    Lets be honest though, NBA fans are watching it for the Sixers, not us.

    Love TJ McConnell.
    Nurk should stop being a drama queen every time he gets touched
    CJ isn’t the problem

    So is it blatantly effort or defensive scheme from the opponent? If that, then is it Stotts inabilities to adjust? I mean, I’ve bought in to, and have seen, what I would consider a “lack of effort” but then I think - Bazz has NO REASON to lack effort ever and he knows it. It makes no sense

    So do yo know why? Genuine question fwiw

    So what’s up with this team because I could apply the same logic almost entirely across the board by position

    Hard to have highlights when you spend 20 seconds each possession giving hand jobs er, I mean hand-offs outside the 3-point line.
    PHI plays an exciting brand of basketball. POR plays HORSE.

    I'm really starting to prefer Davis and Collins to Nurkic. Davis finishes. He finishes. Nurkic does NOT finish. Collins will get there. I kinda miss Plumlee.

    I'M watching for the 6ers! That's 2/3rds true. Literally the only reason I'm watching is to see Embiid, Simmons, and Collins - I could give fuck all about anything else at this point.

    I don't mind Nurk tonight. He's done a pretty good job on Embiid.

    Its:
    - Inconsistencies in players' mental state ad focus
    - Stotts inability to adjust
    - Players bring streaky in nature
    - Our offenses inability to get easy shots (Especially on the break and in transition)
    - Not all our players are consistently put in a position to attack (Too much weave and ISO)

    Reggie Miller just said Ben Simmons doesn't have anyone else that can bring the ball up. I guess he doesn't know much about Dario Sric.

    Nurk bleeds and he gets assessed the foul. Makes sense.

    One thing I will say, if Embiid is healthy enough to play he’s healthy enough to practice

    Or he’s a straight Prima Donna which if I had to guess.....that’s exactly how this is going to end

    Ps how is Nurks bloody nose a foul on Nurk? Wow.

    I just turned on the game to the beat of like 4 foul calls on us already. Good to know this league is still officiated by a bunch of fucking clowns.
