Get to see "The Process" Thursday Night

[Big Little]

Looking forward to seeing how this young Sixers team matches up with the Spurs.

Kawhi and Embiid will be fun to watch!

[JuTMSY4]

IIRC, did you ever end up taking that Spurs job?

[Sect 236]

Sixers just released their medical report. Embiid is out tonight and "doubtful" for the DAL and SAS portion of the road trip.

That really sucks for you BL.

BL is a jinx!

Happy Tanksgiving

I hope they sit Embiid the rest of the year.

[Sect 236]

I don't think Simmons is coming back this year. Medically, he could, but I see Rich Paul wanting to capitalize on the opportunity to win ROY next year and having Ben sit out.

I could see the Sixers MAYBE trying to sit Embiid more down the stretch, but, I don't think he'd do it quietly. I think he wants to play too much for them to sit him with no actual issues.

[Snakebitten]

They really shouldn't return if they aren't 100%. I know I'm in the minority here but I'm still rooting for losses for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, I keep looking at this schedule and I still see plenty of wins on there. Once again, the Lakers aren't doing them any favors and the Kings losing Rudy Gay didn't matter. I also don't want some dumb trade that actually makes them better this season. I've waited this long, why not another few months of tanking and see the process through?

No sir ended up saying in the HCM industry..

@Sect Damn, I was worried about that! A buddy of mine here from Philly just got tix for the game as well. Oh well, hopefully it's a good game.

Back when Simmons got injured there was a lot of talk about how there was no way his agent was going to let him come back this year.

It's probably the smart move for everybody concerned.

I think he'll play after the all-star break.


Anyway, this game tonight has been amazing. They were down by 15...now up 5 going into the 4th.

how about that win?

when embiid is in the game...the ball moves around less...but their defense is so much better.

when he's out, they look like a college team passing the ball, but they can't stop anyone.

Good observation. I think they'll put it together...so young...

[Loki]

Chance to showcase Nerlens and Jah

Still curious to see which one goes and for what.

Gotta be Jah...he's got value. The question is how much. I'd be shocked if he and NN were both here in 2 Months.

At some point they are just too good to be tanking and I think that's what we're seeing now. Can't stop young guys from getting better on the court and wanting to win, so at this point I'm all in with winning.

I would say any moves they make should be aimed at having a contender in 2-3 years, not anything that doesn't have a long time horizon, but I think the momentum with the young guys is something you don't want to slow down.
