really kicking myself for not working “Infinity War” into that headline

Eesh those colors! Inaccessible to anyone who’s colorblind.

Did you miss the part where Smart ran at Embiid? I didn’t see Embiid do anything except set a hard screen with a little bit of extra lean. Maybe the 20th or 30th hardest screen of the game.

That was news to me as well. I mean this is pretty damn likable to me

Burbumko and this slouch take any shot to rag on the sixers so don’t be shocked by this

> Simmons is arrogant and confrontational and easy to root against...

Arrogant and confrontational are literally the last two words of use to describe Simmons

Right but that’s only because that’s when he missed those 8 games. He just came off a mild injury. 9 of his last 13 is true, but doesn’t paint an accurate picture of the season as a whole. They have definitely not been mostly Embiid-less by any stretch.

Simmons is arrogant and confrontational and easy to root against, but his takes on current events and world affairs are rock solid.

It’s pretty stunning how badly Colangelo fucked over the Sixers franchise.

You are not completely wrong, he has had one stellar year, but several of the other ones are well above “solid.” In general, the average MLB starter puts up about 2 WAR. 4 WAR is a typical All Star and 6 WAR starts getting you in the MVP discussion (although the presence of Mike Trout in the AL throws off that curve).…

Some points:

I wanted them to sign both, obviously. And Machado is the better of the two players right now, and certainly the more durable of the two.

Good for Philly to have the longest and biggest thing again after Foles left town

13 years? He’ll 39, fat, angry, and with an even bigger beard. Why would Philly want that

I would say Sixto Rodriguez, but it’s pretty clear only people in South Africa remember him.

“For the 76ers ... they’re shooting their shot!”

Goddamn, take your star.

Truth be told, that foul didn’t seem overtly intentional. Embiid was already in the air while Westbrook decided to do a little duck-under move which resulted in the collision. I will say that it look like Embiid gave him a bit of a shove when they were both coming down though...

“Justifiably went after Embiid”....seriously? The hit only happened because Westbrook lost the handle and fell underneath Embiid. It happens, and Westbrook overreacted.
