Goga's in his head a bit. Got beat on some easy rebounds and they had an easy three because Goga was arguing a no-call.

This is our 3rd game in 4 nights, so they may have tired legs.

That narrative never left, it stays quiet during a win streak and pops up when the other team goes on runs lol.

I wonder how Philly fans are treating Nurse with Embiid/George led offense only having 45 points and their record right now. Wonder if it's as bipolar :lol:

I mean come on :lol:


I dunno man. He looked pretty good for 60 games last season before paired next to Gary Harris and now KCP.


Suggs last 25 games last year next to Gary…

Completely fine with Suggs as long as he keeps playing defense. He's already shown he can hit threes. He's just in a slump currently.

Suggs plays with wild passion. That will sometimes lead to very frustrating decisions. Going to have to live with it. It is nothing new.

We are still in a game, just badly need a 4th quarter magic from AB or somethging. Franz kind of cooks PG so far but he sure needs some help.

He's a hybrid version of Tony Allen/Marcus Smart player off the bench.

We can put the Gary Payton comparisons to bed

Suggs not scaling up very effectively to be a good No. 2 option is not really an indication of anything other than he’s not a No. 2 option which we all already knew.

When Paolo’s playing, Suggs naturally goes into a more simplified role offensively.

Making sweeping assumptions and proclamations about guys when they’re out of their normal roles is always a bit odd to me.

Is it fair to say his inability to scale negates his star potential?

We need to figure out how to hit open shots and solve the Embiid minutes. Tall task but possible lol
