Game #8: Toronto Raptors 129 (7-1) vs Philadelphia 76ers 112 (4-4)

Sam Hinkie was a good/great GM.... NBA forced Jerry Colangelo to act as a consultant because Hinkie was ahead of his time with tanking. That basically forced Hinkie to quit. Sixers should bring him back as they have done him a great disservice. I hope Sixers continue to lose because of how they treated Hinkie.

agreed, he's was the first to "trust the process"... they are getting there, still need that one player to get them over the hump.

I have to say, I would have never expected to see this from Serge, and wouldn't believe if I hadn't seen with my own eyes, but he put 46 pts and 17 boards in two consecutive back-to-back games, against two of the best teams in the conference, along with some solid defence and rim protection.

"Pascal Siakam, who didn't record a double-double in 136 games over his first 2 seasons, already has 2 in 8 games this season. He's got 13 points and 11 rebounds midway through the 3rd quarter tonight".

we seemed to stumble a bit but rallied back. It is quite evident that having the claw in helped immensely . besides his talent we did not need to reach way into our bench which is difficult with og and fred out.

Nurse is going to be more than alright. Simply based on the fact that he knows how to make adjustments.

A tidy 23 pts for JV...in 17 minutes!! Nice luxury to have.

Off the bench....getting flagrantly fouled to the head in the process.....by the Process

[G__Deane]

Sixers will most likely be the major player prior to the trade deadline.

So is Houston

Let's hope they don't deal for Korver who Cleveland is evidently shopping

I have never seen Kyle soooooo happy but peep Kwahi's hand to Kyle's....damn son!

THAT is the look of love in Kyle's eyes. I bet he feels like he's cheating on someone but STILL so happy ....

Kyle appears to have developed a strategy for dealing with Kawhi's massive high fives - use both hands!

Not that I wish for injuries, but if one of Steph/Durant/Klay goes down, then everything's wide open.

[planetmars]

Rockets are terrible. Portland had one of those "schedule losses". Playing 3 games in 4 nights, on the road, etc.. and yet they beat Houston by 19.

The "Melo" Affect is really strong this season.

[MACK11]

I told yall about Melo. Wherever he's been since he left Denver has gone to shit

Kawhi checks out with 31-7-4-Ben Simmons’ soul, Lowry finishes with 20-12.
