I think embiid’s weight was down to begin this particular season due to his olympic participation this summer…

I saw some “highlights” of his play…not moving so good, super tentative…less than low energy…

tyrese maxey doesn’t deserve this…

Steve Nash wasn’t 7’1” or anything, but he changed his diet to try to create a competitive advantage as he aged, and it led to him being better from 30-39 than he was from 20-29 (which is, obviously, totally bonkers).

Until Morey has Embiid go for a clean up surgery and tanks for Cooper Flagg and Silver blows an aneurysm….

When I read that Embiid had lost weight to get ready for the season, it made me wonder about him. I thought maybe that’s not a good sign even though it of course sounds like it will help his knees and his energy.

I seem to recall other aging players saying they had lost weight to get ready for the season (maybe Derrick Rose was one of them) and then the actual results in the season were bad. I wonder if some players deliberately lose weight because they find they are slower or less effective than they were in previous seasons and they want to fix that, but then it doesn’t work because they are intrinsically on the aging curve. Can anyone think of examples pro or con to this line of thinking?

The reports of the death of RJ’s upside have been greatly exaggerated…

well..i picked a good night to make a triumphant return to the garden…bought some nice seats on line as I was walking to the arena and had a phone app glitch (plus all the gummies were kicking in) and was panicking but I got’er done…
washington is pathetic…taking that job is like taking the jets coaching job…
not much to take away…but sims did have a career night..

tuned in to the magic and suns game for a bit…

in the background of the game it looked like paolo banchero was doing a selfie with a fan…

does he remind anyone else of peter boyle in young frankenstein?
