But it wasnt nearly enough to overcome the fraud that he is with all other decisions involved in running the team. Im not concerned about replacing him at all.

Frankly nurse should be fired because 4 out of the 7 losses in the playoffs were by 30+ points. as a head coach should not be getting blown out by 30+ points in 4 playoff games. Add on game one of the entire playoffs you managed to get blown out by 30 and you also ran Maxey into the ground in the regular season by not distributing minutes for McCain properly which helped lead to the tradeThe one tiny argument for Nurse is that he has been given a shiddy hand from day 1 with this roster. Come for Embiid/Harden/Maxey and end up with just Maxey pretty much.Trade for George, then you dont have George either. Hyperextended knee. The roster never really came together. And thats mainly on Daryl.Since the FO is stupid, they must believe Nurse can do a better job with some stability. Now, how to get him that roster stability? No idea how and when thatll come.
May 13May 13 Theres also the possibility that they just feel bad about firing Nurse a few days after his brother died....

I think if they would’ve lost in five that he was also gone. But the fact that the team rallied and beat them, I think saved his job. I just wouldn’t have brought him back unless Bob Myers was all about bringing him back. I would’ve let him go and let Bob Myers pick his own head coach. Frankly, it bothers me when you lose in the playoffs by 30+ in nearly 40% of your playoff games. I get his roster construction wasn’t great, but there’s other teams with not great roster constructions not accumulating 4 30+ losses

For all we know ownership told him to get below the tax. Trading McCain was a choice, but not the only option he had to get below the tax. It as a poor choice. And bad value to make it even worse.

Its not as though its a shock when he is not on the court. Yet when he is out, the team often looks lost because their whole offense is out the window.That was abundantly clear last year when their supposed timeline included him missing the season opener because he was injured from playing in the olympics. Yet...they were completely unprepared for it even though it was supposed to be the plan all along.They havent gotten any better. I get that it is hard to be on again off again all the time. Is he playing, is he not. But they dont look like theres any plan.I think thats inexcusable. But, apparently the team says its excused.

I’ve felt this way for a while, whenever the sixers fire him, he’s going to get another 2 maybe even 3 jobs after that. Going to live off kawhi winning him a title like doc lived off the Celtics constructing that Allen, KG and Pierce with rondo roster and then is mediocre the rest of his career
May 13May 13 Rumor: considered a longshot of course, but a trade possibility for Embiid is Sacramento swapping embiid for Sabonis.
May 13May 13 I wonder if we will bring in a GM who is big on player development. And maybe dictates to the coach to play young guys.Feels like the 6ers are high on Dalen Terry. Consider that they paid a buyout to bring Cam Payne back to the league from overseas, and released him to sign Terry to a real contract.You'd think that indicates Terry is a guy they intend to keep around for a bit.I feel like him and Beauchamp are players who can help a team if allowed to grow in a role, similarly to Champagnie, and Haywood Highsmith.
May 13May 13 Will we do anything to sign Grimes, Oubre, or Drummond?Modest 2 year deals? Nothing? Longer for Grimes?

May 13May 13 Great! They fired Morey! Now just fire the coach, Embiid, George and YOURSELF and the 76ers are on the road to recovery!!
