I don’t know man I am so chill about these losses
Might get downvoted for this but fuck it
JB is the type of player who can’t contribute shit when he doesn’t get going offensively. He can’t dribble, can’t pass and has the most defensive lapses compared to our starters. When he gets fouled it’s a fucking guarantee it’s going to be 1/2 with his poor FT SHOOTING.
If Tatum, White or even Holiday has some shooting slump AT LEAST they can contribute by passing, making plays, grit defense, etc.
JB so far has been the damn weakest link out there IMO
Okay I agree with the idea that he isnt contributing shit when he isn’t scoring, but I do think he’s fully capable of contributing
I will die on the hill that when jaylen is fully engaged(we all know what that looks like let’s be honest with ourselves) he is a really good defender, especially on the ball and point of attack
Also, his passing has been pretty damn good this year, that’s an area he’s shown a lot of growth
I will say I think a lot of his scoring struggles are due to his shot diet, it looks lazy. Lot of contested spot up 3s, too much dribbling around less simple attacks on the basket drawing fouls
He needs to get back to what made him a great scorer and stop trying to be James harden out there and dribble dribble iso shoot
He literally had a great defensive game against both Knicks and Nets. He should’ve had 5-6 assists in those if Hauser or PP hit their shots. Are we ignoring that part?
I’m still not happy with the loss, but I’ll say this:
This Sixers team is perfectly built for Nick Nurse’s system. And while I respect Doc for what he did for us, Nurse is a MUCH better coach than him and they have an argument that they would’ve beat us last year with him.
We barely lost when we shot atrocious… WERE FINE. I ain’t worried at all
We were only bad when we were bad. Amirite?
Also why the fuck did we starts playing so well in the final two minute lol. Procrastinating also a factor imo.
How are you chill about these losses? You should not be chill about these losses at all my man
These aren’t “well our offense still looks the same we are just missing shots” losses, these are “do we even have an offense?” losses
I’m sorry but if you’re relaxed watching a team who starts white-holiday-brown-tatum-porzingis struggle to get open shots you need to wake up, that’s a huge problem
PP is a massive liability until he can figure his shit out.
