OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers are Almost done searching

[FLYguy3911]

Wish Zhaire was on the ball more.

 

[BigToe]

Zhaire is everywhere on defense so far.

You can really see where Thybulle defensively needs to adjust outside of Zone. He can’t afford to be sloppy/off-balance on close outs anymore.

*Edit* It’s also obvious Thybulle’s defensive instincts and foot speed are translating. Someone got in his head to force issues on offense. Great sign that he’s trying already.

How have they both looked offensively?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Yeah, there’s your PoA defender.

How have they both looked offensively?

Like they both need work, but have talent. Thybulle needs to be a LOT more careful with the ball. He looks weak, but that’s to be expected.

Zhaire is going to finish a million lobs.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Deflection count for Thybulle?

 

[Ruck Over]

The, "Violence at the rim," quotient is high. Thank you Sam Hinkie, you will never be forgotten.

 

[BigToe]

Why is Helwani there? Lol

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Deflection count for Thybulle?

I think 4. He looks better on the ball than I expected too.

I can’t wait for someone to say Koumadje played well because Blocks.

 

[FLYguy3911]

ZHAIRE.

Why is Helwani there? Lol

ESPN cutting costs. UFC in Vegas tomorrow.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Back to back. My boy.

From the “glass half-empty” perspective, I don’t see the answer to the Sixers lack of shooting in this game. You’re not going to be dunking on NBA players all night.

Koumadje is playing well because BLOCKS, but he does need to limit the fouling.

(Like that?)

 

[FLYguy3911]

Zhaire always had underrated playmaking ability.

Thybulle has an idea as well.

If the other team doesn't score does it matter?

It’s not coming in the next month either. They’re going to have to get improvement as the year goes on. I’ve just accepted that.

I do not like what I’ve seen from Shake today.

 

[BigToe]

Hopefully they give Shake a chance and don’t immediately give the back up role to Neto.

I guess we’ll see this season. I was really hoping to see Zhaire shooting a bunch of jumpers. We know he can play above the rim, he needs to develop his shot.

 

[BigToe]

I do not like what I’ve seen from Shake today.

He’s looked alright since I turned it on??

 

[JojoTheWhale]

He’s looked alright since I turned it on??

I’m concerned about his quickness and his awareness of its limitations. It looks barely passable at this level. Hopefully he turns it around. Only one game!

 

[FLYguy3911]

Just like the big team.

 

[Ruck Over]

Shake has under impressed. For as good as I hear he's been in the G-League, he's not really seperating himself from a lot of these hopeful/potential guys right now. His command looks solid among his teammates, but not comprehensive to guide them against another team.

MIL making a push, threatening to steal this game. Lame. Sixers need some shooters, put in the Harris brother.

 

[Ruck Over]

Random missive - Vince Carter had some weak moments early in the 2nd, but he's been a good color guy so far. Also, I enjoy when commentators start talking about non-game events, usually indicates a blow out, and the Sixers were winning, so that's a positive.

Does it take 3, or 4, hours to travel by car from Miami to Orlando?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I f***ing love Shayok.

 

[Jack Straw]

Shayok has been pretty impressive.

 

[BigToe]

I ****ing love Shayok.

Was he here last year?

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Was he here last year?

He's new.

2nd rounder this year.

 

[Jack Straw]

Was he here last year?

2nd round pick this year. 54th overall.
