November 16, 2024Nov 16 When Maxey comes back they need to just roll with a Maxey-McCain-George-Martin-Embiid starting lineup. But let the two guards dictate the offense. PG can just be a 3 and D guy, and just primarily have Embiid look for rebounds and generally play near the rim. They cannot run the offense through him anymore.

November 18, 2024Nov 18 This trade deadline (if we are still really sucking) or by next off season latest, it’s time to trade him.

November 19, 2024Nov 19 A bunch of vets standing around counting on a rookie to try to save their sorry asses.

November 19, 2024Nov 19 What’s the sense on Embiid? Still playing back into shape, hurt, or is there genuine concern he’s on the wrong side of a cliff?

He has been playing back into shape his whole career. Anyways it is possible he is dealing with all 3 just hasn't come to grips with the 3rd

I guess George has 18 points, but doesn’t feel like it. 18 points on 5 of 13 shooting, 1-7 from 3. Not what you brought him in for. I wonder if this team is trying to showcase Dowtin for a trade? I see no reason to play him 15 minutes (and counting). I know its a Nick Nurse man crush but.... its ridiculous. And Council is stuck on the bench when this guy and Gordon, and Lowry keep eating up big minutes.

I think there should and shouldnt be genuine concern. One one hand, we havent seen him bounce back from his knee injury last year. So maybe he never reaches the level we saw of him earlier last season. At the same time, he and Paul George both said they would be playing a complementary role to Maxey this year so we dont need elite Embiid. We just need a rebounder and shot blocker who scores on put backs. Sadly, we arent getting that. But that may be more due to his stubbornness of never wanting to play that way to begin with. This team could be quite alright if Maxey comes back and continues averaging around 30, and McCain around 25 which he seems capable of. While George plays an improved version of the Tobi role, and Embiid just rebounds and defends the low post. Will they ever do that? Who knows...
November 19, 2024Nov 19 I’d say it’s pretty telling that Embiid was still on the floor with less than two minutes left when they’re getting blown out.
November 19, 2024Nov 19 What I find concerning is that everyone, myself included, is still assuming they are going to go on a torrid stretch with everyone optimized…partly facilitated by a do or die backs against the wall approach in December/January when the rest of the NBA doesn’t really give a F in the meaningless regular season. But if Embiid is already back and they can’t buy a win…I can’t fathom this is just who they are…
November 19, 2024Nov 19 Now that the game is final 19 minutes for Dowtin 14 for Gordon 19 for Lowry Thats a lot of misused minutes. Yabusele only played 10. He should be gaining, not losing minutes. Council played 8 garbage time minutes.
