Holy shit dude we were up by like 16 and I said "It's the Sixers, traffic sucked last time, Imma beat all these other suckers out of here while they watch this 16 point lead grow to 30"...

Listened to the game on the way home. Glad we pulled it off, shouldn't have given up that lead though.
 
Alexander was inactive tonight because the 76ers didn't have any sort of front court.

As far as substitution patterns, I kind of agree. Stotts has robotic rotations to the point where he'll sit a guy even if he's on fire, just because it's that time of the game. I wish he would ride the hot hand a bit more. Besides that, I think he's a great coach. You could criticize pretty much any coach in the nba if you really wanted to.
 
Harkless>Crabbe>Leonard. Even when he's not making shots he impacts the game a lot more than the other two.

He's a different player when he starts. It's like he loosens up and just plays, because he knows he's going to get minutes.
 
I hate games like this. You could see a poor effort coming before the game even started, and the first few minutes validated the concern.

It's all your fault. And does traffic really get that bad? I only go to 1 or 2 games a season but I always stay til the very end and I've never experienced bad traffic. Maybe it's just the way I go though.

Not really, and I don't usually leave until the game is officially over, but I didn't want to deal with any traffic. All in all I can't complain, we won and I had freedom on the left the entire way home.
 
Why is Alexander inactive? I could understand DNP but Kaman and Caunaghton are both getting DNPs (and Montero) while Alexander, who's a better player with better potential and who's a PF while Meyers Leonard is unable to play, isn't even an option for Stotts.
I think this has been the greatest disadvantage of our coaching staff, their inability to make the right calls and make adjustments. They are sticking to their plan even when their plan sucks, and their plan sucks because they're sticking to it and show no ability to adjust, no creativity in the decision making.
As a coach you need to react. You're unable to react if you decided your substitution pattern not before the game, monthes before the game. It just doesn't work this way.
I try to avoid being antagonistic but I think if Neil Olshey is one of the best GMs in the league, Stotts is maybe the worst coach. I don't think the players have faith in him, I don't, I don't know how anyone who understand basketball would have faith in him. He is not a coach, not a leader, not a decision maker. I was hoping he could get better but his inability to change is exactly his weakness. I'm hoping we don't rehire him after this season
What the fuck? Stotts has made adjustments all season. In fact, he just made a HUGE adjustment moving Aminu to PF where he has been very productive and starting Harkless who has also been very productive. Vonleh used to be starting. Now he isn't. What the fuck are you talking about? And the players have a lot of faith in him. Ed Davis and Kaman have said he's the best coach they've ever played for. And Stotts and Dame have had a great relationship. Stotts has made adjustments all year. Sounds like you just get upset when they're not YOUR adjustments. Well, why don't you apply for the job and pitch your style to an NBA team and see how far that gets you?

If you're not gonna watch the whole game, why go?
 
We barely got a win over the Sixers in Portland while the Sixers miss their 3 best players??

Just listening to Martell's label songs, some nice things there haha :djspin:
 
Missed most of the game after the first qtr but in the highlights after the game I saw Dame take a knee to the ribcage that looked pretty bad..I think it hobbled him but he still finished the game. A win is a win...problem when a team like the Sixers has 6 guys out....they are going to play 6 guys you never scouted or prepared for.
 
Like having sex with my wife!!
I was gonna make a joke where you and Sly were part of three people representing Ugly, Goofy and Sloppy.

I just can't think of who to include to play Sloppy.

They don't have faith in him, they have nothing against him which is exactly his agenda in coaching. His number one priority is to keep everyone happy. His substitutions aren't funny, they would be funny if he was on another team. He makes his substitution pattern for a season. Why should there even be a fucking pattern? Vonleh used to start both halves and then sit the rest of the way. He was good enough to start but never to be needed after that. You know what? It is funny
