absolutely baffling why doc does not stagger embiid and harden

Can't have Harden in on defense without Embiid to cover for him. They have Maxey coming off the bench now to fill the scoring role when Embiid sits.

 

[Chris Craig]

I won! They outscored them by 9! I had 6 points to spare!

Congrats!

Wait...did you literally bet your house?

 

[Tince]

I’d say the team gets 85% of the blame and Billups gets 15%. Is that fair? Or do you really think it’s 0% for Billups and coaches don’t matter ever?

Much closer to what I've been saying it sbould be. Some people seem to have it flipped though.

 

[illmatic99]

harrell is kanter level at guarding p&r.

should be attacking him every possession

 

[AldoTrapani]

I’m sorry what do ya see in Sharpe other than his Gerald green like dunks? He makes like 1 jumper a night then misses the whole night

 

[THE HCP]

no. you repeat the same shit over and over again thinking you're smart when you read like 10 posts and make nonsense interpretations and judgements. in the process, you spam the board with bullshit every day. literal definition of "troll"

weak? foh. don't you have more replays to show over live action again?

Wow. Anger. This shit ain’t that important bro. Don’t know what’s funnier, your post or the fact you got somebody to like it.

i dunno how sustainable this bench offense will be for them in the playoffs against better defenses

 

[MickZagger]

They won’t.
They will make a run.

oh

It'll be better than Harden/Harrell trying to cover a PnR.

 

[illmatic99]

taking little out now?

 

[Freshtown]

Here’s an example of bad coaching right here: taking Nas out when he’s been the best player on the floor the past 5 minutes.

I guess stuff like this doesn’t matter though, right HCP?

 

[DaLong]

its hilarious to me how if we do good no one says anything in these games but the games we play like shit everyones got something to say....

Probably would help to have more games where we did the former rather than the latter.

You know I went back and re read this, “thinking I’m smart”? You GOTTA dive deeper into this. I HAVE to know what I typed that would give the impression that I was “Thinking I was smart” I will totally wait.

Also, I HAVE to see what you consider “nonsense interpretations and judgements” These are all VERY specific complaints and accusations towards me. I’m very curious for your reply.

 

[MickZagger]

Who else is more excited about keeping our draft pick rather than fighting tooth and nail for a play in spot?

Maybe being really shitty will precipitate some trades too

Isn't he on a minutes restriction?

It doesn't when the undisputed fact that billups is a far superior coach to stotts.

Love knowing that's an undisputed fact.

 

[MickZagger]

Well Grant wants to get paid

 

[THE HCP]

I’d say the team gets 85% of the blame and Billups gets 15%. Is that fair? Or do you really think it’s 0% for Billups and having good coaching doesn’t matter?

Luke Walton on Line 1.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Not that I care if we win or lose but boy is dame a turnover machine this year

 

[Freshtown]

Isn't he on a minutes restriction?

I sure hope so. That’s the only excuse for making that sub.

I fully expect us to be the 10 seed, sneak into the playoffs, win game 1 in Denver, and lose in 5. And no draft pick.

 

[Strenuus]

Lol. Giving up so easily. So glad I learned my lesson. Guess you're not watching until draft day.

 

[Strenuus]

Isn't he on a minutes restriction?

Lol people forget so quickly. This is why it's an undisputed fact billups is a far superior coach to Stotts.

 

[Chris Craig]

Just enough to tease us

 

[Tince]

I sure hope so. That’s the only excuse for making that sub.

I accept your apology on Billups behalf.

If you’re going to talk shit son, at least tag me so I can see it. Side note: I don’t think they should have fired Stotts, so you coming at me about Billups is comical. Google me.

calling it like i see it. your "act" is growing old on me, "bro." it feels very "weak."

the way you dismiss anything people say that you disagree with because of your access is tiring. if you know shit, say it explicitly. if not, the snarky commentary is not necessary. the way you talk down about this community is similarly tiring, when you fail to realize people here actually might know and understand the game.

not the thread to continue this, but hope this response is enough for you.

 

[Tince]

Luke Walton on Line 1.

Our next coach...

Not really because we aren't getting Wembanyama

 

[Freshtown]

Lmao are you serious?
