Buckle up, we’re going for a nice ride.

Stupid play off a timeout. Iso ball. Not even a screen was made. JB should have gotten the ball

Pritchard and Hauser need to go back to the bench. Simons and Minott or Boucher into the 4 spot.

The game looked like a soft tank to me. I didn't think Mazulla was capable of it.

You have to go to white or JB, such bad coaching.

Cs 25.6% from 3 and Sixers 40% from 3 is the difference.

And to think the Cs had 2 chances to win the game in the end.

When you can have your smallest least athletic player drive the paint surrounded by bigs you have to do it.

He can take the last shot, he just forced that first one. That was terrible. He should have passed out, especially to Hauser in the corner.

PP got the inbound and he didn't want to pass it to JB or White.

Just because you want to inbound to JB or White, that doesn't mean you force the pass if they're not open.

I don't understand how this is Joe's fault?

That’s why the ball has to find JB or DWhite

Down 1, you go for two there, no deep kickouts for three.

You can't have tunnel vision when inbounding the ball.

If the first 2 options are not open then pass it to whoever is open or you'll end up with a 5-second violation.

This is on PP for not giving the ball to JB or White when there was 14 seconds left on the clock.
