I think I'd say Bogdan has been the best "rookie" on the team, but it's close between him and Mason. Fox has played more and has more ppg, rpg, and apg but has struggled to shoot. Still only 19 off one season in college, ups and downs are expected so I'm not yet worried. Mason has really impressed me so far, seems more than qualified to be at least a backup PG for this team in the future.

Good to see

Embiid is officially my favorite player. Yes, he's a beast but its mostly because the dude is just fun. He trashes EVERYONE but its all coming from a good place of respect.

Plus, how can you not love a player that does this

WATCH: Joel Embiid trolls Jalen Rose, says he's at '81 percent' conditioning

Same reason I loved Shaq

Yeah, this kid is a savage.

I'm loving me some Donovan Mitchell.

But, Embiid's play, and his mouth, make him must see TV.

That 76ers team is a fun team and only getting better. Good to see a guy like Embid healthy.

@ChiefsLakers67 you have any answers for the KC Chiefs please?

3-way tie for 1st between Oakland, LA Chargers, and KC.

Fun 1st quarter @CitySushi but Steph being this hot can't be a good sign for Miami

POP is resting Lamarcus Aldridge as a healthy scratch.

Jeez, just when the team was rolling and LA has been playing like a God.

I hope he knows what he is doing. I do trust the guy, but it ruins some of the games I look forward to watching.

I though the schedules were revamped this season to help prevent the "healthy rest Spurs style" epidemic.

You do realize tonight starts a 5 game in 7 day stretch for the Spurs right?

I have to admit that both the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Charges have done much better than I expected. I expected nothing from either team really. They just both might do okay in Los Angeles

What the fuck happened to this dude this year? Is there some kind of curse on the Kings that turns good players into crap or something?

Kings curse? Yes
Hill just seems pretty uninspired to play like he did last season, the Kings don't have a lot of offensive punch and he still can't even average 10ppg. And the general thought is he's upset for being benched down the stretch last night even though Fox and Mason were outplaying him. In the press conference Hill said it didn't matter if he played 40 min and the backups played 8 or vise versa as long as it helps the team. Maybe he's frustrated about himself not living up to the contract but if that was the case he should make it clear. I wonder if he talked to Bledsoe after the game to get tips on how to tweet your way off a team, although there's been no mention of a hair salon yet.

Fuck the Chargers! Can KC get their shit together already so I don't have to deal with the fake Chargers being in the playoffs their first season after ditching SD? I'd even take the Raiders winning that division over them, and I hate the Raiders.

You know this is a classic reason that I didn't believe the Lakers under Jim Buss could be contenders in three years. I know he said he would step down, but I didn't believe him and I knew it would take more than that. The draft takes awhile and it's tough to get the right pieces and by the time you get all of the right players, the older ones want out. I will say one thing for Jeanie Bus, I was afraid she didn't have what it takes to fire her own brother and I am glad to be wrong. This is what the Kings need to do and step up to the plate and clean house. My condolences my friend

I love you, man.
