    I'm tired of blowing games in Philly - and now they're actually decent. Maybe that will make us come in with some focus for once.

    This is gonna be UGLY!

    As for the poll question: does it even matter? Either one would be better than 99% of the players in the league (and better than anyone on our team). PHI - health pending - is gonna be a beast in a couple years.

    You gotta go with the guy with the least injuries: Ben Simmons.

    I’ve watched almost all their games. Embid is a nutjob, love that guy. See him get Mitchell kicked out of the game tonight? Kid cracks me up.

    For sure, this one and the DC game the tough ones. I dont think nurkic have a chance to stop embiid, he's a beast. Last 2 season, when they are trash they beat us at their home. I count this one as L, but i hope our guys play hard. They are 3-3 at home, only lost to boston, gsw and rockets at the final shot. The only chance we have to beat them is if we play our best basketball of the season.

    Not sure how Blazer fans who have endured decades of injuries to talented big men can vote for anybody but Simmons here

    Imagine the 76ers with Paul George at SG.

    They'd start 6'10/6'9/6'9/6'10/7'1

    They could switch 1-4. I really think PG needs to go to Philly this offseason. That team would be a matchup nightmare for the Warriors.
