[Repeat 3-peat]

No game till Friday? alright then.

Rewatched the 2nd quarter, and on offense, I'd say it's not really anything the Sixers did differently but rather the Bulls just played dumb and careless basketball.

- They went cold from 3 but kept shooting it even when out of rhythm. Meanwhile, the Sixers started attacking inside to cut into the lead, targeting Vooch and Coby specifically
- Lots of unforced turnovers, like errant passes, players randomly stepping out of bounds, Zach getting tripped and losing the ball when he tried dribbling into a crowded paint, Zach rushing a bounce pass before Vooch can seal his man right under the basket
- Giving up offensive rebounds and snowballing the issue by fouling for and-1. They stopped gang-rebounding and either started running the other way or got outhustled

Things got a little better when they started cutting, passing, and attacking inside, but at that point, they were already in a deficit and Embiid already got going.

Didn't catch the games over the weekend. Figured we'd split with San Antonio and Indiana. Thought we'd beat Philly, not sure what happened in that 2nd quarter but looks like it wasn't pretty.

You can't trade Zach and Vuc for anything of value if they play poorly. If they play well you're going to be winning games.

December 15th is right around the corner. We'll see if that gets the trade market active since it's when players signed this summer are mostly able to begin being traded.

the Buzelis and Smith combo is +10 in 130 minutes together. Starting front-court of the future?

Will not be a play-in team, Philly and Detroit will go past us and I wouldn't be surprised if Charlotte did and even Toronto.

That’s the goal once we makes some trades.

This is even without trades.
