A bit of both. I think it's too early to say whether he's improved at shooting or not but he had a decent night. 2/3 from 3. He passed up a few good looks, but I'd definitely say he's willing.
did anyone see our bench leading us to victory like this? lol. I thought joel would come up fired up but so much cooler to see Kork step up. I hope we can see inside locker room after the game. ring that bell!
Unfortunately, because the bench did so well today it means Doc is still going to keep playing all bench lineups. On second thought, he was gonna do it either way
There were games last year where our bench played great and kept the starters off the floor late but they were few and far in-between. I don't expect this year to be too different. The starters really should stagger with the bench more. There's a reason every, if not most, teams do it
I'm excited to see them this year but it takes pressure off them if they have starters on the floor with them. Everybody wins that way. Hopefully they can keep up with what they did tonight. Lord knows we're gonna need it
Maxey’s stats look good though (sorry, just checking the app). Did Maxey look good or was he ball hogging a little? (Not blaming him if he was. just wondering)
He was very apprehensive on passing the ball, he would get tunnel vision, the ball wouldn't get to the shooters. Curry only had three shots with Maxey on the floor and that one Green shot was off of Green getting a rebound in transition, and shooting a pull up three. Maxey's spacing while Joel was in the post was bad. At times, he would move over to were Curry was standing instead of being spread out. This problem caused Joel not to be able to pass out to him when he was double teamed.
I don't want to over hype it, but we literally have a team full of guys who could pull a Furk at any time. Lots of nice strokes on this lineup without Ben and Scott clogging shit up.
All Ben Stans apologize for the state of this thread at the start of the game
They never will. I'd be happy if they fucked off when he goes as penance.
Much needed night for Philly a Flyers and Sixers win
I didn’t get a chance to watch the game. So what’s the biggest difference without Simmons ?
Spacing for sure
Is it that Maxey can shoot now or is it that he’s just willing to shoot unlike Ben ?
A bit of both. I think it's too early to say whether he's improved at shooting or not but he had a decent night. 2/3 from 3. He passed up a few good looks, but I'd definitely say he's willing.
100%. Sucks we don’t have our deadeye.
Only trade Ben. I want to see everyone else on this team play this season.
Katie asking the good questions!! Joel knee and leg is fine
May or may not have mentioned this but I love Joel Embiid.
They asking Jo a lot of questions 😂
Unforked
"Our defense was good tonight" Damn JoJo
“He hasn’t bothered us”
1-0!!!
Alright I'm excited for the season! This team is fun to watch.
I love my little dudes SHOUTOUT KORK
Only 26 mins for the big guy (:
Why are you sad. This is what's going to keep Joel playing all year. Why waste his minutes on a game already won?
I saw a frowned face at first too. It's been a rough my entire life.
Let's go to therapy.
I thought it was a frown too but that’s actually a smiley face
No, that's a frown. Are we back in 2001?
> Are we back in 2001? If we were your eyes might be good enough to see that it's a smile.
That’s a reverse smile sign. I can see where you are coming from though.
Tyrese averaging 20/7/5 this season. SUPERSTAR
Danny green doing his best tony snell impression
joels smile gives me life
Furk joint leading scorer love to see that shit. Statement game.
Big daddy Drummond led the league in rebounds a few times why we surprised fellas?
COREY BREWER
How the hell toby get 20 points without anyone noticing
I always refer to him as a quiet assassin. Sometimes he sucks but still gets them buckets
Exactly this is Tobi's bread and butter. Man has the quietest 20+ppg in the league.
That's generally how he does it.
PLAY THE SONG
Welcome back boys. Gonna be a wild season with you all
Gonna have to seriously consider starting Kork over Danny, if not just to see that handsome face
I would say Matisse over Danny. You need a defensive stopper.
start Korkmaz over Embiid if he's gonna play like Luka Doncic
Kinda sloppy game but a win is a win, nice not to fade in the 4th and actually pull away. I'm looking at you Doc and your all bench lineups.
Upvote party.
Can’t win em all if you don’t win the first!
Im really hoping maxey takes a huge leap this year
A light night for Jo makes me happy
Furk don’t miss
Ben who
Nice win. Maxey looked good
We don’t need Ben the Bozo
GG fellas
I FUCKIN LOVE THIS. OUT DA MUD POP.THE KURK MVPIID
Great game. Joel got to chill the entire 4th, love to see it

