    As much as this team needs size, are they worse with Nurk in there at this point?

    I think so. He really has been bad since coming back. But really he was bad pre injury too

    I'm shocked at this effort. They don't have Ingram or Alvarado. They are trashing us in a must win game for both teams. It looks like the Embiid shot broke them. Sad.

    it's tryouts for next season which is worth gauging a contract offer for. trying to build a team identity moving forward is worth gold even if this season is a wash.

    Team identity will be help tremendously by Wemby or what a very high Draft pick can get them.

    This is just ugly basketball. No spacing at all.

    I think Nurk might be one of those guys who’s value has deteriorated so much that we can’t find any suitors

    This season was doomed from the start when he was the only rotation player over 6'8" on the roster.

    Anyone else starting to feel reluctant about giving Grant a huge contract this summer?

    Pretty sure he's helping us offer him a contract that's not huge...he's not going to get the bag on the open market either. He'll probably get the Norm Powell deal.

    Completely. Nurk and Hart have been out for a while and he is barely over 4 rebounds per game with tons of board opportunities. Much more like his Dad than his Uncle.

    The first quarter was a garbage quarter. 42-25.
