76ers just no serious. How could they lose this game?


And then the refs though with terrible calls.

Nothing new. The Sixers do this all the time.. Reminds me of the conference semi final series against the Hawks last season.

Bruv, CJ plays phantom defence o.
I get he is not elite but if we take out last season CJ and Portland have lost to teams that should normally beat them. Steph, Harden and most of your faves are turnstiles on defence too

Ayton is betting on himself this season.. These things don't usually end well. I wish him all the best though, he has started the season strongly.

Not that he is not elite but that he is quite poor defensively. The difference in defence is far greater than any perceived difference in offence.

The difference in their defense is marginal? Dude CJ cannot guard a cold, Harden is a better defender than CJ.
In terms of playmaking CJ is 3rd to Jrue and Middleton, so I agree he is marginally better than Brown on that end
Jaylen Brown is not an elite defender abeg so if I say marginal I am not inaccurate. The NBA is a league with certain players with unearned defensive reps and others with underrated defense as well. Jaylen Brown is not elite so if I say it is marginal I am not wrong

Lol in terms of playmaking how is Middleton 3rd to CJ? What are their average assist numbers? Go and check. The difference is negligible as well.

He has the skill set but he plays timid sometimes.
He can get there.

FYI, Dame had the worst defensive rating by a guard last season. He has consistently finished top 2 in that rating. CJ is better than Dame defensively..

When it comes to defense for that guard position CJ, Dame, Booker, T. Young, Doncic, D. A Russell, J. Morant dey the same WhatsApp group.

I no watch am but I don’t see why Unseld would be on it and Dwight not on.

Generally speaking I don’t see how 75 players get in ahead of Dwight.

These kinds of lists are popularity contests once you go further than the GOAT candidates or record breaking stat padders/title winners.
Dwight's peak is one of the best for a center in the history of the league. For 4 years he was the undisputed best big in the league. See why I hate all these polling booth lists, zero consistency just vibes and inshallah

I don't know what the suns offered him, but if it was close to an average of 28m per year, he should have taken it.
He is center who cannot shoot the 3 and has little or no low post game. In the current NBA he is a serviceable player

I am with you. More so, the Suns offense is not built around him. I think he was seeking 5yr/175M which could escalate to over 200M if he makes certain individual achievements. I understand he is frustrated the Suns called off the contract talks, he probably would have considered their offer. I just pray he doesn't regret it.

The Astros lead the 7 game series and are up by 2 runs. There are 9 innings in the game of baseball, if they are tied by the bottom of the 9th, the go into extra innings. Each inning is divided into the top and bottom of the inning. Each team will pitch and hit in either of those innings. For example, the Astros will pitch during the top of the 1st inning while the Red Sox will hit during the top. During the bottom of the inning, the Red Sox will pitch while the Astros will hit. Each inning ends after the pitcher pitches to 3 hitters of the opposing team.

You score by making a hit and a player of the team that hit the ball makes it to the home plate. There are 4 plates in MLB (Home plate, first base, second base and third base). In baseball, the pitcher is a defender because he doesn't want the hitter (offense) to make contact with the ball. A hit outside the field is a home run.

It's the bottom of the 7th right now and the Astros have made it to the home plate 2 times and that is why they are up by 2.

It also has very strong followership. The league is working really hard to get young followers and I have been impressed by some of the innovations they have come up with. The biggest thing is the time and they have made some adjustments especially with monitoring how much time pitchers are spending on the mound before pitching.

The MLB is also allowing young players develop and be more expressive and that is why we have seen the growth and explosion of players like Devers/Tatis Jr (They are trying to make him the face of the league but its not going well) and Guerrero

You also have younger and trimmer players. Gone are the days when hitters looks like whales..I can go on and on
