I hate it for him and obviously hope he’s okay, but it’s a little morbidly funny that out tiny 38 year old hometown guy comes home, plays 8 minutes, then catches a screaming tomahawk elbow from a 7’ 270lb center to the face. It’s so uniquely Sixers that I can’t help but find humor in it.

I’m sure the medical staff is treating him by stuffing the wound with sesame seeds.

Batum can switch in the two-man game, he also has the length to bother Brunson in his mid-range game once he gets into the paint. I think he's going to play a big role if we ever face the Celtics, where he'll spend a lot of time slowing down Tatum, which seems to be a good matchup on paper.

I'm still waiting for anybody who can bravely call out Nic Nurse for all this mess. :banghead:

Tobias just registered his 1st reb before the 2nd qt clock ran out, and that fell in his hands.

But he can't stay in front of quick guards. The guards just create enough space with their speed to get to their spots before he does.

I can understand him being deployed to slow down any of the Celtics because speed won't play a factor.

I mean, he has a roster full of guards and small guys that mostly are bad/average on defense.

We're gonna be bad on defense and lose rebounds left and right until Joel comes back.

I don't get the Batum thing...period. People on here going crazy because he can make entry passes to Embiid.

He's been completely useless when he's not playing with Embiid.

Well then I guess we must have a fabulous offense though ...

Tobias and Reed at the 4 and 5 are outsized by the double big lineup of Hartenstein and Achiuwa. Plus, the Knicks still have Hart, who also plays like a power forward.

I'm pretty convinced Maxey hates Achiuwa because he was drafted one position ahead of him lol

I hope Batum fouls out, he's not giving us anything anyway

Having to watch both NN and Thib whiny faces on the sideline is enough to turn thus sh*t off added to no one the sixers doing anything except Maxey
