In a loosely related subject, that white female ref could get it..

She might be out of a job herself after her performance in the Grizzlies-Rockets game last night. She blew easy calls all night. It was completely embarrassing. Had to be helped by the other refs several times.

I think it's a combination of things. Some type of replay/challenge needs to be implemented. The Refs need to be held accountable I agree, but why isn't this something addressed when the Player's Union negotiate?

These players who whine almost all the time or whom the refs feel intimidate them, need to adjust their on court demeanors, at least until the 2nd half of the season haha..this is where more veteran players need to be on each team, teaching these guys how to be professionals. I like that Hayward workman, a former NBA player, is a ref. Having for ref that were former players, as well as checking THEIR demeanors as well would help.

I get that. It's gotta be hard to have a 6'8 Lebron whos the face of the league barking at you, but you're an NBA ref you have to do your job. Joey Craw Craw was literally a staple of ESPN and fans knew him by name. Name another sport where fans know a ref by first and last name like you can buy his jersey somewhere

They were excoriating that bytch on the fan forums last night. Hilarious.

bytch needs to be thrown out the league asap.

I don't see why the Sixers can't keep them all. When Simmons gets in the mix they could be vicious. They need some veteran presence, preferably a couple who play D..

Imagine if the Sixers & the Bucks both got in the playoffs consecutive years & wrecked first round opponents..

The 76ers may likely prefer to keep Nerlens...But the dude who needs to go point blank is jahlil...Your right the best bet for them is to honestly continue to competing a bit but keep an eye on their draft positioning and make sure that they don't exceed past the Lakers.

Best bet for the 76ers imho is to move Jahlil for anything of value....And grow the current team they have and built up the culture...But shut it down in the last month or so of the season. Make sure they get the 2 lottery picks.

During the offseason sign a dude like Patty Mills to be a place holder at PG until their rookie is available find an NBA quality backup SF if they don't draft a guy like Isaac and honesty find an upgrade at SG over Henderson.

I predict they will be in the playoffs by next season.

C:Embiid
PF:Simmons
SF:Roco
SG: hopefully can get one for Jahlil if not Mclemore or even Affalo just a place holder type...id trade Jahlil for any NBA quality SG I could get damn near...Would love someone like Danny Green.
PG:Mills

Kings lost we just need to take care of the nuggets today

 

[Wiirdo]

I didn't see ANY of this when responding..so it's interesting that you mention Mclemore too haha. I like Simmons at the 3. I'd love to see him run a point forward spot.

You can forget Danny Green. Altho he seems to be off with his shot so far this year, I dont see them letting him go.. Especially for JO. For that matter the same with Patty.

Kyle Korver back to Philly might've been a good look.

Green is shooting 43% this year from 3. Last year he was way off though.

Our first big game w/o Ricky curious to see how Dunn and Jones play tonight

On paper Rudy Gay was a nice compliment but for some reason it's not working. And when they got Rondo, I THOUGHT Boogie Gay Rondo could work but damn, what happened?

Place is a mess from top to bottom breh

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

Exactly. From top is what I'm looking at. Who's the whizkid who decide Karl was going to be good for the team? Is Shaq taking a hands on approach with Boogie, or has Boogie shunned his advice? What happened with Rondo??

two answers breh

 

[NatiboyB]

If he was going to get the message he'd have it by now...Enough isn't enough they will be in the playoffs next season this is it.....But this doesn't need to be an all out tank but they need to make sure they get a top 6 pick.

I agree about everything else but what's the point in rushing this season to be an easy out when they can set themselves up to be contenders by netting 2 more talented players? And than going all in on competing going forward with the pieces they have.

I like keeping JO instead of moving him. Limit his playing time until he gets the message. Bringing in solid veterans is my angle. Mills would be decent, but nowhere near enough. Ben Mclemore might work at the 2 but not much difference over Henderson.

I dont agree with continued tanking for positioning in the draft, enough is enough. At some point you have to work with who you already have. If they can't work with JO and other pieces, then we need to look at putting the GM under the scope & the hot seat.

Does Jim Halpert still play for the Thunder? I know he getting old but I ain't seen him on the court in a minute.

 

[BXKingPin82]

Orlando bringing it to the Dubbies :meloohhh:

 

[Easy-E]

As long as AD has to play the 5, the Pelicans are going to have issues. He needs to be at the 4.

That's not their only problem, but it's what stands out to me.

That's on this brotha
