Doc Rivers can't draw up an inbounds play to save his life

That last play drawn up was terrible. I’m ready for Sam. If we need to lose 8 out the next 12, so be it. It will help in the long run. I know we won’t actually lose that many and Doc will stay. 

Yeah wasn’t a good play. Doc is an idiot and really the sixers are wasting embiid’s career keeping him knowing he is a marginal coach at this stage of his career

that said Harris defensive play was as bad when you watch the replay. There’s no way Allen gets a good look at the basket with embiid there. Harris saved Allen from likely having to either take a bad shot or call a timeout. Harris had played enough with embiid to know don’t leave a shooter especially there’s no reason to help embiid.  

Same loser team.  Get rid of doc, trade Embiid for a haul

Doc is an idiot and should be fired. I’m doubting  they do it midseason cause they don’t want to pay him the money with the amount of time still on his contract and pay the new coach. That said i don’t think this roster is what it looks like after the trade deadline tbh. 

It really can't improve much considering the cap. 

Can trade Harris.  Not sure who you'd get. 

Can trade Thybulle, Furk, Shake for a role player.  Who Doc will need 18 months to figure out how to incorporate in to the rotation.  After which,  the team will need another 12 months to gel.

"Let's get it to Embiid for a 3. If he's not open we are going to screen for James. He's going to drive left and settle for a fade away layup from outside of the paint. Win on 3. 1-2-3 Win!"

I think Harris is gone. Imo It really just becomes a matter of when . I think they’d prefer the deadline if they could move him then and make a deal where they get something in return that helps in either making the roster better or clearing the space to then make the roster better. 

Looks the same. Another nice 50-55 win season, 3 or 4 seed, disappointing exit. Lousy coach.

I guess this happened.

Must have been mad he got boo'd.

Soft loser player 

biggest weakness on this team is still the lack of athletic wings.

Besides some of the other things you guys have talked about, i don’t see this starting lineup with Harris and tucker in it working out. I don’t think either can play the 3 well enough to make it work. Both are better playing the 4 which means one should be coming off the bench. Really not sure what you can do until the deadline when Harris becomes a somewhat valuable trade chip as he becomes an expiring contract at the end of the season and someone might want to take that on and then buy him out this offseason. 

also niang and house have been pretty useless offensively so far through 1.5 games. 

This is what it looks like to me as well. The front court looks slow and just plain bad. At least Tucker is fighting for rebounds. Harris looks lost out there. 

Kind of sad that were are 2 games into the season and the only thing to get excited about is free chicken nuggets. 

Right now we're getting mopey Joel.  We've seen this before and it's frustrating but it's part of the package.  When his energy goes up, the team will go on a streak.  It's as predictable as the tides.

The issue is you can have one out there about not both. the sixers really lack athleticism in their starting lineup. Harris and tucker aren’t super athletic guys. Solid to good players but we need an athletic 3-D wing. Which is highly coveted in the league. I actually would prefer they bring either Harris or tucker off the bench but they don’t really have a great option to start. Could start melton but he’s undersized and you’d be really small with basically 3 guards. Thybulle hasn’t been playing and can’t shoot. It’s a problem.

I think the writing is on the wall for Harris. It’s only a matter of when he’s moved and we will see what he brings back or the corresponding move is. They need to fire doc cause he’s a moron but as constructed i just think they aren’t as good as Boston or Milwaukee. Until both of these things occur they are likely the 3rd or 4th best team in the east.

It's the legit start of the season, why is he pouting already. 

trying to get glenn fired?   

Hes not in shape, apparently still due to the facial fracture he suffered in the 1st round of the playoffs

Quote

 

Joel Embiid collided with PJ Tucker while playing defense in the second quarter, and both went down in pain. Embiid got up holding his face, which is worrisome considering he suffered a facial fracture and a concussion in the playoffs.

Afterward, Embiid said he was OK, but he’s still working his way back from the original facial injury.

"I’m feeling OK,” said the big fella. "I’m still working my way back. I’ve had an on-and-off summer as far as really being able to do stuff on the basketball court, but I got four or five days to be ready and I’ll be ready.”
