Well tbf to Embiid. Drummond is a trash player. No skill at all.

Better than any big on your abhorrent Laker roster, so save it

speaking of. What pick do you think you'll be giving us in the upcoming draft? 2,3 or 4? You guys are more trash than I thought.

Yeah, we can pretend that

Nuggets are terrible. Hope they get relegated

RG brah none of us actually told you to bet on them

Predictions tonight?

Nets @ Magic
Bulls @ Cavs
Knicks @ Celtics
Pacers @ Wolves
Pelicans @ Blazers
Jazz @ Clippers

Nets and Magic is actually an interesting game. The Magic smashed the Cavs and are at home, they're clearly looking to surprise people this season. The Nets actually have a winning record which I'm sure won't last for too long but still.

Magic here, the general rule is when two poor teams play each other, take the home team.

Cavs, not even close. The Bulls have the worst team in the NBA.

Celtics.

Wolves. I think they build on that momentum from beating OKC at home with a last second winner. They're still not quite there but they have a better team than the Pacers, are at home and the Pacers are without Turner.

Pelicans. I don't think the Blazers have a shot at stopping Davis and Cousins but with Portland being at home and having a back court of Dame and CJ, I could easily be wrong. This should be a high scoring game.

Jazz. I think they get it done on the road. The Clippers haven't faced a team of this caliber this season yet after opening up against the Lakers and the Suns. The Jazz could easily be 3-0, losing narrowly away to Minnesota and beating OKC and Denver.

Who ya'll got?

I'd like to win obviously but Nurkic isn't bad at all tbh, also I think Lillard and CJ will obliterate our perimeter D

Also think Clippers will win, agree on the rest.

Magic based on the fact that myplayer in 2017 was based in Orlando and we were incredible

Cavs

Celtics

Wolves, Pacers just not quite at the same level

Blazers, though I'd like a Pels win

Got Jazz on this one as well tbh

Knicks to win imo

That's like saying Crystal Palace will beat City, except they are Crystal Palace playing City almost every night.

I have inside info

In fact, I told him the opposite lol

Tonight, I'd go all home teams. Pels-Blazers only one that's questionable to me

Seems legit.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz, the top overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft, had fluid drained from his right shoulder earlier this month and is planning to visit a specialist soon, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday.

"Markelle had a shoulder injury and fluid drained out of the back of his shoulder," agent Raymond Brothers told ESPN. "He literally cannot raise up his arms to shoot the basketball. He decided to try and fight through the pain to help the team. He has a great attitude. We are committed to finding a solution to get Markelle back to 100 percent."

No decision has been made for Fultz to miss games, league sources said.

Fultz had the shoulder drained prior to start of the regular season, which caused him to miss the end of the Sixers' preseason schedule, Brothers said.

If any of this true i just don't understand Philly's thought process here, especially considering they shut Embiid and Simmons down.

All it's going to do is kill his confidence even further, that's without going into the physical issues it could cause down the line.

Just sit his ass down, a 19 year old kid isn't going to know what's best for him so they need to do it for him.

It had to have been (or has to be) some sort of injury.

This kid has been playing basketball forever with a decent jumper. Someone doesn't just forget how to shoot/shoot that badly. That being said I think part of it is psychological.

That Jaylen and Tatum duo

safe to say we can put the Ingram/Brown debate to rest. Jaylen > . 19ppg, 6rpg 48%/42%3pt.

and this Daniel Theis guy has been a nice surprise. 11 and 5 tonight with a couple blocks and a 3, I'd never even heard of him before we signed him and he killed it at EuroBasket

He might be looking at the most improved player award if he continues like this. I also think D’Angelo Russell is going to have a great season and Aaron Gordon might break through into legitimacy

Wolves are frauds

Gotta wait and see this season at least. Ingram is really a project. He always was. Would’ve liked to see him gain more muscle during the offseason. He improved a lot on defense though. Looked like our best defensive players during our run against Pelicans.

Jaylen looks really good though. I’d still have picked Ingram over him for the ceiling I think Ingram has. I think Boston’s stability has helped him while our organisation has been a mess and Ingram couldn’t be eased into an established system like they had in Boston.


Kuzma looks the best of all three though. Shoots 80% from 2pt

Hope he keeps starting even when Morris comes back...

Wake up to see AD only played 5 minutes, hopefully he's all right.

Don't worry brah. He's day-to-day

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Wake up to see AD only played 5 minutes, hopefully he's all right.

Think they said there is no structural damage of any sort.

Could just be a knee bruise or something

Unless you're the 76ers medical team, then it's probably a torn MCL/ACL but he can play through it

Seems like he's fine, just a shame really because considering how the game went we probably would have won with him.

Oh well.

Predictions tonight, brothers?

Wolves @ Pistons
Nuggets @ Hornets
Rockets @ 76ers
Cavs @ Nets
Spurs @ Heat
Pacers @ Thunder
Grizzlies @ Mavs
Jazz @ Suns
Raps @ Warriors
Wizards @ Lakers

------------------------------------
Wolves-> smashed last night, can't see them dropping two in a row but they're really a fraudulent team. I can't believe I hyped them for two and a half days before the season started
Nuggets -> West>East. Hornets aren't bad but not really that good either
Rockets-> Still no Chris Paul but still enough to get it done against a 76ers squad that is competitive on their best night but still a long way from being favoured against a team like this, even at home
Cavs-> back to back for both teams. The Bulls actually held Cavs very well despite the big talent difference. LeBron wins this one but if D'Angelo and co. are hitting jumpers then it will be close
Spurs -> No Whiteside, Dragic just returning from injury. I would've probably taken the Heat, who I feel are underrated if both of the previously mentioned were fit. Spurs will get it done
Thunder-> The Pacers obliterated the Wolves yesterday who were without Butler, still remain without Turner themselves. The Thunder should get it done here.
Grizzlies-> I'm surprised to see how well the Grizzlies have began the season but when you have Gasol and Conley, maybe its not that surprising. They should beat the Mavs
Jazz-> No team should lose to the Suns
Warriors-> The Raps are without JV and Nogueira, means Poeltl and Ibaka are the only big men available. DeMar also missed practice yesterday. The Warriors should destroy the Raptors.
Wizards-> back court versus back court. The Warriors have a better back court. They should win (sorry brother @freeza)
