These refs would've probably let that count for the Bulls if it went in.

We are getting screwed for some reason by the refs, but we really need to stop shooting so many jumpers and go to the rim.

Curruso is locking up Maxey lol . This is my concern with him , you have to be able to have some counters against good peremeter defenders.

Not that worried tbf, it looks like one of those games where variance hit you on the shooting department.

No one is hitting his **** outside of Joel, being down by 11 is a good outcome right now given how bad everyone else is scoring.

You have games like this eventually, let's look if the % go back to normal in the second half

Maxey needs to get going. He's missing something that the guys in his tier all seem to have. I can't quite figure out what it is, but he lacks something. Guys in his tier Garland, Anfernee Simons, Jalen Brunson...They just have another level that Maxey doesn't always get to. Not saying he can't, but he's been on a cold streak these last few games. As soon as he has a real NBA defender in front of him, his game regresses.

Yes, this all day. It's why I'm not completely sold on Maxey being a number 2 guy on a contending team. He needs to shut me up in the 2nd half.

Maxey has to learn what to do when teams sick top tier defenders on you.

its a learning experience and one that will often look terrible lol

He has adjusted before...not worried atm

I see why this team doesn't need LaVine

Biid’s exhausted after going up for that dunk and landing awkwardly

should have stolen Colby when he was benched lol

Oubre has been bad since coming back tbh

phillynative · Post #35 » by **phillynative** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:40 am

It would be nice to have another shot creator

ivysixer2000 · Post #36 » by **ivysixer2000** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:42 am

Well Oubre isn't there yet, needs to drive and cut more, settling for jumpers

Mik317 · Post #37 » by **Mik317** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:42 am

this one seems simple.

they are making shots...some tough ones too.

we outside of Biid aren't making any...even the easy ones.

people think it don't be like that sometimes but it do

Our lack of size at the guard/wing positions is killing us yet again...what a shocker.

This is a game where Springer would be really effective.

Jevon has been open the entire third quarter and he's their only decent shooter outside of white...

AI_Efficiency · Post #40 » by **AI_Efficiency** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:45 am

Why were we helping off the closest shooter who has already hit some threes on that last defensive possession. All to force Derozan to give up a contested two? Awful way to end the quarter.
