The Philadelphia Experiment - Maxey Better Sadly

[danielnajdek]

God we suck.

 

[danielnajdek]

Covington 1-10 from 3.

 

[danielnajdek]

Lol Bayless how you drop that.

 

[danielnajdek]

This is gonna be a embarrassing loss.

 

[Drummer_19]

This is gonna be a embarrassing loss.

Is it embarrassing if it's expected? It's gotten to that point, even up 16 you knew it would be close at the end.

 

[Willo_]

Yeah shite ..

I'm watching at work, went to do something at 3/4 time, come back and we are down!! Wtf happened that first couple of mins??

 

[danielnajdek]

Covington has been trash. 1-11 dude.

 

[danielnajdek]

Now he decides to make one when the game is finished.

Also where's the foul for Ben? Oh that's right he never gets fouled.

 

[Willo_]

ugh anyone else think we look out of confidence as well, the moment a team gets a run all the heads drop and we go to water

 

[Drummer_19]

It's hard to see much changing when we don't have any guards who can create their own shots consistently or get to the line. It causes us to have too much of a reliance on the 3 ball and go through those cold stretches and kills our defense too.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

I'm fine with that not being an assist.

The NBA changed it today and gave the assist to Ben, he now has 4 triple doubles tied with Jason Kidd the most in the last 23 years by a rookie and has done it in only 28 games.

Yeah I saw that, it's kind of a weird one, I think it's fine if they had have kept it as not an assist as Bayless basically creates the shot himself with the shot fake, dribble and relocate. But whatever.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

He did everything to avoid shooting today, even Brown was stumped.

 

[samFFC]

Shoot <30% from beyond the arc, turn the ball over 20 times = guaranteed loss, even against Sacramento. Good grief where has the spark gone with the team? Even guys like TLC and Holmes that were providing heaps of energy in first 10-20 games have really fallen off in recent games, including tonight. With Joel out we needed all hands on deck, and then with Redick going down it became even more important.

Very true and a major issue. Either RoCo/Redick are hitting threes, or Embiid is putting up 30+ in the post, or we struggle to be productive for four quarters.

And it's not as if bringing back Embiid, Fultz etc. will change that unfortunately.

 

[dmac_55]

Embiid is out for the next 2 games as well.. the one highlight of the night was him talking to the ref during a break and said it’s my back but I’ll be fine!

Hopefully nothing to serious

 

[Shiv]

When booker and holmes are on the court with simmons we have no spacing at all. Rather have saric/simmons front court only.

 

[danielnajdek]

I love JoJo but geez he is injured a lot.

 

[RookiePick]

So...the wheels are officially off in Philly?

 

[Drummer_19]

No Redick today lol, everyone's favourite man with no hair and a headband is getting the start in his place. I'm pretty sure we have no guards left now.

I think I might go for a run at about 11.10am.

 

[Drummer_19]

So apparently JoJo is likely to play today?

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Up by 22, took a quick phone call and 5 minutes later a 20-2 run Raptors

Yep. Lol. Knew it was coming as well which is the sad part.

 

[danielnajdek]

If you can't take a rebound 2 times in a row and let them have more chances at scoring you're not gonna win a game of basketball.

 

[danielnajdek]

Another lead choked away. Refs were shit in that last quarter. One sided. Ben gets called for a charge. Lol. Get off it ref.
