I don’t believe he’s a very good in game coach, he makes out his card Ahead of time and sticks to it be damned how the game is going . I could be wrong - just my personal opinion.

Because we almost pissed it away late?

Not a Doc guy by any means but we never slammed the door enough to be comfortable.

I know why, I guess my question was more rhetorical in a bit of frustration. How do you get young guys comfortable playing meaningful minutes without throwing them into the fire, and what better game than one against a team like OKC? Another rhetorical question.

The starters 'pissed away' the lead when they came back in late, but that game was never in doubt. I get that the Sixers have an inate ability to lose games they should never lose, especially at home.

He never gives guys a chance to weather a storm and learn how to close. You don't know when you might need them in a big spot at some point in case of injury. And on a back to back, with a good team coming up on the back end, getting Embiid out as early as possible was the smart play.
