I honestly feel that rooting for them to lose will feel better than rooting for them to win because if they win at least I don’t have to mope but if they lose, I’ll have already expected it lol actually, I’m not joking
This is why I love you Romp…I thought I was the only one who noticed…the team looks completely lost there like they are playing ref ball…even if Embiid and PG return I don’t see this team making it far cause the coaching is horrible…Nurse will solely be relying off iso scoring from Embiid and PG & that can only last but so long as a winning formula…you need an X & O to create opportunities for players
My biggest gripe with Nurse on the Raptors was his short term thinking. He'd overplay our starters and commit to ineffective defensive strategies only to lose close games. He'd do this game after game after game…eventually the guys he played were running on fumes and missing shots they normally make down the stretch playing on dead legs while our young players who might be able to help would rot on the bench and never grow. It'll be interesting to see how Maxey holds up with the big minutes until George and Embiid are back…then it'll be interesting to see if Nurse can show restraint when he's faced with trying to manage their minutes when they do play.
Nurse is one of the best coaches in the league.. anyone who says a team is the worst coached team in the league after 2 games without their 2 best players.. is clueless
Just to play devil's advocate but isn't Nurse known for experimenting with a log of weird lineups? It's 2 games in can we give him the benefit out the doubt that with a handful of new players he's seeing who fits in where? etc
Raptors fan here…..Dude, just take a pill and relax, will ya? It's the 2nd game of the season, lol. And you're also missing 2 of your Big 3, which is huge, figuratively and metaphorically speaking…..I like the passion but you're f@cking crazy man, lol…..
Romp you told us for ages that Maxeys the new Damian Lillard. When are you finally gonna admit he needs to be playing off the ball. His most efficient season by far was next to Harden for a reason.
Romp, our defense is bad because we have no good perimeter defenders on the team other than Ricky Council. Its a clear flaw with the team constructed this season so why are you surprised? Also Drummond is a very poor defender too.
Romp we averaged the least assists per game last season too in the games Embiid missed. The main reason is because of us playing Maxey at point guard, who is a poor playmaker. Our ball movement has been way better with Maxey on the bench. We need to get an actual PG in so Maxey can go back to playing his proper position because hes been diabolical at PG without Embiid over the past 2 seasons.
4:56 No, Maxey's struggles are because he's not good enough to be a first option on a playoff team. Maxey was this inefficient as the first option last season, too. He shot the ball better in pre-season because Paul George was the first option, meaning teams don't focus on Maxey as much. When Joel & PG get back Maxey will be the third option so hes going to have more offball looks and will be at his best efficiency wise.
Nick Nurse stuck to Tobias Harris all season and in the Knicks series making him just as bad of a coach as Doc Rivers is. Hes a bottom 10 coach in the league. But in fairness to Nick, Embiid is the only decent playmaker on this team so we don't have the personell to not average the least amount of assists per game lol
F the Sixers and the whole Organization..This is coming from someone that been a fan since I was a little kid watching them win a championship on back in 83.. Yes I'm a older fan.. This Organization ain't winning 💩with this management group of Morey Nurse and Elton Brand.. and not 1 but 2 injury prone so called star players in Embiid and PG.. Their 2 top-heavy been like that for yrs.. too dependent on older washed up players.. This league is getting younger and more athletic by the minute.. Morey loves to be undersized for some reason.. All the talent I see on other teams and this Organization seem to cannot find any type of younger players that can straight ballout with some type of size.. Draft a 6'8 raw center in Bona and a 6'2 guard in McCain and wonder why they can't rebound the ball.. I'm tired of this dumbass Organization they still clearly don't know how to build a championship team and it's been like this Since the Barkley and A.I. days .. now with Embiid.. this Organization is a f joke.. smfh.. Blow this 💩up and start over fire everyone start the f over..
Can't believe that James Harden is playing better than tyrese maxey right now with all the hype from the Knicks Series expected much much more from maxey
Lonzo Ball is the missing piece, he'll unlock Maxey, Embiid, PG's game to another level with his creativity. His ability to space the floor and defend is a bonus. Hopefully 76ers can grab him next season for cheap factoring in his injury history when he becomes a free agent. The other missing piece is an Isaiah Stewart, big bodied PF workhorse who will do all the dirty work (rim protect, rebound), space the floor and he can also play backup centre. He is Giannis' kryptonite on defence. Stewart can take a huge workload off Embiid.
Ahhhhh….finally….Romp, you really need to get Eastwood and RB on this channel, so they can be educated–and so DJ can quit accusing me of having a miserable life😂
This team sucks. With or without Embiid and George, it will still suck when it matters. No real PG, no real defense, all these old dudes replaced by "athletic" players, but they dont seem to know how to ball when they get to Philly.
Coincidence? No. Daryl Morey is an overrated GM, Nurse is still riding off of the Kawhi legacy, and the most GLARING omission from Philly people is that this team is cupcake soft. No one wants to play HARD. This team is and will be a joke until they completely overhaul the roster, starting with Embiid. Real athletes want to compete, this bitch wants to compete when it suits his narrative. Hes a Ben Simmons that likes to shoot, imagine that. Maxey is not a 1, probably isnt a 2 on a title contending team. Hes too small, not athletic enough, and his defense is lacking. Nice dude, like his attitude, but maybe he needs to be put into the Vinnie Johnson role, and spark this team off the bench when they decide to build a real team, with a winning culture, with people who are passionate about WINNING…not getting their fucking "bag"
Rant over, thanks for the first real take on this shitty team.
Bro everything u pointed out are player issues. not coaching. everybody knows Nick Nurse is a great coach known for his defense. No box outs and not going back on defense and questionable shots are not coaches' problems
The 6ers don’t really know how to build a team. Way too many undersized and old bench or should be retired players getting significant minutes. What a joke. Get a legit 6’10 / 6’11 POWER FORWARD! Get a legit POINT GUARD if you’re going to keep Maxey make sure he’s 6’5 and above.
Yeah, bro, I've been watching this team for almost 3 decades now, and this is the most annoyed I've been over the last few seasons. It's all low IQ shit.

