You want it to be that way so badly, he ate Okafor up, he and Embiid were basically a draw when they were on the court.

The last 2 mins of Embiid icing the game don't matter :mjlol:


I wouldn't say it was a draw. Whiteside had the advantage, not by a whole lot mind you but he was killing them on the glass even when Embiid was out there, but Whiteside is also in his prime while Embiid isn't even 20 games in. 2 years in and Whiteside gonna be Embiid's bytch whenever this matchup happens, as will everyone else. :wow:

Embiid and Whiteside dueling.


The center position is in good hands. :blessed:

Okafor got abused tho

Damn that's beautiful to see. It's early but I'm pissed I didn't lay some money on Embiid for ROY. Knew he'd beast but worried about health.

This same core swept the Raptors. I think they're tired of playing with each other and are no longer motivated. They probably gonna need to blow it up
They should try to move Morris, I don't like him with this roster. How do you think Okafor/Noel would fit with them:patrice:

@FAH1223 @Black @L&HH

Despite the critics Brooks has def been an improvement

"Use the financial power you’ll be blessed with to create a company that can invest in the community, especially the African-American community. And create connections with the many influential people you meet along the way so that you can create a foundation that will empower young people like you to pursue their dreams.

I hate to say it, but in the future, the times will be much more unforgiving. The world will be very challenging place for young African-American kids like you. Not all of them will have role models like your grandfather."

from David Robinson's "Letter to my Younger Self" article in the Players Tribune

just good to hear these brothers showing some sort of support

When I was a wee lad I used to think that Karl Malone's shoulders looked like brown asscheeks.

By the way, Kris Dunn has been god-awful. So much for being the most NBA ready player in the class

Not the right team for Dunn in term of fit. He is on a team that already has 3 young up and coming guys that's ahead of him in terms of touches and shots. He needs the ball in his hands and the freedom to play his game (USG last yr in Providence: 28%, this year 13.6%).
