Didn't get to watch the game unfortunately but I heard Fultz looked great, but didn't play in the 2nd half at all?

He did. Was moving the ball well. Shooting and pushing the break w confidenceDidn't get to watch the game unfortunately but I heard Fultz looked great, but didn't play in the 2nd half at all?
His biggest issue is figuring out what to do what he gets to the lane. Too much stopping to that spin and turnovers
Muscala is a better option than saric both defensively and offensively yet saric was in the game during crunch time and OT. This is on brett. Blake dropped 50 and not once did he think about changing the matchup or sending a double team his way. It was nope let’s leave saric out there to get cooked

Not even gonna lie, Dario has been trash this year. He looks like he has no legs. I think all those summer international games are catching up to him.
saric missed 9 3s last night **** pisses me off. if you cold just stop, get in a rhythm from 2 then step back for a 3
its tough watching this team on offense at time
same ******** plays.. screen for redick , Screen at top of key then pass to embiid in the post, noone else moves around so we get players stuck at the 3 and with few seconds left on shot clock they heave a 3 up
brett brown needs to figure out some moves faster lol saric was getting BULLIED all game **** made no sense

Brett is relegating Dario to a stand still 3 pt shooter. Not his biggest strength. Wouldn’t even mind seeing him off the bench if they could find someone to plug in at the 4.

Meh, the city jerseys last year were much better. The shorts are solid though.

Also I was a big Dario defender last year but he’s been killing us so far. If he can’t find this jumper soon, I’d like to see Brett put JJ back in as a starter and have Dario first one off the bench.

Honestly those city parchment ones should just be the default homes

I like the greys. But last years City unis were definitely superior

Embiid is really showing the league that he's a near superstar with his start to the season. He's averaging just under 30 ppg, over 12 boards and over 2 blocks a game, and he's doing a lot of it inside and near the rim. I'm super impressed how well he looks this season. Can definitely tell he worked on his game during the summer. Plus he looks more fluid and not awkward when he lands. Super stoked!!!

We probably could have Kawhi right now playing alongside Embiid if our front office wasn’t in flames this summer and if Brett Brown wasn’t stubborn as hell with keeping Dario.

Everything that was asked of Embiid to improve on this summer he did.
Better Stamina: Check
Lower turnovers: Double check
Better three point: Kind of, but he's taking less
Playing better off the double team: Check
It's good to see him honing in on those issues. He and JJ are the only bright spots for the team so far.
I am quite concerned with the direction of this team to be quite honest. Here's why:
Brett Brown: Stubborn with his rotations and has favorites even when they play like trash, or worse, when the other members play well and yet, he sticks with his rotations. I mentioned before, he's at the same level as Dwayne Casey and Scott Brooks where he's good at development and turning a bad young team into a competitive playoff team, but he's not the type of coach that will take you a level beyond that. You cannot win a chip with him. The problem is that He's been part of the process since the very beginning and has a say on what to do with personnel and he definitely won't fire nor replace himself.
Elton Brand: What has he done so far? Nothing. Absolutely nothing and is hiding behind the excuse of "being patient" with Fultz. I hope he realizes there are other holes in this team outside of Fultz. So far, he seems to be a yes man that does what management thinks is right and what Brett thinks is appropriate. You will NOT win a chip with a visionless GM like this.
Simmons: This guy has regressed this year and was hit hard with the Kardashian curse. He hasn't added anything to his game and defenses know how to contain him now. I hope he sees this regression as motivation to take it up a notch and improve on his weaknesses. I wouldn't even vote him as an all-star this year. I still think he has the potential to be the best player on the team, but until he learns how to shoot, that's a fantasy.
Fultz: We have all been pretty vocal with him, I at least appreciate that he tries, but damn, he's not a high basketball IQ player. I saw him live vs Toronto and when he makes a mistake (like get the ball stripped from him), he really lets it get to him and it affects his confidence pretty hard. There are encouraging games but they are few and far between. If Fultz can indeed become something close to the player he once was (I doubt it), it will take all year and part of next year to reach that. And he DEFINITELY will not reach that alongside Ben. But Brett is too stubborn to switch up the lineups.
He's been relying on natural talent his whole life and you can see he still hasn't learned other parts of the game. When he's out there, he looks like he's playing pickup basketball.
Covington: Again, I saw him live against Toronto and I was actually quite impressed with his performance. I noticed things I don't usually notice watching from TV, but this guy is so active on defense. His hands are always moving and really impacted some turnovers from the raps but it wouldn't show up on the stat sheet.
JJ and Shamet are bright spots.
The most concerning thing with me right now is the direction management is taking, actually, I would even say it's the personnel hired. I don't believe in Brand, Brown is too involved with decisions (Coach/ GM role never works) and I believe Buc Em mentioned this before that if we stay this course, we are Clippers East and an ECF is our ceiling.

And with his recent relevation that he was an allen iverson fan as well growing up too. We had a really great chance of landing and keeping him.

The Spurs wanted Ben or Joel for Kawhi and it wasn’t worth trading either with him possibly not resigning.

Covington has been really good this year. Only game I didn’t like from him was the opener at Boston but most of the team was trash that game. Ben needs to either get a jump shot or be in attack mode 24/7, it’s embarrassing watching dudes sag off him and he’s looking for somewhere to pass it off too.

I think I’m gonna take a week off from watching this team, just too frustrating right now to waste my time on.

Man I’m glad I was at work during the game against the Nets and busy paying attention to football on my phone.
One thing I was thinking about that I don’t think is ever brought up. Wouldn’t it be crazy if we always got mad about Hinkie and Colangelo for the BS injury reports where it seemed like we never were given straight answers.....but in reality it’s really been Brett Brown behind it this whole time? There’s been three different GM’s since he’s been here and we’ve gotten the same dumb *** injury time tables and mystery about **** and he’s the one common denominator left.
