how did Okafor look tonight? I ask as he was seen as a potential trade target

Mostly a non factor

[Ring_Wanted]

Woah, we got owned by The Process (really not a surprise) and by Sauce Castillo. Our defense is truly the worst. On that front, Bender may be weak and not that productive on offense, but he adds on defense, clearly. He should be getting the nod before Chriss.

[Shabazz]

How many times a game to we have to see the "Any Way You Want It" commercial?

THE WORST!

[Shabazz]

For everyone trying to dump Len and pick him apart, he's possibly been our 2nd best player this season (after Warren).

...with knight as a piece. 3-12 shooting is appealing in no ones book and is hardly an aberration.

Struggle to see how it happens IOW unless it's Bledsoe that goes instead.

I still think we should re-sign Len. Big men take a long time to develop. Even after 3-4 years they are still very much a project in development. If you see signs of real talent but give up too early, you will regret it.

I agree Mori - it would be right out of recent Suns' play book to offload him and watch him develop though, totally what I'm afraid of. Actually, afraid is probably the wrong word, more like 'expect'!

That seems like a slight stretch to me, but I agree that other than Warren, we don't have many guys playing consistently well. And I do think that despite some inconsistencies, Len is having a generally promising year that makes me want to keep him around.

I think the decision comes come to giving Tucker or Williams minutes. If you give Williams the minutes, then say goodbye to Dudley at PF and to Tucker's SF minutes when Warren returns.

And I am good with that.

There is practically 0% chance this team is making the playoffs, so I don't see a need to play guys like Tucker. He has no future here.

Actual rankings (probably);

1. Warren
2. Dudley
3. Bledsoe
4. Len

Embarrassing effort. The lack of effort is on Watson. How bout some tough love instead of hot yoga?

I'm not fooled by Beldsoe. Just proves he doesn't bring it every night. He doesn't make anyone better either.

Ulis and Sauce played with heart. Knight seems to try hard ill give him that. He just sucks. Everyone else looked lazy and careless.

[Superbone]

I didn't think the effort was embarrassing in this one like it was in Denver. Their effort was just misguided in this one. Way too many wide open threes and the 76ers hit them all. We still have a long way to go on both offense and defense. It was very disappointing though after how well they played in Indiana.

[UglyTruth]

Has all the hype gone to Booker's head?

No, all the pain is currently in his ankle.

[Nodack]

Awful game to watch. Their Center Embiid is a beast. Our Defense is ranked the absolute worst for good reason.

[Ring_Wanted]

Their Center Embiid is a beast.

And he has the coolest nickname in a long time. Joel "The Process" Embiid.
