I hope Mike has a quick recovery, since we are going to see the game on Friday. Also see there is a fan bus for the March 15 game against Sacramento. $75 per person.

Finally got to Philly but a bad night for Mike and the Sixers. Mike played 17 minutes, 1-8 shooting (0-6 from 3), 3 rebounds, 1 turnover. Appeared not at full strength. I wish they wouldn’t rely on him as a 3-pt specialist. Overall the team just doesn’t play tough defense and without Butler, have limited consistent offensive options.

Much better game for Mike last night. Maybe he's over his illness. Played 24 minutes, with 8 points, 6 boards, 3 blocks, and 1 steal. Hit 4-7 from the field.

Mike with 11 points in 18 minutes tonight. Hit 3-4 on threes. Had 3 assists, 1 block, but only 1 rebounds. Sixers lost big on the road to the Spurs.

Nice game for Mike tonight, as they pulled away from the Knicks in Philly. He had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in 26 minutes.

Not a good Christmas game for Mike. 1-9 shooting against Boston.

ESPN on twitter with a video of Mike blocking a shot by James Harden:

The Sixers got a big win over Houston. Mike only had 2 points but did have 5 rebounds and played 24 minutes - more than he has played in recent games.

Seems like an odd way for an interview/discussion to end. And it seems there are a few obvious questions that weren’t asked. I would have asked how it feels playing on a quality team hoping to go far into the playoffs. What he feels his best qualities/skills are on a basketball court. Throughout his career he’s always had a good mid-range game, is he comfortable with his role on the Sixers predominantly shooting threes? Just a few off the top of my head.

Those are VERY solid numbers. If he could be more consistent, his PT would increase.

I think overall, Mike has had very consistent playing time, even when he wasn’t playing very well. His defense is below-average so to help the team he has to hit shots, namely 3’s. And to be frank, he hasn’t been consistent with that. In my view, Mike has been given a great opportunity to be in the rotation for a contender and maybe hasn’t taken full advantage. At the same time, I think Mike offers more offensively than being a 3-point specialist and I do wish he was given more of a chance to use those skills.

With the lineup that the Sixers have, their need is outside shooting. So, for now, that is the roll that Mike has to fill.

Mike had 5 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, and 1 block in 21 minutes in a road win vs Golden State last night. The block came in the final 1:30 of the game - vs Steph Curry on a fast break:
