Philly is in a really good position if they stay healthy. Just hope you guys don't draw the short end of the stick in these next few years.


For DM's sake as well as this entire sub, I hope they don't get the short end of the stick.
It'll be nice to see different posts from DM when the sixers start winning shit. His above .500 thread was a nice change of pace.

He took it to Harden twice in a row. Rockets are 0-2 vs the goat this year and won't get another chance at him until next year. Harden is probably up there with the superstars of today's game.


I meant one that plays defence. To his credit, Harden has played defence in spurts this year, and int he last two seasons, he has experimented with the idea of defending for a qtr here & there. But if you drop 40 on Harden and you can't repeat it in shooting practice, it's just because the empty gym plays harder defence.

If Simmons goes off on Kawhi or KD, let me know. That would be sick.

LeBron at Simmons age averaged 31/7/7.

Simmons is as much of a light skinned LeBron as Scalabrine was a light skinned Kobe.


He is not quite as explosive (still a freak athlete though) but he is taller.

At this age LeBron had already been in the NBA for 2 or 3 years lol.

Experience wise, yes. Simmons is having a far better start to his rookie year than LeBron did.

In 2 to 3 years Simmons will possibly be averaging a triple double lol.

All we need is for Fultz to return healthy so he can develop as he should. Then we are ready to rock.

18 year old vs 21 year old is a huuuuuuge difference.

Simmons played college ball and has worked with pro coaches the whole time so it is completely fair to compare them both at 21. LeBron shits all over him and it isn't even fucking close.


Also far better lol? You are acting like LeBron didn't average 20/5/5 with great defense. That's with 3 less years of playing ball than Simmons too.

If you wanna get technical just compare it to LeBron's second year. Since Simmons played a year of college it is even more fair. LeBron still makes him look like a bitch.
