    I think an alien has inhabited his body. That's probably the likeliest reason for this whole thing. 
    Now you're thinking logically.

    Sixers confirm Markelle Fultz visit to Kentucky was to visit specialist Dr. Ben Kibler, who will reevaluate him again in three weeks.

    Nice win on Saturday but Jojo was spending too much time at the 3pt line again at the start of the 2nd half when all they had to guard him was Dirk. Post up big fella.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    After Rockets, next 4 games are against teams without a winning record.


    It gets tougher after that but what schedule are you looking at? They don't play the Spurs until January....

    Well I guess I'm an idiot. I have the schedule on my wall and read left to right going from Oct to Jan instead of reading down from Oct to Nov. Whoops.

    Simmons could be the best player in the league if that shot ever develops. 

    7 games, 5 of which against playoff teams and they start 3-4....could easily be 5-2. Not a bad start.

    Nice to see him starting to take those foul line jumpers.

    how many triple doubles does he have?  I know definitely one, and he's come close a few other times.

    One but he's been close a few other times, yeah.

    Missing 2 free throws at the end of games cannot happen though. He'll get better there.


    So giddy watching both him and Jojo out there together. Saw some other stat that Embiid is one of like two other players in the history of the game to put up the numbers he put up last night in only 25 minutes of play. Sixers have two monsters in their lineup right now.

    Real nice win last night in Houston. 

    Like someone said: was nice to see Simmons hit those Jump shots. If he starts hitting those shots?>LOOKOUT NBA. Though, at 6' 10" with his handle & the way he gets to the basket, he's gonna score. His FT shot looks like a slider coming out of his hand. I think he'll get better.

    Okafor days are numbered?




    Report: Okafor may pursue buyout after 76ers decline 4th-year option

    by Victoria Nguyen 1h ago
    Bill Streicher / USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

    With the writing on the wall, Jahlil Okafor may want to accelerate his departure.

    The Philadelphia 76ers center could push for a contract buyout after the club opted not to pick up his fourth-year option, league sources told The New York Times' Marc Stein.

    The team has been trying to trade the 21-year-old since last season and was still exploring trade possibilities ahead of Tuesday's deadline before ultimately declining his fourth-year option, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    While Philadelphia hasn't pulled the trigger on a swap involving the No. 3 overall pick in 2015, Stein's sources indicated Okafor is convinced "workable" deals have presented themselves.

    That, plus the lack of opportunity afforded to the former Duke Blue Devil in Philadelphia, makes it clear why he'd consider a buyout.

    Okafor has largely fallen out of the rotation, receiving limited burn behind Joel EmbiidAmir Johnson, and Dario Saric. He suited up in one of the team's four games this year, posting 10 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks in 22 minutes when Embiid sat out.

    Declining the option will save the Sixers $6.3 million in cap space in 2018-19, and make Okafor an unrestricted free agent in July. They could re-sign him after the campaign, but that seems unlikely.

    Okafor showing some real class, here.
