Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Plus why not play brown in the fourth? Does he have bad concentration? Sure, but he's big and plays harder than anyone on the floor. I think we win with him out there. Take out okoro if he isn't going to touch the ball.

Why is it that hard to inbound though? These are things you should go over in practice. Garland was blanketed from the jump why can no one see that that play was screwed and someone know OK we know to bounce off as a second option by 2/3 seconds to get open. From what I remember no one else even moved. Not love's fault really.

Yeah, a big man should have been coming to the ball as a secondary target. Love never looked for one, though. It was like he was committed to getting the ball to Garland. I could see Thybulle was right on Garland with no separation so I was surprised when Love threw him the ball. He clearly was not open.

That was the only option though. No one else knew to break out.
 
Coach just gets off on this under dog mentality. Don't be afraid to win.

We have allen and Mobley we can play with anyone in this conference.

Their beat writers comment was based of that even with Allen and Mobley, we've never been able to even slow Embiid down. Allen has always struggled against larger more physical centers and Mobley can seemingly get 40 at will against us.
Honestly, even with Mobley and Allen, given the way we've played since New Years I'd say we are pretty much every teams dream matchup right now.

He was committed because that was the play call.

All Bickerstaff had to do was put Lauri up there, and have Garland and LeVert on either side of him making like a capital “i”. Garlands gonna get Thybulle who’s a beast so Brown screens for LeVert which is probably Maxey. Levert and Garland do a 2 man weave. One is guaranteed to break free. It’s a simple concept really. The Heat used to do it with Bron and Wade all the time. Spurs with Parker and Manu. Toronto with Lowry and Kawhi!

Just takes a coach that knows how to draw it up.

They interviewed Garland and it was shown on last night's telecast. He said most of the players on the team say that JBB is the best coach they ever played for.

Rondo specifically mentioned the coaching staff when he said he thought the team could contend

Guys played great on offense last night in a tough defensive game. They missed some shots at the rim that they did not get fouls called on. Every equivalent play the 6ers did.

No surprise they won the game at the line. The team that played worse won, and it happens sometimes. Cavs had great defensive strategy, stopping everyone and playing Embiid 1 on 1.

It was a bad read by Love. He turned it over. Guard on his right was open.

Spot on if this game was reffed even Cavs woudve won by 20 but instead they killed the momentum through 3 qtrs then gave easy free throws to harden in the fourth and then that blatant miss call on Embiid when garland got drilled. The refs really fucked this game over completely by rewarding one team every single call. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch

The missed wide open shots, lobs, the the one play in the 3rd when the 76ers clearly through the ball out of bounds, JBB didn't do anything and the 76ers ended up making a 3 point from Embiid on that play. There was another play Lavert should have just fallen on the ball and he knocked it out of bounds. Let alone the end of game Love mishap...
Those are frustrating plays for me tonight not the fucking 8 missed FT's or the 9 turn over's... Give me a fucking break...

I said it when happened he should challenged that BS turnover non call that resulted in an Emblid 3. It was back-breaking.

Did the two minute report come out yet or whatever that report is...

Those might be one of the most inconsequential things in sports.

At this point, most of our pro sports are just made-for-TV scripted reality shows.

I don’t think so if we are healthy I think we are a match up problem for a lot of teams. Just Allan and Mobley. Not sexton and Rubio
That being said in the preseason I never thought we would be close to 45 wins

Mobley Allan and garland are studs. Lauri much better than nance Okoro still has time to improve. Levert came for free
Stephens, wade, brown are a developing bench
Love is soon to be a valuable expiring. Sexton will be back or traded for value
Cedi is odd man out
Future is bright imo
