Dude gets hurt or whatever, gets a delay of game tech, comes out and has an outburst, HITS A WATER BOY when he throws a water bottl, and then doesn’t apologize or help clean up the mess he made.

I don’t know. That gave me a real bad impression of the guy. Just being a huge bitch.


We need some nasty on this team :evil:

His game is fun to watch offensively, but your ceiling is severely capped when he is such a defensive liability.

It'd be easier to tolerate if we had more plus defenders in the SL besides Scottie, but yeah it's hard to watch. He's like DeMar level bad on defense.


He's actually been decent on defense this year. Was horrendous tonight though.

Most likely tired, you can see his shots were front rimming. I still like BI, you need someone in the playoffs.

He’s drastically improved our half court offense. We need him.

It’s extremely difficult to acquire a player of his calibre.

How is everyone turning on BI after 1 bad game, yall are weird. He was clearly frustrated with the officiating, PHI was getting away with murder and they were calling tickey tack **** against us all game. That game was not meant for us to win. That being said we still had a chance. You hardly see BI complain to the refs and he doesn't flop, he keeps his mouth shut but has the occasional outburst...this was that lol

Yeah that was a really bad look i didnt really see it in real time cause I was on my phone, but he shouldve apologized right after. I dont really remember him doing anything that crazy before. Well he punched Chris paul that one time but Paul is a bit of a **** lmao

Hopefully he apologizes and its just a weird one time thing.

To those who thought Embiid just gets his points, you were wrong again.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

It was kind of Darko's fault for pulling him so fast, and getting a delay of game. I don't blame BI for getting heated. He was trying to walk it off, and stay in game.

BI probably not in top shape yet. His defense actually hasn’t been as horrendous as I initially thought it would be coming here, but yeah there is good reason to play him more at the 4 to hide him.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

ingram hasnt played much basketball in a while, let alone back to backs, he was a step behind tonight...he plays decent enough defense considering what he gives you on offense...i gotta improve my defense elsewhere, hes fine enough guarding your opponents worst offensive player

Probably because, if they didn't play Yak against the Hawks and the Raptors lost, the same people would probably criticize the team for not playing Yak during the game.

Feel bad for that guy who got hit by the water bottle. Man is just doing his job providing for his family. Shouldn't get injured by tantrum throwing millionaires who throw a round sphere into a hole for a living. Not apologizing instantly is also super **** weird. I'd understand it if Ingram was some young awkward kid, but dude's almost 30.

I sent my friends the BI video and we all laughed. People in the game thread were laughing. I don’t think there’s any reason to get pissed off over what he did.

Right. At least he shows he is caring about winning.

They now need to feed against some of the upcoming 'weaker' teams, while YAK, and others, get into better health / game conditioning ...

Coach also needs to allocate minutes to deserving subs, more based on merit, and less based on draft position or perceived 'seniority... imo. It's costing us.

Ths is not a development year ... we need to compete every night for wins...

So Ingram ruined his rep in the league ? on reddit they're showing he threw 2 water bottles and got the staff wet.

I don't think Ingram is the problem.

He provides more overall than - defenders we have on our team and the lack of size was too much as usual it's gonna put a heavy load on our PFs as season progresses so it's up to the FO to figure that out. Guys like Dick, Quickley, and Sandro having to defend the paint with small sgs out there isn't gonna help.
