Philly is not stacked. They play a better brand of basketball than Lakers.

Yea that

Philly is stacked

But they also play a much better brand of ball


lebron starts at forward but then becomes a 2nd point guard on the floor, which reduces ball-time and assists for the other 3 teammates compared to their play in 1-point guard lineups.. lower teammate assists results in low TEAM assist rankings.

Otoh, Philly starts Simmons at PG (1-pg lineup) so the remaining teammates have a normal time with the ball and assist averages.. thus the sixers' TEAM isn't prevented from high assist rankings..

similarly, magic started at PG, and his 1-pg lineup allowed high team assist rankings.. but 2-pg lineups (lebron/harden-ball) give the remaining 3 teammates less time and assists compared to their play in 1-point guard lineups, which results in low TEAM assist rankings

Lakers should trade magic for Elton brand

Give us Kuzma as well and it's a done deal.

We'll cut Magic and pick up Hinkie off the waivers:rockon:

3ball spends his morning commute dreaming of a world in which the masses are privy to the finer points of off-ball scoring, team assist rankings, and optimal brands of basketball.

I can live with that. Lot worse things out there to be thinking about during a morning commute.

At least hes not a pedophile:confusedshrug:

[greymatter]

Takes a special kind of retard to try to make the case that highest total number of passes equates to the "best" brand of basketball while glossing over the fact that Memphis, Detroit, and BKN are in the top 5.

[superduper]

Absolutely agree.

Embiid allows players to flourish alongside him by allowing them to maximizing their strengths instead of holding the entire offense hostage for the whole game to fraudulently manufacture negative impact 30pt triple doubles in a loss.
