Doc said he wants rebounding, and playmaking at the deadline.  He elaborated on playmaking pretty much meaning guys who can get their own shot when playoff defense makes it hard to run your offense.

It's a stepping stone to a Harden deal this summer. That seems to be Morey's end game. 

 

His end game is to land a star to pair with Embiid.  I don't think he can make that anymore clear.  Still don't know why Kings would want to pair Simmons with Fox.  Spacing nightmare and both need the ball in their hands to be successful.

It's possible Fox goes to a third team.

His 3 point percentage is so bad and he doesn't hit FT's at a great rate either.  I do not see him becoming an average shooter.

The NBA average is 77.3% this year and he shoots it at 74.4 % so he is an average shooter from the stripe.

I don't think Ben needs to be a ball dominate guard to be successful. We have never see a coach use him enough off ball as a screener and cutter either. 

He could have been a better version of Draymond Green but didn't have the right pieces to make that happen. Sixer organization just continued to think Ben and Joel would work when he was clear for years it wasn't fitting

This is a career year for him for FT's.  Usually he is in the low .700's.  And his 3 point % is .248 and .314 for his career.  He is not a shooter.

I think Morey wants Fox. That's probably what it takes to get the deal done. 

Then he can trade Fox, 18M expiring Barnes contract and a boatload of picks in the summer for harden.

6 attempts a game is enough for me to say he is an average FT shooter this year.

Fox will always probably always be 30-34% 3p shooter but as long as he has that quick first step that is okay. Just need to make the defender respect the shot. 

I firmly believe that the Kings killed his motivation, he showed up to camp out of shape, and he didn't put in the necessary work this offseason. Still to me his numbers last year is more of what the Sixers should expect. 

Kings play the Sixers on the 29th.... Seems like a good time get those guys in the same room to get a deal done 

How the F are we down?

They have 1 great player. 2 decent players and that’s it.  Morey has failed this team so badly.  Look at their bench.  

Horrible loss.  First game I was able to watch in a while.  Didn't see it live but got up and watched the full replay.  No business losing that game.

What an arrogant d bag.   Zero accountability.  "Pop” won 5 titles.  And even still, he wouldn’t be above reproach.  Both be and Morey are collecting their big salaries off of past successes.  Much like Joe Girardi.

"I've earned that"

He doesn't realize he's earned that question. 

I hope they ask him that after every loss now. Till it sinks in for him.

Amazing he has players on his team who deflect blame and refuse to accept responsibility.   Nice to know it stinks from the head up.  

🤣

Not the first time that ass thought he was above criticism.

Funny how the Clippers had all these issues in the locker room while he was there and then they resigned the so called problem players and fired Rivers. Haven't heard a peep since. Rivers is a fraud

He preaches to the fans and now the media.  He’s an arrogant windbag.  And not a very good coach.  He can go anytime now.  

Look how aggressive the Titans defense plays.  Not just scheme.  But every tackle is a thump.  Punching out the ball, wrapping up, tons of energy.   Such a stark contrast from our soft ass team the past few seasons.

Lue, Clippers coach, is better but choose Doc over him. 

 

Brian Windhorst on Dejounte Murray: There’s been some chatter in the league about whether the Spurs would be willing to trade him. Maybe not during the season but next summer.

What do we make of this Charlie Brown guy? Crazy how quickly he went from not being on the roster, to forcing the team to cut Aaron Henry and earning a 2 way contract, to consistently getting minutes in the 76ers rotation. I know Thybulle is out, but they spent a 1st round pick on a guard who can defend. They like CB's defense so much they are playing  him over their 1st round pick.

Is it the hair that gives this kid the aura and makes you feel he may be something? Is he the next Covington that the 6ers discovered out of obscurity?
