    I've always hated the "sit a player in foul trouble" mentality...even moreso in game 1 of a rebuilding season. Let players play through foul trouble. He played 23 minutes picking up 5 fouls; could he have gotten to 30 without getting number 6? No way to know when they insist on hiding players from difficult situations.

    Wasn’t there a coach way back when who bucked this trend? Was it Phil?

    Is Nassir Little a trash player?

    14 points in the final 4 minutes, and a perfect 17-17 from the line.

    Saw on RealGM that someone leaked that Mann was included in the Clippers offers for Lillard. Tried to find it on Yahoo and could only find this.

    https://sports.yahoo.com/james-hard...th-sixers-as-nba-season-begins-232553218.html

    If the Clippers are really offering Mann, one unprotected pick, one pick swap, plus filler, Philly is really delusional on Harden's value. He only has one year left on his deal, is not aging gracefully, and is not someone you want to give a huge extension to.

    The problem (for Philly) is that the Clippers are NOT offering Mann for Harden, whereas they WERE including him in a prospective deal for Jrue Holiday.

    Larry Brown used to bench Smits for the rest of the first half if he picked up 2 fouls. No matter the score, situation, or importance of the game. It allowed Smits to play aggressive in the 2nd half without fear of foul trouble. It worked as they reached the ECF in 1994 & 1995.

    Clearly Jrue is more valuable than Harden at this point. Joe was a genius.

    I believe it was the other way around. Sixers offered Harden for Mann and picks and the Clippers turned them down. Can anyone confirm?

    For most free throws attempted on a game? Giannis hasn't had more? Interesting.

    I do not think anything can be confirmed until Harden is actually traded. Until then, seems like the rumors are just that.
