    Great shot and a good game overall. I especially liked the way he has played in both these games against Philly.

    The ball didnt get close to touching the rim. It was a clean swish. Makes the shot even sexier.

    Not having a great shooting game (needed 21 shots to score 21 points) including struggling from the charity stripe (5/10..yikes) could have led BI to hesitate on a wide open 3 and drive to the basket instead, flinging up a low percentage shot attempt or worse, running out of time and not even getting an attempt up.

    But this isn't the same BI and I'm happy he's coming around. Dude has restrained his 3ball as of late but when you're wide open and there isn't enough time to attack the rim, you let that MFer fly.

    Like Lonzo, I loved BI's aggressiveness tonight. Yes, he dropped off a bit in terms of percentage after that first half, but still, he kept going hard towards the rim and wow, what a game winner!!

    I kind of changed my tune on this; he's 20, we're rebuilding, and he is experimenting with his game right now.

    He is also going to adjust to different coverages and start developing counter moves and focusing on converting more jump shots.

    That said, it doesn't mean I don't get frustrated with him, but we are witnessing positive results; we just have to be patient; admittedly, that is hard for me to do; but I like the progress so far.

    So Holmes (?) gets a foul call with Nance playing him straight up while Ingram is bumped throwing him off balance on his shot where refs swallow their whistles?

    Oh and liked that no look pass to Randle for the flush on Embiid.

    I wish Reggie would just shut up sometimes. Harlans call was magnificent

    He's getting good. Just wait until that outside shot is automatic. No defending him.

    The refereeing down the stretch was atrocious. That Holmes kid was in the paint for 12 seconds, traveled, initiated contact, and he gets the foul? Seriously? Meanwhile a play later, Larry Nance gets tied up inside and it's a jumpball? F*** that.

    I love seeing him developing into this driving force. He went around Luwawu like Luwawu wasn't there. He's also discovering the same dunk that Kobe loved at this age. With Ingram's length, his ablity to get to other side of the rim should be something he utilizes a lot.

    Yeah. Seen that. He also said that he didn't play as bad as his stats indicated.

    That drive and dish, the skip pass, are what need need to see more of; a pull up-jumper; and better spot-up shooting. But he's 20, so we have time.

    It’s like 20 year olds have room to grow and get better or something.
