    Is Embiid cleared to participate in 5 on 5 drills yet?

    So at the very least the guy isn't going to play in second night of back to backs and prolly have a minutes restriction.
    Philly better hope no ankle sprains nor jones fractures happen again if they want a chance at the 8th seed in the East.

    Can we hold back on the 'championship' talk until we actually see Embiid healthy for idk 32 games?

    It will be fun watching Emeka and Jahlil Okafor on the same team together.

    That’s what’s funny about this place. It’s always ALL or NOTHING. I’ve havent watched tonight’s philly game yet, but I DO know Simmons is a rare talent. Excited to watch him and Fultz play together. Anything they get from Embid is gravy. Wouldn’t want to be their GM dealing with him

    Wade, Butler, and Rondo out with no suitable replacements. Lost by 47 tonight. Are they going to be one of the worst teams of all time?

    I think it will come down to Bulls, Pacers, Orlando and Atlanta for worst record this year.

    Dont sleep on sixers. I know they have 45 lottery picks on their roster but they always manage to fuck up.

    I'll post this but it will be invisible to the guy who started the thread........ I think the east is going to be historically bad this year. I think Brooklyn is going to be horrible as well. Add them to that list.

    What? The Lake Show actually has some talent on that squad. Probably a 30 win team out west.

    You're just lucky that I don't believe in the ignore function.

    Pacers will surprise people I think. They have a MUCH better roster than the Bulls.

    They might be better than last year, but they are still going to suck.

    They do. Collison is a fairly decent point guard, Bogdanovic is good too, Myles Turner is a great talent and Oladipo is also good. Still a bad team but not quite the level of Bulls terrible.

    Hawks and Bulls are the worst teams in the East personnel wise but that conference has some truly brutal teams. Even those dreadful teams could potentially make playoffs because of how little quality there is. Basically the only good teams are Cleveland, Boston, Toronto, Washington and Milwaukee, maybe Miami.
