It’s over 

Bench is killing them…4/21 shooting

We need a coach that stresses defense. This team every year plays no defense 

Mike D’Antoni isn’t going to help that 

It's a basketball play

Hyland and the Cam Thomas for Nets were 2 and 1 pick before Sixers this year.  

Brutal loss

my man niang gotta kick that out for a 3...damn.

This team isn’t going anywhere.  The bench is horrific.

I’ve been a Doc Rivers defender but this coaching is getting ridiculous.

Doc is gonna be gone after this year. There’s nothing anymore 

Seriously. The term "phoning it in” comes to mind. 

Wonder if Jokic locked up the MVP tonight as well

You shouldn't been a defender. It's who he is

15 games to integrate Reed, Joe, and even a bit of Bassey or might not make it out of round one. 

What was that possible Kings deal, BTW?

Embiid destroyed Jokic head to head when on the court together

jokic was -9 for the game.

It's Most Valuable Player, not who scores more. Coming from 19 down vs Harden and Embiid. Same record, with a worst team.

Meh. Thought Embiid clearly out played him. Doubt it has much bearing on the MVP race either way. 

 

 

I got to see Kelce sing live. That is awesome.

This is an understatement. Niang is the only one that is somewhat consistent nightly. Frankly he should be your 7th man or 8th. Green at this stage really should just be your 8th-9th man. Everyone else is just bad or super inconsistent. They need a better 6th man. I’d argue they also could use a better starting wing. 

I believe in the offseason morey has another shoe to drop to put the guys he wants around harden, maxey and embiid. I’m of the belief harris and possibly thybulle are gonna be moved. after the trade i didn’t think this team as constructed was able to beat teams like the bucks, nets (when healthy), suns or warriors. They were better off then they were prior. I dont think more time is going to make Harris a better catch and shoot option. In theory he’s great as your 3rd or 4th option but i don’t think he’s the ideal fit with harden, embiid and maxey  

it doesn’t help that doc is not a good coach. I really hope he isn’t back next year cause it is not going to get better.

Yep. Few of us said it. Take that deal and sign Harden this summer. 

A couple of things about last night.....1) the refs absolutely were horrible and took so many momentum shifting plays away from the Sixers it was pathetic 2) of course Hyland gets possessed by Seth Curry! 3) our bench sucks 4) I'd be happy if we can hold on to/end up in the 3rd slot in the conference (like if everything ended the way it stands today) and we get to play Cleveland in the first round not only avoiding the Nets but the Celtics 5) the team needs some athletes....every team we play has like 4 or 5 6'6" guys that seem to be able to run, dunk and shoot....we have like none!

the bench shot 4-24 and got outscored 48-14

Sad!

Reed really need to get some minutes in favor of Niang. And as much as everyone hates Shake, they need him to get out of his funk. He could be a passable bench piece.

And many of those shots were wide open.  It was so frustrating.

Need to play Joe and Reed to see what they have but he never played Maxey consistent minutes last year either.
