Bucks winning would be the best I think. I don’t want another year of Giannis playoff discourse.

Celtics winning would be really really funny. The ultimate Ewing theory.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 15:47 (four years ago) link
idk if Ewing theory really applies if Kyrie already won a title with a different team
― frogbs, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 15:55 (four years ago) link
Sure it does. If Ewing had won in 94 that wouldn’t invalidate the theory in 99.

Plumlee out two to four weeks... Nuggets are gonna need Jarred Vanderbilt to give them something. I think he might!
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 16:06 (four years ago) link
I'm just trying to translate Simmons-speak, Ewing theory being "great player who doesn't have the championship gear" or whatever
actually thought we got a pretty good example of Ewing theory this last year with Bryce Harper, one of the very few actual examples of this idea coming to fruition

celtics have no size and no bench, if it were just one of those problems mb they could work on fixing it but theyre too flawed to seriously contend

ja was weirdly shafted by the recruiting services, probably because zion was overshadowing him. he only had one major school offer him (south carolina), and he went to murray state cause they offered him first lol.

also weirdly he wasnt particularly great his freshman year but has been unstoppable since

that was his sophomore season

also some guys' games are better suited to NBA style of play than NCAA, and vice versa
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 22 January 2020 18:30 (four years ago) link
he was great his sophomore season, he went from a barely recruited guy who had a good but not nearly spectacular freshman season to a superstar in his sophomore year and just kept it rolling into the pros, not a huge deal just kinda an unusual progression is all
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 18:34 (four years ago) link
wonder if he worked on some skill that unlocked his game that summer before he blew up
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 18:35 (four years ago) link
he forgot to apply his stat points from previous level ups

xp ah yes, forgot that he wasn't a one and done

Sixers fan here. Would it be crazy to trade Embiid for say McCollum and one or two first round picks? Play Simmons at the 5 some. /armchairgm

you dont trade your best player. they should move horford or could move simmons.

Got a feeling Embiid has already peaked and is gonna be washed by 30
