That is incredible. I knew Harden was up there but wow ...

Surprised Wilt doesn't have more than 55 considering he that 50ppg season. He really must not have passed much back then. 50 points per game (40 FGAs and 17 FTAs) and only 2.4 assists per game. Yikes.

Tiny Archibald with his leading the league in both assists and points.

And Westbrook. Two guys from this 2016-17.

Philly up two on Toronto right before halftime. Seriously doubt they can sustain the lead, but it'd be a pretty big win for us if they would (race for 2nd and the Nets pick).

We really don't have to worry about the 76ers for the nets pick imo

Yeah if they keep up this pace we may play them in the 1st round!

as much as I loved the Sixer rivalry in the 80's, I'm rather enjoying their long time of futility.  can't see them making the playoffs this year or even next unless they pull off some trades to provide  better balance to their roster

Holy crap.  Embiid deserves to be an all-star this year.  Legitimately.  Game winning-block, goes to the line and knocks both down. 

I don't care what anyone says here... Embiid and Philly are the biggest story in the NBA this year outside of The Golden State Globetrotters.  If anyone here didn't understand what kind of impact a Superstar can make, just watch Embiid's last 8 games (7-1 with the only loss coming to Boston).  In minutes he has played, he's been dominant on both ends.  Those guys are probably too young for this to continue this season, but his impact on that roster is why tanking is entirely justified in this league when you don't have a superstar.

Scary part is that Embiid has significant room for growth on the offensive end.  Scary part #2 is that he's dominating with McConnell, Covington, Stauskas and Ilyasova as his fellow starters.  Scary part #3 is that they beat the Raptors while committing 13 more turnovers.

Scary part #4 is that Ben Simmons has yet to suite up for them.

Scary part #5 is that Noel and Okafor have been non-factors and will likely be traded for more useful parts.

Scary part #6 is that they are getting 1-2 lottery picks in the upcoming vaunted 2017 draft.

Trust the Process.

I do.

I had a feeling he'd be "good"...but definitely not THIS GOOD...THIS FAST.

Love seeing this guy enjoy the game AND playing at a high level.

If Simmons is just half as good as projected and maybe Coach Brown eases up on the minutes restrictions this PHI team could sneak into the playoffs and rough CLE up some.
