So Sixers rest Embiid last night against Kings and lost and now he’s playing and they’re getting blown out. If they’re gonna comeback in the standings, they need their big 3 to play every game,
 
strange, if you move the ball around you can find players vs just driving to the hoop like you're drunk.
 
This might shock none of you, coming from me, but Clingan has looked like trash recently
 
Not a good 2nd quarter.
 
Billups allowed a 28-8 LA run
 
Despite having 14 points, Shaedon’s having a rough game. Some other guys need to step up and help him. More aggression from Scoot.
 
are they really not going to reference what happened to Calabro? is this not a temporary thing?
 
I see we're back to the awful passing, the poor shot selection and the inability to finish at the rim or at least to draw fouls in those situations.

Ayton might as well be playing for the Lakers. He looks like someone's replaced his hands with cadaver hands the last couple of games. Can't hold onto anything. Appears disinterested on both ends of the floor.

Sharpe can't seem to hit anything outside 15 anymore.

He should have gotten a foul against Reeves on that one Euro, though. I still don't understand the point of replay if you can't get it right.

She's not bad, but someone should point out she's doing TV not radio. She's doing what Schonz used to do, when he did TV...calling too many plays that we can see.

I agree. If she chills with that I think she has lots of potential to be good.

Never would have thought I'd be saying we need more Scoot but right now he sparks the team. His defense has been good, he's getting steals and he's getting us good shots when he's initiating the offense.

It was the refs chance to rid both teams of challenges so they could be unfettered.

Not worried about Shaedon’s shot. It’s just a slump.

I also thought the double foul call on Ant and LeBron was the right call until I watched the replay and it was pretty clear for the last 3 seconds or so of that exchange it was all James holding Simons' arm.
 
Simons wants to build a brick house instead of playing basketball tonight.

Yep. Scoot should start and play 40 minutes every night. Not doing that is stupid.

Yeah, wasn't the only time. He's holding on to people trying to draw fouls. Pathetic.

He shot 30.3% from 3 in December and that actually was an improvement over November.

There's being a fan and then there's recognizing and admitting a deficiency in his game that's become the norm.
 
Our defense has been so awful for about the last 15 games or so
 
I am continually perplexed at just how often this team goes away from what works, goes away from ball movement, just just drives to the hoop with no idea wtf they're going to do, and makes a stupid pass to the other team.

I cannot wait for this team to actually have an offense that isn't like watching a drunk 3rd grader play ball.
 
Sharpe’s last 5 games from 3:

1/8
2/4
5/10
1/4
3/6

I hope he continues that “slump.” One bad game is not a month.

I've noticed that she kinda stopped doing that, I wonder if maybe they made a suggestion? Totally agree tho, you can see she has a lot of potential to call games on TV.

But it’s not the norm. He has been shooting well lately. Your “month long” slump doesn’t hold water.
