Funny, I was thinking it was a good sign that all the guys are good friends with each other, but you’re probably right that in the long run, being a me-first gimme gimme type of guy is probably more important to long-term success in the NBA.

Indeed sir! Now let’s saunter off to the badminton pitch and with the other fancy lads and enjoy a good civilized game!

If ever there was a perfect time for an E-C-DUB chant...

Considering that (1) Ben Simmons didn’t have anything to do with the previous lack of success of the Sixers, (2) the Sixers are a half game back of the three seed in their conference and are third in net rating, and (3) the Hawks are objectively bad this season, I don’t think there’s an issue with Simmons talking some…

Apparently he watches the watchmen.

You sure? He was born in Philadelphia, went to high school in Philadelphia, and I have never once heard him referred to as being from anywhere but Philadelphia.

Lowry would kill him (or die tryin), he doesn’t play in philly, he’s from there tho

He’s the millenial version of Eli Manning

Ronda and Floyd? They have beef don’t they?

I’ve reread this three times trying to figure out if you think Geno Smith went to Western Michigan. You don’t say it, but then what is the relevance of Western Michigan to your buddy’s opinion otherwise? Why not say “My good friend has great dental hygiene and has been saying FOR YEARS...”? Baffling.

well he sure as hell cant go on the defensive amirite

Something tells me when push comes to shove, if the 76ers are lucky enough to be in that situation, NBA players will still accept millions of dollars a year to be the 7th and 8th guys on the depth chart if it means winning on a championship on the back of a Simmons/Embiid pair.

Still probably a top-three all-time Okafor.

I hope Carmelo Anthony drops 76 points on them in his home opener.

You may laugh, but that single fly is all the sustenance that Collinsworth needs for ten more years in the booth. If he ever catches a small bird or rodent we may never see the end of him.

To be fair, you can’t expect a female to know the most efficient route out of the stadium.

The Gold Cup? Oh, you mean the 637th most important soccer tournament in the world?

I’m rooting for Nate Diaz with the chair to knock them both out.

My nephew Washing Machine makes weird noises and is clearly unbalanced.
