    Wade going to the bench. I agree. Makes sense for the Cavs, Wade and JR. Max K saying he had the best Finals outside of MJ got my abeer coming out. I don't think there was a conspiracy and I think we choked at key moments but even I have to say that there were a lot of bad calls. He should stick to boxing, a little baseball, marijuana advocating and massive SJWing (the first 3 I have no problem with.)

    The team is now blaming their #1 pick for hurting himself and not taking any responsibility for playing him despite an injury. This is turning into a circus. Also, they're 1-3 this season. Off to another bad start and despite everyone salivating over the Simmons/Embiid/Fultz trio, they've not looked like a good unit on the floor. Simmons and Embiid do great things individually, but I'm not certain they're a great fit nor am I certain they're a long-term viable contender.

    i didn't have a problem with it, as long as he doesn't have a problem with getting knocked on his back the next time he comes in the paint.

    Basketball players should have to take at bats in MLB for attitude adjustments needed by some of them.

    Philly reminds me of the maverick in the 90s when they had j Kidd, Jackson, and mashburn. All that talent but can never get it done winning wise

    Well, at least they had Toni Braxton as an excuse. And Philly's biggest problem is getting all their players healthy. The 3 J's didn't have that issue.

    If Fultz is really hurt to the point that he’s not taking threes in games (or even in shootaround before games) and his free throw/shot motion looks like THAT, then Philly has royally screwed up this situation. They treated Simmons and Embiid like fragile precious objects, yet they give Fultz a cortisone shot and throw him out there. Bad look, Philly, bad look, what an awful franchise.

    Why in the world would Fultz change his shooting motion, pre-injury? He had a beautiful shot that was effective (similar to Lonzo). HA HA

    Philly is a mess. They should send us Simmons to save his career.

    Didn't they let Embiid play with a hurt knee last season?

    I think they might've thrown him out there because it would look really embarrassing and humiliating that they drafted 3 high first round picks (Embiid, Simmons, and now perhaps Fultz) that had to be shut down for the first season.

    Noel was the 6th pick in 13 and Okafor was the 3rd in 15. In those 5 seasons, they combined played 246 games, 49 games a year.

    Maybe they’ll try to tank for a shot at the #1 pick again. They are champions at that.

    Mavs finally got a win. Gained the lead and even though the Grizz made a run, ended up taking care of business.

    they look bad, but smith looks really good for a rookie pg. i'm surprised at how clunky the offense has been despite carlisle deliberately sacrificing defense for offense in starting dirk at center and barnes at pf. neither of those guys has been able to really take advantage offensively, and neither rebounds or defends at their respective position well enough to justify the strategy.

    Wasn't his defense a huge part of his game entering the draft?

    ...complaints about a player's shooting mechanics sounded familiar not to mention ironic.
