OT: Teh Philadelphia Severty Sixers: Let’s Do This For JS’s Goodest and Bestest Boy

[Lotusflower]

If Shake starts at SG, why not JRich at SF? Might even suit him better than SG. I don't see Brown moving him to the bench.

JR has been awful this season. He's been a bigger problem than Tobi/Al.
Im willing to chalk it up to injuries and playing in a complex offensive system but he's gotta get healthy and earn those mins.

I'd run Simmons/Shake/Kork/Tobi/Jo if everyone is healthy at first.
Your 2 stars plus your 3 most capable shooters to space. Prioritize offense first.
ideally JR or Matisse can get their percentages respectable enough to send Kork back to the bench eventually.

So Brett Brown hopes that Joel will be back Wednesday against the Pistons. He'll be looked at again on Monday.

Starting Korkz makes me nervous. Even though he's improved defensively, good teams will still hunt him.

Starters: Embiid - Harris - Simmons - JR - Milton
Bench: Horford - Korkmaz - Thybelle - Scott
Pray: Burks, Robinson, Neto, O'Quinn

Milton is the real thing, that makes up for rhe bad luck with Zhaire, Milton should have been a lottery pick.
He's still raw, but between his length, his smooth moves and his 3 point shot, the sky is the limit.
Thybelle looks like he hit the rookie wall, just looks a step slow and has lost all confidence in his 3 point shot, he'll rebound, but right now is a deep bench guy.
Korkmaz is the Turkish Korver and should be used as such.
Scott is rounding into form, and can center a small lineup, similar to Ben

Burks and Robinson are break glass guys, Neto tries hard and has smarts but just isn't a NBA athlete.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Welp.

 

[DancingPanther]

Welp.

Lolllll

There's goes home court advantage

Well this would sink the Sixers home dominance playing in front of crickets

bump...

JR has been bad this year. On both ends.
Kork scores at the same rate w less usage and takes/makes a significantly higher amount of 3s which is more important to this team right now.
When you consider JR has been getting slaughtered by the Archidiacono's of the world off the bounce this yr ill take increase in floor spacing and a better chance at finding scoring value behind the line over a TO prone, offensively muddled and defensively lost guy at this point.
I dont expect Kork to defend competently.
I want to emphasize offense in these lineups down the stretch.
I hope JR can health/game at some point down the line.

My work is taking the virus very seriously. Not a good sign. I worry about the stockmarket when more tests have been out, finding more of it.

 

[Jack Straw]

LeBron says he won’t play if there are no fans. I would be surprised if it did come to that but my guess is that he would play if meant a chance at another title.

He's just speaking up for his Chinese handlers.

I watched that interview live. Of course he'd play, but good on him for voicing that opinion that I'm sure every other player has. I'd think it was bs if I was a player too

Buy Netflix, Amazon and Clorox stock....actually too late but there is always profit in misfortune...but yeah my 401K is not lookin too hot....

The networks (TNT, ESPN) would probably clean up if it happened. Apart from the people who couldn’t go to the games watching on TV, they’d probably get people tuning in just to watch a game in an empty arena. The echo would be great.

Sixers catch a break, Curry out with the flu. Just the plain old everyday seasonal flu.

Curronavirus? Stephidemic? I'll see myself out..

 

[Embiid]

Sad....

 

[Karma]

This team is so pathetic

 

[Halladay]

Team doesnt do road games. A few bad threes down the stretch. Good thing is they only have 7 more road games after tonight.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m just happy Damion Lee balled out.

Go Dragons.

 

[Lotusflower]

thats what i get for posting pro-Kork charts.
I just want this hellish season to end.

 

[trostol]

a first round bounce is needed to wake up the front office

 

[Embiid]

Relying on Harris and Horford to lead this team to wins in the absence of Simmons and Embiid is a fool's errand.

more bb defending from the media:

 

[Lotusflower]

Giannis deserves the mvp but what LeBron is doing is alien stuff.
2nd best player in the league and still the most complete @ 35.
If Vince Carter's overrated corpse can get into rotations at 42 then how long could LeBron last i wonder?
