2017-2018 Around the NBA

[Jontibs]

Westbrook is never going to change is he? A bull headed moron with immense talent and motor for the game but how could you ever trust him in the playoffs?

Donovan deserves plenty of criticism but I doubt Russ would adapt for any coach.

As crazy as it may seem, Philly may not lose another game the rest of the way, even without Embiid:

04-01 at Charlotte
04-03 Brooklyn
04-04 at Detroit
04-06 Cleveland
04-08 Dallas
04-10 at Atlanta
04-11 Milwaukee

With Embiid out indefinitely I doubt we fall below the third seat. Philly may very well be bounced in the first round without Joel.

He'll be back for the playoffs. Its not a knee or foot injury.

Thats a pretty soft schedule alright. Cavs have to win that game

I thought they said 3-4 weeks? He could miss the first round.

Woj just said 2 weeks. He wont miss a game in the playoffs.

Dang.

Truthfully, really don't want him to. Want the Cavs to keep their shit together enough to hold onto the 3rd seed and then worry about the playoffs.

I think a healthy Sixers could really take it to Toronto in the 2nd round. Best case scenario would be them pulling off the upset (would it really be that though?), allowing us to have HC in the ECF. That's where their inexperience will be on fully display, which LeBron will exploit.

I think a healthy Sixers though would be a real challenge though. Our next game against them is a must win.

When the Cavs are done being who they are in the East, I see Philly being the top dog eventually. Simmons is good and getting better. Seems like yesterday nobody was worried about the Sixers. They'll ruin things for Boston too and I can live with that to a degree if we ain't in it.

Because most of the time this site reads like it’s real6ersfans

There was literally a debate on here about who will have more MVPs Embiid or Simmons

That’s because many of the posters #onhere are the absolute worst.

Raptors are such frauds. So obvious. Can't believe so many fell for the trap yet again.

The calls in favor of Houston are disgusting. Pop showing how to defend them perfectly.

Always have a long, big man defender wait deep inside the lane to contest Harden using the rule of verticality and don't have your big man step on the perimeter with the big man to cover the PnR since Harden isn't shooting off the dribble from 3 or from mid range off the PnR. Fight hard on screens. If you switch, have your perimeter weak side defender guard two positions on the wing and one perimeter player step inside the lane to contest. Don't give space to Harden on the switch(big man)..just run him off the three point line.

Luckily for our coaches, Pop is showing them the ropes...and yet, They would still defend differently.

Cavs would win the championship with Pop as the HC.
