I wish Ben could’ve gotten Doc fired as easily as he got Nash fired.

What would Ben get in a trade right now?  Do you think they'd take a 2nd just so we could get him back and sit him on the bench for fans to boo every night?

Pieces for a team like the Jazz or Spurs. Go play where no one cares

Ume is known as a tough coach but a good defensive mind. If he can't make Ben good this year, then it is really over for him. 

He was an assistant with Brown and coached Ben then. 

Team just cant seem to make stops when they are trying to fight for a lead. 

Maxey gets hot in the 3rd, and we can only tie. Cant ever take a lead. No D.

Lost to the Wizards. Fire Doc and Morey.

Cabs have passed the Sixers, their starting 5 is good good. 

glenn was using lineups with niang at center...i'm absolutely shocked it didn't work. 

 

Will be interesting if he can keep his diet in check. Odds aren't in his favor

Its funny because when he limped in to the locker room during last nights game around halftime, the announcers were talking about him taking a knee to the thigh in the 1st quarter.

Not even close.

 

Also, this sounds like a sneaky way of saying turf toe. No one really strains foot tendons otherwise. Turf toe is usually an injury to the ligament of the big toe, but he could have injured the flexor hallicus muscle too. Or, they are referring to the plantar fascia as a tendon, and he has plantar fasciitis.

In either event, expect Harden to look slower when he returns.

 

Harden's injury likely saves Doc's job. The excuses are now built in. 

maxey bout to put up some numbers & make the all-star game.

Always excuses.

Already said in another thread-

Embiid missed a few already. 

Harden to miss a month.  That takes us in to December. 

All star break.

Then trade deadline. And buyouts.

Next thing you know it's February and the roster has recently undergone change.

Now you're at the playoffs and they're telling you after their 1st or 2nd round exit that they never had much of a chance to play together.  Wait till next year!

Took him 2 yrs to get over a pulled hammy .. this could be another 3-4 yrs

Yeah. We are screwed with him and Embiid as our big money players for the next few years.

Hammies are tough to get over so that is understandable but this he should be fine

Theyve needed to play their best players a lot because theyve been losing so those players need to be on the court more to try to come back and in the games. 

Hard to blame him for playing the top guys. Imagine trailing, and giving those guys even less minutes. It would look like they conceded those games.

However, it is still certainly his fault. This team shouldnt suck as bad as it does. Theyre unathletic, but theyre talented enough to beat the Suprs and Wizards, which they failed to do.

Its also Morey's fault for constructing an old, slow, injury prone roster. The more big moves he has made, the further theyve gone from being competitors. 

Or maybe don't play the starters for basically the whole quarter and stagger the rotations better. Apparently the bench is supposed to be an improvement on last year, yet they barely see the court and you're overworking guys early in the regular season resulting in them already breaking down and looking sluggish vs fresher competition 

 

Good thing we upgraded the bench!

This team is 5th seed at best with everyone healthy and Doc as the coach 

Nice that without Embiid and Harden, we will see Maxey really shine as The Guy. And Harris has an opportunity to showcase his scoring ability in a game where he really has to look to score all game long. Could maybe help us at the trade deadline. Maxey is off to a good start with 9 points. Harris is off to a really great start with 7, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists and a steal already.
