Trez called Luka a b**** a$$ white boy.

Even if Ben Simmons was playing, I can't see how the result would be any different.

Not only Brett Brown deserves the boot, but also the GM for being stupid enough to make this a luxury tax team with Horfraud and max-contract Harris.

Having simmons to guard Tatum and be the primary ballhandler would make a massive difference imo. Not just because bets really good but also because they literally don't have even one other average wing defender or primary ballhandler.

I'd still take the celtics to win but it would be much much more competitive.

I figured out what Nurse needs to do against Boston:

Siakam at Center.

Instead of going against their forwards, I think Siakam at the 5 spot would KILL the Celts.

OG at 4, and Powell at the 3 spot. I think it's essential we run with that.

Embiid is an idiot.

He was just guarding Tatum in the post, dropped back for some reason thinking there is another guy he needed to close on (wasn't).

Tatum sees the openin and just drops a easy floater.

I would murder Embiid if I was coach lol.

When Kanter is posting up Embiid.

I'm sorry I'm trading him this summer.

76ers need to pick either Embiid or Simmons, and at this point i'm picking Simmons.

I'd trade Embiid for Beal straight, 76ers would be such an amazing team.

Horford
Simmons
Tobias
Beal

Yup.

And I think nurse has it in mind. He played that lineup for just a few minute test run against Boston last game for only the first or 2nd time this year.

Pretty shameful.

I mean you have to blow up and fire Brett Brown at this point if you're Philly right? They pretty much quit on each other.

Tobias Harris will make around $40 million dollars for the 2023-24 season. Good on him for finessing someone to give him that much money relative to his basketball skills.

I don't think you can have Harris and Horford on the same team if you're serious about winning, they look like the "take the money and run" type of players and they already got their money.

So do the Sixers have to wait until the end of the 4th to fire Brett brown or do they do it during a timeout?
