[Levick] “…Sixers have worked on PJ tucker at center units this week, continue to be optimistic about those”
From Doc Rivers today:
-Sixers have worked on PJ Tucker at center units this week, continue to be optimistic about those.
-Team likes switch-everything coverage w/Embiid that worked well late on Feb. 11, but of course won’t have Embiid chasing around guards for entire games.

It’s crazy because the team has more faith in 6’4 38 year old PJ tucker than Paul Reed. Please get rid of this clown ASAP.
Doc is a terrorist. Somebody please stop him 🙏
didn’t like this at all at first, but this might work well in the first round matchup with brooklyn’s wing heavy rotation. we need paul reed to stay warm for the second round for sure though.
OMFG against who!!! Cos it ain’t gonna work against the bucks or Celtics. They’re too big and too good at attacking the rim. And we’d be better served giving Paul all the playoff experience possible in the first round, cos fuck knows we’ll need him in the second.
If Tucker is 5, give us Embiid stretch 4
The key is to use Paul Reed WITH Embiid and WITH PJ, not only having them rotating around each other. Let B-Ball Paul do the dirty work stuff, the offensive rebounding, use his fouls over Joel or PJ.
Joel operating at the elbow could use the dunker’s spot threat (as long Paul actually dunks and doesn’t try a 360 under the rim layup) and PJ can use the extra swarm help to slow up drivers.
Damn if only we had 82 games to figure this out. Oh well.
Doc is a fucking loser. He had 82 games to figure out what works. Pathetic
Doc has been low key coaching his ass off for the last few months. This is a sneaky smart adjustment.
Get that fn idiot of a coach out of here already, have we had a worse coach at this point it ain’t even close between him and Collins.
glenn just can’t help himself. he’s going to fuck this up again and ownership still won’t let him be fired. he should have been fired after the hawks series. putting danny green on trae young threw away game 1.
fuck you glenn.
Not only does this make sense for BK since they don’t have much in the center department, but we’re definitely going to have small ball lineups throughout the playoffs.
Paul Reed will get plenty of minutes in the playoffs, but there are going to be certain situations where PJ makes a lot more sense.
I would love to see a Paul reed at center and Joel at PF combo, he would be like kevin mcHale with his shooting ability
why? put that man in the corner man
