    Crabbe and Plumlee have been playing great lately, not just this game.

    You are assuming I'm worried.

    Let me tell you, it's a much different feeling.

    You're such a fucking pedant.

    I said "It's like that almost every night, with opposing backcourts putting up big numbers against CJ and Damian." It may not always be "57" points, but guys shoot a high percentage and put up more than their season averages with regularity against these two.

    To make an impact trade doesn't always require your best players. I am not talking about another star here, I am talking Nerlens. We don't have another highly coveted player on the roster so I don't know where you are going with that because I basically just said that by saying our supporting cast is shit. Crabbe has some value right now though. Gotta assume Meyers always does, the league loves a 7 footer that can shoot threes

    It must happen exactly, or it hasnt happened at all.

    That's simply not true. Make it 50 if you want, it's not true.

    Yup it's that bad and I didn't even realize it till I saw that. Makes sense though after that huge losing streak

    What makes you think Crabbe for Noel or Meyers for Noel is appealing to the Sixers? There's 28 other potential trading partners out there.

    Seems to me like a lot of teams want Milsap. Not sure what philly wants that's just a suggestion that has been rumored for a bit. Crabbe and a first.

    Twolves backcourt scored 14 on us, Kings backcourt scored 11 on us, Lakers backcourt scored around 37. We held the Warriors backcourt under 50. So no, we arent getting lit up "almost every night."

    If we're going to cherry pick, look at the Spurs SG and PG production (for example)

    Sidereal have big men but need shooters. I'm sure Philly would love to have Crabbe.

    Kings and Blazers aren't tied. We are ahead by percentage points.
