Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

Bet what? That the Sixers won't make the playoffs? Sure if that's what you want.

They won 10 games last year my dude. You can be as hyped about Ben Simmons as you want, but at the end of day he's still a rookie. And Embiid reportedly won't play back to backs and considering he's been out for two years, will probably be on some type of minutes restriction too.

You gotta crawl before you walk. They're not going from 10 wins to 40+ in a single season. It's not happening. The only team I can think of in the last 10-15 years that had that type of turnaround is the 08 Celtics and I don't think you want to compare their roster to Philly's.

Bucks won less than 20 games and won 41 games this next year in 2014

They went from 15 to 41, less than a 30 win improvement. And 41 wins last year would've gotten you the 10th seed in the East.

Sadly Embiid is fools gold. He wont live up to that dreaded Potential word.

Shame cause he has the best post moves for a Big man since 'Akeem

This just might be the worst starting 5 I've ever seen. I can't name a single player, and I live in Brooklyn

That's not their starting 5 tho....Is it?

The roster as a whole is trash but I'd take Rondae Hollis Jefferson and Jeremy Lin on my team

I hate Dwight as much as the next guy but it's just a photo shoot lol

All the reports were that he was giving Nerlens work last year too, Nerlens is an elite defender.

Noel's giving up 2-3 inches and at least 50 pounds in that matchup though. Embiid is a giant.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I really want to see Embiid in live games this year.

Harden taking his "PG" label serious

Um Jah has more post moves. Jah a fool on that block it's just a shame for as good as he is on offense he's that bad on defense either way the 76ers need to be shipping off Noel but honestly I'd wait for either the right package or wait until Embiid shows how he does in real games.
