    So maybe SOME people should show some respect for how well our team is playing.

    Oh and Nik's heart said we'd make the playoffs but his head said Dallas would. Hilarious.

    Philly has a few nice building pieces outside of Embiid and Simmons, I'd kill to be able to obtain Saric and Covington for our team.

    If Embiid and Simmons were healthy this year, they'd be the 6th seed at least. Not sure Embiid will ever be healthy though. It's sad. I wish them well though. East needs another top team.

    They wanted to crush Noel now that he's a Mav.....Philly is a trap team, they can beat you if you blink. I think Gerald Henderson is a hell of a leader for those young guys...he's a floor coach.

    That is still better than you predicting that the Blazers would win 26 games and that CJ wasn't a starter in the NBA.

    I said 54 but that was back when I thought Festus Ezeli would start, Ed would be healthy, Crabbe would wake up before the allstar break, Meyers would have a break out season and Turner wouldn't break his hand, Mason would be coming off the bench......shit happens! Got to keep up the swagger or seasons become groundhog day....I'm diggin' where we're headed now...would be happy to end with a winning streak and get Turner and Nurk some time on the court together...it's a different team right now.

    That's just it. Injuries will destroy your team. Embliid reminds of me of oden...if the players were healthy they'd be a hell of a team.

    So they beat a worse team by more?

    That never happens.

    And at least they could keep a 21+ point lead.

    Thor's thread is just as trollish as the stuff Portland2014 posts.

    So we play bad for a game against the Sixers.

    Then the Sixers play a team starting 2 undersized, undrafted guards, and 39 year old Dirk at center. The Sixers play good and they play bad.

    And that means we should show are team more respect? What the actual fuck.

    You call out people way to much. You predicted how many wins again?

    Its stupid to say "Hey, this one game shows that we didn't play bad in another game, and need to respect the 30-37 team more.". That makes no sense!

    Does this place normally get like this when the team is bad?...

    Our team is playing so well, fighting and scrapping for a playoff spot, that they have gone 6-4 in their last 10 games. Dallas has done the same, while that tough Philly team has gone 3-7.

    Maybe it's not some people who need to show some respect for how well this team is playing, but rather some people who need to realize how average this team is playing.

    If there is one thing I've learned here is that it's not trolling if you're positive
