    I'd say the difference there is Kyrie played out his contract and was capable of deciding exactly where he went next. Looks like Ben's gonna be waiting until 2025.
    Right. This is a very different situation than what we had here in Boston with Kyrie.

    What I meant was nobody wanted to play w Kyrie he wasn’t a good fit after a while.

    It was more of Kyrie didn't want to play with the young guys and felt disrespected by the attention they were getting.
    It wasn't the other guys on the team not wanting to play with Kyrie. It was all Kyrie.
    There was a game in Orlando when the Celts had the ball down 2 with a few seconds left and the inbounds pass went to Tatum for the last shot and Kyrie was standing outside the 3-point line expecting the ball would naturally go to him. I think that was the day he decided he was leaving Boston. His body language was telling.

    Watch the very end of the clip the angle from the opposite basket where Kyrie throws his arms out in disgust after the inbounds pass, before Tatum even shoots.

    A month later he was spotted at the All Star game talking to KD in the infamous "2 max slots" discussion which led to them teaming up on the Nets.
    Kyrie didn't feel he got the respect/reverence he deserved in Boston from his younger teammates (and probably Stevens as well).

    A point guard who’s put in the work to improve his game. What a concept.

    The kid is good.
    It's unfortunate that the Celtics pregame meal was nothing but turnovers, what a horrible showing.

    I wanted Embiid to break the record, but at the same time it’s kind of neat that he’s now sharing it with Wilt and AI. Quite the trio. 

    It’s so amazing how you can see exactly what Embiid has been practicing from year to year based on his play. Last year it was the ridiculous mid-range game. This year it’s his passing and overall point guard skills. The way he has been going coast-to-coast or even running the offense in the half court has been really special to watch.

    Oh, and the crossovers have been sick as well.

    Record would've been cool.....sitting him the entire 4th and being rested for tonight and a win would've been better. Gonna be a tough one tonight. 

    Yeah it's nice to share it with Wilt and AI but I wouldn't be surprised if he'll end up being the only Sixer to do it twice at some point though...


    21-9 w/a non Covid infected JOJO. That's a 57 win team when healthy. TTP....

    Did someone say 3-point shooting is improved by practicing? Crazy.

    I'm gonna jinx this game probably, but this team is absolutely rolling right now.

    Joel “Mr. Big Choke” Embiid

    -returns to game with 8:41 remaining, Sixers up 2 on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back against the 2nd best team in the east

    -goes for 13 points on 5/6 shooting in the 4th, Sixers win by 11

    I’m just bummed that he played so well that he didn’t get the chance to take a buzzer beater, to prove he’s clutch. 

    At least he’s funny though.

    ...Matisse, Green, and Shake out as well.

    This may have beat out the Nets game for best win of the year.

    Ah, yes he is hilarious. That is clearly why we like him. Man, he just took that game over in the 2nd half, didn't he? Absolute Beast. Probably has played his way back into the MVP talk since he's come back. 



    SO....minus our "all star" point guard who cannot shoot, at the halfway point in the season and we are 2.5 games out of the 1 seed and winning about 70% of the games a non Covid Embiid plays in. Not too shabby, folks.

    Hield, Haliburton, Barnes, and a first for Ben and Tobias? Pompey was saying 2 firsts and Thybulle but I don't want to lose him at this point. Maybe you toss in Shake or just take one first. 

    That is something that might be doable for me...

    So fucking good.

    This guy said (re: Ben), "man, Im done talking about that guy unless he wants to be here and play. Otherwise I'm gonna take this team on my back." And that's exactly what he's gone on to do. It's amazing.

    Couldn’t get 10 bucks a pop for my tickets tonight so decided to just go. Best no sell ever.

    Just saw that in less than 28 minutes Embiid averaged 1.85 points per minute. Kobe averaged 1.92 in his 81 point game.

    And did I mention the comedic chops on this guy!!!

    A few updates:

    8th most points per minute in a game ever (minimum 25 minutes played. Go figure, he almost didn’t qualify)

    Fewest amount of minutes played in a 50+ point, 10+ rebound game in the shot clock era.
