Well does it count that Maxey shouldn’t be a bench player?   Does that make it better?

Not really lol I think they have a legit six starters on this roster. The problem is after those top six I don’t think the rest of the bench guys you can go one starter with four bench guys and have sustained success. That continues to show up. Especially when niang, shake, Harrell, Paul have been terrible tonight

God rivers sucks as a coach

If the Sixers wind up losing this game, they lost it in the first quarter when doc decided to do the all bench units that allowed for an immediate 11-0 run. And then didn’t bring embiid back until it was a one point game near 8 mins left in the second.  When the Knicks are on that type of run, you need to seize the momentum back. Not wait until you want to substitute your guy back in on a schedule and the Knicks got momentum 

also, Evan Fournier could be terrible for like 10 games. He plays the Sixers he hits like 5 to 8 threes every Fing time.

Our effort tonight stinks. Rebounding ans defense suck. They thought they had it won.

 

Doc Rivers is the best coach in the city. By Far. They have the best record in the NBA since the second week of the season and their top 5 players all missed multiple games. Their top 3 missing several weeks each. He's a low hanging fruit people like to pile on.

The bench players need to start producing, that's on them for not producing. They're professional players. They need to play better. If I were Rivers I'd play the all bench lineup every single game out of spite until they figure it out and if they don't, so be it. Trial by fire is the most effective way to learn in life.

Terrible take.   Torts, Thomson and NS are all better coaches/managers.   

Nah, not even close. You’re only saying that because he’s black.

That team is a disgrace for losing that game.  And BTW, I hope you’re not counting PJ as a "starter”.  Even though tonight was one of his most explosive offensive games of the year.   

For what they ask him for in the playoffs they need him to be. Just play defense and hope he hit 1-2 corner threes. Basically what he’s been his career.

they’ve tried the all bench unit for 3 years. It’s hurt them way more than it’s worked. Again definition of insanity. 

Fire rivers for the love of god its the gms biggest failure

brett brown has gotten as far as doc and he had to help develop all those guys inside a losing type culture besides butler and jj. Brown didn’t have the embiid we are seeing today either. Embiid matured and had become an mvp type player. Credit doc some of that but i think it’s embiid finally mature and got himself into the best shape

Wouldn't consider myself much of an audiophile. Most of those that I know are big into music and have dedicated listening rooms. I just enjoy having decent sound for movies. Have a 5.1.2 config in the family room, polk owm5's for fronts and center, owm3's for heights, and in-wall rc65's for rears. Klipsch 12" down-firing sub next to the media cabinet with a Yamaha AVR.

That’s great.  I’m running 7.4.4 with power sound audio mt210’s across the front, hsu 15” subs x4, and some overmatched klipsch thx in walls and in ceilings for the 8 surround and height speakers, all powered by marantz separates.

For the reasons you said, I’ve probably never unlocked the system since all I really do is stream.  I should probably be listening to some more blu ray.  I’ve been happy with the steaming movies, but it could probably be better.

I’m not exactly known for race baiting in fact, all I’ve ever done was mock it and those who do it, I thought it was pretty obvious it was a joke.

We’re you trolling when you said Doc was the best coach in Philly as well?   Because it’s hard to know what’s a joke and what’s real after someone posts something that odd.  

Half trolling. He gets way too much hate in this town and people like to pile on him because it's trendy to do, so I like to use hyperbole to defend Rivers when people trash Rivers unfairly.

Rivers is a good coach. He isn't a great coach, but he's good, and people think he sucks which is ridiculous. There are legit criticisms for him, but it's the same nonsense we saw with Gannon. Rivers becoming the man to blame has become a narrative so people pile on the easy target. The NBA more than any other league is won and lost with your stars and when your best player constantly comes up small in the playoffs or is injury prone, he doesn't get nearly as much of the blame because he's beloved by the fans. If you were to rank the reasons this team hasn't won a title, Joel Embiid coming up small in the playoffs ranks ahead of Doc Rivers.
