    I think the "we can play like this every night" take is more likely.

    giles a minus 11 tonight. I really think he is the weak point in our rotation and very disappointed Olshey hasn't done anything about it yet.

    They went out there didn't put there heads down because injuries and competed on both ends this how you win games. Plus very balance on shots opportunities and pretty balance scoring they play as a team at both ends especially the 2nd half.

    Key to the third quarter, from stotts:

    "We made a lot of shots."

    not this thread, but any time Stotts is brought up, Neil is brought up, and then Elleby and "wasted roster spot" gets brought up.

    The game at GS last year early in the year is a good example.

    excuse me sir, it was already decided on here that Elleby was a waste of a spot.

    He said "everyone played the type of game they are capable of playing,.. with the exception of Elleby". Backhanded compliment?

    Kanter is playing great. Dominated the boards. Great signing.

    I'm sure we could find better use of a roster spot than Blevins.

    I thought he looked pretty good. The run at the end of the game was not his fault. He also got screwed by the refs a couple of times.

    told yall

    embiid did nothing to impact this game. getting 40 or even 60 woulda done nothing for them. played shit d, let enes destroy him on the boards, and had such a high usage that no one else got any touches to get into a rhythm. think that was our game plan-- let him eat and get whatever he wants, and stay home on the shooters. won us the game.

    in this game today, high usage bigs who don't play D ( didn't tonight) and can't shoot from 3 cannot win. surprised Daryl didnt let Doc know this stuff tonight.

    Really surprised Doc did not press us. He always has before.

    he coached a horrific game. even a couple traps on our guards and some semblance of a P&R with embiid woulda resulted in a blowout for them.
