    Think he still gets ROY.

    Also, the big man position is slowly dying. I really hope Kristaps stays healthy. Worried about these giants.

    I think ROY is a a lock for Embiid.

    Is this the best/most talented NBA team Lebron has ever played with?

    How many of those passed up shots would our guards have taken

    Yeah, saw that on SportsCenter last night. Less than impressive, to say the least.

    You can tell he wants no part of Philly. I still think he'll be a nice big with a change of scenery.

    Maybe his hands are just super-heavy.

    Damn why is Denver good? That's crazy who would have thought before the season started the Denver Nuggets would be better than us

    I think 2012/13 Heat were pretty filthy too. A lot better defensively.

    Holy shit, other than in an all star game or from a star player with 5 fouls, that may be the worst effort I have ever seen from a center on a smaller guard around the basket. Twice in the same possession! And that was in the first quarter before the game was out of reach.

    I can see now why there were not a lot of offers for him. Thank god Denver came through with the better offer.

    With Embiid out for the season and Noel traded, the starting center job in PHI is Okafor's by default - and it shows. No effort required, none exerted.

    Because they have a balanced roster. None of their players, Jokic aside, are great but nearly all of them are decent/good. That's much better than having two very good players and a bunch of very average ones.
