    Philly is just hitting everything. GSW has had some good defense at times and still philly making most of their shots.

    IIRC, first quarter they had 47 points on 17/23 shooting lol.

    Warriors are trash. You have to wonder if they'll make playoffs at this point.

    Where do I say they won't make the playoffs? You gotta wonder though.

    It's not going to be long at all before (injuries permitting) the Sixers have the two best players on the planet.

    It's funny, people joke about the method to Hinkle's madness but there is some meat in that stew. Just looking at what Emiid, Simmons and Fultz (when healthy) will hopefully become.... it's hard to convince yourself that it's not worth it. There is no such thing as building a contender from low draft picks and cast offs.... You shoot the moon for the top 5 picks in the modern NBA or you go home. At least if you're in a market like the Blazers. Building around a couple of decent players and a great coaching system. It just doesn't work. Philly is fun to watch every game and I will be the first to admit that.

    I swear Pachulia is fucking Bob Probert. Anybody with ten feet of that asshole gets laid out.

    Jazz scored at will vs Knicks a few days ago. In the second half at least. Utah offense is underrated. Heck, we gave up 30 to Rubio. And Donovan Mitchell is awesome.

    Because Philly are built around a rookie and a young center who is in his second season, plus a rookie point guard who has actually struggled so far. All three will get much, much better.

    .... do you want an honest answer and a follow up question to your statements? I really don't think you would want to.

    Why do you even post stuff like that? There is no way it's even your valid opinion, it's just a wind up.

    It’s stupid and old. Not sure what the purpose of it is except an extreme need for attention.

    I don't need attention here. Ignore me if you like. Warriors not impressing me.

    Huge difference between not being impressed with two time champions and thinking that a team that is clear favourite to win the league might not even make playoffs, despite 11-4 start.
