So much for this being a good defensive team. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to Morey before the deadline.

Yeah we can't win when your opponent is on pace to score 146 points, this is all star game-like defense, not that we should expect much different playing with traffic cones like Maxey, Harrell and company.

Is the fraud GM watching?

Also, if we're going to be this bad defensively, let D'antoni coach the team.

We are 23rd in defensive rtg during january.

We have been coasting on good offense and our numbers look good because of the good defense of november and december.

Once Maxey and Harden came back our defense went to **** again

The forward matchup is killing us

Porter & Gordon 23pts 10rebs
Tucker & Harris 0pts 2rebs

Not surprised

Exactly that's the main issue, teams are torching us with these players playing matador defense.

I don't understand. Just no explanation.

It's Doc; which makes it understandable.

I can’t emphasis enough the intangibles PJ Tucker brings to the table

If we had two or 3 of him we’d never lose

Amazing signing

Well done Morey

Can only imagine Tucker will be even better next year

Embiid with 19 on 17 shoots, Jokic with 16 on 7 shots. How is that outplaying him my man? :lol:

Bum Adebayo · Post #130 » by **Bum Adebayo** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:17 pm

Doc is a bit better than Brett, but Brett was an all time low in terms of coaching, hardly a good thing. We definitely need to find a better coach, it's about time.

Montmorencie · Post #131 » by **Montmorencie** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:18 pm

Doc Rivers being a good coach is the biggest lie in NBA for 21st century.

Jailblazers7 · Post #132 » by **Jailblazers7** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:19 pm

Realistically, it’s impossible to stop this offense when Harden can get beat by a simple back cut at any moment.

NYSixersFan · Post #133 » by **NYSixersFan** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:19 pm

Just a reminder, Morey doesn't think a quality backup C is important. He basically said that.

I still can't get over the fact we got caught tampering for Tucker and House.

Morey has 12 days to save his job.

Everything needs to be on the table....including a Maxey trade.

Murray_17 · Post #134 » by **Murray_17** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:20 pm

Yeah Jokic is playing better than Joel, but whatever, when Maxey missed those FTs we were 3 points behind. That Harrell stretch put us 11 points behind.

Guy is just unplayable on match ups like this

Bum Adebayo · Post #135 » by **Bum Adebayo** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:20 pm

Obviously Harden is a clear upgrade over Simmons, but man does his defense suck. The main thing we need though is to trade Maxey, let's see what offers can we get, because this is not sustainable teams torch us like there is no tomorrow.

nitocobola · Post #136 » by **nitocobola** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:21 pm

no coach can fix this team, especially on defense.

Doc rivers is a fraud, but this roster isn't good enough to beat the top teams in playoffs. Today they aren't even trying on defense,but even if they did they just don't have the physicality

Bum Adebayo · Post #137 » by **Bum Adebayo** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:21 pm

2nd round exit part 5? lololol

Time passes and statistics change my guy, Embiid was like 8/13 when I posted that. Embiid also has more offensive rebounds than Jokic has total rebounds. Both big guys came to play.

Negrodamus · Post #139 » by **Negrodamus** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:25 pm

It was 47-50 when I turned the game on, so I honestly blame me.

NYSixersFan · Post #140 » by **NYSixersFan** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:25 pm

Harden and Maxey are unplayable together for major minutes against good Guards.

It's amazing how long this franchise has had one way players...can't freaking find guys who can do more than one thing like every other teams seems to be able to.

Who finishes with the most P + R + A?
