He may look bad, but he's pretty much been a league-average center for five years in the league. A player coming into his athletic prime doesn't generally just stop being who he is overnight. This year's stats he's had only NINE total minutes, and he has been indeed horrid. But that's not enough time for the stats to mean anything.

For every missed coverage or turnover, how many opponent's shots simply aren't taken because of his ridiculous wingspan (only 2 inches shorter than Wemby)? Apparently enough that along with his 3pt% reb% and blk%... he comes out as an okay player. Enough to make up for the boneheaded plays that stand out and are easy to see. Not everything he does shows up in the counting stats, but they do show up in the advanced stats - where he's not great but good enough.

Maybe he did turn into the worst player ever overnight - after all more surprising and worse things have happened to this franchise.
We had two #1 overall picks turn into non-shooters on us, and we've had two other players almost die in the past few years. But it's unlikely that Bamba suddenly really is a NET -37 player instead of the NET +5 player he's been for the past 5 years. He's probably the same player he's always been. The strongest evidence to the contrary isn't his horrible stats in 9 minutes... it's the Sixers jersey he wears and the accompanying curse.

Mohamed Bumba sucks bro, just accept it and let's move on, Nurse knows more about basketball than all of us, he would be playing him, he is the first that wants to rest Embiid more, if he doesn't it's because he knows how bad Bumba is.

NGL I expect Trae to bait Springer into foul after foul like he used to do to Thybulle. But the kid has gotta learn sometime!

Morris and House have no clue where to be man

Arsenal · Post #29 » by **Arsenal** » Sat Nov 18, 2023 1:04 am

Man it would be nice if Morris could show he's not completely washed. He used to be a good player.

Morris can't move . Does nick need a new prescription?

Is KJ Martin so bad that he can't get minutes?

Mik317 · Post #34 » by **Mik317** » Sat Nov 18, 2023 1:09 am

Early returns re: Springers defense on Trae... looks good!

NYSixersFan · Post #37 » by **NYSixersFan** » Sat Nov 18, 2023 1:12 am

We have one guy on the roster who can create off the dribble....or even dribble at all.

The spacing in that lineup was terrible. But what can you do. Springer needs to play, Pat is the backup PG and House over Furk right now.... So I don't know..

WTF is Maxey doing?

eyeatoma · Post #40 » by **eyeatoma** » Sat Nov 18, 2023 1:17 am

Maybe the superstar stuff about Maxey is a bit premature. He seems to have some inconsistent days for sure. That's not abnormal at his age, but he still defers way too much.
