    2nd best starting 5?

    i’ll take Irving, jb; tates, mm, and al

    and butler played to his average

    and the bench is terrible

    didn’t one of them run the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch a few years ago?
    the only way the Celts starting 5 competes with the Sixers current starting 5 is because your coach is better.

    and yes the bench is terrible.

    And maybe because of defense.

    No way man. Celtics only have one player with a +20 per on their team. Sixers have three of them in their starting lineup. I'll take your bench over ours but no chance I'm taking your starting five. 

    Last year, yes of course. This year? We've replaced Covington and Saric with two borderline all stars....to go along with the two all stars we already had.

    You need depth on the bench, just ask Lebron.
  • 8-5 in this murderers row of a stretch and still in the same spot they were when they started. Last month of the season is a cake walk compared to what they just went through. This team's gonna be fine, folks. 
    If they don't learn to gel together they won't make it past the second round.
    Did you expect them to gel completely together in 5 days with time for only one practice? Ha. 

    They're 2-1 with one of those wins against the team with the second best record in the league. And they look way more cohesive than I imagined this soon. That wasn't the problem last night. Embiid just didn't play well. 
    Simmons and Embiid are together for their second year now.  Those two run together well.

    Butler added I think is great but something is off, hence why they don't play as well against 500 teams.

    Jojo can't be shooting 8 3's. He needs to move the ball.

    The Celtics are 10-12 against 500+ teams. Check out my response to you in the NBA thread. That stat isn't helping your argument. 

    And, actually, some would say Simmons and Embiid aren't the best fit due to Simmons' reluctance to shoot jumpers.

    I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean here.

    You're now citing LeBron, who plays the finals every year, about why we need depth on the bench.....

    The argument was that we have the best starting five outside of Golden State. I know the bench isn't ideal. But you can live with it with a starting five as good as the Sixers'.

    Citing LeBron because he couldn't do it himself.  He needed some help.  That is what I mean.

    Not everyone is built to play all these minutes throughout the season and into the playoffs.

    I have it in my head but am having a hard time explaining without writing a novel, sorry.

    So if you're Elton Brand coming in as the gm, you have the option of keeping the same team as last year with Dario and Covington and adding depth and hoping that's good enough.

    Or the other option is you cash in your process chips and upgrade those two guys with all star caliber players (two enormous upgrades) to give yourself a super team with, arguably the second best starting five in the whole league, while sacrificing some bench depth.

    I think he chose wisely. 


    And they're 11-9 vs +500 teams since the Butler trade, including 2-1 since the Harris trade FWIW

    Still like Philly as a team but the disturbing stat is that they are what 1-7 vs the Raptors, Celtics and Bucks.  
  • fifefife Posts: 3,327
    The advantage that Philly has is that right now they have 5 easiest remaining schedule while Boston has the 7th hardest schedule.

    Absolutely They gotta learn how to beat those specific teams. Almost get the sense that it's in their heads at this point. Have to exercise those demons.

    As long as they can avoid those 3 teams in the playoffs, they are a lock for the NBA finals.

    Kinda funny how they have all these NBA legends...Shaq, C Webb, Baron Davis, McHale, and then they have Jim f’n Jackson lol. Where did he come from? Guy played on 12-13 various teams, was actually pretty good in the early 90’s when he first came into the league. But he was mainly just a role player at best post 2000 from what I remember.

    Jim Jackson's claim to fame is ruining the Dallas Mavericks coming up by taking Jason Kid's GF Toni Braxton away from him and the team trading him away because of it.

    Kid denies it but hey, why say it isn't true 20 years later and not when it happened?

    Just like the Boston announcers earlier in the year that didn't care if an opposing player was injured as long as Kyrie was ok after a collision.

    I didn't, only watch them when your team is getting beaten by the Celtics or if its a national game like last Sunday against the LA LeBrons, but the video of the Embiid super leap was going viral, including being linked here on this thread.
    I laughed when the knuckleheads said it was a better hurdle than anything Renaldo Nehemiah ever did, but the "Jojo don't get hurt, that's all I'm concerned about, not that I have total disregard for all the fans and the coworkers" I didn't find as amusing.
