Is there a reason as to why Harden is relegated to giving it up to Embiid and just chilling lol.

Team totally going back to bad habits.

Too much stagnancy in offense, horrible transition defense, puzzling doc lineups.

Morey is never gonna fire doc because doc brought him here.

Again, that's what happens when the coach brings the GM instead of the reverse.

we cannot go to the Biid at the 3pt line offense in crunch time. The whole point of getting Harden was for him to set up Biid for easy looks when teams lock in.

why is this **** rocket science.

We're isolating Embiid on the 3 pt line, is just stupid. There are no plays draw

Yeah he does that every game. For all his greatness he has to do that at least once every game during a crucial stretch in the 4th quarter. It's kind of a fun little game he likes to play with the Sixer nation. We've all gotten quite used to it at this point "hee hee".

Gotta stop getting down big in the first half. Not good enough to pull off huge comebacks every game.

Fire Doc.

This letting Biid playing 1 on 4 fading away offense is a pure joke. It’s ain’t going to work because it’s not a reliable way to score in crunch times.

That’s not what happened. But it is accurate to say a coaching change is and was never going to happen before yet another playoff flameout. So we wait. Pointlessly.

Even with PJ out there this team should easily be a top 10 offense.

The fact we're still figuring out the offense with 35 games in, it's just sad

Ok, he and Brand, whatever, same issue. Brand isn't gonna be fired by the same token even when he is just s figurehead.

some one needs to ask why we went away from the offense that opened up the game.

Biid was getting looks right under the **** rim. Then Doc's bitch ass took him out for like 10 minutes and never went back to it.

Morey needs to solve the back up big situation too.

**** do your goddam job you **** clown.

I legit may stop watching this year...because I swear I almost had an brain bleed lol.

Like I expected to lose but not because we just did dumb ****. The Pels are great; CJ was on fire, and all that jazz but again if me, a dumbass at home, can see the issues why can't **** who get paid for this can?

I am sure the usual suspects will come in with their trade ideas but that doesn't really solve the base way this whole franchise functions does it?

The offense doc draws is give it to Embiid and everyone spread out. The whole teams chances are riding in him either scoring and not turning it over. I can see why the harden to Houston rumoured thing is a thing. He has become a role player in this offense

The Sixers could easily lose the next two and then win another eight straight.

Don’t let it fool you this time.
