Jah has actually been not too bad on D so far. It was one of his weaknesses coming out of college along with his rebounding but he has been solid, especially for a rookie. Embiid showed in college he had good defensive fundamentals. The issue regardless will be any of them trying to defend smaller opponents on the perimeter as they don't have the speed when playing the 4. Those issues will exist with or without Noel.

Disagree, I think Okafor has been absolutely horrendous on D so far. You make a good point in the defending of small lineups. Playing that big vs a team who can put 5 shooters on the floor at once is just a recipe for distaster.

So ESPY reporting that Okafor was involved in a street fight last night.  Wonderful :p

Apparently he and another 76ers player were getting heckled in Boston by someone all night and when they were leaving they followed them out and kept doing it, started getting a bit close to the other 76ers player so Okafor KO'd him stating something along the lines of the situation was escalating and he felt he had to do something to protect himself and his teammate.

Street fight is a bit of an exaggeration then :P Fair game though, I'd probably do the same :P

Found a clip, looks all pretty exciting haha.

Seems like Washington can't really match it with Boston, second massive blow out this year. Hopefully for us we get them in the first round :)

JBs-Hawks

Good too see my Pacers back!

My Chumps

Kawhi Leonard is just :-* :-*

Philly's +10.5 line was crazy value given how shower Houston have been this year!

What we all expected.. Kobe has announced he's retiring at the end of the season.

Fantastic career and I hope this last year doesn't damage his legacy too much

great for the lakers.

will be interesting to see how they rise up now.

would have liked them to go Okafor not Russell.

I suspect Jim Buss will hold them back though.

DeAndre Jordan on track for a 30 rebound game haha

Answer: I shoot a better free throw than him.
