G23: Sixers v Pacers 12/13 7:00pm ET

[Black Mage]

McCain shot only two three pointers, one of which got in. He should be getting shots, and not Oubre!

I know the team said he cleared protocols but his shot was way off after the head injury. Don't think he was seeing things clearly or fluidly.

Paul George is playing cautious, focused more on avoiding injury than making an impact—just clocking in and out.

You want people to watch this?

You call it suffering, I call it being a masochist.

If they pulled the plug tomorrow, I'd start tuning in. But to watch what clearly looks to be a going through the motions "run" for a first round playoff exit and no draft pick? No thanks.

We might need to call Luigi



For one last job before Morey trades two FRP at the deadline for DFS because he wrote his magic plan in a stone tablet after letting Harden walk and feels obligated to stick to it.

Or just fire him before he puts this franchise in a hole so deep it takes a decade to dig free from.

Yep, I fully anticipate some fake optimism and a trade deadline deal that kills the future and ties us into perpetual 6-8 seeds and first round exits. 'The Iggy Years' part 2, but this time with Silver keeping a sharp eye to prevent another Hinkie being hired.

Bleh, the issue on that game was defense.

Haliburton did like one thousand times the same play, a simple cross court pass from left to right and there was an open guy, and when the wings were covered the paint was wide open.

Impossible to win if your defense is abysmal and you don't take too many 3s to offset your bad defense.

It doesn't help that outside of McCain and Maxey everyone else seems afraid to take an open shoot and they're getting less USG too

Idk what happened in the locker room that made Maxey and McCain shoot less. It is PG?

it seems like in a case like this, first domino is the coach or gm.

Real talk I think the mentality of coming into a season with the mindset of preservation is just bad juju. I think it was bad for Anthony Davis until he changed it and Joel used to have the mindset of play through it, but that clearly changed in this off-season. I'm sure with organizational influence.

I don't mind the organization just making decisions to hold him out at random times. But it shouldn't have been a player and organizational plan. That's only worked 1 year in Toronto during a contract season

I very much doubt that the Sixers wanted him to play in the Olympics
