Doc mentioned guys being selfish in the second half and not moving the ball. He was right.

I don’t see too much to be worried about. Hopefully Joel got his stinker out the way. Handle business at home and we’ll be straight.

I had the same uneasy feeling today especially they way the local media guaranteed a victory tonight. I figured we were going to win in 6. I like Tobias being aggressive but the way he and Embiid forced shots in the 2nd half was terrible. Seth was cooking and those 2 froze everyone else out in the 2nd half.
Korkmaz was bad and Doc overall didn’t do a good job. He kept the bench in way to log at times.

He does this thing with his rotations that irritates the hell out of me. He’ll see Trae about to sub in and then wait a possession or two to sub Ben in.

I still say start Korkmaz cause he can be that nikka and if you get good Kork you prolly blow the game open, but they have got to start developing some counter punch with a non Joel lineup

It’s just very evident that if they do go to the finals, that knees bound to have another bad flare up like tonight. Can’t afford to just punt a winnable game from this point on

Dont play with your food
I think they came out with plenty of fire, whatever moment in the second half Embiid started feeling the knee gave their team breathing room and the fans just came alive. Philly didn’t look mentally right from the top level guys from that point on. Thought Shake’s stretch, Dwight killling and the Matisse three was going to be enough to convince the “stars” this was winnable but Idk. Ben was pretty much useless with the DHOs not a real factor, Tobias was getting sonned by Collins, even though I felt he got to the spots he liked. Kork seemed like the second best form of good offense, but he’d give that shyt back up against any wing they had.

gotta figure out a plan with his minutes to not have him on Bogi. He at least physically works vs Huerter

They made an adjustment to go under the screens on Tobias. Tobias and Joel have to keep shooting the 3. Don’t hesitate and just shoot especially Tobias

We've tolerated this Simmons shyt for long enough. Get this nikka off our roster.

Hack a simmons with 4 mins left in the 2nd quarter is embarassing
deferring to everybody else
defenses playing 5 on 4 due to his ineptitude offensively
fans applauding him when he makes freethrows like a special needs kid...

get him the fukk off this roster.

Tobias choosing the biggest moments to turn back into the hoe ass nikka he was

Doc not understanding how to tighten up rotations and blowing another series.

salute to atlanta...

Morey will make some shyt happen :manny:

I would trade Tobias and Simmons this off-season. Resign Green for bench role for vet minimum. Curry is locked with his contract. Fix the bench somehow and don't trade Maxey or Matisse

And y'all wonder why I say this team is cursed
cursed with idiotic coaching and a pg who has no sense of urgency :snoop: I’m honestly not mad at Ben, I’m mad at myself for believing Tobias had turned a corner and became a reliable 2nd scorer. I’m mad that I thought Ben would play aggressive, I’m mad that I thought Doc would learn not to empty the bench in the playoffs… I was wrong this was a piss poor coached series with the exception of game 3. Doc has looked like Brett Brown with these dumb timeouts and rotations :snoop:
