    Rose Garden looks pretty packed, so I guess that’s good. Not a lot to be happy about otherwise. Just too many issues to be fixed to be really excited about much.

    If I think the problem with this team is the roster then why do I continue to expect them to play better?

    When CJ runs the p&r he makes bad decisions. Therefore Stotts has adjusted to sliding the offense.

    Wow. Watch how much time the ball spends inside the 3-point arc when PHI has the ball. Compare to how much time the ball spends inside the 3-point arc when we have the ball. Night and day. We waste 18-20 seconds each possession by bumbling passes from player to player OUTSIDE the 3-point arc. This is Terry Stotts' offense, and it SUUUUUUUUUCKS.

    The roster is bad in part because it's inconsistent. I just expect consistent effort and play but it's not there.

    Ex. Bazz and Moe had 41pts and killed it against LAL They have 3 at halftime right now and Bazz has been awful.

    That would be because Stotts would be encouraging him to camp at the 3pt line shooting jumpers

    Watching Shaq talk about Embiid makes me want to give a kidney to watch them play against each other

    Seriously though. And a lot of our good halfcourt and transition sets from the LMA days have disappeared. We barely run Horns anymore, and that's the staple of NBA offenses ave is simple, quick, effective, and has multiples options. Now all we do is weave.
