No…it’s not

That could could’ve won like 77 games if it wanted to

lol... regular season champions of the world so far.

how do you mean?

We'll see... there's always the chance that a regular rotation guy gets rested... for instance, Jrue Holiday missed the last game with some type of minor injury that likely wouldn't have kept him out if it were the postseason.

He's taken enough games off. Make him play 48 minutes! Oh wait he ain't AIE- always injured embiid.

Damn glad he's back. Not too many minutes tonight though.

Payton Prichard

He ain’t Iverson but you might ask Allan if he is Ivoryson.

This kid is at another level. How did this happen ?

Pritchard seems like a gym rat's gym rat.

Dude has busted his arse to get as good as he is... and he's all effort on the court.

Payton's shot is so deadly, and he can shoot it from plus range too... it sets up everything else he does, and compensates for PP's below average measurables.

Defenders simply have to jump at his shot... and he's skilled enough that he can still make things happen for himself or a teammate when he drives.

---------

It also helps that Fast PP is on a super team where the dude is often only the 4th or 5th most worrisome option on the floor. Teams got to pick their poison, and they're not gonna shade to Pritchard and leave a Tatum or Brown or Zinger (etc) open.

It's obvious Payton Prichard should be drug tested. Rumor has it he's been hopped up on Ray Lewis brand deer antler spray since he entered the league.

Why did you leave Tatum, Brown, and Holiday out of that pic?

I didn't...

Tatum's the white one... and Brown is the other white one.

Holiday? He's white too.
