Embiid is more stiff than my grandpa. He has to do yoga.

Has a chance to cut it to 9 or 8 and Embiid turns it over and they shut the door. Same old story.

I have some concern about that as well…add Eric Gordon to the list.

Lol you don't want them around Eric Gordon?
Why?

All game long I thought Ricky was out with injury or illness. Turns out Nurse is just brain dead or told to tank. Ricky out scored Lowry and Gordon COMBINED. Ricky had 3 pts on 1 shot. Lowry and Gordon played 25 mins total. Ricky played 2.

It's time for Nurse to go as well, he likes to kill young player confidence. Council has played well the last few games and he deserved the mins. Not only that he was a better matches up for the Pistons

Agree it’s absurd. Continuing to give mins to the corpse of Lowry is a terrorist act. Gordon should have got a quick hook also once he showed how off he was.

I don't give a rats a$$ if he has mallet finger, chicken finger or any other finger....don't play if you're going to be useless.

Im more concerned with Biid’s activity on defense. Duren just outworked him that’s why how ended up up with +26 this game.

As the year winds excruciatingly down; the team should be speaking privately with Maxey about what he needs/wants going forward.

The team failed to do that early in Joel's career, instead catering to the emo cripple Simmons and it wrecked this team. Hopefully they learned from that awful mistake.

You should be directing this towards Embiid.

Joel Embiid is a real cancer for this team right now and Nic Nurse is a tank commander level of coach. THose two are the real issue here. PG doing nothing because Nurse has no idea how to use him.

Joel may be dealing with depression over his knee and facing not only an end to his dominant career but also facing lifelong disability. Team isn't doing him any favors pretending this season is salvageable rather than shutting him down and trying to help him get right mentally and emotionally.

Bottom line is this...Fraud Morey told you Today that you can't win a championship without a top 5 player...that means he's never trading Embiid, even though he's no longer a top 5 player due to injury...Morey is always going to have that belief that if healthy, he's a top 5 player.

As long as Morey is the GM, we are screwed. Nurse needs to go as well....and Harris needs to sell the team.
