BB Paul looked like an all star tonight. How Doc hasn’t been playing him over Jordan and Millsap is completely dumbfounding.

Bball Paul had an awesome performance. He and Milton scored 55 points. Kormaz and Joe chipped in another 17. 72 points from the bench.

A bench that was missing, Niang who has been one of the best bench players we have.

All season we thought our bench still sucks. 

What we have been reminded of is, these guys can play when given the opportunity. 

When you have enough stars to keep 2 on the court at all times, the opportunities for the bench players decrease dramatically, as they tend to defer. When these guys have a green light and feel unencumbered by the stars alongside them, they can do quite alright.

Most of this season it was very easy to forget the many amazing bench player performances we saw early on that lead our team to wins while incredibly short handed dealing with Simmons holding out, covid cases, and injuries. 

Once the team became "full strength" the bench and other role players began to look like trash. Tonight was a very interesting reminder of how well these guys can play when they play great team ball, and play free.

Too many "stars" here. The pendulum already began to swing back the opposite way last season. We need to get off of that idea of roster building and get on the leading edge of the curve. Process took too long and by the time this team wanted to compete, it was nearly too late. We ended up with few opportunities and squandered each of them.

 Depth and team ball are how you win in today's NBA and in the near future. If we are one of the earlier teams to recognize that, we will have more opportunities at a championship.

Doc got extremely defensive about DAJ in his pressser when asked about Reed’s performance 🤣

Doc is a freaking moron who only has a job because he was given a freaking stacked team over a decade ago and they won a championship.

True. Then quit you should quit.

The short version of my post is that Paul Reed, and Shake Milton wouldnt have had nearly the same performance if Embiid and Harden had played. 

Team needs to find the right balance of star power, and letting the role players play an actual meaningful role that they can shine in.

 

 

wow....

The funniest thing about it is that he got the first dose but still can’t play in the games in Toronto.

If they can’t beat Toronto then they were going nowhere anyway.

I hope the Celtics have fun playing the Nets.

That's hilarious that the Cs will likely get the Nets.  Let them have fun with each other.  Talk about a series where you wish both teams could lose.

I don’t see the Nets losing to the Cavs but who knows

Yeah...

The whole Fing thing is a joke. 

The vaccine doesn't prevent infection or spread. 

He's already had Covid so he has antibodies. 

What difference does it make? 

It’s an unfair advantage that no other team gets. Every team should be playing by the rules but only one has different rules.The NBA should be threatening to move Toronto’s home games elsewhere.

F thybulle.

 

 

and F glenn...

can't fire that condescending, arrogant dbag quickly enough. 

 

There’s nothing else to it. Anything short of a finals appearance snd Doc is gone 

Feels like everyone on the planet can now see that Reed is a better option than either Jordan or Milsap, other than Glenn. Dude is stubborn as a Fing mule.

If that were true, and hope it is, Doc only has another week with the Sixers.

He’s making a quality ass of himself in short order on this one.  Basically undermined Reed’s performance in public, and at a personal level, in the name of proving his strategy.

I believe he's had covid 3 times now. He got it twice in 6 weeks earlier this year.

JFC.  What a moron.  I wonder if the philly media will have the same energy they did when they killed Wentz for the same thing over a year ago.

He caught it twice in less than 2 months (delta then omicron). So obviously the antibodies don't do much of anything from one strain to the next.

Jesus.  Just saw the entire comments about Reed.  Glen get's doushier as he goes along.  What an a-hole.  Holy F.  

 

I'd be fine if he was fired now and Sam Cassel took over for the playoffs.
