gametime Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Think I'm all in on my man Joel Embiid and the 76ers. They aren't all the way there yet, but it's coming. Plus the big fella is hilarious and a social media master... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIPTON BASH Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This draft is huge for them. They need backcourt help big time. But they are fun to watch on League Pass right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack The Knife Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Been a 76ers fan since the days of Wilt, Hal Greer, and Billy C. (I was 9). Get a guard in this draft and next year have the Lakers first round pick (if they don't get this year's top 3 protected pick. Plus, I already bought my Embiid shirt in early November.

ggclfan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I want the Celtics-Sixers rivalry to actually mean something again. Both teams seem to be on the right track to make that happen again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnottieDrippen Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Historically great nickname, even if he came up with it. Playing at an All-NBA level. It's been a couple years since I drunkenly told someone at a bar the Sixers would be contenders for a title by the end of the decade. They're well on their way and I look intelligent to a stranger. Yay me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerTime Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 @ESPNNBA The @Sixers announce Joel Embiid is out indefinitely with swelling in his left knee. He'll undergo an MRI Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I hope this isn't one of those what could have been stories. He can't even stay healthy for 40 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a "he's better than advertised and we're not risking a mid-1st draft pick or an injury just so he can win ROY" story. I really think they put him on the Stephen Strasburg plan and decided it was time to shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Simmons and Embid and an elite guard in the draft and this is a playoff team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I really think they put him on the Stephen Strasburg plan and decided it was time to shut him down. I think the injury is something but I'm in agreement that it is probably preventative, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Simmons and Embid and an elite guard in the draft and this is a playoff team next year. And hope that Laker ping pong ball lands outside the Top 3.

P_G Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Makelle looked pretty good last night in the win to clench a playoff berth. 10 on 5-13, 8, 4 in 14 minutes off the bench. No FT or 3 attempts but a couple pull-up jumpers had the internet buzzing briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
