Idk why I got downvoted for saying we should trade for drummond and Caruso.Rebounding is a huge need and Reed just isn’t moving the needle
2-2 without Embiid since Christmas, not bad, not great, could be worse
Please get a real back up center we need serious help there I’m not even mad we lost it’s the fact we keep getting out rebounded without embiid
Bad game and it being the second of a b2b across the country sucks, especially with Nurses crazy minutes
They were tired on to the next one
Also Drummond was the best backup Embiids ever had, its a damn shame he was traded away
Need these three off days badly. We’ve been absolutely fucking bombarded with games since the IST. Second time we’ve had 3 games in 4 nights in like 3 weeks.
Also the league can fuck right off making us play last night then travel and play a team that had an off day yesterday 24 hours later.
Turns out we need Embiid, I guess
Imagine thinking Maxey is a top 20 player. This team would win 25 games a year with him as the main guy.
How can you watch Derozan who even shoots less 3’s than Tobias, does nothing but operate near the elbow which is where Embiid plays and thinks he’s a good fit for this team.
we need a backup center lol bamba sucks and reed is outmatched. refuse to believe some people think we don’t need one lol
Laughable that a team that is on a back to back also have to travel from fucking Houston to Chicago while they face a team that had a day off yesterday. Just pathetic schedule making. Rest up, praying that Embiid is back and let’s go on another run
It was a SEGABABA it happens. Lot of frustration over offensive rebounds but both teams had 12 each. Just came down to shot making and we shot 39/23 as a team, not winning many games with those splits
Need to get embiid back and some trades u/darylmorey
Some of you seem to have forgotten the Brett brown days where we’d be top 3 in 3 pt percentages in the league and have night where no one could shoot and it sucked but it happens
Scheduled loss especially after last nights comeback win. I’ll take a 2-2 road trip without Embiid… hopefully he’s back next Tuesday
Very happy they pulled through last night because tonight was the biggest scheduled loss I’ve ever seen
Reed is still fine as our back up center only having to play 12 to 15 minutes a game, y’all gotta relax
Whenever your favorite NBA team plays like dogshit, you should ask yourself… was this game the 2nd night of a back to back with travel in between? If the answer is yes, just take the L and move on. NBA scheduling is dumb.
I just smashed my TV in front of my whole family. Sell the team. Trade everyone.
Very nasty. And it’s not very nice!
Batum 9 pts 2 ast.
Total time of possession about 3 seconds
Honestly, as well as Maxey has played this year, I think it might be best if we get another scoring/playmaking guard to pair with him. Maxeys catch and shoot 3 PT% is elite (>50%), but his combined pull-up/step-back 3 PT% is <35%. He’s also so great at attacking close outs and scrambling defenses. The Sixers should be creating shots for him, not asking him to create everything. He’s also averaging 6.5 assists with a pretty high usage rate. Our offense could use a little more playmaking and creativity. In a perfect world that guard is big and a plus defender like dejounte Murray but would be pricey
2-2 on this road trip without Embiid and a back to back is acceptable. Especially after the way it started.
All starters under 40 FG% is awful
Definition of a scheduled loss
Should bounce back against them again. Hopefully with Embiid this time.
We have 7 more B2B but only 1 in each of the last 3 months of the season. Yall are gonna hate January.
Random thought. Back to backs like this are the NBAs way of forced parity designed to produce more outcomes they want and make the NBA appear to have a high level of parity.
