76ers have actually been pretty good lately…but they were without Embiid.Gladiator wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 7:38 pmStrong finish to the game with some major caveats:
-it’s one game
-the Sixers are really bad (and undermanned)
-we could have been down double figures at half time
I’d like to see it more often and against decent opposition before getting my hopes up too much. But it was nice to see them play like a team in the second half.
We play better with Tyus on the bench. I like Tyus but he doesn’t manipulate defenses and is bad defensively. There’s reason why he’s a back up pg. not all is his fault, his bread and butter is pnr and with our current bigs being garbage isn’t helping him. I think ultimately he will start games but he won’t finish them.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 7:36 pmTuned in for the final 15 minutes…thought we looked great! I saw like 2 minutes of Nurk and I don’t think Tyus even played while I watched…did he get hurt? Team seemed to be having fun. Grayson barely played too. Loved Dunn and Oso. What the hell is wrong with Booker though? He can’t make anything.
Yes
I just think Tyus can’t play when Beal/Booker are both on the court or when Nurk is on the court…that’s why probably means he can start, but he can’t play a ton of minutes and can’t finish games. Line his minutes with Oso as much as possible. Oso is a real roll threat and can actually switch defensively.Wally_West wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 7:56 pmWe play better with Tyus on the bench.

If this line up was a person, it would fuck a lot.

Agreed. No reason why Oso shouldn’t be getting 20mins plus a night. Even if he has bad games, we gotta live and die with those. He’s a rookie, It’s only gonna help Oso. Use Grayson or JO for a proper starting center and let Oso back him up.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 8:03 pmI just think Tyus can’t play when Beal/Booker are both on the court or when Nurk is on the court…that’s why probably means he can start, but he can’t play a ton of minutes and can’t finish games.

To be clear, Saucy, I don't think you're an idiot. You're obviously very intelligent. I just think you're acting like an idiot when it comes to HIMMY. And I'm not alone.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:36 pmFair enough. But saying "making an idiot out of yourself" isn't name calling. Some of the stuff is a bit embarrassing that you're saying. And yes, this season sucks so it's nice to try to have fun with it.specialsauce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:33 pmThis season is cooked. This roster is a mess. There are people spamming about Ishbia selling our fantasy picks all over the board. At least I'm having fun with it. There is hope. He is hope. If you don't like the optimism, you can easily click ignore. Name calling ain't it.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:26 pmYeah, Sauce. It is getting pretty old.

There was another play near this one where they trapped Book and the ball got to Oso in the paint, he drew the defense and found KD wide open for 3…was very simple but one of the few times I’ve seen us handle the double well.
