He's playing. Good. Home opener and they're off next 3

Good. Just put him on a minutes restriction.

Nice quick 12-0 for the Sixers

It's just nice seeing all these cuts and off ball movement. Those stagnant Doc offenses were a nightmare lol.

Rockets are actually fighting the Warriors in this game. I like the effort. Definitely a change from last year.

Re: 10/24 - 11/6 Games Discussion Thread

I've liked Embiid’s effort on defense so far the first 3 games so far. A lot of plays he's made so far, he would have let slide last year. Outside of the Bucks game, Embiid has looked aggressive and in better shape. It usually takes him until Mid-November to get into shape lol. 10-5-3-3 in first quarter on the second game of a back to back


As I said, I'm loving the player and ball movement. It feels like Harden might play on Thursday against Toronto, so I wonder how that changes how they play. They're a lot more fun to watch compared to the last couple years.

Toumani Camara is making plays

Embiid has been very aggressive in the paint. He isn't settling for jumpshots. 24-9-5-3-2 in the first half

We've already had multiple notable names sit due to "rest".

Is there realistically anything the NBA could actually do to stop this?

Even if they ever reduced the number of games (which would be stupid and pointless), I think guys still sit the same percentage of games.

If the league flat out eliminated back to backs and made the season longer (as in, it starts earlier so that you could space out games more), or just had ALL back to backs be against the same team (so the other team would be just as "tired" as you), would that change anything?

Like I said.. nothing was ever going to change. This “rule change” was just to appease people who don’t actually watch games, who don’t understand when, why, and how often guys actually miss games. And don’t really follow today’s NBA all that closely. Just like most the other recent rule changes. They just needed something to shut up the loudest part of the “these dudes never play” crowd.

Ayton just doesn’t have it. Never going to live up to what he’s assumed potential was. These top level centers just abuse him.

Teams are aware of Wemby. Just watched Kawhi miss an easy layup and then Zubac pump fake see Wemby. Then kicked it out of the house lol

Re: 10/24 - 11/6 Games Discussion Thread

Embiid with the DX chop lol. Embiid with 35pts, 15 rebs, 7 assists, 6 blocks, and 2 steals after 3 quarters. That was after Sixers were essentially peer pressured into playing him lol

Sixers up 18, so ideally they won't have to bring Embiid back in

I agree. He's one of them "Man against boys" in college, but a "boy against men" in the NBA.

Re: 10/24 - 11/6 Games Discussion Thread

Wemby are the top of the key in a zone defense. Now that's very fun. I remember when the Cavs did that with me Evan Mobleya few years back.

Re: 10/24 - 11/6 Games Discussion Thread

Bones back doors he's man. He thinks he's wide open for a layup. Sees Wemby coming over. Throws it out of bounds [emoji23]
