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

[danielnajdek]

This guy is playing like he's LeBron. Also Cov needs to hit these wide open 3's. That's what he gets paid for.

 

[danielnajdek]

Seem to always lose to not so good teams.

 

[danielnajdek]

Ok interesting now. Inb4 they hit a buzzer beater for the win.

 

[danielnajdek]

I have no idea how we won that but we'll take it. Was fully expecting the Bulls to win that on the buzzer.

Clutch free throws from Ben. He and Joel had huge games.

 

[Drummer_19]

Got away with one, but I think we'll all take it. Ben & JoJo really just won it by themselves.

 

[danielnajdek]

Give him a couple of years.

Stage 1. Get to the rim....complete

Stage 2. Jumpshot...undwerway

 

[danielnajdek]

This guy. Lol. Always hating on Phily teams.

 

[Drummer_19]

No one the Magic has much hope of guarding Embiid lol.

 

[danielnajdek]

I woke up to watch the game. Was getting a bit nervous in that last quarter when all the starters were benched and they were coming back. Nice to hold on and give some rest to the starters for tomorrows game.

 

[Drummer_19]

I wonder who we'll cut, really don't like the idea of cutting any of TLC/Korkmaz/Anderson. Booker makes the most sense.

 

[dmac_55]

Ersan is coming home!!! Booker has no value with his lane clogging while embiid is on the court.. Ersan can stretch floor and let Jo feast even more on second units..

Booker is the logical choice..

 

[Warsaw]

Gotta wonder how much longer Colangelo is going to spend reversing his own decisions. His inefficiency is borderline offensive to how Hinkie ran things, and it's down right bizarre to see people praising him for simply claiming players off the waivers.

Booker being cut would be the funnier outcome, but his output is marginally the same as Amir's, albeit you don't get that third backup C option. Any other player being cut would be ridiculous.

 

[Warsaw]

This is easily the most important development of the day.

Bryan did say his range was only in the paint a few weeks ago, maybe that's extended to the mid-range now? If so, then you gotta start playing him and soon. I doubt he's still injury affected, and I'll take whatever hit comes on the long-range game to at least get another playmaker off the bench in there.

 

[Drummer_19]

The only problem with all these shootaround videos that have been coming out is that all the shots are spinning jumpers, we havn't seen any set shots in any of these drills which has been pretty weird. But the last 2 weeks there's been an obvious push back in the distance he's been shooting from which is nice.

 

[Warsaw]

I don't have the links on tap, but there were some okay looking pull-ups at the start of the year. And in the couple of shots he did take in the league, the pullups resembled what he did in UW the most.

It felt like when he had to think about a shot was where he just fell to pieces, so the fact that he is hitting these fadeaways seems encouraging. You'd want to see him with catch and shoots though for sure. But either way, I kinda just want to see him there or at least be told that he won't play this season.

 

[danielnajdek]

Looks like this game is going to be a struggle. Can't make any shots atm.

 

[danielnajdek]

Of course Oubre is going to make every 3. Lol.

I expected tonight to go like this.

No biggie, they've been great lately and they played last night.

Ilyasova is coming back so they strengthens up our bench again... I'd really like to see the back of Redick at the end of this season.

I'm happy how they fought til the end. At least they didn't pack it in and lose by 30.

 

[Drummer_19]

I feel like every time I record the game and go out to do some stuff they get smoked. Not a surprising result, 2nd night of a back to back on the road with nothing going in. Was following scores and it's nice they kept trying to make a run instead of losing by 30+ which is what would have happened the last few years.

Dario looking great at the moment. Easing back into the lead.

Yep agreed 100%. Didn't expect the win back-to-back road nights against a strong Wiz team, and they persisted and pushed them until the end which was good.

 

[samFFC]

March sees 3 games against Hornets, 2 against Nets, Knicks, 1 against Magic, Grizzlies and Hawks. Would expect at least 8 wins amongst that lot.

So if we roughly split the games against playoff bound/challenging teams (7 games in March, starting with tonight's) we should set ourselves up nicely heading into April.

 

[danielnajdek]

Refs about to get Miami the win here.

 

[danielnajdek]

JJ gets hit and no call from the ref. They have been horrible since the other ref had to leave the game.
