    I would just like to say publicly that as one of Joel Hans Embiid's biggest critics, I thought he played very well last night. A couple of careless turns, but last night certainly wasn't on him. I'm not one to hide when he plays well. Having said that - 

    I do still fully believe that this team will not win with him. I've read too many accounts from people within the organization and guys like Pat Bev who have shared that Embiid is more concerned about his personal numbers than the team's success. Obviously, I can't verify all of that. However, when he raises his hands and turns them inwards towards himself...makes me think that all of those reports are accurate. 

    The Sixers might have slightly better overall talent compared to NY, but what really stood out in that series was heart...will...desire...effort...outside of the 2nd quarter last night, we never matched the Knicks intensity on the floor. Loose ball? Going to NY. Hitting the glass? NY all the way. 

    I don't like any NY team but if I was a fan of the Knicks I would absolutely love my team. Man, do they play with energy and effort. All the time. They're relentless. 

    100% Truth!

    At my conference I had LeSean McCoy and Aaron Donald speak so had bfast with them today.  They were super cool and good dudes who are putting energy into building much-needed affordable housing.

    Many of y’all are Eagles or Pitt fans so thought I’d share those two guys are good spokespeople for their schools/franchised. 

    And Donald is a large, large human being. 

    Love it!

    I've asked myself this dozens of times over the past 4 years:

    Would I rather watch a team that goes 25-57 and is rebuilding? (again)

    Would I rather watch a team that goes 50-32 and you know will not go far in the postseason with Embiid?

    I keep going back to option #1. Look at what OKC has done after shedding all of those contracts. They are one of the best teams in the Association and are the youngest #1 seed EVER. Their average age is 23 years, 9 months. That's ridiculous. It's a model that a certain baseball team in Maryland has done pretty well with as well. 

    I hope...and hope...and hope - that #21 is gone. This/he ain't working. 

    #TrusttheProcess! :D It ain't working at all.

    I think we had three rain drops here at around 7:45 and clearing since.

    Thirty-two minutes past Nooners: Sixty and partly sunny.

    Clearing here as well had the downpour now the sun is starting to shine.

    I did see that Embiid guaranteed a Sixers series win. More bulletin board material for the Knicks after B-ball Paul said that the Knicks were the "easy team."

    I mean...he's right in once sense. The Knicks aren't the Celtics. But why would you say that right before you play them? 

    Stupid. 

    100% agree after Paul said that it just motivates a team even more. Keep your mouth shut. I will say officiating was bad last night for the Sixers. Not saying they would have won the game it was just terrible.
