Bob Williams is such a goof

Biid has been making a point to attack off catches

Which is what I’d be asking for decades

Tobias and Tucker give no assistance defensively to Embiid in the paint. It's frustrating.

I'm eternally grateful to have a coach who's like 'it works really well when we run pn'r and give Embiid the ball, so we are going to do that frequently but not exclusively.'

Is it me or did Embiid being defended by Robwill make him go harder? Taking that double big lineup expose personally I see.

That’s the most frustrating thing about us. We’ve had the nucleus of a contender for the longest time but always when it’s time to complete it we crap the bed.

Man it is great to see Jim Lynam back for the halftime knowledge drop. The man truly is a badass basketball savant wizard.

Joel Embiid has got Robert Williams punching air in the locker room right now.

Yeah I'm always happy to see him. He's the second Sixers coach I remember after Matty Guokas.

Although my feed showed Franklin doing a Michael Jackson in Thriller impression instead of the halftime show lol.

Love Joel’s intensity the past two games. Gotta give credit where it’s due.

Matt Goukas! That's a blast from the old past! Jeez...I thought someone would have brought up Doug Moe by now, but he got canned 56 games into the season. Canned like Tuna! I'm sure he was never the same again! But when Clarence Weatherspoon is your best player, it's going to be a bad time.

Portland has a good bench for a rebuilding team. Hopefully we will (aside from Oubre) once we acquire more depth.

Why is thybulle being guarded?

ExplosionsInDaSky · Post #74 » by **ExplosionsInDaSky** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 1:06 am

That was a beautiful pass by Jo! There's hope!

Kobblehead · Post #75 » by **Kobblehead** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 1:07 am

Camara should start at PF and slide Grant to SF. Get Thybulle the hell out of the starting lineup lol.

Mik317 · Post #76 » by **Mik317** » Mon Oct 30, 2023 1:07 am

The Maxey/Jo two man game is all I ever wanted. Maxey being an off ball movement shooter but also a threat to drive is the super JJ type Jo has needed for years.

Doug Moe era is a repressed memory lol

Scoot has to remind himself that he's only 6'3". He's going to get his dunks swatted all day if he keeps trying to challenge traffic at the rim.

It's TUCKERING TIME

Embiid's passing in this game is next level!
