so, it's going to be one of those JJ games...

 

[PickleRick]

Stick a fork in Ibaka....that dude looks done.

 

[Four4Four]

It seems like Bulter at times doesn't have a feel for where the rim is

 

[Taddy Mason]

yo, brett, Bobi ain't going to work.

Ben on Kawhi going forward.

 

[PickleRick]

I dont understand why the officials give so many calls to embiid.

 

[Four4Four]

Ben is playing real pussy right now

i'm not seeing it.

siakam and leonard killing them.

Just after I said that, Ben showed that aggression. But before I said that, Simmons was passing up open looks

What? What game are you watching?

The Sixers are playing pretty well. Kanji and Siakim are 19-24 from the field and hitting everything no matter who is defending them.

They keep playing like that and the Sixers can’t win

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Siakam is an emerging star in this league.

 

[Taddy Mason]

shit, kawhi is hitting everything over anyone, might as well bring Zhaire in and let Ben try his hand at Siakam

Was looking over everyone's top five players in the NBA right now thread and smiling that KL was only on a couple of them. Somehow he dropped off everyone's list because he had 20 or so 'maintenance' games. Perfect. I mean every name on those lists are legit but I think we could make a pretty good argument for KL being on those lists as well as a few other guys. Just struck me as odd that a guy that was a consensus top five guy in the NBA got almost no mention after having a pretty great year.

 

[Taddy Mason]

JJ has awakened.

home court followed...

 

[raptorlife4]

Raps keeping them at arms length

 

[Four4Four]

Everytime the Sixers get close, the Raps go on a run. And that's when the sixers show their immaturity and start turning the GDamn ball over

 

[Taddy Mason]

 

[Darth Dawkins]

Hoping the Raps turn on the D in the fourth.

What it shows is that you can't even make a top 5 list. There's around 8-9 guys at least who are all pretty much the tippy top, any one of which you can build a championship level team around. Not in any order (which is my point):

Curry, Durant, LeBron, Kawhi, Embiid, Harden, Giannis, Davis, Lillard are locks

Do you put Westbrook in there? Kyrie? Jokic? Those guys to me are in the tier right below.

And then there's all the young up and comers. The talent level has been so good lately.
