NBA 2016/17 - Still waiting on Ben Simmons

Sat the 2nd half out with back soreness. Already blown out by then.

76ers are starting to show what the future will hold…I think they will get some guys who will want to come and play with embiid and ben in the near future…goodtimes ahead for philly

Unless they both leave which could be likely…

Just need to trade Okafor for a shooter.

Suggestions that Ben Simmons plays his first NBA game on the 27th (28th our time).

Has he even scrimmaged 5 on 5? Seems way too early and risky.

Brown has come out in the last hour or two and there’s no chance he’ll play next week.

30.6ppg
10.6rpg
10.4apg

Those numbers not sufficient for a starting gig, apparently !

As I understand it Curry, Harden and Westbrook were on equal votes after both the public and expert voting. Order was Curry, Harden then Westbrook in the public vote and exactly the reverse in the expert vote. Public vote had the tiebreaker.

Even if the ASG means fark all, it will be fun watching how Russ and KD interact.

Russ not starting is a deadset travesty.

Since when have All Star starting lineups ignored centres?
I know there’s a shortage but the east don’t even have one.

Embiid

It’s because it’s voted frontcourt and back court

Curry is better three point shooter and that’s most important in the NBA at the moment, won him two MVPs.

Delly and Thon given the start v Heat today.

I really hope Embiid makes the east all star reserves, screw this he is just a rookie crap. 6es are a plus 20 when he is on the court

For those that love horrific injuries.

Not for the squeamish. :o

Heard that this morning, just sickening.
Just on the NBL, Adelaide are flying and the crowds are absolutely fantastic with games sold out a week in advance

That is insane

That’s great to hear, the 6ers are the one SA Team I adopted when I lived there.
