He has to learn how to let some plays go . Teammates are loosing their man and he's trying to make up for everyone . It's going to keep him off the floor.

Reed as the only option as back up center ain't it.

3 fouls in 3 minutes is something. Oy. Fortunately, two of them were non-shooting and non-offensive fouls.

I'd strongly consider it even if it put us in cap hell for the next few seasons. I'm sure they would take Tobias's expiring in a heartbeat.

No thanks from POR.

Why? Grant is just going to be wasting the rest of his prime on a rebuilding Portland team. With Harris, you at least have cap space and therefore flexibility after this season.

Did Paul Reed just take two 3's? WTF

Does this JRoy guy have alerts for players from the blazers team or something. Just because we post about blazers player doesn't mean we want your stinking a** input .

Reed shouldn't be playing center.

Mo Bamba should get a chance to show what he can do here. As much as people talk down his game, his stats show a perfectly average NBA center, and one with 3pt range. His length is just about the most absurd thing in the NBA outside of Wembanyama. That might be why his stats are okay even if he looks bad on the court sometimes. Length can intimidate the opponents into not even trying some 'good' shots, resulting in a better outcome without even doing anything - and even if he looks bad while doing nothing. In addition to being a perfectly average NBA center statistically, at 25 the next 3 or 4 years should be his athletic prime.

We've been longing for 'average' from a backup center for a long time. We had it for a brief time with Drummond. Other than that it's been pretty bad.

Grant knew what he was getting into when he signed.

Quality FA do not sign in POR so cap space is close to useless. Better to keep a guy that at least wants to be here.

No incentive to move Tobias 2.0 for Tobias 1.0

I think Springer is going for at least one block a game against the other team’s star to impose dominance.

Back to your echo chamber then.

Out.

Turrible 2nd quarter so far.

FlyingArrow · Post #52 » by **FlyingArrow** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:35 am

I like that Paul Reed is getting minutes, but not as a center.

phillynative · Post #53 » by **phillynative** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 12:35 am

Not surprised their athleticism and length is bothering the sixers.

Nurse tried to inject Springer and House I suppose for that reason but they didn't play well for that short stint.

Fatigue of the SEGABABA may be having an effect.

An echo chamber is no different than your deliberate bias everytime someone mentions a player from your team.

Kick rocks

This game sucks. Just slow-paced and constant whistle stoppages.

This is what I like to see from Biid fighting for rebounds and finishing inside.

Shaq-esque dunk on RW

Harden on the bench looking stupid
