If Kyle Lowry sees another minute of game time, I'm out on Nick Nurse. The Sixers have outscored the Knicks 45-31 since he hit the pine. Called it.

Still cannot believe we are going into halftime with a lead. This series has been insane.

And another defender to put on Brunson to give Oubre and Batum a breather to focus on other things.

Nope, not a second. More like the entire 1st quarter.

He started really killing us last game. There's probably a role for him but a full ass starter is not it.

You start the 2nd half with Hield instead of Lowry.

I'm glad Nurse listened to me and took Embiid out with 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter. Do it again in the 3rd.

I guess your out on N.N he will play second half

If Buddy is hitting his shots, yeah you cannot double Embiid nor Maxey, which the theoric optimal outcome Morey envisioned on the trade, i guess.

Just keep the guy out there, even if fails his next 30 shots, i don't think his defender is leaving him for the rest of the game lol

Alright if Buddy continues to show out, some people owe Morey an apology.

Tyrese 1/7 2pts.

Settle down young lad we need you in this 2nd half

It seems like Payne and Hield are both better than Lowry.
It seems like Batum and Oubre are both better than Tobias.

Have we been starting the wrong players?

Jailblazers7 · Post #194 » by **Jailblazers7** » Fri May 3, 2024 2:17 am

Tobias needs to have more than 1 rebound in the second half lol

GoSixersBro · Post #195 » by **GoSixersBro** » Fri May 3, 2024 2:17 am

Let’s talk about Tobias having a 1 on 1 downhill vs Brunson and not scoring.

He was pressing for sure after that rough start. Good opportunity to settle down & for Nurse to make some adjustments to free him up.

Buddy out shooting by himself.

Tbf to him he gave 2 passes to Hield on the corner when the closeout came. He had the shot but recognized it was a better shot for Hield.

I still cannot wait for him to be gone.

Two things can be true at the same time lol

ProcessDoctor · Post #199 » by **ProcessDoctor** » Fri May 3, 2024 2:22 am

I'm not worried about Maxey. He's typically not the fastest starter, ironically.

No. Lowry after two games was our 3rd best player in +/- and pts per 36. Tobi’s limiting scorers to 10% lower than their average, shoots 40% on corner 3s aside from being one of our better rebounders. Both Lowry and Tobi are part of our best line-ups.

You have to run with your base unit then just adjust along the way which Nurse has been doing.
