big/post player. In the NBA, scaling to positional size realities, he was a big wing.

But he was a smart player and it's hard to say how it would have panned out without the injuries. I really liked him but understood his limitations.

But he's wealthy, young, healthy and was banging some Playboy Playmate. Hard to say his life is horrible now.

The scary question was what if Chris Mullin had even average NBA athleticism. He was a dead eye shooter, flawless fundamentals and an insanely high IQ/instinctive player. He was extremely difficult to guard even going at slow motion speed. Tremendous passer, great court vision, incredible timing, a mind reader in close contact.

He was blowing by everyone on the Philly team at will! I think he got his shot blocked once in all those attempts in the paint.

Just watched the third quarter. Embiid is such a dirty player. Can’t recall Clyde ever saying a player should be ejected.

Are you talking about the elbow/arm to Kornet and the hit on Trier's head?

He did get a taste of his own medicine when Knox head butted him on his way to the layup

If Frank can be sneaky with his change of pace steps and use his arm length with some body control, he can get to the rim. Not ala Westbrook and others who can just use a burst of speed to blow by defenders, just smarts, he'll be AOK.
