We need another big. Zubac is constantly in foul trouble and Trezz is a liability on defense

To be fair, you do the same thing with doc. Some days it feels like you care more about your doc agenda than the team winning.

I said the same thing. Our centers can't be trusted. I like zu before his inexperienced will show in the playoffs. If Noah was healthy, I'd say sign him. But he's not

But zu is doing a great job so far

Bench: Green got 6 minutes, McGruder only 2

Trezz and Zu played 12 minutes each, each with 2 fouls
fortunate neither got their 3rd

just going to put it here that there are 8 other players out there on the floor besides the centers LOL

Planet Zubac :wink:
Planet Zubac!!!!

His presence is felt in the lane. It's not a coincidence our comebacks are in the second and third quarters.




Zubac is playing very well. 5 points, 3 rebs, plus+8. By contrast Trezz is minus-8, but all that came in the 6 minutes he played alongside J-Myke, who was minus-8 in only 6 minutes. McGruder and Shamet were also out there along with Lou. Oy.

But there are 8 other guys out on the floor, folks. Planet Zubac is right. There's a whole other game out there nobody is watching :lol:

The thing is Zubac's only playoff experience was against the all-time great Warriors which was the worst matchup for him to play in. Kind of unfair to judge his performance based on that series. He would play better against the Nuggets and Jazz in the playoffs

I give Doc credit when credit is due. For example, I praised him for giving minutes to Coffey last game.

I've never seen esqtvd say anything good about Zubac without immediately walking it back. Planet Anti-Zubac.

Paul George is 2-10. Paul George needs to show up

Paul George didn't show up in the 2nd Lakers game too. He really needs to start playing better

FTR, I did say that in the other thread. Neither should we hold it against him since he went from G Leaguer to starting center in the playoffs in like 6 weeks. He's doing fine.

It's going to be very difficult to win this game unless we get the Paul George we traded for instead of Playoff P.

Still playing fantastic basketball and you would love with Embiid hitting a contested 3. Shamet looking like the better fit at PG tonight

It's not Thybulle. I can't remember the last time PG showed up against a good team. It's alarming considering how much we traded for him.

Of course we ruin the one stop we've gotten all half by immediately turning it over.
