    Sixers fined for mis representing embidd injury . Namely that he has one and the 76rs were trying to hide it . His knees may be beyond help at this point , kinda curious if he actually plays before January.

    The NBA fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 for misrepresenting Joel Embiid’s absence.

    Its investigation found a disconnect between the team's “injury management” listing and public comments about prioritizing Embiid’s health for the playoffs.

    If a team violates any of the above rules, it is subject to a fine of $100,000 for the first violation, $250,000 for the second violation and $1.25 million for a third violation. A team will be fined $1 million more than its previous penalty for any violations beyond the third.

    Something is up with Luka man.

  • ph blakeph blake Registered User regular
    He went from hurt + playoff run straight into olympic qualifying into 3 month break with 0 preseason action and now back to real NBA games again

    Like I'm not gonna say I expected his shot to look this off, but I'm also not really surprised at all

    He also found a way to gain weight during all that too

    Feeling a Bronny appearance in this game, probably the only chance he’ll have of playing in the Q in an NBA game

    sixers should just tank the season at this point. i’ve never seen a team so top to bottom incompetent. couldn’t even break 100 vs the pistons in the modern nba.

    And Tobias put up a double double on them in his return to Philly.

    tobias was the only reason the sixers were in the game for a bit. dude is still just extremely bad at basketball.

    I know Luka is basically rusty from not playing pro ball since the finals, but man I wish he didn't have to play himself to shape. Also hope he whines less to the refs. Get good now, I hate losing :frowning:

    Blazers and OKC are both saying Fuck It, Three Or Death tonight - almost 50 between them so far at the half. Also - tied.

    I don't think it meant the game, but he should have been tossed for that.

    Also, Braun being a viable starter for Denver is the one silver lining of the season so far. He's looked great in the couple games I've watched. Not super efficient, but he can do more than just the three-and-d role.

    Yeah, once he threw Braun from the headlock I thought he was getting tossed.

  • Knight_Knight_ Dead Dead Dead Registered User regular
    sixers might actually be the worst team in the league without george and embiid. it’s absolutely painful.

    nobody on the team can shoot or dribble or make a play.

    Some shitty columnist wrote something about Embiid's son + his dead brother and how "he wants to leave a legacy for them but won't show up for work"

    So Embiid apparently got up in the guy's face and shoved him in the locker room after the game tonight

    Which, deserved tbh, even though the league is 100% gonna fine Embiid for it; using a guy's kid + dead family member to talk shit will probably get you shoved, that's kinda how things work!

    marcus hayes went incredibly over the line 2 articles ago and has done nothing but double down since. it’s absolutely horrible.

    At least in the Eastern Conference you're never really out of contention, so they have plenty of time to get back on track.

    Popovich had some sort of health issue and is stepping away for an "indefinite period"

    God i hope it wasn't a stroke

    god damn the cavs had a crazy end to this game. bucks looked like they were gonna win this one and then the cavs went absolutely nuts

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    Bucks kind blew that game. Dame was spectacular until the final possession and they also got an absurd 21 points on 8 shots from some guy called AJ Green that I've never seen before.

    That's back to back stellar Lillard games gone to waste.

    holy shit the sixers scored 60+ points in a half, i was pretty sure being on track to break 100 is illegal.

    Sixers are cursed.
    Just In: Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Tyrese Maxey is expected to miss a couple of weeks because of a right hamstring injury, sources told ESPN. Full evaluation coming later Thursday but sides are bracing for Maxey’s absence. Sixers will take careful approach with the injury.

    I wonder if thats ever happened for a full season. Maybe that year when Chamberlain led the league in assists?

    Hes lagging in points, only 4th there. Hes gotta step that up to first, the Perkins and the like will really have fun calling him an overrated star padder.

    I honestly don’t see any reason he can’t finish first in assists unless the Nuggs just continue to disintegrate around him

    It’s not really a “small sample” size thing- he’s not that far ahead of his usual pace

    Yep, as far as I'm aware only Wilt in '68 finished a season leading the league in both, and IIRC he did it in raw number and per game.
