Is this the 2020 NBA Finals preview?

[Levity]

KAT looking like a black rick moranis with those glasses. lulz.

[FireDavidKahn]

KAT wont be guarding Embiid. It's going to be Dieng against Embiid.

[JohnMax]

KAT struggles against scoring Centers that are much stronger than him:

Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins, Jahlil Okafor, etc

[fourkicks44]

KAT wont be guarding Embiid. It's going to be Dieng against Embiid.

The champ ducking the challenger?

[DaHeezy]

The Sixers over the last couple of years despite their record always got the best of Minnesota. I think today will be the same

[DaHeezy]

....and out goes Embiid with an ankle injury :lol

[fourkicks44]

....and out goes Embiid with an ankle injury :lol

He will be ok.

......i hope:(

[DaHeezy]

He will be ok.

......i hope:(
I hope so too. Freak collision. Rubio is lucky he didn't get crushed

[fourkicks44]

Jojo back!

It's aight people.

[DaHeezy]

Embiid is back

[fourkicks44]

Wiggins is legit. Killing it.

[L8krH8tr]

Rubio ftw

[plowking]

Embiid>KAT if healthy.

Wiggins might be the best post player in the league.

[DaHeezy]

Wiggins might be the best post player in the league.

Abusing Stauskus in the post isn't really a clear indicator

Wiggins has the best 3 point % in the league? Did I hear that right?

[insidehoops]

Early 2Q: Wolves 35, Sixers 18

K-A Towns 11pts
Wiggins 10 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts

Sixers 29% FG

[FireMcFailPlease]

Embiid>KAT if healthy.

Wiggins might be the best post player in the league.
haha, well we know that'll never happen and even then, KATs skill will take Emiid away from his comfort zone.

and he cant even make a trip up the court without getting hurt.


everyone should tune in for the 3rd and watch the Wolves squander this lead

[plowking]

That was a massive violation by Lavine lol...

He left way before the FT attempt.

[plowking]

Abusing Stauskus in the post isn't really a clear indicator

Wiggins has the best 3 point % in the league? Did I hear that right?

One play was on Nik. The rest have been on a range of defenders.

And even if it was on Stauskus, most guys don't even know how to properly take advantage of mismatches. Dude goes down low and gets nice hooks or fadeaways close to the ring.

[fourkicks44]

Sixers got control the D boards better.

[fourkicks44]

Jojo showing Lavine his foot is aight!

[To4]

fuqing mconnel. embiid was free under the ring. useless

[FireMcFailPlease]

Jojo showing Lavine his foot is aight!
Yea well its not even thanksgiving and I dont know how you can go into every game not thinking this is the last we'll see of him..

[DaHeezy]

McConnell missed Embiid down low with nobody within 10 feet of him. :facepalm
Is he supposed to be an NBA calibre PG?

[insidehoops]

Late 2Q: Wolves up 48-32

Wiggins 12pts
Towns 11
Zach LaVine 9
Ilyasova 9, on 9 shots

[plowking]

Wiggins is quite comfortably the best player on the Wolves.

[To4]

McConnell missed Embiid down low with nobody within 10 feet of him. :facepalm
Is he supposed to be an NBA calibre PG?

Ditto...:banghead:

[plowking]

Wiggins killing everyone in the post.

[To4]

That pogo stick jump from wiggins for the rebound and put back

[fourkicks44]

Wiggins killing everyone in the post.

Get Holmes in Coach Brown:facepalm

[To4]

Power move from towns!

[FreezingTsmoove]

76ers guards are such ****ing *******

They have all the nba speed to get to the rim but they wont drive to the rim @ all

[To4]

Nobody wants to get physical. haha. Mconnel should just go stop playing bball.

[bdreason]

All those draft picks and this 76ers team would struggle to win the NBA D-League championship.

[DaHeezy]

Covington couldn't hit the backside of a barn on his drives. How did this guy manage to have a good 3 point percentage last year?

[CuterThanRubio]

Wiggins is on another planet this year

+Embiid will never amount to anything notable

[FireMcFailPlease]

If the Wolves blow this lead in the 3rd qtr, Im down for shipping them to Gary Indiana

[$LakerGold]

Well, we all know how 3Q is gonna go. Cut the lead to 5. Close game. GG T'Wolves. lmao

[FreezingTsmoove]

Wow been a huge UFC fan for years so glad Conor has become a household name !

[pedromarinho]

Wiggins the most notable physical beast after LeBron?

[DaHeezy]

Drexler: Don't ever compare Lavine to me :roll:

[insidehoops]

Half: Wolves 61, Sixers 33

Wiggins 19pts, 5 rebs (8-of-9 shooting)
Towns 13

Sixers 31% FG

[DaHeezy]

Wiggins the most notable physical beast after LeBron?
I'd say Stanley Johnson and Justise Winslow. But of course Wiggins is better

[yeaaaman]

Wiggins potential is through the roof. His talent level right now alone makes thinking about his potential future scary. Look how much he's improving and how much he can STILL improve.

[Lebron23]

Wiggins might be an all star this season.

