Oddly enough out of that 2016 draft Ingram seems to be the best suited today to play the role the Sixers need.

Can play make for others, Can go on on one & get a good shot off most of the time & seems to have consistently knock down the three

I was team Ingram prior to us getting the #1 pick. Felt like BI and Jah could fit THEN plus add some shooters lol then Embiid got healthy and yea now we’re here

Paper Tiger...

Record will be nice out East but without Aron Baynes they're doomed for a 2nd round exit.

I'm def not knocking the sixers for it most people had Simmons as the better player, but it is quite funny that Ingram's skillset seems to be what the sixers need Simmons to do more of right now.

Him & embiid just clash too much

Simmons & O'connor have now crowned Luka a top 10 player in the league, simmons going as far as saying Luka is better than Dame... this is the exact kind of **** i'm talking about :lol:

10 games of a regular season where a guy is playing well suddenly eclipses years of consistency & playoff runs for some of these guys... and these are people who get MVP votes. :lol:

On something completely underrated for as "easy" the Lakers schedule looked to be on paper before the season, as of now they've played the 6th hardest strength of schedule thus far.

So to go 9-2 while still trying to establish Chemistry between your two Superstars, brand new coach, half a dozen ne players in the rotation & to be missing your third best scorer for half of it. Pretty damn good start & nobody on our team is doing anything that has been an outlier or something that will surely drop off.

You don't need to do something for a long time for someone to objectively realize how good you are at it

Not after last night's game against the Wizards in which zero defense was played on either end. :lol:

Their defensive rating plummeted from top 5 to 13th and their offensive rating shot up from 5th or 6th to 1st. It's still early enough in the season that these numbers are really volatile.

Relying on Kanter and Poirier to play interior defense as opposed to Theis and Bob messed them up.

You do when your being compared to players who have had stretches where they played just as well if not better than you, and they have done it for longer & proved it on much more difficult stages.

But again this happens with a new flavor of the month every year, then when the public starts to hold them to standards & expectations of top 10 players... suddenly people want to bring up inexperience & youth & use it as a crutch.
 
Luka is averaging 28/10/9 and shooting 49% from the field on a winning (for now) basketball team. That’s good for 5th in the league in scoring, 13th in rebounds, and 2nd in assists.

Are there really 10+ guys playing better than that in the league RIGHT NOW?
 
Has Lonzo always been injury prone or did playing in the NBA in cardboard shoes ruin him?

Remember the podcast when Bill had Jayson Tatum as a top 25 player after the 2018 playoffs? Dude is a reactionary homer when it comes to basketball
