3 observations after Sixers can't quite come back again, win streak ends at 8
https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/sixers/sixers-wizards-joel-embiid-pj-tucker-injury-sixers-observations-nba
Maxey should come off the bench 100%
If Embiid keep ending the game with SINGLE DIGIT rebounds we ain’t going no mf where!!!! Biggest mf on the court. UNACCEPTABLE
Joel carrying the team once again. Can someone maybe help out once in a while?
😅
76
Outrebounding and missing every missing possession of scoring and creating enough separation to executed the right plays of checkdowns and aggressiveness to played more Matisse Thybulle and Tyrese Maxey since Tobias Harris, Danuel House Jr., and DeAnthony Melton is struggling to changing the lack of adjustments and fastbreak.
How TF you lose to the wizards!?
Doc rivers inconsistent bench rotation can't be overcome all the time. Harrell can't play center but that doesn't matter to doc rivers.
This is one of the team's problems, in having a handle-less SF masquerade at the 4; just not a good fit next to a subpar rebounding 5. A competitve 2nd-round series is this team's ceiling.
Not Enough to Seal the Deal, On to the Next GO SIXERS ❤️💙🏀🙏🏾
Amy: "48 points (for Embiid). He leads the league just over Luka Doncic. This is surely going to help that cause."
Err…maybe not.
I agree with the way doc is talking for a change. It just didn't seem like we were playing well enough to catch up and win it was more like they were expecting to win no matter what.
Joel for as great a player as he is, let's be honest ,is an absolute turnover machine. He's got to be either at or near the top in turnovers per game. I can't even count the number of times he's had the ball in hid hands at a key point in games and either turned it over or gotten it stripped. When you compare it to the other great center Jokic who almost NEVER turns the ball over its alarming. I know it's hard to criticize a guy who just put up 48 pts, and he obviously isn't the reason they lost this game. But I just think how much even more dominate he would be if he took better care of the ball.
Everything will be fine I’m not worried at all the Wizards played better give them credit people are so wrapped up in their record remember they are nba players as well people need to Stfu and stop whining and complaining enjoy the ride
Y'all fans never satisfied
ELTON Brand needs to go and Morrey and Doc
It’s a shame he’s having a great season and he still won’t get mvp b/c of Jokic,Luka,KD..,etc plus they go by most games played. Unfortunately
Tucker has a right hand injury
-START THYBULLE
– Let Tucker rest his injury
– This will increase Thybulle's trade value
– It's not like Tucker is irreplaceable
– Give Thybulle 30 min a game to see what he does
START THYBULLE
– Tucker has an injury
It's not how many points a player has at the end of the game, but how much the team has that determines who won or lost.
The Sixers should be dominant on the boards and most nights they get beat on the boards, especially in offensive rebounding. They also do not defend well in transition, and they haven't defended well in transition for several years. And for all Joel's greatness as a scorer, for a man of his size and ability to be averaging under ten boards a game is a big part of the reason why this team doesn't rebound well. A team that doesn't rebound well and defend in transition cannot get to the finals. If they do not get elite in these two areas, they will get bounced in the second round again.
48pts don't mean you win! 1 assist is bad, but you have harden there sometimes Joel needs to get out the way and let harden cook, and stop turning the ball over he doesn't have to drop 40 pts a night for them to win , Harden can give you 30 or fall back and give u 15 assist , and 10 rebounds, Joel has to be more flexible , are you in the hunt for a MVP or a championship?
Joel is a good player but he can be selfish sometimes. He is doing too much just pass the ball and stop worrying about that MVP.
