I'm Starting a Petition 

Post#1 » by Madd Squabbles » Sun Feb 27, 2022 9:45 pm

I'm starting a petition for Doc to stop playing Furk, Shake and Milsap and to give those minutes to Isiah Joe and one of the other Centers who can actually defend, and catch a lob. Who's with me!?!

Furk and Shake give us nothing when they are out there. At least Joe is a willing shooter and defender. We don't need their ball handling. And Milsap is a stretch 4 that can't stretch the floor. Why is he even on the team let alone getting playing time as Jo's backup!?!

I think Millsap can play, but at C, he's completely exposed. The following regular season lineup should be totally doable without requiring any lucky buyouts.

Maxey(32)/Harden(16)
Harden(16)/Green(20)/Joe(12)
Thybulle(28)/Niang(20)
Harris(32)/Millsap(12)/Niang(4)
Embiid(32)/Bassey(16)

Helps our rebounding, shooting, and defending. In the playoffs, Joe and Millsap get phased out.

Maxey(36)/Harden(12)
Harden(24)/Green(24)
Thybulle(32)/Niang(12)/Green(4)
Harris(34)/Niang(14)
Embiid(36)/Bassey(12)
2025-2026 Philadelphia 76ers:

Maxey/McCain/Lowry
Grimes/Edgecombe/Gordon
Oubre/Edwards/Council
George/Watford/Walker
Embiid/Bona/Drummond/Broome

Probably a pretty good chance we'd all hate watching Joe and Bassey if they played much.

Don't add to Doc's shred pile with your petition.

I have been saying the same thing and 100% agree. Why is Furk playing over Isaiah Joe? Can't we give Paul Reed, Bassey, or WCS a small look and take a few minutes away from Paul Milsap so we can see if we have any backup centers on this team?

I'll sign one that makes the base uni either the one from the '83 or the '67 one. Both were understated and classic.

I like the current unis. That said, we absolutely need the 1983 Red/Road unis as an alternate.

Frickin dorks with your petitions! In my day we'd just aimlessly yell at the tv screen when we saw something we didn't like

That's the one. They never improved on it.

Huge fan of the 1978-1991 Reds, but my favorite is the 1976-77 Bicentennial Blue Road jerseys. They're too close to the current Blues though.

I always loved the simplicity of the '66-'67 jersey.

I'm ok with Millsap getting some mins and deserves time to see this through before everyone turns on him. Shake on the other hand deserves to give up his mins to Joe and a couple of Furkans mins to Joe too.

Shake is cool if injuries happen but otherwise should rot on the bench and just be a cheerleader.

Kork at 9-10 mins is cool
Joe at 10-13 mins is even better
Shake at zero mins
Millsap at like 10-12 mins

What if they all suck and you’re a moron. Not stating that as the case, but asking you to consider it as a possibility.

The 76-77 Blue were far and away the best ever made

Isaiah Joe is better than Furkan Korkmaz, but evidently Doc isn't seeing it in practice. I seem to recall Ben Simmons somewhere saying Korkmaz was unstoppable in practice.
