R2G3 - 76ers vs Celtics - May 5 7:30pm ET ESPN

Let's hear ideas about how to improve this roster without blowing it up.

Any ideas on how to improve will be far more insightful than the same regurgitated claims you make.

[Murray_17]

Both of them didn’t have bad games what are you watching?

They killed Harden and Maxey defensively and hit timely buckets

lol

Brown was barely above efficiency and had 5 fouls with as many assists as tournovers and Tatum was barely above water until his last 3 shots.

I'm not the one who needs to re-watch the game

[Bum Adebayo]

Oh quit being stupid.

Why? it's been 6 years since 2018, never getting out of 2nd round, enough excuses, are we really going to keep running it back until 2027 or something?

Yeah, Joel will be about 34 by then. Yeah, 2027 sounds about right. Good call bro.

Free Embiid! I would like to see him with Knicks for some reason, it would be cool.

[Sixteen]

Maxey should go back to the bench. I would start McDaniels or House instead.

[76ciology]

Best option is to go 2019-2021 Warriors. We have our 1st round in 2024 and 2025 (lotto protected).

Rest Embiid, spend time being a father with Arthur.

[FireMorey]

Doc Rivers is the low hanging fruit. He's an easy pile on target.

Want to know who's far more to blame than Rivers? Look at how the GM's additions performed tonight. Harden, Tucker, House... that was basically your offseason.

Maybe, but so far I'm not seeing those ideas, aside from "run it back" that we hear every **** year of course.

[HardenGoat]

Iam sorry. There’s no explanation with how Harden played

[cool93]

Typical soft Sixers team. They fooled me into believing that team is different this time once again.

[Murray_17]

How is this loss Docs fault lol

Are you kidding me? there was no adjustment from game 2 to game 3.

Hell there was no adjustment from the first half of this game to the second half.

Obviously, a lot of the loss is on Harden literally doing a Ben Simmons impression, but Doc also can adjust from that in some way, he's the **** coach for god sake

You need to rewatch it. Brown gave Harden a bath on the defensive end, he was shook to even take a shot. Don’t think Harden made a shot when Brown was on him, let alone the turnover creation caused.

[Bum Adebayo]

Yes the main explanation is that he is washed up.

[ProcessDoctor]

Honestly, send Embiid to Miami to play with Butler next year. It's the least he deserves after this team has failed him time and time again.

Cool, so you admit that your takes on primarily those of the "hot" nature. At least we agree on that. You overreact. Oh...And those that do add insight on how to improve and get better generally have good ideas. You're just not paying attention.

Harden passed on shots even after blowing out by his defender dude and the paint was packed because Boston was sagging of PJ

"he gave Harden a bath"

[Bum Adebayo]

Trade Embiid for Bam, let's go Heat!

[76ciology]

Rest Embiid for a year and a half. We got our picks in the next 2 years.

Even if we win the championship, no way we can win again with Harden playing like this, Maxey being a mid and Embiid’s durability.

[FireMorey]

Btw this Celtics team isn't anything special. The fact that the Sixers didn't lose by 20+ tonight with how they played shows how beatable they are. But when your second best player is a notorious choker and blew his wad in game 1 and has nothing left, that's going to be a problem regardless even with that reality.

Let's hear ideas about how to improve this roster without blowing it up.

Blowing it up doesn’t improve it either numb it’s

We don’t have picks so we can’t tank and trading Biid for picks like I assume you think we should do would make us a lot worse while owing picks

It’s not feasible until we own our own picks again

And even then does mystery player give you a better chance than still building around a mvp?
I don’t think so personally

We blew it up before because we actually made a big trade for Bynum and wasn’t no longer a playoff team and had no player to build around and picks to use

I don’t know what the **** we do… I’d let Harden walk or maybe see if that sign and trade rumor is real and wait until we get off Tobias contract for cap space for one last ride… by then we’d have picks and space if it doesn’t. Constantly looking for quick fixes or drastic measures is exactly why we are in this situation imo. The Celtics have made moves but their core players have been the same forever….it’s worth a look if nothing else

People are worried about Biids longevity but that doesn’t mean you have to make a decision asap either imo. If he falls off a cliff in a few years… oh well. Don’t think that trading him changes the calculus at the moment…. The end result will still be the same in that scenario imo so I can still hope for a flukey Dirk run over hoping this franchise can find another franchise player again

But then again trading Biid would allow me to not give a **** about this team again which would be great for my mental health lol
