@DeliberatingD: "Wait a star player on the 76ers probably come back too soon from an injury and is struggling to start the season?

Must just be washed. Can't think of any other reasons Ben Sim...I mean Joel...I mean Paul George might not be performing at his usual level."

@MaccG22: "The #sixers have bottomed out as the biggest complete joke in the NBA. Despite getting their 2nd win in 9 games, using a minutes restriction to justify not having Paul George play a second in OT even trumps the fiasco with Embiid, who we haven’t seen yet this year."

Via Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers: "Paul George said he got poked in the eye. Said it affected his vision. It was noticeably red and irritated when he spoke at his locker."
