See how productive Martin is when he puts down the beer bottle for two hours straight?

I went with light beer for a few days, I guess it worked. Life gets hazy for me from time to time

What is wrong with Mitch, why so fragile? is this the same injury or we have new thing every time? I mean, why is he always on the injury list?

Looks like he tweaked the same ankle.

Right behind Mitch I’m concerned for Huk’s durability.

I think I’d start Yabu or Deuce.

Yo he has been this fragile since coming into the league, but he can dominate a playoff series all by his lonesome

I'd throw Huk into the fire and see if he can take the minutes. If he is not durable, we move on from him and find someone else. We can't have 2 centers that are not available all the time.

Our championship season starts tonight!!!

We always overvalue and overreact to the season opener but remember guys it's still just 1 of 82 games and tonight doesn't make or break our season. I kind of expect this team to get off to a semi slow start and start off like 5-5 the first ten games while they get used to Brown and his new system. But I fully expect to end up with 50 plus wins and back in the ECF if we are healthy.

Not having Hart and Mitch really hurts tonight. Rebounding will be key. Expecting a close game with 5 minutes left and I like our chances with JB.

Mitch injury situation is a problem. Seems like its related to the ankle which goes all the way back to the Embiid incident. This has been a long lingering issue. Hart's back being reported as a "non-issue" at first and yet he's still not playing and practicing is a problem.

Expectations are sky high, but there's some red flags already.

Some pretty tough Eastern Conf games to start the year, have to be level headed about how this all transpires.

Seems like it'd make sense to just have Josh get the surgery to fix his finger now, let the back issue heal, and get him back healthy in the new year.
