Philadelphia is 14-8 since the trade with a top 5 offense.
Top 5 points per game don't make you a Top 5 offense manPhiladelphia is 14-8 since the trade with a top 5 offense.
Jimmy just wants to play isolation ball. He wants to dribble dribble and take contested midrange shots, he wants to be the hero. I won't even put it all on him, that Philadelphia core is extremely arrogant from Simmons, to Embiid, to Butler. This team is winning and players are complaining about their role.
I see Embiid wanted to keep that 28 point per game average he had earlier in the season.
They're 15-6 when Butler plays and top 5 in points per game since he was acquired, sounds good to me. Have they had their 4Q struggles particularly Simmons? Sure, Butler has gotten the opportunity to hit some big shots in those moments off his side step. Every team has strengths and weaknesses, players have to adjust to each other and cover for each other that's how a team works. Butler just got there and shouldn't be suggesting the team revamp their whole offensive system because he wants to play isolation, pick and roll ball. If the team was losing maybe he could talk but they're not.
Its real convenient to blame Jimmy.
He actually had a decent record in Portland. He had one of the longest and most successful tenures.
I think embiid is a problem for Adams as well.
Missed the game. Friday night@Serious what the fukk is your team doing out here?
Yeah him and Motley are killing it in the G League. Motley just got called up to the main team and I expect Delgado will get a look post all star break. Glad he's coming around cause he looked average at best during summer league. We'll see what happens cause our rotation of Gortat and Boban has been shakey and down right awful at times.
Chicago is a shyt franchise, I was mostly referring to his issues with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. He question D-Rose's work ethic a guy that has come back from several knee injuries. Also, with Jimmy is not that he questions authority but his methods.Its real convenient to blame Jimmy.
Lets run it back to Chicago - where management tried to drop Butler's minutes, giving them to Tony Snell, in an attempt to make it easier to low ball him for contract negotiations. Same place that had their players doing hilariously incorrect or dumbass rehab exercises (like Mirotic locking out his knees on leg presses...) and had teammates knocking each other out. Same place that ran every player into the dirt for years and had guys playing while leaking spinal fluid. Same place that fired a coach this season because they forgot they were tanking then were SHOCKED that his replacement happened to be one of the most disliked coaches in America dating back 10+ years.
He said Chicago was a shyt franchise. Was he wrong?
Okay, Minnesota. KAT's playoff run was incredibly disgusting. Wiggins refused to improve any part of his game. Jimmy bring Minnesota the defensive culture that they needed to FINALLY get back into playoffs after one of the longest droughts in the league at the time. Jimmy takes the toughest cover every night and plays unselfishly until it becomes obvious that 1) these guys got no heart and 2) management has already chosen to put their max money behind those guys - who didn't win shyt until Jimmy got there. Not only that, they lay out the blueprint to lowballing him yet again by giving Wiggins the max before trading Butler, which removed all the leverage he would've had negotiating a potential sign and trade for CP3 type of agreement with a future team. The team made that circus when the owner wanted to keep him but his trash coach/trash gm refused. Jimmy just hopped in party they already started.
And Philly?
Brown's coddling is the reason why people think Fultz got abducted by aliens, JJ Reddikk gets a free pass to run in circles and miss the shots he's paid to hit, Embiid gotta shoot 3s, and Simmons gets to be a liability against any good team. Jimmy got more experience than just about everyone on the roster. Don't bring in vets for win now moves if you don't want that energy.
being 15-6 is cool but NO ONE has them beating Indiana, Boston, Toronto, and maybe not even Milwaukee either - that's all that matters.
How is Desi doing?
