my sixers came up a bit short this year. talent wasn't the issue. 76ers were really talented but the fit did not quite work well. embiid was not 100% (even though he was still quite a force defensively). the spacing with embiid and simmons will be a problem the sixers need to address as both players can't play in the paint at the same time. and simmons doesn't have the confidence to shoot outside of the paint. didn't help the kawai leonard is playing out of his freakin mind right now. against more inferior teams, sixers had the luxury of sitting embiid and playing simmons at the 5. but toronto smartly went big putting in marc gasol and serge ibaka at the same time so the 76ers got crushed everytime they tried to play smaller. good luck to the bucks. i will be cheering for them against the raptors. i do not like the city of toronto ever since joe carter in 1993 ruined my childhood. i think the bucks will win in 6. 76ers will hopefully retool next year as they aren't far from being a legit contender. just need a backup center so embiid could take a breather without the opponent going on a ridiculous run. , need embiid to take better care of himself and manage his load during the season better and need ben simmons to work on a legit jumper so the paint isn't always so clogged when both he and embiid are in the game together. embiid resigned recently for a few years. he missed his first 2 seasons due to injury so his rookie deal had come up quickly, but he had not quite done enough to earn a max. so they compromised a bit. i hope they don't deal simmons. he has so much potential. you can see the only thing holding him back is mental. i've watched him shoot J's and three's in practice and before games. he's not terrible at it like you'd think by his reluctance to shoot during a game. he just has no confidence. too many late game situations are messed up b/c he's petrified to go to the free throw line. with his skill set, size, speed and coordination, he can be one of the league leaders in getting to the line. still, it poses a problem that he and embiid both like to dominate the paint. every just crashes down on defense and simmons/embiid are not good enough shooters from the perimeter to make them pay. it will be an interesting offseason. lots of fans here think if they can somehow run it back with the same nucleus and make a tweek or two with the bench, they will be favorites in the east next year. |

what is there to not like about embiid? besides his health and endurance (which are vital fwiw), he's the most unstoppable player in the NBA IMO. marc gasol was a tough matchup for him. gasol was once a defensive player of the year. toronto was smart to trade for him. 
All that said, I do recognize he is a major talent. Wouldn't say he's the most unstoppable in the NBA, imo that is Kevin Durant.
embiid is a national treasure. he's very cocky and immature but he's an awesome trash talker. he's great at social media. just has a real funny sense of humor. just yesterday, he changed his profile pic to a pic of him crying after the game. there's a sense that the 76ers front office can't control him and he does what he wants. like he has these chronic knee issues and no one wanted him to play in the all star game. but he did anyway. and he sat out most of the season afterwards with a knee injury. but hopefully as he gets older, he'll mature and take better care of himself. |

Just never cared for him...maybe it's because I hate Kansas and he went there on the one-year $100K under the table plan.

Thanks. 76ers had a fine yr and got tossed by a 4 bounce shot. 76ers certainly have a ton of talent, maybe too much, concentrated on the top tier. Biggest issue I see w Philly is the folks that will enter FA. Which will then impact the day Embiid/Simmons get to cash in. Perhaps they deal Simmons. embiid resigned recently for a few years. he missed his first 2 seasons due to injury so his rookie deal had come up quickly, but he had not quite done enough to earn a max. so they compromised a bit. i hope they don't deal simmons. he has so much potential. you can see the only thing holding him back is mental. i've watched him shoot J's and three's in practice and before games. he's not terrible at it like you'd think by his reluctance to shoot during a game. he just has no confidence. too many late game situations are messed up b/c he's petrified to go to the free throw line. with his skill set, size, speed and coordination, he can be one of the league leaders in getting to the line. still, it poses a problem that he and embiid both like to dominate the paint. every just crashes down on defense and simmons/embiid are not good enough shooters from the perimeter to make them pay. it will be an interesting offseason. lots of fans here think if they can somehow run it back with the same nucleus and make a tweek or two with the bench, they will be favorites in the east next year. |

It was filmed, in part, in Philly. Enjoyable movie.

Can't think a lot of films I enjoyed w him, absent NT. Maybe Con Air, perhaps because I had a thing for C-123s, maybe not. |

Nicholas Cage has done some shit movies, but have to admit that one was pretty fun to watch.
