I dread the thought of Tyus or Jase trying to stop Maxey or VJ.

I was saying the same thing and while some of the stuff was a little much. After thinking about it I understand people’s frustration. It is only 3 games and I think we all should remember there is a long way to go and a lot of improvement opportunities. However even with Bane a lot of the red flags are still there and the offense looks just as clunky just faster clunky and way too many turnovers. I think we were all hoping to see some kind of improvement but I fear there was more regression which is a shock.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I hope he does shut everyone up, but lands on a 57-58 TS% to end the season instead of the normal 54-55.

Also going against a wing/forward lineup of Oubre, Walker, Edwards and Broome should certainly be able to get him going. Paolo and Franz should be feasting this game.

I don't disagree, but when a lot of our franchises hopes are based on him improving, people are going to be critical. Just how it is. I agree that 3 games in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean anything though.

It’s a completely new very uptempo style so guys are likely gassed especially on b2b’s, and they’re integrating a third 20 ppg scorer. Team are probably defending PB differently which he’ll need to adjust to.
Losses are obviously not ideal but not surprising considering everything they have to integrate. I also, kind of, think that’s what’s going on with Tyus. Not to mention we never know what version of AB to expect.

Missed threes and a missed free throw, start as we mean to go on.

3 bricked wide open 3s on 1 possession and a bricked free throw. Blame coaching if you want, but you’re not going to get more open looks than that.

Carter is so weak. That’s why you get a Center that plays above the rim.

I don't know how that first one wasn't a foul, but... go home, Carter. Just go home.

Bona embarrassing Wendell. Need Goga in.

Sixers hitting 3s, we’re not.

Wendell is just so mentally soft and it permeates into his physical side so easily.

And subbing Black for Suggs while Carter stays in is just shrinking the court even more. Bona is gonna be back there all game. Sixers are going to dare guys to hit an open jumpshot.

Paolo can’t finish anything. Is this really our primary option?

Serious question. How do you lose your finishing touch all of a sudden?
