OT: Teh Philadelphia Seventy Sixers are Almost done searching

[FLYguy3911]

Are we really going with Furkan and no true backup PG in the opening rotation?

 

[Lotusflower]

Gotta make better decisions out of the post. Jo still panics at times when the double comes.

 

[Jack Straw]

I can accept this as truth but yet and still....No Hubie slander will be tolerated.

Not even a little?

 

[Lotusflower]

Kinda counterintuitive but despite our size on the frontcourt ALL Sixer lineups are gonna have to emphasize aggressiveness in transition.

 

[JXC]

Fadool's red jumpsuit ...lmao.....

Some of these broadcasters just need to sit behind the desk. Colby was wearing floods during one of the Flyers broadcasts...

Jumpsuits should be Taryn Only

That sounds like a nice way of saying that they're not going to shoot very well.

 

[JXC]

Looking forward to another season of basketball frustration

The Sixers may turn out to be historically bad from beyond the arc.

 

[Embiid]

I expected this...…..barn burner it is NOT

I’m really not going to go too crazy about rotations in Game 1, but this is a LOT of James Ennis too. Jeez.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Thybulle got another one.

Yea but at the same time you have to generate volume as well.
Run outs generate more possessions which means more shots which means more chances at getting points.
Bucks did this last year to the tune of 60 wins.

why does every coach in phila got to have hak and gabe traits not actual coaches that know how to coach?

@Lotusflower I’ve been ball-watching too much, but it feels like there hasn’t been much off the ball going toward the basket, especially relative to previous Brown offenses.

Is Boston just sagging off and taking those hard cuts away for the most part or does it feel like they’re calling less to you?

 

[Lotusflower]

Jo was the 3rd best big on the court that half. Unacceptable. He has to be better.

The Torches and Pitchfork Index is already up there for Tobi.
He was terrible in preseason and looks bad early too.
He's not a guy that I want looking to drive and finish at the rim. Thats not his game.
Catch and shoot J's and midrange stuff off screens is what I want from him.

 

[Embiid]

Brown needs to figure out how to get these guys in sync offensively asap.....and yeah Tobi needs to step it up now that his excuse with Butler is not part of the equation. We look good on paper but lots of gelling to do...

Jo is a stepslow in his decision making all over court. He is the fulcrum of the offense and rightfully so.
I like what Boston has done bringing the double early and keeping Kemba far away from the hoop so his man cant rotate with impunity to help Jo.

Sixers have had some nice cuts in this game already (Mike Scott had 1, Simmons had another) but a lot of this is on Jo.
He has to take a breath, set his feet and just make good decisions.
He plays post offense like its 2k when he's overhtinking things.

I’m watching NBCSP. Are there absolutely no replays of these Fouls on the ESPN broadcast too? This is driving me nuts.

I'm watching the ESPN feed. They showed the one pick foul on Big Al

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

That was a foul?

 

[Cody Webster]

They challenged and they still upheld it. ROFL.

 

[Cody Webster]

Embiid bleeding

 

[BigToe]

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Hubie is a neanderthal.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I've seen fouls half as violent as that get flagrants. That's ridiculous.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

That wasn't a charge either.

All refs suck.