[pedromarinho]

Zach is going to be better, KAT is also going to be a lil bit better, Wiggins is going to be much better. You have 2 good young PG's... They're stacked. Period. But I thought Thibs would make more of an impact. Let's see how this pans out. They need to be in the Playoffs.

But they play a kind of boring bbal tbh.

[fourkicks44]

Twolves got it figured out:

Triple team Embiid and the Sixers still can't find an open man for a basket :lol

[Lebron23]

All those draft picks and this 76ers team would struggle to win the NBA D-League championship.


I hope they get serious next season when they draft Dennis Smith Jr, Lonzo Ball, or Markelle Futz. Sixers franchise is trash in this decade.

[aj1987]

Wiggins is for real. :eek:

[Kingwillball]

Wiggins is selfish

[FireMcFailPlease]

Zach is going to be better, KAT is also going to be a lil bit better, Wiggins is going to be much better. You have 2 good young PG's... They're stacked. Period. But I thought Thibs would make more of an impact. Let's see how this pans out. They need to be in the Playoffs.

this team probably has 2 or 3 losses on the year if they didnt blow 15 pt 3rd qtr leads.

nobody knows how or why they do it

[pedromarinho]

Cmon Wiggins... "reward da big fella"

[atljonesbro]

Wiggins is a monster

[fourkicks44]

Covington 0/7 from 3pt and 1/11 from the field.

[ShawkFactory]

Wiggins is absolutely for real.

He really needs to improve his vision/playmaking if he's going to become elite though. His teams will always underachieve if he plays solely like this. Even with KAT.

[Lebron23]

Covington 0/7 from 3pt and 1/11 from the field.


Why is that Bum still in the NBA?

[To4]

KAT just bulllying Saric mayne..

[DaHeezy]

The Sixers need Bayless badly. And put Henderson back in! McConnell is hot garbage

[DaHeezy]

Sixers need to draft Markelle Fultz. No matter what position the pick. They need a go to perimeter scorer.

[pedromarinho]

Iverson would still ball in this 76ers...

[pedromarinho]

Sixers need to draft Markelle Fultz. No matter what position the pick. They need a go to perimeter scorer.What he looks like? A Steph? More of a Kyrie?

[aj1987]

Iverson would still ball in this 76ers...
I hate AI, but he'd definitely take this team to the PO's.

The Sixers need defenders. They are terrible defensively.

[Smoke117]

What a snoozefest this game is. Keep these kind of match ups on NBATV. Even before the season started and if Ben Simmons was healthy...this game had no business on TNT. The shitty games should stick to NBATV.

[DaHeezy]

What he looks like? A Steph? More of a Kyrie?

More like a shot creator like Harden.

[fourkicks44]

Sixers actually outscored Twolves 25-24 in the third quarter.

[bdreason]

Stitch is doing work. 8 rebounds might be a career high.

http://images.clipartpanda.com/lilo-and-stitch-clip-art-cliplilo5.gif

[DaHeezy]

Iverson would still ball in this 76ers...
But outside of Embiid and Henderson nobody can defend. He needs defenders around him.

[DaHeezy]

Embiid had Dunn sealed down low :facepalm
What is wrong with them? A simple entry pass

[noob cake]

Can we contract the Sixers? They have plenty of assets that all teams would lotto teams would love to divide up.

[To4]

Honestly I dont know why Tibs still play KAT and Lavine?? its a 20 pt lead. sit your starters!

[fourkicks44]

I don't want to see them sit. I want to see them play.

[Lebron23]

One of the reasons why his Bulls team underachieved in the playoffs. And partly the reason why Rose became injury prone.

[Lebron23]

I don't want to see them sit. I want to see them play.


We called it in our league stats padding. So that some of the players won't get butt hurt after you take them out of the game.

[FireMcFailPlease]

#babysteps!:oldlol:

[To4]

Omg. and now Wiigins went in the game as well.. If its a blowout its a blow out

[FireMcFailPlease]

our starters need all of the help they can get to step on a teams throat while theyre down.

[Lebron23]

Sucks for the Sixers. Markelle Fultz for no.1 pick. Fultz-Simmons- Embiid are a solid trio. Just trade Jabari Parker for a veteran point guard.

[fourkicks44]

We called it in our league stats padding. So that some of the players won't get butt hurt after you take them out of the game.

Not at 21 years old when your team is 3 and 7.

Plus if he sat them we wouldn't have seen that lil Embiid vs KAT mini duel.

Anyway I don't have any problem with it. Just don't blame the Coach if you trip, or have an injury.

[To4]

Yes, dis is what im afraid of as well. anything can happen. *knock on wood*

[BigKAT]

Embiid gonna be a force in this league if he stays healthy.

Also I know I'm late but that Ally-oop from Wiggins to KAT was sweet af.
That arc on the lob :applause:


Good game, but let's wrap it up and move on.
We need to start beating teams that aren't tanking.

[fourkicks44]

Holmes! Finally

[fourkicks44]

Holmes! Finally

4 points 2 reb 1 blk 1 steal in 1 minute!:oldlol:

we do beat them...for 3/4's of the game :oldlol:

[BigKAT]

Man that hurts.
(Because it's true.)
We just need the collective lead in the 3/4 not to be lower then the lead we give up in the 3rd.
