Now that Celts has their focus on Biid, need to get the other guys do the damage. Its just Melton is doing his thing

Embiid not in game shape? Sometimes the excuses for this guy are way out of hand. So everyone else in the league is in game shape for game 1, except the league MVP. We're gonna give him a pass.

New coach? Milwaukee had a first time ever head coach.

Harden trade returns? We got a bunch of dudes who are at the end of their careers simply to match salary and are expiring. Martin averaged 5 points for the Clippers. Covington 3 points. Batum 2.7 points. Morris didn't play a game.
I agree on the game shape. He has no excuse this off-season although looks like it took one game.

I mean we all can dislike that he wasn't in gameshape but it doesn't take away from the fact that he wasn't. He has ramped up pretty quickly this season though.

Agreed, it was quicker than I expected.

Furkan crashing down toward earth faster than the meteor that killed all the dinosaurs.

The thing that scares me is Biid trying to play like Jokic may not work against the Celts. Their defense is perfect against Jojo. Al can defend him 1v1. Celts can swarm and deflect if he opts to play his Jokic role. Sure he can have 1-2 good games but not good enough to be the best player to beat them in a 7 game series.

Stop shooting threes, you idiots.

This not a furk game

If you're gonna go for the 2x1, it would be good to create good shoots

Get Furk out of there Nurse, this ain't the matchup for him.

0-9 from 3PT won't get it done. Need to hit some of them.

0-9 from 3, glad this ain't worse than it is.

Kobblehead · Post #53 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 12:43 am

Feels good to finally have depth.

We can give our all this game because we likely wont be the same team when we face them in the playoffs.

We also need to know what are the things we need to trade for. Another scorer? 3&D wing? Scorer PF?

This is a Bbball game

Batum's release man, i swear

PhillyFan11 · Post #57 » by **PhillyFan11** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 12:44 am

Daryl please go get another guard. Or Nurse needs to stop doing his best Doc impression and play Springer at least. Playing Melton/Korkmaz 40 mins isn’t the answer

Thanks Nico

Arsenal · Post #59 » by **Arsenal** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 12:45 am

Batum is the 3rd man!

ivysixer2000 · Post #60 » by **ivysixer2000** » Thu Nov 9, 2023 12:45 am

A run without Jojo on the bench, never seen that before, must be a new thing
