Convince me not to take PHILLY +9

That Philly team 

They were terrible the same way man. I think ppl just refuse to accept that Philly lost the off-season. They lost Reddick and butler... Those were the two leaders on the team and of course put it together for them.. bringing in horford was never going to make them better.. and he is overpaid. Saying they played better when they struggled to beat the Knicks etc among other showings.. I just don't see.

Do I have to say for the 356th time in this forum for the coach to get fired? Do I? Team looks disinterested and there is NO gameplan. Embiid chuking up 3s all game...

They are 21-2 @ home....Now they go home and watch them play totally different....

Yes but that does not mean that they are in a good state. 21-2 is impressive but a lot of good teams are playing exceptionally at home this year. I fire the coach before I ship out Simmons or Embiid

It's not his fault lol. Why do ppl always think it's the coach. He's got a star player that can't shoot.. won't event try to shoot.. has practiced in the off-season and still won't try to shoot when he encourages him. doesn't that alone tell u he mentally weak lol. Embiid although a bully fits that exact mold.. if shit don't go his way he gets frustrated and pouts.  This has nothing to do with the coach.. they are a bunch of kids.. like a college team. They don't have consistent shooters like they used to.. etc.. 

You know whats worse than blaming the coach? Blaming the players even though they clearly have enough talent to win it all. And a real coach would work with his players to fix their emotions and make the whole team work. Its 100% the coach. Watch the games. Nothing is schemed and they have no real style.

Your blaming it on Simmons? Without a jumper and a crowded floor with no spacing, Simmons is averaging 17,8,8 and 2 steals. Clearly he is not the weakest point. 

Joel Embiid also weak? He is averaging 23 and 13 with Horford blocking the paint a lot of times. 

 Fear the Deer

What talent do they have to win it all lol. What are you seeing? Simmons won't even shoot a jumpshot my man. Talk basketball and not stats lol. That's mentally weak. He trained in the off-season working on his jumper and still won't shoot . That's a mentally weak man... That's not an opinion. That's a fact.  They do not have a team to win it all.. they lost two if their best players in the off-season.. they don't have consistent shooters .. ppl keep overrating them because of Simmons and embiid 

What if they were 16-7 @ home and 13-14 on the road...Samething....at the end of the season its about total wins.....Look at the Mavs...They are the total opposite of Philly....Now if Philly start losing @ home then ofcourse Brown would get fired....

Listen, if you think this team does not have talent then IDK where to start. They have the most talented and defensive lineup in the NBA. 4 max players and 1 defensive slasher threat. Name another team with that? 

You are one of the people I hate because of your Simmons hate. You think he sucks because he doesnt shoot. So? he is still an all star and can be a franchise player. 

On the road is where your team really gets a challenge. Its where guys get tested and where coaching has to take lead. There has been none of that. Come playoff time they could be screwed very quickly. 

Can't be a franchise point guard if you won't shoot.. it's that simple. It limits your team. I'm calling a spade .. he's a mentally weak player .. here it is you've got Giannis not afraid to look like a fool and actually shoot or airball but keep trying etc.. hell even this game.. he knew he had to try hitting the jumper early.. mofo still kept trying hit a couple... Simmons won't even try to shoot... But yet in still worked on it in off-season.. he's a mentally weak person dude . Those are the cold facts. They are not as talented as you make them to be . Are they more talented than heat.. hell no.. heat got shooters for days and actually aren't mentally weak lol... Are they more talented than bucks.. hell no.. bucks have shooters and aren't mentally weak lol..  are they more talented than clippers . Hell no .. Toronto.. ok I'll give u that lol but Toronto is mentally tougher 

embiid is not tough enough and ben is not skilled enough. they need to run more offense thru horoford. he was balling with boston 

Same situation as before.... Bucks 8.5 favs on ABC prime time.  Play it again or ???

Embiid stated that he is the best player in the world 

That he did... take the over on the Gigi points scored prop 

Home Philly is the Play road no way line should be 11 or 12 

For the most part Philly shows up against big opponents. That killer instinct comes out in Embiid and Simmons against top opponents and on national TV. It's no coincidence Embiid made those comments just before he plays the greek freak. He's coming out with something to prove. If they can keep Horford on the bench as much as possible, they should keep this one close.

If id bet player prop for this game that would be Giannis to score over 30.5 

yea... Giannis = Gigi
