Send Duncan and change to the Pistons for Bojan.

Rozier
Herro
Butler
Bogdanovic
Adebayo

If we can’t win with that, we aren’t good enough.

I swear if Lowry comes in looking like he found the fountain of youth, I’m gonna be asking some questions.


What happened to Lowry? Likely sitting out till the trade deadline atleast I guess, but wonder if he even plays anymore

Took me 20 mins to find the right channel and had to go to Wizards channel with their commentators. Need to find something better to do with my life :lol:

I'm sorry, but at this point Bam should be creating more offense for himself instead of being so dependent on others helping him getting easy buckets. His "offense" the last few games has been absolutely pathetic. Wish he would go back to confidently driving the ball and slamming it over fools. Now he just pump fakes for absolutely no friggin reason and then does that weak turnaround fade away clanker. :banghead:


He’s assisted at nearly the same rate as guy like Embiid and Jokic so he is creating his own offense lol. He has the 2nd hardest shot quality from centers because he gets no help so the being too reliant on others talk is pretty funny. He is also a good scorer out of isolation.

Percentage of assisted baskets: Bam 57%, Embiid 57%, Jokic 56%. He’s getting his won despite not being as good of an offensive player as those 2 guys.

This dude has to score 20+ a night (creating his own offense), be the entire defense, play PG, rebound, screen for everyone, etc. but now he needs to add more to his plate and oh yea, he also needs to start shooting 3s too right? Lol. Get this dude some help in the front court and hopefully we start getting him easy baskets too.


There are assists, and then there are the assists you are expecting others to get Bam. Jokic, Embiid etc all have an offensive game where they are able to have a reliable jump shot or drives to the basket for buckets. Yeah, they are assisted .. but it's like normal assists.

For Bam, he needs to be fed on lobs, right over the basket or we'll rag on the passer for throwing horrible passes etc. It's like we treat him like a toddler at this point. It wasn't like this, as I remember multiple games with him confidently driving to the basket, or even on those jumpshots taking them with confidence without all these unnecessary pump fakes.

This is almost fully on him, and just expecting everyone else to be focused on delivering the ball 2 cms from the basket so that he can dunk it is not the answer.


That’s not true and it’s literally all researchable but I’m not doing it for you again brother

Is what it is. He’s a plus over Highsmith and whatever other combination we’re rolling out at the 4.
