If SIxers lose in the playoffs again, Doc has to be gone. Too much at stake with Harden in his twilight years to be experimenting with the biggest choking coach of all time.


would they still be paying brett next year two? will the owner pay both brett + doc to not coach?


Money has been no object for the owner before. Let's remember Doc was part of the cause for Ben wanting out. If he alienates Harden and Embiid in the playoffs (which he always does, he always blames his players and never takes the blame himself), he's a goner.


Yeah Doc won't get away with throwing players under the bus again, especially after he barely skated by the chokejob last playoffs. Unfortunately Harden and Doc is a deadly (repeat: deadly) combination of choke potential so when the inevitable flameout happens, there will be a lot of finger pointing. Doc at the players and Harden at the refs most likely.

Doc lost the game starting 4th quarter 11 points ahead vs Bucks starters,letting Giannis feast on the mighty Millsap,plus Milton,Niang, Green. Benching Embiid, Harden. Why didn't he match Embiid with Giannis? Giannis had 15-6 run closing 3rd quarter when Embiid rested. Why give away the lead when your starters outplayed Bucks starters. Letting Giannis, Jru get hot vs no Philly center in 4th.
Trading away Drummond hurt them down low . DJ is not replacement
Yeah it feels pointless watching them lose 16 points,15 p,20 points leads every game because there is no rim protection, lenght when Embiid rests, everyone has more talent on their benches. It is tragic seeing great defender like Thybulle benched for Niang whole 4th when Niang bricks most 3s. You can't give away your D for players who can't hit open 3. Maxey didn't get a single play or a decent pass in last 8 minutes...

There's nothing wrong with Embiid. He plays with a perennial choke artist and is coached by the chokingest coach in NBA history.

Embiid must've been tired.

They have very easy schedule after tonights game and the Bucks have a few tough ones still. They could still end up with the 1st seed and that will be enough for Embiid in the end.

Embiid had 40 on Giannis right before All star break. They pretty much played evenly.


Pre-ASB in comparison to now if laughable. Awful take.

I wonder if anyone is going to pay Drummond this summer. He took a lot of blame for the Lakers, but he's still young and one of the best rebounding bigs in the game... just big and physical and if he accepts a role of not getting touches on offense he can help you win.... even if he's just a center splitting time getting about 24 MPG. It seems like some team some where should give him close to MLE money for 3 years.

Refs missed three fouls on the Jazz in three straight possessions. It's the Jazz, so I'll assume it was incompetence.

BRUH. Paul George has had three or four rips in three or four minutes. Literally three or four!

Not going to lie I expected Harden and Embiid to both choke there... It's in their DNA.

Nets needed 39 and 40 minutes from KD and Kyrie to beat the Pistons in Brooklyn.
