Wow. Have to foul quickly twice and hope they miss at least one.

One of the worst games of the season, and this season has been full of them. Disgusted by this team right now.

It's because we're too mentally soft when Sixers turn up the physicality and defense. I haven't seen a team this rattled and scared on their home court in quite some time.

That's 4 losses in a row now when does the team make a change? Does anybody give a damn?

Sigh another meltdown. Story of the season. I'm not even surprised anymore, I actually expect this. We let anybody and everybody go off on us. How do we have more than 10 turnovers in a single quarter.

so are folks still upset at what Kyrie said or are we going to embrace the truth?

This roster is 18-24. This is a bad team and Marks needs to start thinking ahead on how to reshape this roster before next year. Do you trust some of these players on the floor next season with KD and Kyrie? I don't. Not one bit, and we need guys who aren't going to be wetting the bed in games.

Time for some tough decisions.

Kyrie wasn't even on the floor lmao. The team has lost 11 out of their last 12 Kyrie is part of that...

RJ just said you need to have your best players on the floor. Where's Kyrie?

As Yankees fans, we've dealt with plenty of those too.

It's actually showing now.
1- we ain't good vs pressure D. As I said 5 vs 4 on offense ain't going to do it. Even bad teams did it to us.
2- Kenny have to find a way to beat those guard traps. I mean even blind now can see they abuse our guards. Those high PnR so predictable, those teams just jump them and that pressure create TO. If they get physical it's a blow out.
3- can't have Allen late in the games. Not only he's a liability on offense but he also gets pushed way to easy. This is some taste what playoffs will look like.
4- it's a same thing again. You just can't have them blitz our guards, we ain't got no answer with Prince and Allen both late in the games. Their man are primary blitzers. That alley oop from Din to Allen late in a game.
- Allen gets pushed back but Din beats the trap and through the ball towards the rim with both Ben and Al on him. Allen dunk but vs Indy and Nix those were TO.
- Caris splitting double Thytrash and Tobby but Al gets him with the block ( which should've been foul ).
- Caris gets early double ( Tobby blitz leaves Prince open ) can't pass because having second passing lanes covered TO. Ben gets credit for that covered passing lane.
I mean from 9 min on it got really ugly. You just can't have this double guard dominant offense out there. This system been figured some time ago now. We need Nic or someone else beside Prince take it to the rack consistently. Last year DMC and Dudley were able to, Prince just can't.
On the bright side D got better late in this game, but vs shooting team like Bucks they'll blow us out.

You can't have five all stars on the court and few sitting on the bench. If we want to run this motion offense, we going to need four players who can shoot and dribble the ball. Look at GSW and Bucks for example. B.LO can shoot and Dre can take it to the basket. Replacing Allen and Prince will only get you that far but some expended play book is needed. KD will definitely help but he ain't no answer for all this issues.

Good news is that this can be fixed with few changes. One we need to start Nic and live with the results. Two, hope Caris will improve his jumper. We lost this game in a last min.
