I was getting hyped for a potential Dario Saric triple-double, but it didn’t happen. He fell just short, notching 9 dimes. I blame Ben Simmons for hogging the ball, Jerryd Bayless for sucking, DeMar DeRozan for scoring so many points, and Joel Embiid for being injured. I do not blame Saric himself. He did all he could, and it wasn’t enough for a win or the trippy-doobie.
The 76ers are suffering a little bit after their hot start. 76ers fans will blame the general quality of refereeing their last few games, but I think they’re just coming down to earth a little bit. They’re still a young, inexperienced group, with the talent to get hot for stretches and look like a solid playoff team. Other times, their offense is a mess, no one can hit anything, and Embiid starts to wonder how sweet things would be with the Lakers.
I’m sorry. I shouldn’t say stuff like that.
