I think everyone is overreacting. Vaughn probably just wanted to see the other guys get extended minutes. Remember that time when someone said Hark would be out of the rotation? Lol. Fournier.....smh.

This is concerning. I can only imagine what people will say when we lose the 4th game on 5 nights on a long road trip. "Break up this team" lmao.

I'm not surprised at this result. These line-ups used probably didn't practice too much together as a whole. Glad to see our guys win the 2nd half though.

Great showing by AN, he needed the confidence, and I'm sure the staff needed to get confident in using him.

Wait, did people actually expect us to win with 1/5th of our starting lineup? And the only starter playing his first b2b? I mean it's been amazing we've been winning without Dipo and Frye as it is, but the reason we've been winning is Harris and Vuc, make no mistake. Those guys ARE our offense without Dipo and Frye in the game.

While that's true, did you look at the starting lineup of the Sixers? Bunch of undrafted d-leaguers... so yes, we should have won, and we probably would have had fournier and green not royally sucked at shooting the ball that night. It's not a big deal though because like you said that wasn't anywhere close to what our team will look like in the regular season.
