When you have Muscala at the 5, the only way you can win is play as fast as the Pacers and pray that your 3s go in.

Wizards are a joke, but we still need to dominate such matchups and build our record.

Interesting stat - all our 15 players have scored. I don't know if I ever saw that before. :)

Do you think Harris misses Harden? With Harden on the team all Tobi had to do was sit in the corner and hit 3's. But then there was a complaint that Tobi was not being used properly. Be careful what you wish/ask for.
The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !

Bring on the draft

Tobi is in his own head now. When he played well for stretches it was always him not thinking too much and just relying on his instincts.
Now he also has to share his touches with 3 more forwards who overall he's better than but doesn't do things better than.
Batum- Playmaking /3pt shooter
Oubre- Athlete/Finishing/Slashing
Covington- Defending/Reb

He only played 30 mins which seems about right. No need for him to play over 30mins per game with the amount of depth we have and him not making a huge impact on either end

Tobias always goes through stretches of bad play, then he will start to string together is quietly good games, and then come playoff time he will be "fine" until our other players **** the bed and he isn't able to be more than fine.

Its the Tobi cycle at this point

We don't need Tobias ... A big wing/Guard who can handle would be nice.

I think Tobias is here until his contract is up. We aren't trading him. He is what he is at this point. When the game is tight against the Spurs or Trailblazers you can count on the guy to hit a big shot for us. He's always shrank in bigger more competitive games and that's just the way it is. Right now he's in a slump, he'll come out of it eventually. It's hard to dislike Tobias, but it's easy to hate his contract.

He's an assassin when we don't need one. He's CheddarBob from 8 Mile when we need him to hit a shot in a meaningful game for us. Other times he's Plaxico Burress.

I think Ben Simmons is the guy Embiid and Maxey wants as the third guy here.

Ben is constantly injured. Just unreliable all the way around.
