Good move Divac!

Letting go of your new good coach when a better one became available.

 

Wish Sixers can do the same with BB.

 

We need an X & O guy.

Wish we could've gotten Nate Oates from the college ranks. A real tactician like Nick Nurse who plays his team in the college ranks like an NBA team (man D).

This series will go to a Gane 7. It would be a dandy to see two Popovich disciples go head to head, Bret and Bud, in the ECF. The Sixers can match up with Ante better. The Caneroonian can better match up against the Nigerian. Ante is a Greek national of Nigerian descent.

The Sixers shouldn't fret. If the Raps win the title in Game 5, the Sixers are officially the hardest playoff rival this season that the Raptors faced.

game 7...and that memorable shot from the soon to be named finals mvp. chief apat na beses tumalbog yung bola :) incredible!

It seems that Embiid got one thorn off his back in the Atlantic Division. That thorn will join him. It was a great run, Al. Best of luck to you in Philly.

 

It's been a busy day for the 76ers. They sign Harris to a max contract then sign and butler to the heat. They'll be getting Josh richardson from the heat.

Keeping Butler to make a run again in the East would have been the right thing to do but replacing him with Al Horford is a wise decision. Horford is a high-character guy with a high basketball IQ.

I don't know if it was a good move to sign Harris to a max contract (180M 5 yrs). Harris is a good player but I really felt they overpaid him. Horford is a also nice pick up but also hefty price tag.

 

If it was me I would have kept Butler instead of Harris. Butler is reliable down the stretch and a better defender than Harris.

 

Did they really improve during this season? Yes, but not really drastic improvement IMHO. They'll be a championship contender just like last year but X-factor here is Ben Simmons learning to shoot 3s.

Simmons is also probably overpaid.

 

If he signs the max extension and he doesn't learn how to shoot jumpers then he'll be overpaid.

 

Ben Simmons is 6'10" moves like a guard, great passer, and elite defender. He was the only guy in the Toronto series that can decently defend Kawhi. He didnt exactly stop Kawhi but he was decent. Kawhi was just too strong for Butler and Harris. If he can learn how to shoot free throws and perhaps shoot 32% from 3 point land, he'll be a monster. Right now defenders are sagging off him making it hard for Embiid to operate in the paint.
