Ish and Noel are nasty

I hope they work Okafor into this without killing that combo.

I was just thinking the same thing. I didn't see either of the last 2 games. I'm hoping it's more of Ish Smith just being a quality PG, and not Okafor causing some sort of rift in the offense.

Good to see Noel knocking down some midrange Js too

Why would there be a rift on the offense? Honest question. Okafor didn't play last night. Have there been rumors of that?

Do you just make shit up as you go along?

he had a sore knee

jeez...why would you play the guy if there is any risk

[McCarthy12]

I know he was out because of his knee - I was wondering why he thought there was some sort of "rift." I haven't heard anything about that.

[Irish George]

me neither

they seem to be sharing the ball. Does not make sense for there to be a rift between the only two actual players on the squad, IMO

[McCarthy12]

Agreed. I do think Ish Smith is a nice addition at PG. Maybe not the long term answer but at least he's a real NBA player with some experience.

No rumors at all and I'm not making things up. This sometimes happens when certain players (even really good ones) are out. My point is that the chemistry with Smith and Noel has been seen before. I'm hoping that Jah can smoothly transition into playing well with them.

They may feel like they need to feed him a lot when he returns...could take some work for the 3 of them to get on the same page.

[McCarthy12]

I think they'll be fine. Neither are good enough yet to have those kind of egos. Okafor is still the best player so he'll get his one way or another.

I cannot wait for this summer. This entire franchise could be turned around if Simmons comes to town. I'm biased, but I'd also like to see Denzel Valentine with the Heat or Thunder pick.

Have you seen Kris Dunn, the PG from Providence? He's good. Injury issues but he seems ok now...

Ya I watched him vs. Michigan St early this season and saw him a couple times last year. He's very smooth. I think they only way the Sixers will have a shot at him is if they can get the Lakers picks (#4 or higher). Dunn will likely be a top 10 player.
