Forgettable game all around, credit to Zion tho when he’s hot he’s hot.
Seriously bad officiating as usual
Tobias Harris is a basketball terrorist
That was certainly a game but a game alright if a game were to game game ya know what I’m saying?
Game was a nice little showcase for KJ Martin
Well, at least they made a run at it. Still shows how much Embiid matters to the team, though.
What was the call count? Feels like we got decimated by them bitches
If Doc Rivers was still the coach, Sixers would have won this game.
HE CANNOT KEEP PLAYING MAXEY 38 MINUTES A GAME! This game was ESPECIALLY egregious because they were down 20 from the first quarter. At this rate he will literally break Maxey’s body from overwork. You cannot play Maxey 38 minutes in a blowout. God fucking damn it man, every coach in the league has their own stupid idiosyncrasies.
Zion is nice
He’s fun to watch and ngl, the fit with Joel would be awkward but I’d love to have him on the team one day
Very shorthanded and hosed by the refs all night. No shame in this loss because of the tremendous fight shown by the team despite bad play early, numerous mistakes, and the huge early hole, to claw back in.
BUT. Gotta be real. Not everyone displayed the same level of fight imo. The guys who I thought played well enough: Maxey, Melton, Beverly, Covington, Reed.
Guys who shit the bed tonight: Tobias, Bamba.
Does Mo Bamba actually know how to go after a rebound that doesn’t fall in his lap? Lowest fucking awareness I’ve ever seen.
We need another ball handler because Nurse will flat out refuse to give Maxey less minutes at the moment without another ball handler on the roster
the rim protection/paint defense/rebounding went about as well you’d expect a Harris/Morris frontcourt to go lol..
Furk was a +6 in 2 minutes. Would’ve won the game handily if he played more.
Honestly kind of impressed they made a run in the 4th. Bamba should be banished to the nether, I’d rather see Morris then him, his rebounding is so bad for a center. Hopefully Embiid is better for Friday, it’s very obvious how much better he makes others around him.
I would be glad to be wrong about Tobias, but this is his sixth year on this team under very different roles and 3 different coaches. He has never been a sustained winning basketball player. He’s invisible when the team needs someone to step up.
He doesn’t hustle, he doesn’t rebound, he doesn’t lock in on defense. He can do all these things, and does it sometimes when he chooses to which makes it more frustrating, but it never lasts. This is why I never feel bad for him, if he played hard like minimum guys like Beverley did, he’d be loved even if he didn’t have the talent to live up to his contract. He chooses not to.
Advanced stats have him as our 5th best player this year, after Embiid, Maxey, Melton and Oubre.
I’m just going to feel better about this team if he’s not there by playoff time. I don’t know what trades are out there, but I’d much rather his salary be used on different players. Contenders simply do not have that much salary wasted on guys who influence the game as little as he does.
I’m usually a Tobias apologist…but 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 turnovers is absolutely atrocious.
My biggest gripe about this game is Maxeys inability to orchestrate the offense without Embiid’s gravity. Love him but it’s clear he’s not the playmaker he needs to be eventually
This team needs serious help
The only positive that came from this game is that they brought it back to 10… now the box-score Betty’s can’t give their shittiest takes after not watching the game.
Honestly I’m impressed we managed to only lose by 10 tbh. FTC
If they removed FT, we won
So, imo, we won this game.
Nurse put in Bamba tonight literally 5min into the game (and before Bball), which means that tonight was clearly a scheduled loss from the tip. Hope everyone feels better for Friday’s match-up FTC
Outside of Maxey, Pat Bev and RoCo really put out.
We should trade tobias while he have some value, he dont step up vs good teams
So the almost comeback, makes it feel weird to grade but here I am to try.
Coaching: D+
Hopefully Nick got the Marcus Morris thing out of his system, because this is insanity. He has like a gazillion other options(none of them particularly good, yes) but none of them as bad as Morris. You probably win the game, if you don’t make that decision.
Also, if he was gonna put Maxey, etc back in, it should’ve been within the 10 minute mark of the 4th, instead it was the 6 minute mark. Those four extra minutes could’ve been huge in the comeback.
All of that to say, Nick Nurse sucks with substitutions. At least, in this whole Oubre being out thing. If Oubre comes back, it might be the last we see of Marcus Morris. I sure hope so.
Players:
Morris: F
No one played good defense today, but no one played worse defense than Morris. And since you started at CENTER and the most important thing for a center is defense. F.
Harris:
F. 5 Turnovers, FIVE. And save for a bucket or two late, completely useless on the offensive end of the floor. Also didn’t give much defensively.
Melton:
D+. I’ve still yet to see a strong defensive game from you. This was your opportunity and between leaving shooters open and also turning over the rock. But you stayed in it, and gave us 17 so not the total flop the other 2 are.
Batum: INC.
Got wrecked by Zion, I don’t know who didn’t. Nurse chose to keep him out of most of the 2nd half. It just wasn’t his kind of game.
Maxey: C+
He could’ve thrown in the towel. But he kept competing and kept coming at you and his second half completely turned around. Shot 10/15 from 2, and was elite finishing at the rim and drawing contact. No calls, but I like the way he redeemed that game in the second half.
Patrick Beverly: B+
Continues to do great things out there. It was hard to see because the game was out of hand, but I thought he finally took a couple of outside shots, played with that energy. Wasn’t enough, but he was awesome out there tonight.
Paul Reed: A+
Easily the best player on the floor for the 76ers. Massive defensive presence and flashes some interesting passing upside(5 AST). The +1 on the +/- doesn’t do it justice. Had he started, the game is different.
I didn’t give Tobias praise for his hot start, so I’m going to keep it consistent and not shit all over his slump. HOWEVER, this is a pattern that goes beyond this year, one he’s shown season after season. A good stretch at some point but mediocrity over all.
Whoever we trade for, assuming they’re on a similar contract, I hope they get rid of Tobi and keep the depth. Morris has shown a faint pulse, Batum is shooting great, and RoCo brings good energy and space. It’s time. He really shouldn’t be on this team past this season.
38 minutes for Maxey is insane for a game that was pretty much never competitive
I don’t care if it’s an overreaction but if we re-sign Tobias in the off-season we’ll never win a championship. How many times is he gonna sell us before we say enough is enough?
It was an ugly game but it looks like Nurse is learning the lineups without Embiid. Which is better than our last coach, who just gave up at all times.
