I don't understand why he doesn't play this assertive all the time.

we are actually running offense for him. With Brunson/KAT he's an afterthought.

A big part of this is him not competing with KAT for touches. But Brunson is going to have to take a further backseat on offense when KAT comes back and be our 3rd option/closer because Bridges really needs these touches.

KAT's out and Brunson is playing a little more unselfishly at the moment.

For some reason I get nervous when OG is handling the ball.

I like Bridges but I'm not impressed with anything I see tonight. He needs to do it vs the dam Celtics.

Sixers have lost 8 in a row....lost 10 of their last 11 and are actively tanking to keep their pick.

I think this lineup balance is a lot better. Feel like he could cook as the main scoring option off the bench. Would never happen though.

Brunson - Payne
Deuce - Bridges
OG - Hart
Towns
Mitch - Precious

We really need to get him going. He will be less likely to disappear if he is getting regular offensive attention.

The Bridges hate is kinda baffling to me. The guy is always guarding the other teams 1 or 2 best perimeter player, and then on offense is mostly overlooked in terms of touches and ALSO a TON of wasted motion to be a "Decoy" to both Brunson and Kat.

That's on a lack of offensive creativity by the coaching. It's on them to spread touches in a way that benefits your offensive players.

It all comes down to that. Bridges is for the most part doing what he is being asked to do.
