it was contingent on the game being somewhat close after three quarters. If the deficit after three is too large, i can see the losing team just giving up and the quarter lasting 5 mins. That's the other side of the coin with this setup. still compelling. surprised how into it i got, even without dame.
Also, what I wouldn't do to get Ben Simmons paired with Dame here, man. ugh. He's prolly one of my favorite players in the league. The defense/vision/speed he has would complement Dame so perfectly. He could be a roller or a guy who could run offense with Dame on the wings. Pair those two with a good defensive big who can work out of the P&R and some decent catch and shoot guys and you have a championship lineup. If Philly bombs out of the playoffs and Embiid starts becoming more of a diva, I really hope Neil gets aggressive with some offers to land Ben. AND that guy is locked up for 5 yrs. Sigh.
I don't think the Blazers have anything even in the relative ballpark that would interest Philly (excluding Dame). It would take so many added assets I don't think it'd be worth it.
I suppose we can agree to disagree. I understand the desire to pair up Dame with a guy who can defend, slash and see’s the court like Simmons does.
Can we make it a member of the mods in here? We could make the mods fight it out until the winner of the whole group is the last man standing. I vote for American cavalry swords sharpened to a fine edge.
