i wish the Bulls weren't ass and could actually catch us so we could get this season over with quicker lol.

I have a high opinion of Joel Embiid and even my most homerist unrealistic ideal of him couldn't carry this trash....especially when I KNOW he's going to be rusty and out of shape which will lead to more Sad Boi hours games...and probably against the goddam Celtics too?

maaaaaaaaan **** that.

Sit his ass down and tank it out ; dare Silver to say anything so I can get to overhyping some trash draft pick that we probably won't keep already

Malik Monk is so cool athletically sometimes

Nurse being less of the mad scientist promised is one of the worst things of this season imo

Batum and Lowry shouldnt be playing together.

Yep I thought he should of went with Council instead of KJ who gave nothing all game.

Sabonis upset about getting hit in the head but with the size of that cranium it's basically in the way at all times

Nurse has not be Nurse this year IMO

doesn't complain to the media for calls. Doesn't do weird ****. Only the bad aspects of his coaching has shown out for most of this season...

The game was lost once I knew he was not playing. People talk about him statistically and how his number are negative etc. But I like the energy and drive that Oubre plays with. I want him on this team going forward.

Yeah he's bad, but he's the only guy sans Maxey willing to go the rim, which is also why i don't understand Council being in jail. Still, he has a negative value and is not a real rotation player.

We have the worst efficiency on the league since Embiid went out and that's basically because teams double Maxey and that's it, no one else can score efficiently with or without Oubre and Oubre himself is not efficient anyways

Perhaps Oubre is "statistically" bad because he is being asked to do too much.

Everyone is asked to do too much right now so, yes. He was bad already with Embiid there anyways.

He's also bad with Maxey

He and Batum are the ones who benefit more of Embiid being there in terms of efficiency. I would argue that in Oubre is a Volume thing

He's a UFA this summer!!!! Had my eye on him for a while. Of course we won't sign him tho.

Perhaps Oubre is "statistically" bad because he is being asked to do too much.

But, he's willing to do it when even Tobias hides. Hield too. In his true role for this healthy roster, I'm a fan. Hell I'm a fan in this role. With Joel, he showed he wouldn't necessarily over step... Hasn't really shot them out of a game yet in this role. Plays hard on both ends.... With his limitations he still is an inside out threat.

Mainly, they need the athleticism too and for his production... The MLE for his prime and his mindset is a value. That's as high as they should go though.

I mostly like Oubres attitude and energy when he steps on the floor. He's not going to give up and is not afraid to take it to anyone. That attitude is adverse to what we have had on this team over the years. Time and time again we have seen players give up even the "stars" during the biggest moments. Atleast with Oubre you know you don't have to worry about that despite his role.

Idk I’m fine with Nurse this season. He had a pretty patchwork group looking like one of the best teams in the league before Embiid got hurt. And he’s shown the ability to elevate the strengths of both Maxey & Embiid.

I think he’s just in survival mode right now given the state of the roster so he’s reverting to some bad habits, like starting Kyle Lowry lol.
