The Greak Freak vs. Simmons/Embiid.
They're supposed to be the Top 2 seeds in the East.
Side drama - going to be fun watching Kyle Korver get booed out of the building. Former Sixer - was his first team. Stated his final 2 choices (after the Lakers showed no interest) - were the Bucks and Sixers. We needed a sharp shooter to replace JJ. Everybody was clamoring for him to 'come home'.
All signs pointed to him coming back - Brand even hinted at it in the media - Korver even played with Brand, Horford, Mike Scott on the Hawks ...
Korver chose the Bucks. Not the end of the world as he's horrific at 'D' and old (we just needed a sharp shooter off the bench) - and we signed Trey Burke (also horrific at D) who can light it up but also run the point - but the town felt as if Korver turned his back on them when he could have been the final piece of the puzzle coming home.
Epic BOOOOOOOs will reign down on KK.
He spurned them to sign with the one team who is arguably better than them in the East.
He'll get booed on Christmas.
I'll bet my life on it.
