As does half the league. It is ridiculous how they don't call it anymore. How many times a game do you see a guy up top take a side step or a back step to shoot a 3? It is maddening.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:

The 76ers look amazing, but let's remember who they are playing.

THANK YOU
I was starting to think it was just me. I deliberately watch a players feet once they get the ball, and I swear that 85% of the time they pick up the pivot foot before the dribble.

All those other teams have not had to deal with Embid and Simmons. If they can stay healthy they could win multiple titles.O_Gardino wrote:The 76ers look amazing, but let's remember who they are playing.
What is sad is that their entire 1st team and all of their the bench regulars would be starters on the Phoenix Suns. Booker and Jackson would get minutes in Philly but probably no one else.

Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, First Round
Philly is really good, but I think they're being annointed a bit early. They might make it to the Finals (though I think they'll fall in the ECF), but saying they will win multiple titles is premature. They still don't have much shooting on that roster, and their collective durability and health is a huge concern. It has all come together nicely for them since no other team in the East is healthy or coherent right now: Boston is missing their two best players, and Lebron is on a dead-end Cavs roster that stupidly traded away their second-best player. And every player on Philly happens to be healthy this year and playing. This is a rare situation for Philly that lets them capitalize. But next year, who knows? Embiid could get yet another leg injury. Simmons could get hurt again. Even losing JJ Redick would be crushing for them. It's an exciting team but their success hangs by a thread.

I see you keep repeating the Lack of Shooting for Sixers and not sure why u feel that way
I think Embiid just not himself with the mask tho

Sixers have been a top 5 three point shooting team since the all star break, they've got enough shooting.

Mitchell is really, really good.
Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, First Round
Yeah he is. Too bad the Jazz fanbase loves their Jazz so much they are annoyingly blind to obvious fouls by their guys, even when it's confirmed on video replay.

Reddick, Ily and Belinelli are free agents. They could be losing a TON of shooting going forward.Split T wrote:Sixers have been a top 5 three point shooting team since the all star break, they've got enough shooting.

There really is a ton of talent on that team. It's like the Early days of OKC. I agree that they certainly aren't a dynasty yet, but they are talented and fun.

Re: 2018 NBA Playoffs, First Round
I enjoyed watching the Jazz beat OKC sooooooooooo much. Westbrook is cancer and I want him to lose in the 1st round or miss the playoffs every season for the rest of his career. The guy is completely toxic and uncoachable and cannot be part of an actual winning team strategy.
I am also looking forward to the crumbling of OKC's team this offseason. Paul George has to be leaving now. And Melo will opt in and stay, which is delightful because he's a complete waste of $28 million of cap space. They might struggle to make the playoffs next year with that roster. LMAO!
This is all belated karma for leaving my fair former city of Seattle. A pox on their houses!
