White misses a layup and the Sixers answer with a 3.

It's not our regular season.



If its not our regular season it will not be our playoffs
I don't believe we have a switch. What you see is what you get

We are a second round out at best

True.

So we wait again for the next chance at a finals appearance.

Because Joe isn't an out-of-shape whiner about to get a supermax contract?

That's because we are not the Dallas Mavericks.

Sam Cassell should have gotten a Head Coaching job, several years ago.


If Mazzulla can’t make adjustments and stop preaching threes only then this team won’t turn it around

It's a troll. There's no other explanation why one single poster would have 75% of the pages every game day thread. :lol:

This year we dramatically changed our shot profile, from +5 two’s attempted to +7 threes attempted. I’ll never understand why we increased 3PTA by 14% while reducing 2PTA by 12% after winning a title. It doesn’t make sense to make such a major change to a working formula.

Lately, we been getting off to so many 4/17 (or whatever) starts from three and we are immediately down like 10 or 12 and the other team is in a groove and we’re searching for energy… and then before we find life, BOOM! we’re down 20!

Promote Sam Cassell I guarantee you there would be a fire lit on this team.
It's like overwhelming evidence required and still not enough to convince the faithful..

Cassell would turn this Team around. No Question.
By-the-way, he's got 4 rings. IJS

I like Yabu, I stated that all along, but he is not going to save us.

Joe wants the starters to work through this long term funk, but he needs to realize it’s gonna burn them out when it counts in the playoffs.

Because Joe isn't an out-of-shape whiner about to get a supermax contract?


Ummm, that out of shape whiner was First Team NBA, 5 years in a row and will likely be legendary for the Lakers.

This team's effort is pure trash. They're mostly not fun to watch this year.

We have a 13 person roster. If the stars don't want to play, then, don't play. Embarassing efforf .

I was just listing the reasons why Luka may have been traded away for.
