2023-2024 Regular Season Game 30: Philadelphia 76ers (20-9) at Orlando Magic (18-11) - 7pm

[thelead]

Playing too many players.. starting the wrong player.

We’re down 3 rotation players and Mose still finds a way to play 10 guys

Okeke should not be playing at all.

[SOUL]

Goga seems like he tweaked his ankle, he usually finishes halves with this rotation.

[RookieStar]

We really miss Papa Joe when they pack the paint

[eyriq]

Man Wendell looks so bad, he looks scared on offense

He looks terrible

[Knightro]

3-16 from 3PT in a half by an NBA team in 2023-2024 is just comical and sad.

We shouldn’t be takin that many 3s in a half.

This isn't the answer. The answer is making like 6 of them and being in the lead instead of 3 of them and trailing.

Yeah, but who plays the backup PF spot outside of Houstan? Or are we just saying F it and playing Franz and Paulo 40?

Moe

[basketballRob]

I'd rather see Goga and Moe play together.

Moe gives us 0 rim protection when he's in the game.

This particular team, if they are not falling they tend to take more which makes it worse so no they shouldn’t be taking that many.

[3ddman23]

This is gonna be a frustrating L if we can't pull it out. So winnable

Mo=Backup PF, Goga=Backup C (should be starting but that’s a different conversation)

That is not any different than the JI/Mo backup lineup that Mose plays often.

[IllMagic04]

Philly figured out going to zone on us is very effective. Im pretty sure they gonna pack the paint in the 2nd half. Somebody gonna have to get hot from the outside or this is gonna be an L

And who should make them? WCJ? if you dont have good 3pt shooters, shooting 3s is not the smart option. Our roster construction is it is what it is, till it changes, shoot less threes.

Sorry, I meant if Goga did tweak his ankle. He did limp off and Mose only played him 2 minutes.. that makes things tricky because you literally have no size if Goga, Isaac, Ingles and Harris are out.

[basketballRob]

Goga looked fine on the bench.

We already shoot the least amount of threes in the league. Sorry, but the math isn't on the side of "shoot substantially less threes than every other team". Our NBA shooters need to make NBA shots.

Like, it theoretically makes sense versus teams with zero paint presence at all and we're shooting a crazy high rate.. but everybody is struggling inside tonight outside of Suggs. If you compound that by taking less threes, the other team will pack the paint completely.

edit: I'd agree with the statement more if it was just like "Stop making threes your first option" - sure.

Things get tough if Goga is actually injured. I HATE Mo at the 5 though without a defensive minded big next to him. Obviously tough for the 2nd half if Goga is out.

[thelead]

WCJ cannot protect the rim. That’s a problem.

[basketballRob]

They are just taking it right through Wendell