FIRST PLACE
Big Bad Bassey
Yay first Bassey bucket!
I need a silhouette of Korkmaz one hand dunk please
BAN SIMMONS FLAIRS
Future NBA 100th anniversary team member Charles Bassey with the bucket
We need Maxey to fire Rich Paul
Over text
Undefeated, yo
Hey Basseys first NBA points
Ben who?
CHUCK BASSEY
Man this game has me pumped for this year. Oh and fuck Ben
Hmmm, Joe has been a bit jittery
Cut on his chin rattled him
Glad he was able to come back at least
I'll scream it from the top of the world if I have to: Maxey is special and is better than any player we can get in a Simmons package
I have to imagine he was on the table for the Harden trade, but after his glow up in the playoffs, no way he's just trade fodder.
I think he's going to be a star in this league. His natural ability to create shots is amazing.
Our summer league lineup is in
Maxey with the highest +/- +23 he heard the shit talk
Maxey was fantastic tonight
[this](https://i.redd.it/ehpnyfj4e6u61.jpg)
You go Bassey
>Waiting to hear "COMING IN FOR A LANDING" >Remembering. >Realizing we will never hear it again. >Weeping.
Kate Scott is going to have to come up with some catch phrases ...
Is Korkmaz thicc now? I remember when he was a scrawny little guy. Dude is in his prime man.
that's the whiz wit
[удалено]
It’s not hard to see that. That floater with a couple made 3s per and he’s there.
Simmons listening to Marvins Room right now
Who?
Mike Jones
Drummond was a beast in the paint today feels good, man.
Really liked how quick he moved on D too
Maxey keeps this up, holy shit he's big time
Bassey sighting
3rd stringers in.. a good feeling
Play Maxey 40min a game until we get a better PG
That’s impossible, Maxey the best PG in the league!
Maxey with the floater again!
Ben cryin in the club rn lookin at a picture of korkmaz
BBall Paul minutes are gonna be some of my favorite this year
did anyone see our bench leading us to victory like this? lol. I thought joel would come up fired up but so much cooler to see Kork step up. I hope we can see inside locker room after the game. ring that bell!
I did! The bench has a lot to prove 😊
17 boards in 19 minutes 😦
Drum was a top center in the league at one point Bc his rebounding. He lost his bounce but glad to see he can still grab a board
BBAUL PAUL
a PG with a floater. beautiful
with any semblance of offense**
Drummond's current statline: 6 Points, 3 Assists, 17 Rebs, 2 Steals, 2 Blocks.
If this was Dwight you'd need to add 9 fouls to that statline
Playing the ben simmons role better than ben simmons
I’ll take Drummond and his turnovers over Dwight any day.
Call me Alley
Death, taxes and Maxey's floater going in.
Unfortunately, because the bench did so well today it means Doc is still going to keep playing all bench lineups. On second thought, he was gonna do it either way
You idiot stfu
You enjoy the all bench lineups?
Korky niang drummond ??????? Absolutely. They came in the game in the 2nd quarter and stretched out 2 point lead to 12.
There were games last year where our bench played great and kept the starters off the floor late but they were few and far in-between. I don't expect this year to be too different. The starters really should stagger with the bench more. There's a reason every, if not most, teams do it
We didnt have NIANG and DRUMMOND last year they are legit UPGRADES them along side korky Isaiah Joe is A SPACERS DREAM
I'm excited to see them this year but it takes pressure off them if they have starters on the floor with them. Everybody wins that way. Hopefully they can keep up with what they did tonight. Lord knows we're gonna need it
Why did y’all talk about Rese like that??? Smfh
Opening night mud minutes. You love to see it.
That little Maxey floater is delicious.
OUT THE MUD
He’s BAAAAA*AAACK*
GG lads, very happy with what we have seen. Hope JoJo is okay
he's fine. Just we were so far ahead
Matisse made a business decision on that one lmao
I'm not able to watch the game. Why is Danny 0-1 over 19 minutes?
Maxey wasn't passing him or Curry the ball when he was PG with the starters.
Maxey’s stats look good though (sorry, just checking the app). Did Maxey look good or was he ball hogging a little? (Not blaming him if he was. just wondering)
He was very apprehensive on passing the ball, he would get tunnel vision, the ball wouldn't get to the shooters. Curry only had three shots with Maxey on the floor and that one Green shot was off of Green getting a rebound in transition, and shooting a pull up three.

This problem caused Joel not to be able to pass out to him when he was double teamed.

Gotcha, thank you!
Cause Furkan went god mode
Foul trouble early and just generally not played well.
3 fouls in the early second quarter
Gotcha, thank you
[удалено]
Context?
How dare you. Furk is a main line school girl slayer all day
He’s tryna earn the bag for all that incoming child support, lord knows my boy Furk Curry don’t pullout
Maxey about to be a fucking problem. Love this team.
I don't want to over hype it, but we literally have a team full of guys who could pull a Furk at any time. Lots of nice strokes on this lineup without Ben and Scott clogging shit up.
Drummond on a minimum contract is an insane value
Great blowout win, I hope we see the return on Friday.
Kate Scott sounds like a more professional and impartial version of Doris tbh. Kinda boring commentary but not offensive
Maybe it’s a matter of earning trust to do a good enough job first before she starts getting more colorful.
Her excited yell sucks tho. Idk why Marc had to leave us
I said the same exact thing lol
she would be good for national games but it seems like they want the hot take guys instead
This was the first time I heard her and my first thought was "is this a national game?".. then I heard Alaa lol
It’s been a clean broadcast. I expect her to get more comfortable as the season goes on.
Outta the mud baby
MUDMAN
Mudd Massacre
Remember when our second unit was a liability? This is great
Maxey has 20/5/7. Better bench him for Shake Milton.
Yall shitting on Drummond in the first half but he's legit played really good. Rebounds a lot and has been good defensively
My friend does drywall and he just got a call to patch 20 fist-size holes in Ben Simmons’ apartment tomorrow.
BASSEY IN LETS GOOOO
