[BatManu20]

In Philly tonight to take on a deadly Sixers team that seems unstoppable at the moment. Going to take a near-perfect performance on the road to steal a victory. Hope the guys bring their A-Game tonight. Let's get it.

Are Ray and Boban back on the team yet? Hopefully they get some extended minutes along with Kyle and the other scrubs (not Bonner?)

In theory this game should be as easy as Kobe missing a FG. But watch out for Covington going nuts from 3pt land.

I remember reading somewhere that they're better when he's on the bench. Now I'm scared if he doesn't play.

*edit* Found it, it's from Nov 20th



"To put it in another wording: The single best thing that the Philadelphia 76ers, a team full of 2nd round and undrafted fliers, can do to win games, is benching Jahlil Okafor. Between the decision to play, or not play, any player on their roster, that is the move that makes them the most points better than their opponent so far this season. In fact, it’s a 30-point swing over the course of 100 possessions. Terrifying for an early prognosis on a player who was considered the most polished in the 2015 draft class."

Funny you mention this bc I read this tweet earlier from a Sixers fan and found it interesting. Is Okafor Al Jefferson 2.0?

Just want to see Danny get his 3pt shot going and hopefully Kawhi can continue his hot 3pt shooting.

[bklynspursfan]

Dag. No Kawhi... Hopefully Simmons/Butler get some burn. KA has been up & down

[BatManu20]

No Kawhi tonight due to the runs. No excuse to not beat this team still. Other guys step up.

Bold prediction: If Aldridge doesn't get more fan duel points than Kawhi in this game, I will never post on spurstalk again.

they will be better soon, kendall marshall and tony wroten will give them some boost with time (both returning from bad injuries). Their backcourt is especially bad for now, so their help is really needed.
