Yup

Our guards are bad defenders to boot

That's why it's so hard to come back..... Can't get stops to go on a run 

Put embiid on the pacers and they win a title… 

 

Curry hasnt looked right the whole game

Make up call but i miss mcconnell on our team

Curry and Furk giving us nothing right now. Can’t do that with Embiid out. 

Furk has regressed to being almost as useless on offense as he is on defense

I think we also should have resigned TJ McConnell. 

He has developed into a solid backup PG..... Averaging 10.5 points while shooting 41% from 3 and was among the league leaders in steals last season. 

Yup 

Wow the lax defense. 5 guys standing around and watching TJ kill them. 

Probably the most infuriating game of the season so far.

 

 

man. That sounds brutal. Wish him the best. 

That definitely doesn’t sounds good.  Hopefully the description is worse than the illness.

Almost sounds like a slow growing lymphoma. If thats what it is his prognosis is relatively good at stage 1.

As for the team we missed matisse badly last night. Curry Kork and Green were all the same bad player last night and we got killed while any two of them were on the floor. Curry has to be hurt

I see a rumor on FB saying nuggs are open to trading Porter and Bol for Simmons. No idea of there's a legit source behind that.

Porter’s back is that bad, huh?

That's what I'm wondering. Maybe they don't want to deal with that...

But it's probably a fake rumor anyway.

Even when Embiid was sulking around earlier in the season and complaining about the new ball and whatever else we were still winning just because of his presence.  He makes everything easier for the whole team. 

We also need Thybulle's constant pokes and deflections.  He's the ultimate disruptor.

Yep, that’s why I’ve been saying if we need to include one of Kork and Thybulle in a trade, I’m keeping Matisse. Kork is too hot and colt. When he’s on he’s great, when he’s off he’s a detriment to have on the floor. Thybulle’s defense is consistent.

The coach needs to be smart enough to see that when Kork comes in jacking 3s and misses his first 2 or 3, he needs to play Joe instead for the rest of the game. The coach hasnt realized that yet. However, the shooting is needed. Kork and Joe are needed to flip flop with each other on any given night. Thybulle is a luxury that is not needed. Unfortunately he has never developed a single offensive skill. 

Shooting is just far more important in today's NBA. With all of our guys out recently, this team didnt still find ways to win because of a few Thybulle steals and blocks. They won because they were able to move the ball and shoot lights out.

Kind of disagree.....without Thybulle's defense (and Embid's for that matter), we have been a sieve.....you can have a ton of offense but if you have no defensive stoppers, well, you have the Toronto, Indiana, Milwaukee and New York games.  And offense goes hot and cold, defense can always be there with effort.
