Just wanted to come on here to ask a question/try and understand the purpose of saying we are fraudulent. Not even a week ago we were able to beat a full force Celtic team and for the most part we were controlling the game. Then we have a back to back game with missing pieces from our bench/significant scorers (Oubre and Batum) Also just an Embiid stinker where he looked sluggish and out of it, Nurse also decided to have Pat Bev and Morris on the floor at the same time combined they went 0/7. How does this mean we aren’t able to beat the Celtics consistently. If Embiid plays somewhat competent and Nurse puts out better rotations that game we win. I also get the perspective that they were missing two starters but shit happens. I seriously see this team as a contender that competes with the big teams. Regardless just wanted some answers/opinions on this matter.
We are NOT frauds just to be clear. Sixers are a very good team… but we could use some improving. I really like Oubre and melton, but I don’t believe they are starters on a championship team. They would be phenomenal off the bench. Unfortunately I think batum will regress. He’s been playing well which is great! I hope I’m wrong and he stays playing well.
Nick Nurse has the team playing extremely well but I don’t love his rotations. It’s not all his fault, roster has flaws. Beverly should basically never see the court. Why we picked him up, I have no idea. Springer should take all of Beverly minutes. Every one. Same goes for Morris. He should never see the court. Danuel House should never see the court. I’m still hoping to see Paul Reed at the 4. And KJ should play more.
The good news is Morey has assetts to improve one of melton or Oubre. If just one of them goes to the bench everything falls into place
