Doc now 1-4 since taking over

They took a timeout on a rebound with 1 min left and then got a 5 second call on the inbounds

But to be fair, this was completely unforeseeable. Nobody on this board queried the idea of the Bucks giving a big multi-year contract to Doc. All this ex post facto analysis is distasteful.

Are the first 5, the heaves, regardless of whether they went in? Or are they all misses. And how far out constitutes a heave?

These are total attempts. They are beyond halfcourt shots.

The Knicks are unstoppable lol. OG Randle Grimes Brunson go out and Divo starts playing like Curry

Why is it tone deaf? Am I missing something?

[mdenny]

if the rockets offered Jalen Green in a package for Bridges, i wonder if they would have made a similar tier of offer for Pascal's expiring.

the value with bridges is he’s locked in on a good contract, whereas pascal is seeking a payday and refused to even commit to resign with potential trade partners. he tanked his trade market

I doubt it. Would have been tough to make the salaries work.

Ah OK. Seems like a reach being that he was exonerated. I wonder why they aren't unveiling the statue during a home game though.

Not really exonerated. Woman refused to testify. Civil suit settled out of court. Had all the hallmarks of a payoff really

The 76ers are now 4-12 without Embiid this season. They are terrible without him. They've lost 3 in a row by margins of 15 to BRK, 16 to DAL, 23 to GS.

There are levels to this, especially when comparing guys like Embiid and Maxey. A MVP like Embiid wins you games consistently, a quasi-allstar guy like Maxey can raise your ceiling playing with that MVP player but they aren't capable of carrying a team for any extended stretch. I don't see how they don't fall into the play-in and without Embiid for an entire season, they are probably a bottom 7 or 8 team.
