Game 62: Memphis vs 76ers

[brannigan73]

This team without Embiid and Maxey is complete garbage. And we are always so small besides Embiid. We need to bring in Drummond this offseason he is perfect for what they need as a backup center just a guy who can lock down the defensive boards and be a presence. Can we get our four secondround picks back for Hield and Cam Payne? Buddy cant make a layup.

[Mik317]

Now obviously you are going to be bad without your best players but goddam

[76ciology]

Grizzlies is doing a great job sending help defense. Once we have Oubre/Tobi on those favorable position they’re quick to send help and clog the passing lanes.

Martin has to be more aggressive and make up for his lack of length if he is the designated C in this small ball unit. If he can’t be aggressive then we better play Council here.

Yeah but the Grizzlies are also injured. There crap is better then ours lol. To be fair Jackson Jr is 1000x better then our best player in uniform for us Tobi. Ultimately its better for us to lose and increase our draft slot 6, 7, or 8th slot is the same outcome a loss whether Embiid plays or not and thats where we will be.

Not a good time complain about this when you are against Grizzlies ...

There is no reason for Cameron Payne to take this many shots on the clutch. Tobias is just looking at him chucking

[Mik317]

I really wish Biid would just sit out the rest of the year...put us out of our misery already lol

[Murray_17]

Holy **** Payne is horrible lol

It was never going to go well with Embiid out unfortunately. But consistently losing these double-digit leads is quite concerning.

[Negrodamus]

It’s very funny to me that Tobias defers offense, particularly in crunch time, to vet min Kelly Oubre. The off-season can’t get here fast enough.

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

I'm not checking out, but this isn't looking good. Too many different players, too many moving parts, too many injuries, not enough continuity. This has truly been a chaotic season. It's for the best that Jo sits the rest of it out.

[NYSixersFan]

All these injuries will give Morey and his defenders an excuse for his incompetence.

Look at the next 12 games...Do you see more than one win? maybe two?

I wouldn't bring back anyone on this roster currently not named Embiid and Maxey.

And some here still advocate for resigning him.

I want someone to make a compilation of all the loose balls Tobias fails to get when he and his papi go to the negotiation table this offseason. Just a very soft, unathletic player.

[Iverson Armband]

I can’t think of a more unlikable player that’s ever been a Sixer than Tobias Harris.

And that is really saying something.

Tobias will bounce back
Maxey will play
Eventually all the injured guys will play

We’ve seen it before

See you next game

All true and yet this is why you pay Tobias the money he is making to be the focal point and show up big time in games like this. Not to be average / below average. It's a contract year you have center stage and you still can't get it done it's just crazy. And I like the guy but basketball wise he just does not get it done night in and night out. Which is what this team need right now.

I'm refraining from delving into a lengthy response that delves into the history behind why we should re-sign him, explores alternative options considering team fit at the time and his fit when everyone’s healthy, and evaluates the availability and capability of other top players from competing teams, as well as the capability of other third to fourth options.

However, I recognize that I'm unlikely to sway the argument due to recency bias, and honestly, it feels like beating a dead horse at this point, especially since I've repeatedly expressed my willingness to replace him with more talented players.

I've even crafted numerous trade proposals, one of which involves Pascal Siakam, who I was told wasn't a good shooter, but I invite everyone to examine his current statistics. Upon reflection, he could be the ideal candidate for games like this, where he's accustomed to being the focal point and is not averaging just three rebounds per game like Bojan Bogdanovic.

In conclusion, we all have plenty on our plates, and it's wiser to conserve our energy for more productive pursuits than to continually rehash the same arguments.

This is a game they should've won. The last 2 in fact. Just saying Nick Nurse
