RavensTillIDie Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pop may be the greatest coach of all-time, but the fact that he chose to side with his medical staff over Kawhi is absolutely hilarious in hindsight lol. My goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Spain PnR to get Kawhi a dunk to end the half! Spain PnR to me is like horns to Jay Bilas. I always have to point it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Siakam has been turned into Ben Simmons w/o the passing this series. In the way they totally ignore him at the 3pt line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqOptic Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Brett Brown better not be affiliated with this team when we lose this series. Game 4 was a must win and he got soundly outcoached. Then he lets the team come out with this type of effort to follow up. But the reports about how the Sixers have allowed Embiid to mismanage his health only confirm what I've seen from Brown all season. Brown has overused him and not cared about his health and this is the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that the minutes he played this season were absurd. Should have been on the Kawhi season plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm6492 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 EMbiid looks like he is dead and brings down energy of the team. Ben Simmons looks bad, not an easy matchup with Kawhai on both ends, but he has been missing easy shots. Harris does not look like a max player. Jimmy does look like a max player.

Yeah but it's hard to see them recovering after blowing a great chance in game 4 and getting their clocks cleaned. Embiid doesn't appear to be anywhere near full strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But paying Jimmy comes with some major risks - age/mileage/personality. Tobias is younger and a player that is an easy fit around their guys but he just isn't a max player. Pretty disappointing that this is the core they ended up with after all that discussion about the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need Simmons to develop, keep Embiid healthy, and gain chemistry. Whether the chemistry is a coaching issue is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the chemistry is a coaching issue is another question. It definitely is a coaching issue. This team can compete. It needs to get rid of Brett Brown first and foremost. It needs to better spread out Embiid's (and Boban's) minutes in the regular season. The new coach also needs to encourage Ben to shoot more because I have little to no doubt that BB has told Ben not to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embiid and Simmons obviously have some potentially serious flaws long term, and this team clearly could use a different type of leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
