If they can get some solid guard play, maybe even with Reggie...I like the idea of George led rather than Maxey led only, because while they may suck offensively still... If Oubre, George, Martin and a guard can lock in... There's a chance they can at least play well defensively and maybe get easier baskets.

Lowry has been good this year

but the fact that he has to play so much is **** sad

2 national games where they jump out to ensure they say Joel is suspended for shoving a media member without the simple addition of "for bringing up is child and dead brother"

No one on the court right now can create offense. Tale as old as Sixers.

have we been on the good side of any challenge this year lol

Drummond being awful has been a large part of this bad start. Yabu isn't a 5 so we have been destroyed inside it feels like

NN is just a terrible coach

Yeah. Shooting is bad, but we need to atleast make it up on defense.

What good is our wing depth but we can’t play good defense?

Lakers shooting 8-10 from the field

28th in 3s

becomes a team of Steph Curry's against us

good answer by the bench unit

yeah Drummond may be the issue lol

I’ve missed most of the games this year but Yabusele looks about 10000x better than Drummond.

McCain needs to figure out his GD three ball because that’s the only way he’s going to get more minutes.

Our 2nd unit is playing better than the Lakers 2nd unit which is a positive sign tonight.

76ciology · Post #18 » by **76ciology** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 3:53 am

Offense is just better when we just run a simple 3 man game with a stretch 5. The weave action can only work with Embiid.

WentzerWuver · Post #19 » by **WentzerWuver** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 3:56 am

Only down by 1! We are coming Fakers!!!

Negrodamus · Post #20 » by **Negrodamus** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 3:59 am

McCain is the 4th, maybe 5th best player on this team.

Who will win?
