I don’t blame Rondo for wanting to “retire” while in LA

“I was thinking about retiring,” Rondo deadpanned, before later clarifying he was joking and still loves the game. “It’s very refreshing being around a group of men, young guys like this that’s willing to sacrifice every night and playing for one of my favorite coaches I’ve ever played for -- a point guard’s or superstar’s dream coach.”

It’s been a struggle offensively off and on but defensively he changes the game at times, in a way like Dray. He needs a lot of work on his offense and to gain some weight, that will come in time. I’m hearing Garland is active, probably didn’t want him going back to back.

I’m interested to see how they defend Emniid. JA has trouble with big bodied centers
Early JA Embiid treated him like a rag doll but he’s gotten stronger and more experienced and that condition wasn’t as pronounced in his last few head to heads with Embiid. I think JA has as good a chance as anybody to body him up. You don’t want to put Mobley on him right now because as you say, Mobley needs some weight room. It’s likely Embiid bullies him the way he used to with JA. I would expect Mobley to be the primary cover on Harris.

Their 2nd half defense was much better
A little.

Last 5-7 minutes were incredible (and sure, a lot had to do with opponent and their unfamiliarity with each other). a number of shot clock violations or close where they took late bad shots.

Obviously Levert was so needed as he does seem like he can get that 7-10 foot shot in the lane whenever he wants....and, sure, there will be games where he is not so efficient.

Cavs fans, big game tonight. Both teams playing on a back to back. No Harden or Millsap for the Sixers. What’s the word on Garland? Was he held out because of the back to back? I’m excited to get some more Mobley viewing. What happened to him last night? His box score looked like he slept walked through the game.

Found this article from today.

Sixers prep for battle with Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and 2nd-place Cavs (SB nation/libertyballers, a Philly 76ers community)

Sounds like he's playing. Some numbers from the article.


Cavs- 18th ranked offense & 3rd ranked D

76ers-14th ranked offense & 8th ranked D

Fanduel last night said he was out because of front of B2B and implied he'd play tonight. Have not heard/seen that confirmed, though.

Mobley definitely didn't score or rebound much but his D was exceptional...especially in last 5-7 min.

Definitely curious to see how Cavs match up with Embiid....heard Harden will not play?

Any truth to the rumor that Harden will be watching tonight's game from a Philly strip club?

Yep Mobley hasn’t been good on offense lately but defense and help defense is amazing. Harden is out this weekend from reports

Good deal. Hopefully the Tar Heels take care of business today.
Thank you sir. I feel pretty good at home especially the way FSU has been playing. But with this Tarheel squad I can never get too comfortable lol
