Once again, get the grip, Billy is doing that for 3 years, every guy on the bench is called a scrub and cannot get a normal possesions on offense just because we finally found our new Harden. Like last year. Like 2 years ago ...

Pls hand me the advanced stats with Schroeder on the floor, he is like 2x worse version of Kanter, the way Philly abused him, and its already set in stone he is our finnisher ... What are west contenders gonna do to us on offensive end is gonna be ...


the defensive splits with schroder are very similar to kanter.

my nickname for schroder is dion kanter.

Is Tferg becoming everything this team has needed at the 2?! Its so refreshing watching him develop. When Adams got that board off that AWFUL russ shot and Tferg was open i felt quite calm. Like he might be a 3 and D 2 that defenses have to now respect

I don't understand this freakin' team.

In this 2-5 stretch over our last 7 games, our two wins have come against playoff teams and four of our five losses have come to non-playoff teams (three of whom really suck). I don't count the LeBron-less Lakers as a playoff team even if they will probably still end up making the playoffs.

And, we're really close to being 3-4 in our last seven games with that "almost win" coming against the Spurs in San Antonio. Our own bad play in regulation (getting behind by double digits) and then a major screw job in the 4th and OTs cost us that one.

These numbers very much match the eye test. Bench rotations are so rough. Dennis needs to go. Yea yea he gets buckets but he is so bad for this team. I never thought id see another kanter situation on this team but here we are.

He is.
It makes it really interesting what happens when/if Andre comes back. Dennis Schroder shouldn't ever see the floor when that happens, but how does that play in the locker room with him being cut out of the closing lineup. Schroder honestly should see Felton minutes if Dre comes back, but he would probably pitch a fit.

**** em. Do it anyway

Since starting the season 1/14 from 3, Ferguson has made 45 out of of his next 106 3s. 42.4 %.

Our offensive output since the Portland game is the equivalent of the 2nd best offense this season. If only we could stop being G-League level bad defensively when our starters leave the floor, we'd be 5-2 over the last 7 instead of 2-5. :banghead:

I was just thankful that Abrines wasn’t on the receiving end of that pass

I know Russ got heated, but it seemed pretty clear that’s Embiid gave a little extra shove on that play

Butler and Ferg :rofl:
