Would help if his teammates could hit some shots.

Philly is just sending bodies his way anytime he gets the ball. He has no choice but to give it up.

Just give him the ball and let him initiate. There are multiple possessions in a row where he stands on the wing without touching the ball

Looking forward to brown flexing when he drops 30 on a bad team and then go back to chucking and turning it over against a playoff team.

I like what Jrue and Porzingis bring, not worried about white or Tatum. But the bench is horrific including Horford who looks done and brown hurts this team more than helping it feels like this season. Never felt like he was a high impact player anyways but this season just feels like things go to **** when brown tries doing too much. The bench with Pritchard is probably the worst in the league

Welp that’s a wrap.

I’m okay with these guys getting checked early though, long season to figure things out. Still glad to have Porz and Holiday.

Brown was historically disappointing.

Embarrassing last two games. JB has been horrible and Joe's rotations suck. I can't wait to see this dude get canned

Jaylen Brown, max extension player ladies and gentlemen. And who’s the guy here who constantly tries to compare Jayson Tatum with Larry Bird? Jayson is a beta. He has all the talent in the world but he just doesn’t have the killer “give me the damn ball and get outta the way” instinct. He’s soft. Sorry. Until he takes this team by the throat and COMPELS them to win a championship like Larry Bird did, don’t compare the two.

Also, hard to win when you miss open shots.

Maxey is for real. He and Embiid, crushed us.

We never should have given him a second year. It was stupid to make him the official head coach before the playoffs even started last year. I'm so over this.

At least Tatum killed it on the boards. JB killed us in general. 5 points?

JB gets lucky a foul call is made otherwise another turnover was coming with him putting his head down once again only looking to score and not pass

I will say that it's inexcusable that Porzingis missed two dunks. No concentration. And that floater that Holiday missed from the side of the rim, well, that's just lazy play.

Problem with JB is if he's not hitting shots he's useless. Not a great defender, passer, rebounder or a guy who makes those small winning plays.
