The more I think about it, the more I believe that the Sixers are going to be really good.
One of the things that Nurse (and the FO) should consider is handling Embiid like Brown (and the FO) handled Mitch this year. Meaning that he should play 15-20 MPG as a game-wrecking “virtual 6th-7th man.” Focus on letting LeBron develop Huk and Bona into bonafide rotation C’s.
Then after December 15, consider making a move to add more shooting.
In the immortal words of Mugatu from Zoolander:
“I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”
Look Philly will be better. If they’re healthy and we face them in the playoffs it won’t be a sweep.
But I just don’t see it. Sorry not sorry. We should still be favored over them and the fact that the odds are not saying that feels highly disrespectful. I hope our guys are seeing this.
We fucking curb stomped Philly. Full stop. Jaylen Brown and 42 year old LeBron is not that much of an upgrade to go from getting swept to beating us in a 7 game series.
“Healthy” Embiid nowadays is just a good offensive player who is a liability on defense. He’s slow and gets tired easily. KAT can dominate him.
OG is a better player than LeBron right now. Full stop.
Mikal can contain Jaylen Brown.
Brunson and Maxey is a wash I guess but Brunson seems to have his number on offense.
Our bench is way deeper than theirs even without Mitch.
Just not seeing it.
I won’t celebrate the Knicks winning it yet but to still feel confident they beat the Sixers. There is a whole season left to play though. Many moves will be made until the playoffs. East is harder this year but nothing that says Knicks can’t make it back except for the fact teams haven’t been making it two years in a row
Unrelated to LeBron or our search for another backup center, I showed The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to one of my kids last night, and it still fucking rules. They were super into it, too, and they’re not even that high on action movies, let alone Westerns.
“That was a fake account, there are a few Shams impostors out there with @’s like “ShamsCharamia” or “ShamsCharama” etc.”
And that, my friends, is why it’s important to know how to spell people’s names. 🙂

Alan, that is awesome. Nary a day goes by when my son and I don’t embed a quote from that movie into our conversation. In fact, he just quoted Tuco a few minutes ago.
Definitely on my Mt. Rushmore of movies, possibly #1. I first saw it as a tween at a the Wakefield theater in the North Bronx, as part of a quadruple feature: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, Hang ’em High, and The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly. I have seen it hundreds of times since.
Quentin Tarantino considers it #1, so it’s not outlandish to think so. But I have yet to meet a woman who thinks all that highly of it, certainly not my wife or two daughters. In that sense, it might be the quintessential dickpic.
Swifty, I don’t get how you can say that replacing Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. with Jaylen Brown and LeBron James is not much of an upgrade.
They have massive question marks for sure. But losing Mitch will definitely hurt us in matching up with them. I think the gap has narrowed significantly, if not disappeared altogether.
Mugatu was alone, though, Swift. There’s a lot of people who see it your way (🙋🏻♂️).
Listened to Rich Paul’s podcast last night (there’s not much to do on a Friday night while your 7 year old’s sleeping), and boy do I think these guys miscalculated.
They think Sixers fans are a sleeping giant that just got woken up. They think Philly is starving for an NBA title like NY was. They think Philly’s going to embrace LeBron and turn out for the Sixers like NY did for the Knicks this spring. He literally said that.
I think they’ve got amnesia. Did they not see what happened at the two Sixers home games?
Philly is an Eagles town. It’s a college basketball town. Hell it’s even a hockey town.
It’s not an NBA town. The city didn’t sustain its connection to the team during the lean years like NY & the Bay Area did with the Knicks & Warriors. And they’re not nearly as thirsty for a Sixers title as they are for NFL training camp.
I also don’t think they’re particularly eager to embrace a billionaire merc who is living in NY and taking Blades down to Philly.
It’s an upgrade but IMO it’s not enough of one to go from being curb stomped in 4 games to winning a series.
LeBron is even older than Paul George. They still have no bench and Embiid is still a huge liability on defense.
One thing that is for sure is that there are gonna be lots of Philly games on national TV. Knicks-Sixers, Celts-Sixers, Cavs-Sixers, Heat-Sixers, Spurs-Sixers, Thunder-Sixers…I’m interested to see the opening night and Christmas Day games.
