I would bet my entire savings and life, Embiid won’t be healthy for a playoff run

All this precautionary shyt, not playing back to backs, resting for long stretches… we’ve tried it all before
Bro the thing is…you signed another max player who you have to load manage. You don’t have the personnel on this team to get away with resting Jo and PG. You’re gonna need to win 45-50 of the games Joel plays

We should have kept Cam Payne instead of signing Eric Gordon :francis: He’s pretty much cooked but also not really being used right. I know we all love Maxey act like he’s the next coming of A.I but he’s not that. He’s a great 2nd option but for all his hard work he still needs a go to move. Defenses crowd him to neutralize his speed. Without Embiid a Maxey led team is a lottery team :yeshrug: It’s only the beginning of the season so I’m not taking too much stock on how we look right now without PG and Biid. However, with this plan they better learn how to win without Biid in the lineup. I don’t understand how we were winning games with Shake and worse role players with Harden, Biid, and Maxey all missing a ton of games early in the 2022/23 season.

we basically have to optimize for 2 rosters. A playoff roster and the Embiid-less regular season one.

Eric Gordon makes sense if we had a center to draw doubles or a play making pg to drive and kick.

We have neither lol.

Too many old guys and we’re too small. If Pg wants Reggie around so bad then put him on his payroll..you’re already making 50 million. Go see what Jae Crowder has left.

refs were blatant with it on some WWE shyt...but we finally got our first win :wow:


I was talking to one of my boys during the game and said the NBA has the worst refs in professional sports. I said AEW/WWE refs will get laid out and be unconscious until the heel can cheat to a win and still are better at their job.

One thing I don't like about Nick Nurse's offense is that it's too predicated on drawing double teams for open shots. When the stars are missing it makes the offense very stagnant

It's also too much dribbling and not enough off ball actions being ran to free up open shooters which makes us work so hard for open looks. It's why Hield wasn't used correctly here and is thriving in GS now

Pistons fans :laff:

Wednesdays game is gonna be must see tv...i wonder if Bball Paul is getting any burn over there, i gotta support my guy

We were the bad guys according to the national media for pointing out how bad/inconsistent he was while here. He’s a role player it’s actually not his fault there are so many stupid GMs around the league.

I’m not mad a Joel, I’m not mad at Nurse, heck I’ll give Brett and Doc retroactive passes for how they handled news on Joel or any injured players. The issue is this organization and their secrecy about everything. Everything is top secret like they are building a Metal Gear or something :martin: Stop lying about everything all the time if he’s hurt let us know, if you want him to lose more weight 1st let us know, if he’s a the weight you want but not basketball shape say that :martin: 1st PG was good now he isn’t why is everything always so top secret. They be having the coaches look crazy with the media.
