If Harrell isn't out of the rotation once Joel comes back i'm gonna be mad

Man! I walked away after the first quarter, come back to see that we are rolling them! Shake doing his thing.

Is it possible the rash of injuries turns out to be a good thing?

I mean Doc has to see what Shake is doing….what Reed is doing….

Doc is great at stunting the development of some of our young talent

I’m hoping this makes us a “team” and a much better one when finally healthy

You'd have to be an idiot to play a proven playoff liability like Harrell over developing Reed and getting him ready w/as many mins as possible. Unfortunately...

Wagner is great and he has an amazing future on the league.........But what a douchebag

Foot injuries are scary so the fact that they all have one scares me long term. But if they recover well, I totally agree. Getting Reed & Shake more comfortable and confident is a huge internal development for this team. Even House & Kork have showed a pulse which has been great.

Time to put Reed back in Doc....

Say what you will about Harrell, but he has a place and a role on this team. I agree that he's useless in the playoffs, but that's not why he's here. Tonight what he is doing is exactly why he's useful for us. He's a bully, an enforcer, he plays physical, he can score in the low post, he's good in the pick and roll. He's depth and good depth at that.

Milton is getting settled in and making good decisions. Same with Reed. Doc needs to eat his crow the fans were right. I hope a reporter asks him after the game.

Sure, the problem is getting Doc to stick to script on when to use him. Perfectly fine with him as an offensive option at the 5 when Embiid is out and we need a boost.

He’s also a vet minimum signing. We always should use salary in the equation. Not just for Tobi.

Also, it's pretty obvious PJ is playing injured.

Didn't play in the 4th last game, and still hasn't seen the floor on the second half.

Ruled out at halftime with a sore ankle

I wonder if we could get away with a Melton/Reed/PJ/Joel line up :lol:

That has elite defense potential

They seem to draft simply on height and wingspan. There’s no true point guard that I can see.

He has been injured for several games. Iam not sure you can keep him out knowing him.

Guys, I watched like 80% of a game and I didn't hate it.

Murray_17 · Post #38 » by **Murray_17** » Mon Nov 28, 2022 1:25 am

Good ass win, it's the magic but still.

Reed is getting comfortable and making less mistakes, Shake is shooting over his head.

I don't think we win tomorrow if Joel doesn't play but at least we're still gonna be above .500.

Team is finally looking as deep as advertised

Dominant win. Can’t say we don’t have depth. The Melton signing was huge. House is bizarre. He has a discombobulated athleticism to him. Tucker will help in the playoffs. Milton and Reed have turned a corner. Niang is much better this year and seems to be a leader of sorts. Korkmaz is playing solid overall. Tobias could be a fringe star player on the right team but he is not a great fit in the end. If he is traded I think we will be fine and probably better if an athletic 3-D is available. It probably won’t happen unless a star asks out and wants to come here.

Also, is Banchero playing hurt? Because he looks like Jahlil Okafor out there
