[Shaqdaddy11]

To be fair it's hard to stop the backcourt of Lillard and Evan Turner.

will the Suns get to 70 at least tonight...?

I'm wondering if they'll be losing by that much!

I fucking LOVE what I saw from Dejounte Murray tonight. He's gonna be so good. He already is, but he can only get better.

Bench looked fantastic, as expected. Rudy Gay did a ton of great little things, put forth a ton of effort. And Aldridge...all I gotta say is, it better stay this way the rest of the season. Loved this game. Good W to get the season started.

Pretty happy with how the Sixers played tonight. Especially Simmons. Posting a double double in your first NBA game with 5 assists as well is a pretty solid start to your NBA career.

If Embiid and Simmons stay healthy the Sixers could be a 48-50 win team. Still probably the the 4th or 5th best team in the conference but a team to contend with.

I refuse to accept that the Trailblazers are 50 points better than the Suns.
That shit snowballed fast. This is not an indication of who we are.

For sure. Spurs smoked the Ws at home opening night last year, it wasn't an indication of who they were either.
