Hows that the coaches problem?:dahell:

And why cant Simmons just be a bad shooter? Not everyone can shoot :yeshrug:
It's clearly coaching and lack of discipline from what I can see. Like I said, it isn't just one player with a problem, there's multiple problems with their best players. Al Horford is just the main topic in this thread.

We could start one on Emibiid and Simmons too.

In SImmons case, from what was reported, he was instructed to take atleast (1) 3 pointer per game; And I don't remember him shooting one since the first 10 games. It'd be one thing for him to have abysmal shooting stats, and therefore he switched his game up to not shooting anymore--but we don't even have that excuse to fall back on.

and you can say that based on what?

And for the record, I'm not really talking about 3s...I'm talking about just a simple mid range, something most starting PGs can do.

Horford should be moved solely off making casuals believe Simmons & Embiid can’t play together. When if you look at the data from when they started playing together with shooters they’ve always been an upper tier lineup

They should call up the Celtics this summer and swap Hayward for Horford.

Wasn't a big part of this intended to take away the C's main defender of Embiid and to fill in for Embiid when needed? I mean, yeah $100 mil is rather steep for schedenfreude and a back up but it's not like this was supposed to be a big 3..was it :patrice:?

the coach of the sixers is trash tho.


I never saw the rockets have this issue.
I never saw thr Portland trailblazers with buck duck and cliff have these issues.
I never saw the kc coached Boston Celtics. Have this issue.
I never saw the Lakers have this issue.


the coaching in the NBA sucks.

all these teams lack positional focus and roster built purpose.

like watching, wack parochial school country club coaches get to coach pros.
I am convinced the coaches could not even beat someone.
in a great basketball videogame engine like live x.

the first problem is embiid play like a soft ass perimeter based euro and won't go down low.
embiid thinks he is a primary perimeter player.

he does not even think in the triple threat or low post.
embiid thinks he is a three or a two guard.
that is the first fukk'n problem.

it is infuriating.


take yo soft euro ass down low on the bkock motherfukker.

you not the pg, ben Simmons is.
embiid you not the two either.

you are the fukk'n center cry baby euro ass nikka.
be the center.

Yeah this is a coaching/play calling problem IMO. He's ALWAYS bringing up the ball, hanging around the perimeter, and pump faking at the top of the key...and everytime I see him there, I'm ready to throw a fukin plate at the screen for him to get IN THE DAMN PAINT where he belongs.

Play in the paint and he dominates. He's like Akeem 2.0

Stupid ass signing...signed solely bc Embiid is fragile and couldnt score against him

I could see 4/60....but 100 mill....that was bound to be an albatross

they coulda just signed Richaun Holmes back to be Embiid's backup for like 8 mill a year and had money leftover to sign some shooters

I hate to see a blac man fukk up but damn Elton movin retarded out here....the team construction is some shyt

he licks that intestinal fortitude that keem had.
he will not go down low.

I wanna throw my plate of food on that nikka, too.
every time the sixers on offense.
The shyt beyond infuriating.

it is so low bball iq, I have to sometimes check out of watching my other favorite team.

it is at the point. I may just have to like the individual players and check out of my sixers fandom.
thr bucks get infuriating too but that is another topic. I won't be able to talk about till the offs.
which i will probably grow infuriated at both. As right now, sixers and bucks could lose to the heat and the new Scottie, scottie siakam lead raptors.

finals could be Lakers or clippers verse heat or raps,...easy.

with the dumbass way the bucks and sixers play by scheme.
