It’s because he hasn’t gotten out of the second round his whole career. Fan bases who want championships eventually sour on their stars if they don’t deliver. If you want to be a fan who doesn’t care about championships you can root for Portland or Memphis
I mean the fact that we played Minnesota, a team who has two bigs in their starting lineup, and we were down our starting big and our second big was in foul trouble and Bamba STILL didn’t play any meaningful minutes was the nail in the coffin. If you don’t see the floor in that situation than I’m sorry, you’re out
SOV would make Carolina look like a juggernaut
The fact that we played a team that starts two bigs in their lineup, and we didn’t have our starting center, our backup center was in foul trouble and Mo Bamba still didn’t see any meaningful minutes doesn’t provide strong evidence for him to be on this roster.
Welcome back doomers! You all feeling better today after sleeping on it last night?
I mean I’m just guessing. We beat them once already. Maybe we sit him and see what happens, and then if we get a close competitive game we have the “we almost beat them even without Embiid” excuse. It’s an old Popavich trick
I think they were going for the W tonight and then gonna sit Embiid tomorrow
Need the Peter Parker glasses meme for this one
What happened to Kelly??
Couldn’t have said it better myself
A tale as old as time…
After derick white fouled him
He also got fouled by white but they didn’t call it
Great win, at this point it looks like we’ll be ok with out harden, and by ok I mean we can still get some wins and be top 5 in the East. Gonna need some help if we want to get out of the second round though. Gonna also need a backup PG though because that start of the 4th quarter with Pat Bev, Reed, Tobias, House, and Oubre was rough
The biggest shame in recent NBA is no Sixers/bucks playoff matchups. They always play intense close games
Well that sucked. Glad we got the loss out of the way. We were getting too comfortable thinking we can just flip a switch and win. We needed a punch in the gut, and honestly we’re still in first place and should be able to finish in first.
