If Jimmy bolts, get ready to hear about him being a locker room cancer, etc.
Dude deserves much better and it is unfair how bad his perception is.

Repeatedly dribbling on the perimeter until you turn it over is killing us. Tobias missed a three and Embiid watched from the three point line. No rebounder down there

Brett should bench guys to show that this is unacceptable but that will never happen

Not talked about angle: games we won, we were killing them on the boards. Not the case this last 1.5 games.

Wouldn't be surprised if Butler bounces after the lack of balls and heart Simmons/Embiid have shown.


Nah, Embiid just sick, that’s all. He should be healthy by game 7.

I thought they should’ve added Norman Pelle. We have 3 backup centers that get murdered defensively. At least have a body that’s supposedly a good defender.


Defence isnt the issue. They have built their system around Embiid and when he is off it's hard to score. They need offence.

These guys should be playing their hearts out defensively. I would continue to double Kawhi and just hope the raptors cool off

Ben reaches and looks incredulous every time. Just adjust to the whistle. Stop reaching. It’s not doing anything

It looks like Butler is the only that cares. Simmons looks scared.
