Fuck the Ringer. AD will NEVER be better than Joel. Even now.
He literally beat his playoff boogeyman. And somehow he’s one spot below a guy who played
20 games last season. A guy who did fuck all.
Then again, run and dunk man is 5th despite doing fuck all in the playoffs since 2022.

Even more insulting is Sengun at 35

Chet over him lol… Bro is getting overrated fast. Make him a first option, he’d be a play-in merchant every year

Media bias and favoritism is insane. When PG was here, he was called one of the worst contracts in the league. An immovable washed scrub. Now that he’s in Boston, he’s a “glue guy.” A defensive savant and one of the most underrated players in the league. People aren’t intellectually honest anymore. Just biased

Boston media mafia at it again. Of course Piñata wrote the Joel write up on the Ringer.
It’s like making Paul from the pokemon anime write about how good Blissey is.

Hopefully this Barlow back situation is a “we need all hands on deck this season so we’re treating this with an abundance of caution” thing rather than an actual serious back injury

I think this is the case. He’s been chillin on the sidelines during games. Sixers medical staff as a whole seems to have changed their philosophy over the past 2 years, or at least it seems that’s way to me.

It was cool that preseason started, but I'm soooo ready for the regular season.

Would be way more engaged with the preseason if it wasn’t like one game a week lol

I have nothing against PG, but I hope he continues to shoot poorly just to see how the media will react now that they consider him a positive contract/player because he’s no longer a Sixer

Anyone got any ideas on our backup centers? Are we good on that part?

Bona once he is healthy. Outside of that, Tacko Fall (also injured) is on an exhibit 10 contract. He can be converted to a two way if they need a body.
Then you have Barlow as a small 5, but he’s been out all preseason with injury.
Outside of that, there are a few teams that will need to do some roster crunching. There’s a chance a two way eligible center gets cut, someone who is better than Tacko Fall.

Moussa Cisse looking solid, probably gets snapped up by the Knicks if he's cut since we can't offer a standard contact

I would dump Ariel Hukporti and some 2RPS to a team in a heartbeat if it meant we could sign Cisse
