Game 20: Sixers vs Magic round 2

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

He’s just in a slump and playing out of position. They need a star point guard on the team to show him the ropes.

Yeah, Magic & Rockets not having a competent PG might come back to haunt them. Makes developing young talent like Jabari Smith, Paolo, Eason, etc more difficult.

They have Suggs but he was listed as injured. He seems to be the real deal but that team needs a vet in there to teach all of them. Like what CP3 did in OKC for SGA. Banchero is not a PG, to ask him as a rookie to set up plays and create consistently without NBA experience is tanking in disguise. They might even be holding players out on purpose which is bad management. The young guys have no accountability when that happens. Just my thoughts.

They’re doing it by design. So their non-PG players can do their thing and know what they need to improve while as a team, helps them to get a higher pick.

We’re programmed to lose tomorrow’s Hawks game right?

So since Furk went 3-3 on threes... but didn't shoot any more than that, does that mean it doesn't count as Korklord game? I'd think not since it's not much volume, which means we should have a Korklord game stored up for tomorrow night.

Sixers will lose their next three, then win in Houston to get back to .500. Then hopefully Harden and Embiid are back for the Lakers home game.

Probably a good time for someone to re-post the Korkmaz summer hype video that was last offseason or the one before.

This Orlando team is baffling to me. How can you be that tall and absolutely terrible defensively? I mean, how may lottery picks will it take for Orlando to be even mediocre? Another 8?

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

I doubt they have a college scouting department. They probably just take Leonard Hamilton's FSU offer list and draft the guys on it.

17 points on 6-7 shooting is definitely a Korklord game.

Man at one time we had the best “drunk” shooters in the league with him/Beli and JJ

Still it adds a dimension to the team. He’s a randomised player but they can win important games.

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.

Absolutely. I think when the team was healthy, they opted to try to play Harrell for offensive needs and Reed for defensive. They still have a lot of inconsistency at that backup position. I mean just look at the 2 magic games... Reed was really bad in 1 and great in the 2nd.... Still with foul trouble.

I think the encouraging part is that the coach is willing to play that position depending on matchups and depending on productivity in game. We've seen games with Tucker successfully playing that position... First wizards game... and games where either Reed or Trez don't play at all.


But to the same note....I think a lot of people see the play of some of these guys recently like shake, and they expect that to turn into great backup play when the team is healthy. For shake specifically, he clearly needs the ball to catch a rhythm. But, with the top 3 scorers returning... Is he able to adapt and find a scoring rhythm with the ball less, or is he just depth for when one of those guys are out?

The 2 centers also need to find the ability to make an impact with less time

[Zumramania]

I think they should find a way to incorporate Shake into the playoff lineup. Either that or pump him even more and include him in a trade package with Tobias for a 3&D wing.

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.

Doc eat his own crow, that won't happen. If a reporter asks about Reed's progress, Doc will bury Reed further down on the bench just to prove a point.

It's amazing a blowout win without our star players and there are only 3 pages of posts. And one page is basically about Luca. The 76ers fans on realgm are getting spoiled.

It’s the holiday season man lol. I’m at my in-laws and would have to eat sh*t for the next year if I said “I’m gonna go into the other room to watch Sixers/Magic and post on RealGM”.
