I feel like every games we get many possessions in a row where Pascal and Scottie barely get the ball, and all we get is a bunch of crappy plays from our crappy role players

I get the whole “move the ball” thing, but if it’s just for Boucher to jack up some random 3, what’s the point?

Anybody else feel the same?

    I just love when things run through Scottie. You can feel it: there’s more flow, more energy, more space.

    Its hard to get chemistry if the lines and players minutes are always changing

    It looks great on paper, to switch it up all the time, but they need to get used to playing with each other as well.

    Not sure I see a great plan going forward, why didnt spicy p play the 2nd… like what does that prove. He gets his 4th, shut him down easy. And then the missed time out with barnes getting cold on the side lines. Benching your second best player for a whole quater. Lol

    Dumb fucinnplays. Darkos team not so sharp after all

    I kinda want to see what it looks like if Scottie attacks the rim / creates something every time he touches the ball. If he can have any sort of consistent success doing so we would really have something to build off of. Too often he’s just handing it off, I want more!

    Scottie is 19th in touches per game (above Embiid, Mitchell, dame, KD). Siakam is about 45th.

    Scottie is 9th in front court touches, pascal is 14th.

    Their time of possession is relatively low, but they’re definitely not getting iced out. It’s up to the players to be intentional in this kind of scheme

    I just think Dennis shouldn’t be running the offense for a single possession down the stretch. It should be Scottie or Siakam, preferably Scottie as he’s the better passer.

      Disagree with this because Dennis is actually capable of getting to the rim and drawing defenders in. I’m fine with him running the offence but Scottie or Pascal should be the ones putting up the shots when it matters

        You say that like Pascal and Scottie can’t get to the rim just as easily. This is horrible reasoning to argue that Dennis should be running offense down the stretch. He showed last night that he isn’t gonna make the right decisions, like how Siakam didn’t get the ball once. Siakam and Scottie can initiate offense while also scoring. How do you think any primary ball handler scores 20+ while also averaging 5 or more assists.