Ok ok When are we going to CALL OUT Nick Nurse??? Doc had a better RECORD y'all
Agree Nick Nurse is Bad Why do we give him a pass
I honestly feel that rooting for them to lose will feel better than rooting for them to win because if they win at least I don’t have to mope but if they lose, I’ll have already expected it lol actually, I’m not joking

Can we put some respect on how suffocating the raptors defense is tho?
I already said in Eastwood channel , our Sixers rotation offense & defense are both awful
Don’t dream when Embiid & PG come back can solve all these things , it needs everyone and coach to work very harder to fix it
It’s about not only athletic but also basketball IQ
Don’t let Oubre be a playmaker , horrible , he only is a finisher ,
And you forget how to rebound ?
And last
Nick Nurse is OVERRATED

sixers dont have a reliable offense or defense without embiid.
Good video. I dont why Nurse has no game plan beside 1 vs 5 with Maxey. Maybe Nurse is unmotivated/powerless and need a break from basketball
Wheres Joel Embiitch?!!!!!
I know..I started watching the first half of the Raptors, like what am I watching? No nothing to this team right now.
Two games sheesh very stupid take
Thank You Nick Nurse is a horrible Coach.
A bunch of role players including Maxey. This team is in trouble without a superstar in the lineup.
You are a 100 right it’s early but I’m disappointed in Nick Nurse the product he has put out the the first two games look totally unprepared.
You can’t sink that much of your cap into 2 players and expect them to be competitive when both of those players are not playing. Relax. Its 2 games.
We're not even gonna remember this game come playoff time. Lol
Romp you told us for ages that Maxeys the new Damian Lillard. When are you finally gonna admit he needs to be playing off the ball. His most efficient season by far was next to Harden for a reason.

😂😂😂😂
maxey had mitchell and shead on him who are good defenders
Agreed

I remember Nurse being known for doing experiments. Give him time, it will work out 😀
Can't believe that James Harden is playing better than tyrese maxey right now with all the hype from the Knicks Series expected much much more from maxey
Really don't think nurse is the answer
Shut up. Last year you were saying how great our coach is. It's one bad game chill tf out.
Damnnnnn 😂😂 overreacting after 2 games? Chilll my boy Romp.
Lonzo Ball is the missing piece, he'll unlock Maxey, Embiid, PG's game to another level with his creativity. His ability to space the floor and defend is a bonus. Hopefully 76ers can grab him next season for cheap factoring in his injury history when he becomes a free agent.

He is Giannis' kryptonite on defence. Stewart can take a huge workload off Embiid.
Stop overreacting. It's just two games without their two all-stars
It is not Nick, any coach sixers hire will become worst coach….
Ahhhhh….finally….Romp, you really need to get Eastwood and RB on this channel, so they can be educated–and so DJ can quit accusing me of having a miserable life😂

The team is playing lazy.
I don't like how maxey is getting hate now when his poor play is largely a result of poor coaching decisions
Coming from a person who obviously has never played any team sport at a high level makes his opinion both laughable and sad,
The 6ers don’t really know how to build a team. Way too many undersized and old bench or should be retired players getting significant minutes. What a joke. Get a legit 6’10 / 6’11 POWER FORWARD! Get a legit POINT GUARD if you’re going to keep Maxey make sure he’s 6’5 and above.
Sixers have no identity, defensive team or offense team..no ROLES for the players!!..wtf…just run and GUN…
Yeah, bro, I've been watching this team for almost 3 decades now, and this is the most annoyed I've been over the last few seasons. It's all low IQ shit.
– Sign Lonnie Walker (this year's Oubre)
– Waive Reggie Jackson
– Sign Center for extra depth
– Or trade Reggie Jackson for Center for extra depth
Glad that the wonderful Raptors😈 could be of service to you.
