      I think what he was saying is that the Sixers will get better and close the gap because they are a tall team that he thinks can defend against Philly.
      Basically, he underestimates everyone outside of Giannis on the team. He underestimates Giannis a bit too, of course.

If you choke you choke and that's what the 76er's have done these past two season's (had 4 all-star starters last year). Giannis won MVP, he didn't chase it. If he can put down 35 on 20-25 minutes he's obliviously not chasing too hard, just getting good.
      Injury prevention is one thing, but when Giannis is averaging as many minutes as Khawi (31.7 mpg vs 31.2 mpg) a load management spear header, it just shows Giannis is more efficient than almost anyone in the league.
      Embid is also averaging a whopping 1 mpg less than Giannis but 9 ppg less*

      Luka isn’t playing “way better” than LeBron. he has a MUCH higher usage rate, is less efficient, averaging less assists, plays worse defense, takes more shots, and more FTs. that’s why he had a higher scoring average. and if you think his uncontested rebounds matter, they don’t.

    At least they walk about something else other than LeBron/Lakers.

      @Sean Legghette sorry for the typos.
      And to your point (and mine), that's exactly what I'm talking about. The fact that you can say definitively that it's been 4 days without a Lebron/Lakers topic (which I'm somewhat doubtful of) is telling. No way could I tell you how long it's been since they've had a segment on the SAS.
      TLDR: They over use Lebron/Lakers topic and I'm glad they've dialed it down.

    Did molly just say “then he(Joel Embiid) dropped 33 the next game.. I think In Toronto” Are you kidding me Molly? Toronto held him to 0 points. She has no clue what she’s ever talking about. What an embarrassment😑@1:55

    Im a Derrick Rose fan (so this season im also a pistons fan) and Milwaukee Bucks was scary, really scary. They defend real hard, they can play phisical, everyone can shoot a 3pt and they have the greek freak that is playing under 30min (so he will be fresh for all season) and making 30+ points.

    Meanwhile Gordon Hayward is returning to practice this weekend. C’s were rolling with him in the lineup he was back to himself. Really interested to see what it looks like in the East with him back in the lineup
