Re: GM 26 Sixers V Hornets : lol
I just don't understand all the negativity around Springer, that was just one play but the guy got separation on one dribble.
He's raw but i think he could become an asset in the future.

Agreed, they looked goodphillynative wrote:I recently asked for the hook shot from Embiid. He gave me two clean ones this game. No reason why he can't incorporate into his arsenal consistently dude is too talented offensively.

He seems to be foul grifting a lot less this year. I’m hoping it’s an intentional change because he knows he won’t get away with it in the playoffs.

You guys who watched it - did Harden really need to be played for 38 minutes in what looked to be a comfortable win over a mediocre team?

It was a pretty low effort 38 mins. Mostly just run a PnR and let Joel go to work. I don’t have a problem with the mins but Doc could’ve easily shaved off 4-5 mins without it being an issue.

It's puzzling to me because we have depth, Shake was putting up better numbers than Harden during his absence. I feel like Shake needs more minutes. Both Melton and Harden are logging too many minutes in my opinion. Doc has to do better at keeping Shake involved because that's the only way he's going to help us come playoffs.

At what point are we finally beyond the "Doc has to do a better job at _________" stuff? This guy has been coaching for about 75 years, it really is what it is at this point, right?

Doc is one of the best coaches in basketball doubting him at this point is nuts.

This is sarcasm, right? I like when people add “/s” at the end of their statement, so we know it’s sarcasm.
Example:
I love how Doc has worked on ball security and limiting careless turnovers, especially late in games. /s

This is how I feel. Even though they won going away.

Glenn is not going to "do better". Glenn does what Glenn does because he thinks he's the genius like Pop.

Missed most of the game. Embiid is looking great though. I think this is how he wants to play and Harden is facilitating it.

I’m quite busy today and wasnt able to watch this game. But i kind of know how a Plumlee or Zeller vs Embiid game would go down.
Btw, we’re turning up the switch now.

There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Nope, check Embiid TS% before Doc came here and since he came here in 2020-2021. Numbers don't lie, Embiid got much better under Doc and was held back by Brett. What's lacking is the right players around him, but there is no doubt our best player is in much better hands under Doc.

I'm a super biased homer but he probably gets fouled everytime he goes up. He sells it because if he doesn't, they won't call it because he's so big and strong..but a foul is a foul
