Season Record

76ers: 8-6 (Eastern Conference)
Jazz: 8-5 (Western Conference)

The 76ers need to take the hit and just trade Ben Simmons for whatever they can get.  A couple mid-level players and a pick or two would be better than the big bag of nothing they have now.  With Joel Embiid missing games because of Covid protocol… they are vulnerable.  So vulnerable that they find themselves 10-11 point underdogs.  Matisse Thybulle is stepping up in a big way with the stars gone and Tobias Harris is always Tobias Harris ( a near all-star that puts in quality basketball stat lines)... When Embiid gets back they could use a couple of extra guys to simply play… Ben Simmons doesn’t play.

The Jazz are always the Jazz.  Waiting for the big breakthrough game where Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert become the duo that leads them to a championship.  In speaking of perfect kismet for a moment… The Jazz could give Philly Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles for Ben Simmons and both teams would be better than they are now.

Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction 


Our prediction for Tuesday, November 16th is…  Utah 109 - 76ers 100

The 76ers to cover.  It makes no sense to give 10 points to the Jazz.  The Jazz do just enough to win… and not always that.
