My Quick Takeaways From the 2019 NBA Champion Philadelphia 76ers…..First Preseason Game

tj

1- Joel is a monster, he had a healthy offseason and it shows. His conditioning looked great and he looks fit. Bully ball is coming folks, its coming. Good luck to the rest of the NBA defending that.

2- Ben looks better. He looked very very very comfortable out there tonight, a little too many turnovers but i think he was just forcing some things that he wouldn’t during the regular season.

3- Fultz. Fultz looked good. His passing is extremely above par. Pairing Fultz with Simmons in the starting lineup tonight was a glimpse at the future, with Fultz, Embiid and Simmons being great passers, it’s going to be very fun to watch. Fultz nailed 2 free shows, nothing but net, no big deal, but a big deal. Looked confident in his shot. Also hit a nice HESI-PULLUP-JIMBO that looked very natural. Fultz is back. Oh, and he had a crazy chase down block.

Muscala. He can shoot. He is going to be Ersan from beyond the arc this year but with way better defense, love the addition. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

Bolden. Hit a 3, looked smooth, needs to work on his free throws, a work in progress but i’m confident he can be good off the bench.

Shamet. Hit a very very nice step back 3 tonight that was weeeetttttttttttt. Natural shooter, would love to see him play more in the preseason.

TJ. The Goat. My favorite player of all time. He didn’t play until the Fultz show was over after 3 quarters. TJ did TJ things tonight. Diving all over the floor, immediately picking up his player full court and making it hard to pass half court, taking 7 footers off the dribble for a short fadeaway, hitting 3’s. The dude does it all. FEED ME MORE TJ!

Takeaway……. Sixers 82-0 next season. HAMMER IT! #HERETHEYCOME
