You know he’s too stubborn for that. I will delete my account and never come back if he changes the rotation.

Tatum and Brown spend too much time reading their own press clippings.

Two of the best rosters we have had in like 40 years and we give em to this **** useless idiot to coach..

But HEY NET RATING lolololol

Momentum changed after holiday bricked a wide open layup, turned it over the next possession, and then casually got blocked by maxey which should’ve been an easy layup had he been faster. The Tatum Jrue and bench unit were up 8 before all that stretch and looked in control but then the team started getting really sloppy and chucking bad shots on offense.

Tatum just needs to look for his shot more, he’s rebounding and making the right passes, but he’s only 3-7, which we need him taking 12+ shots in the second half.

Brown running into 3 players and not passing out when the chance is still available is not a handle issue.

Always see the same damn flaws with thus group. It’s embarrassing time and time again. Do they know how to take it to the rim or just post up? Brain dead chuckers! Lazy defensively etc.

Jays 5-15, Pritchard lost in the desert, not much from Horf, and Kornet?.... Zeroes across the board in 3 mins

Don’t get what’s going on reminds me of the Timberwolves and nets game too where Tatum went quiet for more than a quarter after looking good. It’s usually JB during that time chucking away. Also hasn’t been really touching the ball much either…really weird

How about you convince us who should be coaching instead and make a logical argument for why we'd be a better team with that other guy as coach?

Before you answer, keep in mind we're #1 in the NBA in net rating and we'd be undefeated if White played the other night. So it'd be hard for any other coach to do better.

Our guys just aren't hitting open shots. If they were, we'd have a comfortable lead right now.

Not ‘us’..convince you, because most here see Joe for the mediocre coach he is. This actually reminds me of last year when you kept saying Joe was good because he won coach of the month..this year is net rating through 6 games, two being against bum teams lolool first two real teams they play and they look like ass.

Who should coach? Lol Anybody that has a **** clue would be nice. Philly’s coach was there for the taking..guy with NBA championship experience..

And who says if White played we would have won? White is playing today and we are getting folded. Foh with this positivity BS. Your coach is trash and has been for two years. Wake the **** up.

It’s **** November lmao.

Quit being hysterical.

The Bench needs to be blown up, and that includes Calcified Al,
for some competent NBA scorers/contributers.

Kelly O, Kelly O, Kelly O.

Porzingis outscoring and rebounding Embiid.

The PP needs dialysis.

Maxey exposing White and and Holiday.

And then there's Brown, absolutely non-changed from the previous season.
Whomever proposed Brown for Markkanen was right on the money.

Joe played lead footed Al and Mr Big for nothing for way too long in the 2nd quarter.

Kornet played 3 minutes yo.

3 minutes too many! We got torched! Rather see Brissett or Stevens play the forward spot.

Really wish he knew how to drive and kick. He can certainly go by his man due to pure athleticism but he never turns down a chance to take on 2 defenders in the paint..

JB has three specialties;

Losing the ball off his foot
Running into a packed lane as you said
Pushing off with his forearm which is miraculously not called as much as it happens

I truly believe this Sixers team is more dangerous than the Bucks.

It’s actually painful trying to support this team sometimes because of the ultra negative fans we have.

It’s November

It’s not overreactions though because the team’s issues are the same as what they were last year. They are poorly coached, they don’t play hard defensively, they can’t score if they can’t make three’s and they still rely heavily on Tatum to carry them everywhere. These are all causes for concern and we yelled them out last year in November also..people said it was too early.
