Refs are bad news tonight.

[smg]

Sixers can't get a call. Or hit a 3. Or really do anything. They suck tonight.

The refs had absolutely nothing to do with the sixers losing

Same. He still has value. If I'd rather keep Noel anyway. Not because I think he is necessarily a better player than Nah, but I like what he brings every night. The d, the effort. That's worth a lot on a young team.

[McCarthy12]

The team is going to be built around Embiid and Simmons. Everything else needs to be done with that in mind. If Jah can't mesh with Embiid he has to go. It's worth trying to keep them both but it's Embiid's team. That's how I see it.

But they should've traded Jah in the offseason. Probably had the highest value of either player.

I don't think I'm being a homer here...I really believe both players have value. Any number of teams could use a very good defensive player/rebounder OR an inside scorer.

One of them has to be gone before the deadline. I'm guessing they won't get good value...

He's not wrong though. Colangelo and Brown need to figure this out.

Did you read embiids comments? Lol... When asked about how he and okafor played last night compared to Wed...he said something like "if I'm playing defense...I expect those around me to play defense". I know hinkie took okafor for embiid protection...but that guy is basically a lesser version of demarcus cousins.

I was against it at the time

Because he's a shot blocking stud?

Shot-blocking stud that's made of glass...

[Ground_Meat]

Yes. This is his 2nd game back. He injured (or re-injured) himself in the 1st
Game back. Why would Brown (or any coach for that matter) give him 20+ minutes?

[ishimonster]

Fuck Nerlens. Didn't he just reinjure himself?

You're the third best center. Just play well and increase your trade value. The minutes will come.

[Ground_Meat]

I agree. Noel really trying to force the issue (however, he is right...he's not an 8-minute player).

Sixers are between a rock and a hard place

and every GM in the league knows it.
Too bad Stepian doesn't own the Cavs anymore.
He would have traded LeBron for Jah and TJ

It's only been a few games but the Embiid/Okafor experiment just isn't jiving.

It's only been 1.5 games. It deserves more time...I guess you could try Noel in the starting lineup when he's feeling 100%.
