>Nick Nurse says De’Anthony Melton took a knee to the thigh and is sore. Expected to be sore tomorrow, but they’ll evaluate from there.
>To be clear, Nurse says nothing else is wrong.
**Nurse on Maxey**
>I wasn’t very happy with the pace and speed we came out of the second half of. I was like, where’s Melt, Melt’s out… Pat get in there. We kind of came in like that. I just asked Tyreese, you got to get the ball of the floor, play faster. Be more decisive. They pressure you, go around them. Whatever. I thought he did pick up his pace. But again, when they set up that screen. If they’re going to try and not let Joel get that ball back on the pocket pass, then there isn’t much in front of him. He sets a good screen and then the defender is behind him so he’s got to go and make the next play. Pat bev saw that play, two or three times in a row….. So we couldn’t get it back. And end up making the floater dump it off to KJ. Read what is happening out there, and that’s what I thought Tyreese did a great job out there.
**Nurse on Kenyon Martin Jr.**
>We were positioned where needing what we thought was athletic, strong, physical guy take some minutes on Edwards. We finally found a good matchup for Towns, which was Marcus. And try to buy minutes for those guys to get a breather. He competes, he is physical, he’s a little dangerous around the rim at the other end too.
Ya darn tootin’!
The Midwest Morons are prettyyyyy upset right now and its hilarious.
Definitely pretty cool to see a 7 footer AVERAGING OVER 35 points lol
Joel Embiid is good at basketball.
I really can’t wait for the playoffs where embiid dominates on the first round against a lower team and gets his FTs and the other coach complains about the refs, just to see how nurse reacts cause we ALL remember the Toronto series lol
Holy shit, an actual coach
Morris has been playing great lately. I think he was +28 tonight. Just a reminder, guys who aren’t Embiid or Jokic get cold sometimes.
He ask Pop that question though?
