great win, nice to see them respond and show poise under pressure.

t.j. balling, Ben balling, embiid balling ( besides the dribble driving).
 
3-4.

Sixers - 115, Rockets - 107.

Glad to see we're learning. And that Ben and Joel are making their All-Star cases early. And that Amir Johnson's carcass still has a piece of game left in it. If only Dario can join us now.

Next up: Wednesday vs. Atlanta. Let's finally get a home W, and back to .500.

4-4.

Sixers - 119, Hawks - 109.

Finally at .500. Finally, a home win. First time in four years we've been at this mark more than 2 games into the season. First three game winning streak in almost two years.

Small gains, but TRUST THE PROCESS. Joel with career-highs in minutes. They look solid out there. C'mon Dario, catch up! Now that we know Jah is gone, you gotta pick up the slack. Nice game, Cov. He's really becoming the best wing player player Philly has. This team has great ball movement on O, some times too great where they pass up open shots.

Ben Simmons.....19, 13, and 9. This is some special shit we're watching.

Up next: Friday vs. Indiana.

5-4.

Sixers - 121, Pacers - 110.

Wow! What a good game that was. Even with Joel's mental lapses with the dumb fouls (that flagrant was especially stupid) and missed dunks, they found a way to beat a tough Pacers team. That was a character-building win. Their D stepped up in the end to close out, and JJ Redick (who shall be renamed 23Ms - thanks @"Nah Son") was throwing up FLAMES out there. Not to mention Ben got his 2nd career triple-double.

Welcome back Richaun Holmes. Amir's minutes will be yours in no time. Even Dario had a great start, finishing with 15 points. Looks like Coach Brett got the young boys believing in themselves.

This is a different Sixers team, and we're starting to see some of the potential finally come out. Now, they got a five game West Coast trip. Let's see how they act.

Next up: Tuesday @ Utah.

Philly and Boston are on a collision course for that east throne, I would like to get it started this year in a first or second round matchup, shit even the ecf isn’t out of the realms, it will be Boston or Bron coming out the east this year but Boston and Philly are about to revive that historic rivalry and will be battling it out for years to come
 
with the bledsoe deal done.

would you trade jabari parker for Dario straight up?

parker gives you what you need Dario to do, shoot, rebound and hold down the position with roco and embiid defensively.
 
I mean....the Sixers have invested like three years in Dario. He's not a bad player. He just needs to learn to work from the inside out.

But if Jabari Parker came along and can provide more of a mid-range threat, I wouldn't turn it away. It's at least worth a listen.
 
I would trade Dario for Parker. Because Parker has a better perimeter game. I don't like Dario at the perimeter he's a beast from the baseline and has good low post moves. He is shooting way to many 3's. But if we got Parker in definitely drafting a stretch 4 first round next year because he is injury prone.
 
6-4.

Sixers - 104, Jazz - 97.

Great road win, especially without Joel. Dario finally showed up! 25 and a season high. Ben is a LEADER out there. I'm telling you, Ben and Joel got early stages of Magic and Kareem in them. Add to that guys like RoCo, and Holmes with 23Ms doin mercenary work out there....40 wins is definitely a possibility this year.

I'm with this shit. I also love how the city has the Sixers and Eagles behind each other. Dope stuff.

Next up: Thursday @ Sacramento.

lmao what makes yall think bucks would trade parker for Dario straight up?

I don't think it's that much of a reach. Jabari is clearly the better player and has a higher ceiling but he can't stay healthy and the bucks are probably going to have to pay him close to max of they want to retain him. Maybe they don't want to commit to him long term who knows. Dario is a solid prospect and has a couple years left on his rookie deal which is great. He kind of gets lost in the mix and flys under the radar in Philly but dude can play

I don't really like the fit for Jabari in Philly tho Interested to see how it plays out with him and the Bucks. Most likely ends up re signing but I think there's a slight chance they move him at they deadline for the right price.

yeah, if the bucks wanna make a run now their gonna need that cap space this off-season. Parker shouldn't get the rookie max, but embiid did so idk.....
 
6-5.

Kings - 109, Sixers - 108.

This loss shouldn't have happened, but I hope someone learns something. For three quarters, it seemed like no one wanted to play defense, and they played down to the Kings. Joel finally came alive in the fourth, but the Sixers ended up in a fight with a Kings team that they never should've been in.

And once again, they blew a late game lead, up by six with 1:30 left, they led Sacramento go on a 7-0 run to end the game, capped off by terrible shot by Joel to end the game. Yeah, Joel had 24 and 15, but those two late game plays - getting blocked by Culley-Stein after his rebound instead of kicking it out, and that bad jumper on that last possession - was the game. I see so many holes in Joel's post play. Like I said, as good as he can be sometimes, he needs to get at Hakeem next summer and learn how to drive and move in the paint much better.

Ben was real efficient, scoring 18 on 6/8 shooting, but why didn't he run the offense in the guts of the game? I don't know what Coach Brown was was doing, but they need to re-evaluate that goin forward.

One last thing: lost in the all the Ben and Joel talk, barely anyone is giving props to Robert Covington. That dude is making shit happen everywhere on the floor, and leads the league in 3PT shooting % at 50.0% even. He's out there balling consistently. Hope he keeps this up. He'd be a real choice for the Most Improved Player award.

Yep. Makes perfect sense. Get him now locked up before the market get a whiff of him.

*PSIghs* This is one of those losses that you just SYH at, cause that was a real change to establish some position in the conference.

Next up: Saturday @ Golden State.

Warriors - 135, Sixers - 114.

Welp...that game lasted two and a half quarters. Sounds about right.

Man, did the Dubs make everyone look stupid out there. Especially Joel. TOs EVERYWHERE (7 on the night). Guess dude needs to back that Twitter shit down for a minute, and work on his post game, cause he looks bad right now.

I understand they're going to get home cooking from the refs. They ARE the champs. But, when you're a young-ass team playing them at their house, you have to know this shit, and know not to play for the whistles. SO MANY bad shots were thrown up on the hopes they'd get a foul for it. And some of those complaints were legit (blown calls on JJ and TJ especially).

FUCK THAT. Play through them shits. They need to stop playing to be pretty and just rock out there. 1-2 on this road trip now. Let's see what happens in LA next week.

Up next: Monday @ LA Clippers.
