PG: Back to .500 (5-5)

[Airmiess]

So Ingram ruined his rep in the league ? on reddit they're showing he threw 2 water bottles and got the staff wet.

Finally some passion on this team. Someone who cares about losing.

So it's really a nothing burger ?

[canz55]

Our roster is good but the pieces don't fit for how we play.

Case in point our fast break opportunities leaves a lot to be desired.

The BI tantrum was just weird, especially just going on after like nothing happened. He's usually super chill so that was the most emotional/upset I've ever seen him. I don't know if he apologized or not but if some other random player did that to one of our employees I don't think people on here would be so forgiving. At least I hope not? But some people are just sociopaths I guess?

Anyway, his lack of physicality is something that we knew about before we came here but he was traded for his scoring/midrange ability and he's fulfilled that part of things. I don't think the loss falls on him in any big way. The lack of a real big to deal with Embiid/Drummond off the glass was probably more of a factor imo. Contrary to what ppl think CMB and Scottie aren't really cut out for that role at least in any sustainable way over a full game. They owned us on the glass and in the paint despite shooting worse from 3.

Our guards last night.

More Mamu, more CMB and more Gradey and we might have won this one. Darko's choice to put Scottie on Embiid was a disaster. Mamu didn't come in until 2 minutes left in the 3rd. He's been our best bench player every single game and we were dying for size all night.

Ingram and Barrett were especially bad defensively. Just repeatedly late and not ready. I wasn't really happy with Scottie's help D, either, but he had a legit impossible match-up to worry about.

Scottie just stood under the basket on 3 possessions where the 76ers got easy transition buckets. He's not a big enough star to do this.

He was in foul trouble, issue was not having another big there with him.

[MoneyBall]

Can we take a moment to appreciate CMB's performance? He looked phenomenal, really gave them great minutes off the bench.

[TorontoBarneys]

Fanbase wants dirty & mean players and then gets their vaginas in a twist when they act like dicks.

???

They are first in the league in fastbreak points. Pretty sure they said something like that last night.

I think it looked worse last night because you have to rebound to run and well....

[hyper316]

Did Matt/Jack say on broadcast that BI's midrange percentage is highest in the league?

[MoneyBall]

Feel bad for that guy who got hit by the water bottle. Man is just doing his job providing for his family. Shouldn't get injured by tantrum throwing millionaires who throw a round sphere into a hole for a living. Not apologizing instantly is also super **** weird. I'd understand it if Ingram was some young awkward kid, but dude's almost 30.

Doesn't look like Ingram realized the bottle hit someone, so it doesn't make sense to expect him to apologize right away.

It is ironic that Ingram got a delay of game for trying to shake off pain from an injury and not for deliberately spilling water everywhere lol.

This was even before the foul trouble. I can understand the lack of resistance after the 4th. He has to do a better job of beating players to spots, especially when Poeltl is out.

But like I said, more Mamu and his job gets easier. More CMB and his job gets easier. Less RJ and Ingram and his job gets easier.

[Shakril]

Great first quarter, tried to get back rest of the game but not enough

How many more games would've we won if we had another C? Add this game to the count

To be honest, we lost cause darko had again weird rotations. Why hasnt played Battle more? How bad must someone play until he gots yanked? Ochai, Walter and Dick were awful and Battle still cant get a runway.

[Shakril]

I am not angry at the loss itself.
But i am angry that we dont play Battle who clearly is better right now than any of ochai, walter or gradey.

This game could have been won, even without Yak to rebound.

[Shakril]

Tbh if they knew Jak wouldn’t be playing b2bs why wouldn’t you save him for tonight instead

A win against ATL has the same worth as a win against 76ers.

Againt ATL its easier to win.

I would have done it the same way.

Also ATL was a cup game.

[Shakril]

Who did we give up a Tribble double to? Lol

I wonder how long they'll go without giving us a true backup center. My bet is on all season.

This will be our 6th year without a real one so...

Poeltl missed 57 games the last 2 seasons and showed up to camp out of shape and hurt. Inexcusable that we don’t have a backup for him.

Most games Poeltl missed, where either due tanking or extreme precaution (tanking). And the reason why he was out of shape, was his back.

I only mention it to say: Dont worry about him. But yeah, a backup C wouldnt be bad. Just someone that can rebound and defend a bit.

[Shakril]

getting crushed on glass and on d...and yet cmb only plays 22 minutes...we lacked size and he was playing great and grabbed 7 boards

He is still a rookie and he plays out of position. You need to be cautious not to burn him out.

[Shakril]

Been a fan of Watford for a while

Wanted him last year

How does he play outside of last night?

[YogurtProducer]

Most likely tired, you can see his shots were front rimming. I still like BI, you need someone in the playoffs.

He's actually been decent on defense this year. Was horrendous tonight though.

He’s drastically improved our half court offense. We need him.

It’s extremely difficult to acquire a player of his calibre.

It arguing that, just like for a time we needed Demar.

Once you are a serious team though, Ingram gotta go. Hes not elite enough offensively to make up for his defence.

I didn’t say give him away, I just hope he’s the main piece in a consolation trade if one ever were to arise

[WaltFrazier]

Watch on YouTube

I caught this incident on TV but didn't know what led to it. What was he upset about?

Is BI a possible bad attitude, or a fiery competitor that you like to see
