    Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome sounds like something that George Costanza made up on the fly.

    They finally found a Dr. that found something. If you go to enough of them, one always will.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    I know I talked shit about the sixers and Fultz but I really want to see him recover now.

    Ugh, I hope its all the minutes played that's catching up with Jojo because he got dominated by Serge and V.

    joel looked lost yesterday and he said the same thing after the game but for me, the bigger problem is Simmons.  the guy can't shoot.  I understand that he is a great passer and everything but in today NBA people have to shoot and he just can't.

    He has been very frustrating to me this year. I'm still amazed at the numbers he puts up and all the things he can do without even attempting outside shots....but gosh, dang it---shoot the fucking ball! Even when he's in the paint and has clear paths to the basket or has an opportunity to draw contact and get to the foul line, he's always looking to pass. 

    The other night with Chandler out, they were posting him up much more...using him more as a 4 instead of the pg and he dominated. Still no outside shots, but was really effected around the rim. 

    I think Embiid is a little gassed right now, like JK said. I'd lower his minutes a bit and give him a night off every now and then too.

      right now I have the 76ers as the 4 best team in the east.  they really have no shooters outside of Butler and JJ, they have no bench at all.  so here is the question, as the team is now, what do they need to be in top 3 cause I don't know what they can do.

    I commented after opening night that lack of depth would hurt the Sixers, watching that game last night it was even more evident.

    The bench is razor thin, especially after the 2 for 1 deal for Butler and Fultz going off the reservation.

    They're not done making moves. They will likely add another shooter and another 4 by the deadline. 
    Of the guys they have now, Shamet is an exceptional shooter. He's above league avg with 3's and TS% is just shy of 60%. Nobody knows about him yet. I've been impressed with how confident he looks out there for a late first round rookie. 
    Muscala and Chandler can shoot a bit too,  but they've gotta make another move or two and they will. 

    I'd say its a toss up between the Bucks and Sixers for the 3 and 4 spots right now. Boston's been playing better and likely will be 2nd seed when it's all said and done.

    I don't know if shamet is an exceptional shooter.  he doesn't seem to take alot of shots but its true he is close to 40% 3 point shooter and playing around 20 minutes a game.  the question is if they are going to go for another shooter and another player who do they give up?  is it picks or something else?

    I want the 76ers up there cause I love watching Emblid play.

    Yeah Embiid had an "off night. Ben's performance pissed me off more. He only took like six shots! :anguished: Yeah not bench help. I think we only scored like 18 off the bench. Yeah I agree with you guys, their like a 3rd or 4th seed as of now.

    I just heard this but maybe you guys can confirm it.  Has Simmons not taken a 3 point shot so far in his NBA career?  that can't be true, is it true?

    He's never made one.
    Hasn't attempted one this year, but went 0 for 11 last year plus 0 for 1 in the playoffs.

    And those 11 shots were all buzzer beating half/three quarter court heaves. I don't believe he has ever attempted an actual 3 point shot that wasn't a last second attempt.

    Had an early ass flight yesterday and stayed up to watch the Sixers and Temple/Nova and both teams I wanted to win lost. So that sucked. That is all.

    Why not rest him against that scrub Knicks team last week? He owns Drummond.

    I'm all for rest nights and less minutes/game....but resting him against another potential playoff team doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

    Between him and Fultz, Sixers should just hire a full time psychiatrist.
