Roco has really surprised me...love his game and he seems to be the perfect fit for this team and the modern nba.

Simmons got a few blocks too which is nice to see.
Wish they kept bolden, he would fit in perfectly.

My heart would pay him the max, but my head hopes that they agreed to the extension $ prior to the season starting.
He's leading the entire goddamn league in 3-pt% amongst all players that have shot 50+ from beyond the arc.
Zu loved that JJ 3.
They'll bring him over next year you'd think. I could see Dario being moved within the next 12 months, think we'll find that Bolden fits much better with how we play with Ben/JoJo and eventually Markelle.
No Embiid tomorrow, that sucks, kinda kills our momentum we've been building now we're going into that game basically expecting a loss and was excited for Embiid v Gobert. Oh well, should be fresh to dump on Sac the game after.
No Bayless either.
No Bayless either.
It really warms my heart seeing him excited calling the Sixers games again. Not many people deserve to be enjoying the way we play more than Zu.
Bayless out indefinitely with that wrist problem. We're starting to become pretty thing at the guard spot, enter Nik Stauskas!
Expecting an amputation based off our medical staff..
Anderson TLC TJ more minutes now.. would like to see some burn for stauskas and potentially Korkmaz as well.. he can do the role bayless was providing (shooting and matador Defence)

Awesome win. Now 6-4. Ben was good even with his poor shooting. Was impressed with his defense today. Had a few blocks and made them take tough shots over the top of him.
Shame we blew that Rockets game, could have been a nice 7 game win streak. Getting wins without Embiid is critical for our playoff chances.
Being 6-4 with our schedule so far looks really excellent.. we are so much deeper this year loving the play.. Simmons didn't play that great and we still got the W which is great sign of our depth
Bodes well for Brett too and I'm really happy for him, he's put up with a lot of shit the last 4 years and you can tell they love playing for him.

Been following this team for about a decade, and can comfortably say this is easily the best side in that time.
Which is exactly as depressing as it sounds, although I'll take the positive spin here because this doesn't feel like a fake good side, but something that could be legitimately great.
Am sure the basketball gods are feeling great schadenfreude at me having to spend my uni years deep in the Process, Henry Sims, lineups.

I've been following this team for about 3 weeks
I feel unrealistic expectations are being set!!

Great game notwithstanding, it'd have to be a reeealllyyy good offer to part with Dario. Too good of a contract, especially if we end up paying some a max in the summer.
Plus, how could you not want to see an interview with Dario at the end of Broad St when the Sixers do their Championship parade?
These will never not be the greatest.
I certainly hope he sticks around, love me some Dario. Think we'll get a better look at that stuff when Fultz is ready for a starting role, think Dario will move back to the bench and he's always struggled coming from the bench.

Another loss that should've been a win. We blew that big time.
Embiid needed to kick that ball out after getting that rebound with 20 odd seconds to go. Probably would've won if he did so.
Also would've won if Ben didn't get a soft 4th foul. Refs are pretty hopeless this season so far.

Really thought we'd blown that after going down 6, had the hallmarks of a typical Sixer collapse. Good shit to right the ship and win. 36mins for JoJo too.

Needed a big Embiid game for the culture. Needed a big Covington game for the soul.

That was a really fun game.
Poor 3pt shooting by Philly but overall really open game, both teams had a chance to win it, some huge post plays on both sides, some great trick shots/alley-oops etc. - even if we lost it was very enjoyable.
But to get the win in the fashion they did was tremendous - rectifying the mistakes of the Kings game.
Some thoughts:
1. Called the timeout when up 1 point late in the game (as opposed to playing it out against Sacramento).
2. Embiid was a beast. Great minutes, great inside play, great rebounding. Griffin had some nice outside plays but Jo the clearly best big man tonight.
3. However, Embiid missed 4 FT in the fourth quarter, which is unacceptable.
4. Super quiet night for Dario. Should probably have taken a shot when he passed out to Covington for that big 3, which is fine because RoCo is clutch, but was an interesting thing to note. Was nice to have a win without Saric or Redick needing to do much.
5. Simmons seems to be finding out more and more about his own ability at this level. The backwards alley-oop, the recovery board after Embiid missed 2 FTs in the fourth, the great defending - what a talent!
7-6 with the Lakers to come. Hopefully a winning record on this West Coast run - would be a great effort

I hope RoCo gets a fat contract.
