I don't have the fancy Knightro stuff but it's okay!

Hopefully we get to hear:

Thanks Soul. Looks like Franz is still out. Bummer. Can we get a verification on this?

[JoshuaPotter]

Oh just got the twitter page to load. I do not like this starting lineup at all. Okeke / Houstan are such chokers. Couldn't make a shot if it was the size of the Atlantic.

[DiplomaticMagic]

Tired of this starting lineup. Its betting on Caleb to have a good shooting night which most of the time, he doesnt.

[RichCollab]

This isn’t the starting lineup tonight is it? Sigh

76ers defense are licking there chop. 2 v 5 on offense.

Offense isn't much better...3 v 5 on defense. Does Houstan / Okeke even play defense or have an understanding of what it means?

[SOUL]

Lot of hand-wringing but I'd want to hear everybody's ideal lineups. Just curious.

For me, I'm way more concerned about who is finishing the games.

Listen, the only thing I care about this game is that the 76ers don't set some kind of record on us tonight.

I'm not going to complain about the SL but you can't tell me with a straight face that most NBA coaches would choose to start Caleb or Chuma with the roster semi-healthy now. We have 3 PG playing off the bench and none in the starting lineup.

It's def not ideal, I think I want Ingles in the starting lineup if Moe isn't playing on the bench tbh. But when the GT is telling me:

Chuma cant play (but we need spacing)
Houstan cant play (but we need spacing)
Fultz cant play (with Cole)
Cole is unplayable half of the games because of size

All I hear is "play Jett and Black 30 minutes and I'll be happy"

MOAR BLACK

Fultz played 30 minutes last game. I wonder how many minutes tonight.

[thelead]

The only thing that makes sense to me, is we're seeing if Suggs is good enough at point before we trade for players like Lavine or Mikal. I'm not mad at Mose for testing different lineups. Hell, I like it... I'm just not a believer in Chuma and Houstan doesn't appear to be ready for primetime yet.

I would put a point guard in the starting lineup.

The issue isn't so much with this group of starters as it is bringing 3 ball handlers/shot creators off the bench all at the same time (Fultz, Cole, Ingles) and forcing two of them to stand around and do nothing.

Just separate one of those three. Fultz played 30 friggin minutes last time out, he doesn't need to come off the bench anymore if he can play 30 minutes.

[eyriq]

Suggs/Okeke/Houstan/Banchero/Bitadze have played 7 games and 88 minutes with an offensive rating of 111.8 and a defensive rating of 111.6.

In first quarters it has an offensive rating of 110.5 and a defensive rating of 108.9.

This is actually a lot better than the Black/Suggs/Franz/Banchero/Bitadze lineup was in first quarters.

Maybe Mosley actually knows what he is doing?

I'd still like to see a lineup of Black/Suggs/Ingles/Banchero/WCJ though, the version with Goga has an offensive rating of 120.4 and a defensive rating of 100 in 10 games and 24 minutes across first quarters (so bringing Ingles in off the bench).

[VFX]

Where tf is Franz lmao this is absolutely ridiculous.

[basketballRob]

I'd rather have Kevon start over Caleb.
