Smoking that Philly pack, fr
Hope Masai doesn’t do it
So Nick Nurse gets to choose between Kevin Durant/Devin Booker, or Joel Embiid?
We have a current shortage of Docs and Nurses in this industry.
Holy cow we have a wealth of coaches to choose from. Masai timed this perfectly.
Philly is excited. We smoking that doc pack
It’s just coaches musical chairs at this point
so now we’re competing with Bucks, Suns, Sixers, and Pistons for a new coach. lovely
If they hire Nurse, that quote from Embiid about how “Nick Nurse doesn’t care about winning games, only stopping the other team’s star from scoring” will get some airtime.
Don’t any of you dare suggest we hire him
Not today
I will not have that evil put upon us
Took longer than I thought tbh
Masai pls no
Ain’t Docs fault Embiitch is a choke artist
RIP BOZO
…. I really wish that they had the gif available 😂
The dominos just keep falling
The coaching apocalypse 😂😂
There it is. The stars have aligned and Nick Nurse can be Joel’s excuse for a second time!!!
LOL every coach getting fired this off season
Should of never been hired for that team in the first place
Would you guys be bitter if NN went to Philly?
See coaches like Rivers, Bud and Monty wouldn’t be bad for us right now honestly. They have a reputation of overachieving with weaker rosters and are terrible at in game adjustments which kills them in the playoffs.
Our ball was so terrible to watch last season that any of those 3 guys would probably manage to help us by putting some sort of offensive system in place and trying to set a culture. We aren’t winning shit with any of them, but it’ll be nice to at least do well in the regular season and have fun basketball to watch for a change.
Damn, this is bad news. I wanted Philly to keep him.
Lmao 🤣 🤣🤣
Don’t think I’ve ever seen this many coaches get fired in a 2 year span.
With all these head coaches available and the ones we’re considering, we will end up hiring Patrick Mutombo 😭😭
Nick to Philly, Doc to Toronto.
It’s always satisfying seeing the Sixers struggle.
NN. Giannis>Booker+Durant>Embiid+Harden. NN waiting on Boston.
Only one man can take this job and succeed. You really need to get into Embiid’s head to succeed.
So hire Marc Gasol.
Masai should’ve held onto Nurse and let him interview for these other coaching spots; I feel like a 2nd round pick could’ve been had with all these prime openings
Doc is a great coach of an already good team, but when he’s in charge of building a team he takes 0 accountability for decisions he made that caused the team to fall short. He would tank this team’s future for atleast the next decade.
The most obvious move ever
“THE DOC IS GONE. WE NEED A NURSE IN HERE, STAT”
nick nurse: hello joel
lol
Please god no
I’d pick JJ Reddick over Doc. Unpopular opinion.
start printing his contract!
To no ones surprise.
