76ers @ Magic 11/15/2024 It's Getting Late Early

[Murray_17]

I think PG looks bad but he's also playing on lineups where no one moves, he's having the ball 90% of the time, there is bad spacing and with a guy who is not a roller and cannot post up like Drummond.

[76ciology]

These PG only lineups are terrible. It's basically PG going Harden but taking even more hard shoots

And Drummond has been horrible in gral. At this point just rotate Yabu with Embiid and make Caleb/Oubre play some minutes at PF

Yes basically. I think we’re letting him play the Harden role. But he’s nowhere near as good as Harden.

[Negrodamus]

I’m not seeing a compelling reason to have McCain off ball. This entire team is lost with the ball in their hands trying to “cook”.

[76ciology]

So all our wings cant shoot?

[Murray_17]

McCain has some of the Brunson footwork

[76ciology]

Franz Wagner is way better than Paolo Banchero

[Iverson Armband]

Wish McCains teammates were as unselfish as he is.

[Mik317]

Biid also lost some lift

[Mik317]

Franz Wagner is way better than Paolo Banchero

stats say otherwise but Wagner has murdered us his entire career lol

I miss all of Paolo's good games too

[M2J]

Can't believe that ball found PG instead of open Jared in the corner

[76ciology]

Ok switching to watch a murder by killa cam in Madison Square garden

[Murray_17]

Franz Wagner is way better than Paolo Banchero

If he goes back to the % from 3 he had his first 2 seasons, yes. If not, no

[M2J]

Biid also lost some lift

Biid wears a brace that should never be removed

Oh, you right. I didnt know Paolo is playing this well this season

[Negrodamus]

My hot take is that McCain is the best offensive player on this team and that's less a compliment to McCain than a criticism of the rest of the team. Maxey is in second place.

I say this taking away the foul merchant stuff from Embiid. PG is not self aware yet. It's over; be a glorified RoCo in his prime now, please.

[76ciology]

Biid also lost some lift

My indicator for this is his rebound numbers and how often his jumpers get blocked

[M2J]

I must say I liked Nurses choice for a defensive lineup on that last 3 by KCP. Kyle, PG, Oubre, Jo, Caleb

[Murray_17]

I see several good flashes on McCain but he was treated like a bust just 2 weeks ago and now all of sudden we have to keep him as a foundational piece.

Look, small sample sizes are tricky.

Still he has several of the things this team lacks, most importantly: he's a great distributor and playmaker. But his offense, even with the good footwork he has, is gonna be dependent on his 3 point % and he's shooting Curry numbers on this streak, that's going to go down eventually ( and if not, throw the bag at him already lol)

[M2J]

George being a playmaker was not what I had in mind. Was disgusted by the all PG lineup. Truthfully that has to be with Jared and the ball initially in his hands. Plus George was too passive, he passed up easily 3 scoring opportunities to just pass to an old guy or someone that couldn't do anything with the ball.

Also, great bounce back from Joel. Looks so much better without even working in the jumper.

Jared is UNTOUCHABLE

[Jailblazers7]

McCain & Yabu stand out because they’re the only ones who plays with any urgency.
