The Philadelphia Experiment - ...And Live With The Consequences

[Drummer_19]

Gonna lose tomorrow as well up in Toronto with no JoJo, really had to win today. Refs were ass but our rebounding has been awful both games.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Try not to get too pissed off with early season losses but watching Larkin and Rozier nailing 3's in the second half did it for me.

Awful today.

 

[Drummer_19]

Think they might have to bite the bullet soon and start Fultz. Think the starting line up is really lacking a 2nd creator as neither Bayless nor JJ can do it and also not really liking the 2nd unit back court pairing with TJ/Fultz (think TJ/Bayless makes more sense since TJ needs to be ball dominant do be successful and Bayless' deficiencies are less apparent in this setting) and also I think even as a guy who's played 2 games he projects to be a better perimiter defender almost immediately over Bayless as we're allowing to much penetration and good looks.

I think they're going to be hesitant to do it tho because of whatever is going on with Markelle and his shoulder/shot/yips or whatever the **** is going on that he's reluctant to shoot 3's or play anything like the guy he was at UW.

Also, can we get more pnr with Embiid diving hard to the rim? He's popping to the top of the key far too much and then missing or shot fake/driving leading to nothing, they've had some nice success when he rolls hard.

So undisciplined and careless when defending but wow there have been some dubious calls against us as usual.

I would like to think of embiid as th 2nd creator, but they definitely need the outside shooting of bayless, redick and cov. Surrounding the 2 stars...
I’m a bit concerned with chemistry between jojo and Ben.. and I think that is evident on defense

Having a shocker today. Only positive is Ben hitting 2 jumpers.

 

[Drummer_19]

Pretty done with r/Sixers, it's absolutely insufferable. I havn't watched any of today's game because I had other shit to do but this was like the most obvious schedule blowout loss ever. 3rd game in 4 nights, 2nd night of a back2back on the road against a 50+ win team without JoJo. The team isn't going to click until Dec/Jan.

 

[Drummer_19]

Also, please get well soon Richaun.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Jarryd Bayless plays basketball like he's a first year rookie with the shots he takes.

Toronto did really well with their screens on JJ and Covington/Saric did **** all.

Simmons was good, Jah was pretty good aswell despite his fouling on D. I don't know what's up with this team on D, they are putting teams to the penalty far too quickly this season. I swear we're giving up far too many points at the line, Derozen had about 12 in the first damn quarter!

Fultz is so tentative, he looks like a kid out there.

Amir Johnson needs to get the **** off the floor too. If that guy wants to coach, then coach from the defence, because the guy isn't giving us anything. I can't believe BB gave this fool the start over Jah today.

The team needs to fix up their defence and foul LESS before they can start winning games.

 

[Drummer_19]

What were Bens 3 point attempts like today? Box score shows he had 2, def not going to watch that dumpster fire of a game just to see.

On Amir, I don't mind him, but he shouldn't be playing vs starters. Neither should Jah, this is where the Richaun Injury really hurts.

I'm not sure what's going on there.. I can't recall him taking any. Think they must have been buzzer beaters. He did take 2 pull up mid range jumpers though.

It could just be the nba.com boxscore is being dumb and wrong. Seems like they've had some issues with the new tracking software they've been using since pre-season.

One was an end of quarter heave from half court. Don't remember a second one.

He didn't take any legit shots from 3 anyway.

 

[dmac_55]

The process has finally gotten on track! Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid we have 2 franchise players. How lucky we are fingers crossed health with these 2, get some shooters and athletes around these guys and we good..

Cannot believe Markelle has been better on D than offence so far.. Crazy the panic meter is up right now.. At least he can make an entry pass into JoJo.. get well soon markelle and keep working your damn but off on D

 

[Drummer_19]

Glad they got this win today so people can just relax a little bit, especially since next game could be rough too if Houston gets hot.

Team played with much more control and purpose today, JoJo wasn't doing any wild shit and Ben just keeps on keeping on. Really gotta find a way to minimise the damage on the defensive end when Embiid sits tho.

Ben looks like such a vet out there.. makes good decisions all the time and just plays like someone who has been running an offence for 5 years.. crazy it's only been 4 games

 

[Warsaw]

Wild to me that Hinkie left a legacy of Embiid, Simmons & Covington and Colangelo's probably wiping the sweat from his brow, inside his collar cause he's sunken so deep inside.

Hope Fultz joins the party soon. I actively want to hunt and kill the person who got him to change his shot.

 

[Dignan]

Have heard conflicting things about Fultz' shoulder, now sending him to see a specialist supposedly.

If it's really not right, just sit him for a while.

Fingers crossed once it's 100% he comes back and looks more like Washington Fultz...

Or maybe it is fine. Paradoxically, that would be a bigger problem.

 

[Drummer_19]

None of this whole thing makes any sense, what a shit show.

Ownership is a disgrace.. we are so inept at relaying anything to the media in a way that is rational.. why the **** would an agent tell woj something than backtrack on that? BC called the agent and told him to change his statement and no one has any clue what is happening and what is real and what is BC, Scott O'Neil (PR manager) and ownership..

You bought the team for 270 million and it's worth a billion plus.. time to sell so you can buy more property in NY and **** off..

Scott O'Neil can **** off too..

 

[Warsaw]

I mean Harris and Co. balked at their own convictions, but they’re not in the frame of people to blame here. They stay away until the ‘optics’ look bad, and fortunately there’s enough good things with Embiid & Simmons to not let the Fultz stuff be the main story.

I’ll save my wrath here for Colangelo, and/or the medical team, and/or Fultz’s agent, and/or whoever spent the summer in the gym with Fultz and/or/maybe Fultz himself.

Objectively, Colangelo has handled injuries worse than Sam. From Simmons` foot, to Embiid over the summer to Okafor last summer to Fultz now. Hard to **** up this much and still keep your job.

 

[Warsaw]

Shut down for 3 games. Colangelo suggests that he might have tinkered with his shot leading to the shoulder soreness.

Lol.

 

[Drummer_19]

Seems like snake man was throwing out deflections left, right and center today.

 

[danielnajdek]

Should never have lost that. Disappointing.

 

[IronMike]

I was convinced Keith Williams changed his shot, but now I'm confused even more.

Sounds like Fultz's camp ain't happy BC and Brown have thrown him under the bus. What a shit show.
