OT: Teh Philadelphia Severty Sixers: Or Maybe This Team Will Make Us Tap Instead?

[DancingPanther]

I'm officially over Brett Brown. It's like Hakstol out there, maddeningly predictable

 

[YEM]

Is this the bottom?

Nah. It's full circle. Perpetual 6 seed->Process->Perpetual 6 seed

Sixers are playing the Grizzlies tonight, but it’s a home game. They must be very conflicted as to whether they should care or not.

Should we care if they don't which has been pretty obvious. Embiid moping and straggling down the court cuz he has no commitment to conditioning...Simmons being Simmons...and Brown looking like a deer in headlights as the team seems to mutiny anytime they set sail on the road..

Embiid honestly looks like he is done. He literally was walking around most of the game. I am not one that usually says something along the lines of "the players dont care" but his body language last night was really horrible.

Sadly if this situation doesn't right itself we could be back to being a middling team....

Sucks that Simmons and Embiid are not complementary. One of them may have to go and if Embiid keeps not taking care of his body and getting injured...he may need to be the one to actually be traded. His window just keeps getting smaller. Simmons still has time and by virtue of physical talent and motor still has a chance. Dunno...this is tough. Or.....you get a new coach that kicks ass instead of all the tiresome platitudes. That was good for a rebuilding team....not one that needs to contend.

He is mentally and physically struggling....was trying to self motivate himself but was disengaged from the team ..sitting at the end of the bench, lumbering up and down the court, etc etc.

 

[Embiid]

ouch

Charles Barkley and Shaq once again rip Joel Embiid and the Sixers: ‘It’s your fault, period’

 

[Jack Straw]

 

[Embiid]

Game changer...plan the parade!

Houston somehow managed to get RoCo into the lineup last night. Just sayin’.

not excited to be coming here, perhaps.

 

[Embiid]

Even our new additions are laggards...

 

[Jack Straw]

And the hits just keep on coming

 

[Lotusflower]

And the hits just keep on coming

Scott, Neto, and Pelle all stay while Ennis, Burke, and OQuinn who are all better pieces get dealt?

 

[trostol]

Sounds like a bad locker room

 

[Schwarbomb]

I was originally mad at Korver for not signing here. Now me thinks he made a good decision.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The scariest part of this season to me is that Embiid + Simmons lineups have tanked to the point where they're a barely positive NetRtg.

 

[Embiid]

And Butler....

So you're telling me that these bozos might not play until a week after they make the trade? I've never seen that happen in any sport. A WEEK.

Of course it will take another 2 months for them to gel with the dysfunctional team....

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Wanna make one of those Simmons?

 

[BigToe]

Embiid looks like he needs a break.
