Lose a couple of prelims. Break through and make the granny. Anyone else feel shades of 1996 in the girl's journey?

I look forward to your post-match critique of the flag team next week. 😂

Maxey is him! Super happy for him, there's nothing not to like about him and there's a nice karmic element to Philly rocketing into contention the minute they got the Hardenectomy that Harden made them get. As for James, I think we are watching a narcissistic implosion happening in real time...

I'll also be interested to see whether Embiid actually delivers in the playoffs this year. Bear in mind that Philly has been a bin fire since he got drafted, plus judging a player on their playoff performances whilst they're being coached by Doc Rivers is a big potentially confounding variable...

Mine is still out, and so is my Mum's. That's at 12:50 on Wednesday. Long time lurker posting here in the NBA chat for the first time in ages, as I've only started re-engaging with the NBA since late last year. Was a Spurs fan back in the day, but started following OKC because of Giddey. My...

ALL YOUR PICKS ARE BELONG TO US

Has anyone else thought about him as a KP backman alongside Logue? He's aggressive, tall and a good mark. Especially if McKay leaves, reckon this might be a decent move?

Why? Sheezel was being compared to Nick Daicos after three weeks of his career. And the other guy is Luke McDonald.

I suppose that’s one view of his game yesterday.

Yes! This was coming up the wing where I was sitting and I saw it too. But I didn’t think it was him changing the kick at the last minute, I thought it was like a no look pass type play where his eyes and body were pointing in a different direction to the kick. Me 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Dude is 19 and contributing in our forward line. Inconsistently sure, but small forward in a s**t team is an inherently inconsistent position. There is most of the list to be worried about before being worried about this kid.

Regarding the backline, I think everyone is right. We DID hold up pretty well, 85% of the time. But the 15% is really, really bad. And that's why it's going to be hard to win games consistently with our current backline, because there are too many blokes there who, over each 100 entries, just...

He will. He's come off two bouts of glandular fever. You could see him drop off last week too. It's not a mystery, he just needs more game time and another pre-season. Put your expectations away for the rest of the year. Next year if he gets a decent run at it, he'll start having three like...

He won't be as good as Goldy now, or ever. I suppose I'm asking whether you can see him being not a liability in the short term and possibly a decent level ruckman in the medium term. I thought he was getting better at the level late last year and before the injury.

All the problems we had today will be orders of magnitude improved in 12 months time. Another strong draft and trade period, plus a pre-season will fix the structural problems we keep seeing, being the ability to compete for 120 minutes, which will improve how we get killed on the spread. Plus...
