No doubt. I'm also not sure about him after he faded. His playoffs were actually pretty bad. He made the one pass, had a good G5, and that's that. Had some nice floaters against Embiid but couldn't really contain him at all, and a floater from a 7 footer is not my idea of great.

But what center outside of Jokic is going to look good versus Embiid? We are blessed to have Mitch to kinda defend him. But overall I-hart was great for us....there's really no other way to spin in IMO.

BUT....we are talented enough where we can absorb even this loss and still not miss a beat to contend with the best. If we get Kessler we will have a 48 minute wall of rim protection to fortify our league best elite wing defenders. So either way Orange & Blue skies!!!

Marcell Scott needs to step aside so that Mitch can improve on something. His free throw shooting has gotten worse every single year. His fg percentage is worse. He runs up and down the court like he’s chasing bubbles. Leon needs to step in

I have a bad feeling we're going to be calling up Skapintsev from Westchester.

That's Mitchell's fault for entrusting his career into a guy who is leeching off of him and clearly doesn't have the capability or experience to train an NBA player to their full potential.

Not sure what Scott is to him but he's very loyal to him. Must be a family friend.

Well to his credit he's cut down on his fouls and he defended Embiid brilliantly during the playoffs. But yeah he needs to improve the offense.

He was great in the regular season but not great in the playoffs. And that might be less of a deal if he wasn't a guy with a bad Achilles. I thought he was someone we couldn't lose, and would have said so if he still performed (I don't shy from saying that was a bad loss, although I'm not always right) ... but he was a big reason we lost versus Indiana. He looked tired / hurt / lesser. So I'm not going to feel too big a miss anymore. However, when he's on and good, he's a really good center. He's just not looking healthy or long term like that.

Yeah he was tired hurt..but he wouldn't necessarily be in the same state next season....but we'll never know. If we somehow manage to get Kessler , "IHart cope" will be fully in my rear view mirror.

Mo is staying in Orlando.

Leon has gotta make a trade.
