The debate versus Tatum/Simmons is over.

Last night Simmons was a clown in the final minutes where as Siakam put the game away like a superstar with an And 1 and then a steal....

simmons went Chris childs

It dont even matter whos better right now were 16 games into a season lol.

Its the notion that the Sixers "COULD" win a series based on them losing a game to a team seriously undermanned is jokes.

Its such a Fox sports 1 type of hot take cuz it gives no real credit where it belongs...Raps put the boots to these nikkas without Lowry/Ibaka.

I gave the Raps credit. They’re better than the Sixers right now. But as you said, we’re 16 games in. Not too much can be taken this early in the season. Which is why I said I still think the Sixers can beat the Raps despite the loss. I’m not basing that off this game, I’m basing it on the level of talent the Sixers have. Maybe they’ll reach that potential this year maybe they won’t :yeshrug: But my point was, I wasn’t gonna let a game this early in the season change my view of them.

Fox Sports hot take though lol. At least it wasn’t ESPN

Josh Richardson balled out again tho
J-Rich aint gonna be a superstar but he's a damn good young player. Just that he can be streaky at times.

He was the Miami Heat's little secret the last 3 years. Many of my fellow Heat fans hoping Bustise Winslow will develop into a star because he has such a high ceiling often overlooked how Josh thrived at everything we asked him to do. Wether it's being a defender or a scorer the kid just worked hard and did well when you consider dude was a 2nd round pick who many thought would go undrafted. I love the kid's game even tho we're better without him with our new wing players. Didnt wanna trade him for Jimmy but looking at it now he wouldnt have fit in well with the current roster. Just to much redundancy.

BTW im only bringing up Winslow because they were drafted together. My fellow Heat fans who are Winslow stans hate when i compare the two :pachaha:

You do realize Toronto was missing 2 starters...You realize how funny this shyt is,you think they can beat the Raptors based off a game they won without 2 starters.


Some nikkas had Toronto missing the playoffs and now you think Philly can win a series against us lol...
I honestly thought they would, nikkas making me eat my words

HES GOTTEN OFF ON HORFORD
PLENTY OF TIMES.

BAYNES WAS THE CELTIC WHO GAVE HIM PROBLEMS.

GASOL COMPLETELY OWNS HIM.

HE CANT DO shyt AGAINST BIGS
HE CANT BULLY.

GASOLS DEFENSE WAS AS BIG OF A FACTOR
AS KAWHIS OFFENSE IN THAT SERIES.
:devil:
:evil:

Or if he can’t throw them off mentally embid lives off that

Embiid is Marc Gasols son :wow:

This chart shows Embiid's points per 100 possessions when he was guarded by different players who have have matched up with him for at least 50 possessions over the last three seasons (regular season and playoffs combined).

Marc Gasol has matched up with Embiiid on 317 possessions over the last three seasons and has held Embiid to 21.4 points per 100 possessions. For reference, Embiid's career average is 37.5 points per 100 possessions.

He also threw the ball away,hes just not a guy who can win games for you...

Siakam is a guy whos showing he can take over games...
Truth is Siakam been taking over games since that regular season road win we had versus the Bucks last year where he played the whole second half and brought us from down ten to winning by double digits. Not to mention game 1 and game 6 of the finals...

As predicted the national US media (i.e First Take) not a single mention why Embiid was shut down. It's like these clowns don't watch sports when it is their JOB. No mention of last year's series or the historical matchup advantage that Gasol has. No mention of the stifling defense this team has been playing all year.

Kellerman made the argument/spinned that the Sixers should actually be optimistic because they only lost by two possessions with Embiid having zero points. No mention of Raptors shut down defense and the absence of Ibaka and Lowry. These sports "analysts" never learn. LOL These takes for so-called professionals are similar to casuals. So no Kwahi = Raptors are bottom feeders. Unbelievable.
