That shit is a broken record at this pointright on que as usual
Anyway, geat win tonight. I thought for sure Toronto would win this one. The supporting cast finally helped Harden out tonight.
Official NBA 2018-2019 Thread - the end of the regular season is near
Agreed. The bullshit foul calls are indeed a broken record.
Did some research, and it's not easier. It's harder. It's a 12 month injury, and not many basketball players have had it. It's normally older basketball players.
Tony Parker, Charles Barkley and Caron Butler

@ these Harden foul calls.
I hate seeing it.
Dude just flops sometimes and gets the call, because they're close
Yea, I knew someone was tripping a page or two back saying an acl was much worse.
They say it's the worst injury an athlete can get. And he's a big man at that. I think GS was definitely the best place for him to go. People hate on it but it made perfect sense....
Magic shot way better than Ben though. And comparing him to magic is completely useless. Why because the game has completely changed. A guard not being able to shoot in today's NBA is not gonna cut it.....
What does he have to do in the playoffs?
A fuckin ring
welp.....
Actually Magic didn't shoot much better than Ben. He really didn't. He had the Sky hook but that was pretty much it. You can compare the two and I'd go as far as to say Ben's an overall better defender and rebounder than Magic. People get caught up in what everyone else is doing and miss out on what dude brings to the table. Jim Lyman just spoke about that recently.
I disagree pimp as far as comparing them. Magic didn't have to shoot the 3 nor did it matter when he played. And magic would take those jumpers if needed. In today's nba it absolutely matters if a guard can make the three. And Ben doesn't even look to take a jumper let alone a 3. Also the Lakers played at a much faster pace than the Sixers. Showtime Lakers had the league record for offensive efficiency until GS came up; Sixers dont play at that fast of a pace and they aint no where near record for offensive efficiency; I dont think Ben is being utilize totally effectively; I think he would fit better on how New Orleans plays...Actually Magic didn't shoot much better than Ben.

Sixers don't need to play fast when you have a guy like Embiid. That's exactly what Jim Lynam was talking about. Everyone getting caught up in what others are doing as opposed to doing what's best based on your roster. Everyone cant and SHOULD NOT be taking 3's like the Rockets or Warriors. Sixers need to work inside out and they have enough shooters where Ben doesn't need to be even a decent 3 point shooter to be effective. If you ask me, too many niggas are taking 3's who have no business and its fucking up the game giving up layups on the other end leading to all these high ass scores. While I agree Ben needs to shoot more I'm not overly concerned with it. If anything his free throws are what pisses me off the most cause he can get to the basket at will. Nigga needs to hit those.
Repetition and better technique is what he needs. 
I agree that the sixers cant play to fast; I just think to best utilize Ben's talents, they should play faster; they probably cant though; thats why I think that he might have to bounce or he better learn to shoot better; hes gotta be able to shoot playing with Embed; otherwise the Sixers might as well trade him to get something that will fit better; I think he can develop it but it will take a lot of work on his part; and those free throwsSixers don't need to play fast when you have a guy like Embiid.

he could eat good just off of that...
How can you say that when Ben doesn’t shoot?
I didnt say he doesnt shoot; I said he doesnt look to shoot jumpers or 3 pointers; anything outside of 5 maybe 10 ft, he aint shooting it; or he hesitates to take the shot...
No way you trade a 6'10 with court vision like that. You just don't.I agree that the sixers cant play to fast; I just think to best utilize Ben's talents, they should play faster; they probably cant though; thats why I think that he might have to bounce or he better learn to shoot better; hes gotta be able to shoot playing with Embed; otherwise the Sixers might as well trade him to get something that will fit better; I think he can develop it but it will take a lot of work on his part; and those free throws
I agree bro, but man hes gotta learn to shoot better....No way you trade a 6'10 with court vision like that. You just don't.
That can come with time. It's notn like he's been in the league for 7 years. You can't teach his height though. Give him time. Everyone wants a complete package in year 2. It's not gonna happen. He is shooting more and is getting better. He's learning to post up more often as well.

If he beats the Warriors, that will be like winning a ring for Houston
It's gonna be an interesting game Friday when Faried comes back to Denver. I know he's gonna try to show out against yall.
I'll be there in person to see Harden drop 50 and Faried have like a 20-20 game smh. We can't beat y'all. It's been like 8 straight or 9 straight L's.
AD demands a trade. Woj dropped it.
Let’s see what happens
