Hood laid a massive egg tonight in his start

Embiid came back in and changed the complexion of the game.

Dude you hateeeeeeeee LeBron.

I love LeBron but he left Dario Saric, a knock down corner 3 point shooter, in the corner because he was too busy watching the ball, which you can find countless embarrassing videos of him doing this year leading to a constant barrage of threes by his matchup. LeBron has been a bottom feeder in terms of defending the 3 this year despite being a great defender of the 3 his whole career and the entire league is based on how well you shoot and guard the 3.

So instead of just going with your constant lazy takes on how I "hate" LeBron, how about you watch him out there getting shredded by every fucking person he's defended this year and explain it for me if it's anything besides LeBron fucking up constantly.

We are failures. Starts with lue

 

[Tlyons]

Timeout philly???

 

[bboy]

Nance did a great job against him I thought

If his defense is weak in the playoffs let me know. Idk why everyone gets so worked up.

Because how are the new guys supposed to learn how to play playoffs defense WITH LeBron, if LeBron waits until the playoffs to starting defending?

Fuck off.

 

[FritzLn]

so are the raps/celtics the favorites again?

I can’t comment on the game because I’ve hardly had time to watch or pay attention, but obviously, we have some work to do. A lot.

We did reboot the season 54 games in though.

Love goes out
Cedi becomes a rotation player
Half the team is traded
4 new heavy minutes guys added while Love is still out.

Some of our fundamental weaknesses personnel, coaching, and scheme wise may not change much but we need every single one of these remaining games to get these guys familiar with how to play together and how to communicate together. And obviously having Love back will be huge. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy.

But it’s probably going to be an ugly grind all the way till the start of the playoffs. Which, unfortunately has been our par for the course this season.

All that really matters though is not what they look like they’ll do in the playoffs, but what they actually do in the playoffs, for better or worse.

9-31 from three.

When they don't make threes, they don't win.

 

[Stark]

Fuck you Saric.

 

[Pjlea28]

Just realized Philly has 4 players out there as tall or taller than anyone we have out there. So freaking small. No wonder the whole team collapses as soon as someone even thinks about driving.

That SHOULD encourage them to pass/move the damn ball.

Try Loser is chronic diarrhea that never ends.

You can try flushing but he still leaves a very foul and unpleasant odor.

 

[SteelSmack]

Nance did a great job against him I thought

...

Nance did a great job, but when you play him 14 minutes straight, he eventually gets tired. Really need to start him if he's our closer. Or you need to sub out TT sooner and give Nance a rest some time early in the 4th.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Hill should have been in over clarkson. Needed his defense and passing

Over Hood. Wasn’t Hood’s night, and Clarkson’s can score when he’s not on fire from three.
