Jimmy carrying as usual.
Let's hope he can keep it up. If we're determined to try to make some noise in the playoffs, we need that 6th seed, period.

Need Herro to train on FT baiting with Butler. Might help him on those month long droughts where he shoots 33%.

Considering he was 8th in the league in rebounding before love got here I would highly disagree
caleb martin and herro has had more rebounds than bam most of the time. i know because i have watched the games

That’s pretty interesting. They must both be top 7 despite on averaging 1 more rebound than him combined

Playing against Jimmy must feel like playing against Embiid and harden. At least he doesn’t flop like crazy but he sells contact in other ways, he has the refs in his back pocket

Loved that Herro-Bam play to start the quarter. Any thoughts on why we can't hit Bam on lobs more? I do notice that we seem to always be looking for it, but for one reason or another its not available 9/10. Even enough to draw a foul, which would be super helpful.

That would help a lot with Bam's offense I think. Part of it is probably Herro not attacking fast enough off the pick, but Bam also not rolling hard enough either.

Max is completely lost on defense now too. Good lord.

Just let them get open 3s... ugh.

Can’t guard a soul since the ASB

The paint is always crowded, even coming off the pick. It's why Bam developing the midrange became so necessary. If he can develop a 3 it becomes more deadly cause a big would have to stay out there to guard him and free up the paint a bit.

Not playing Dipo is weird. Of all people he definitely should be a key part of the bench.

No Dipo is kind of shocking coming off a very efficient game for him considering he’s easily our 3rd best defender

Team looks like it's working tonight. Need 48 minutes please.

Dillon Brook's hair is hideous wtf

Great pass/read by Lowry

Yep. This play was dominant to start the year, teams adjusted and majority of the time stay attached to Bam and send 2. So much so now that I think the passers are a little shocked when it’s open now and we miss it a decent amount

Dipo is a guy who would get pissed about minutes also. He still thinks he is the player he was (and confidence isnt a bad thing tbh).

3ammy3uck3ts · Post #58 » by **3ammy3uck3ts** » Thu Mar 16, 2023 12:28 am

Lowry is playing very good and smart

Definitely weird.

Maybe Spo is trying to see what he has with everybody, going into the final stretch run of the season. That rotation is going to have to get shortened in the playoffs for sure, so needs to know what he's got to work with.

If we had Strus, Herro and Duncan consistently hitting 40% from 3, we might never lose.
