2018/19 Philadelphia 76ers Thread: The Process Continues

******* despise Amir Johnson

He’s a nice person but please for the love of god get somebody that isn’t completely worthless out there as Embiid’s backup
 
That 4th quarter was so much fun. Embiid and Jimmy were monsters tonight.

Brown has to find a way to get Simmons more involved. Is he even averaging 10ppg over the last few games? Feels like he’s never involved. Can’t have a big three when two of them combine for 90% of their points.

Didn’t see Korkmaz tonight. Maybe I missed it, but thought that was interesting.

Game was great. Korkmaz played tonight. Both halves. Didn't score I don't think. I'm really bummed not seeing TJ out there. I understand getting Fultz minutes to get his head right, but TJ has proved so much and can do a lot of things.

Ben had some good moments tonight. Especially that late driving And 1. Was a big play down the stretch. Plus that pass to Jimmy on the inbound was sweet! Give them time to gel and it's gonna be FUN!!!

Oh, and I can't believe Mitchell jacked up 35 shots!!! And only scoed 31! DudesD gonna need to ice that arm tonight shooting so much!

BTW, what was Jimmy wearing? Couldn't make out what Jordans he had on.
 
I want to see more screens set for Ben and less DHOs when he has the ball. That one screen JJ set him was nice, need more of that so he can just attack the rim straight on. Def think we’ll see more pnr will jimmy and Ben/jojo moving forward.
 
good win, cant wait to c this squad in a month or 2 :pimp:

Less TJ the better

Wanna see more Fultz Butler Embiid lineups

Although I would like to see more of this trio I seriously do not understand your hatred for TJ. He still controls the pace of the game better than any PG on our team, plays every second like it’s Game 7 of the NBA Finals and he’s our best shooting PG as well.
 
If TJ is as good of a third string PG you will ever get. He's also our 3rd best iso scorer after Embiid and Butler.

I loved the efficiency of Butler and him already effectively playing off ball.

Fultz also looked comfortable and I think people are starting to warm up to him since there's slow progress. I think moving to the bench was the right thing to do. Brown will continue to experiment with lineups and sometimes it won't work, I am totally ok with that as that's the whole point of the experiment. I noticed there was a short instance where Fultz, Simmons, Embiid, and Butler were all on the floor together.

One thing that's still not ideal is that even though Butler can make 3s, his first instinct it not that, it's to drive to the basket. Which means the way teams will defend him will be different that teams trying to game plan against the CJs and Klay's of the world. He does not gravitate the defense and stretches them out, so that's not ideal for Fultz, Simmons or Embiid.

That being said, Muscala, Redick, and Shamet are so important for this team to work. I don't know much about how Chandler can stretch the floor, I am also putting hope in Smith to be able to do that when he gets healthy.

Is there any hope that Bolden can be a competent player? the only time I saw him was in a two minute stretch against the Hornets (I believe) where he looked good.

It’s not hatred lol he’s a solid back up but he doesn’t help when he’s a pass first PG. Very easy to defend when defenses know when you drive you’re looking to pass instead of shoot. Same nonsense with Ben.

When Fultz drives, he’s still a threat to try to score. Went straight at Gobert on a drive instead of being soft. Adds another dimension to the offense we haven’t had since Wroten

You lost me when you mentioned Tony Wroten!
 
Put some respeck on his name man :smh:

























He was no Jakarr Sampson tho :smokin

I went to games during the process and Wroten had free reign to gun it. The players sucked but it was what it was to get Embiid and Simmons eventually.

Wroten was best known for having the sole of one of his pI'm Jordan Xs come off during a game!!

The Spencer Hawes era was quite a time
 
****ing despise Amir Johnson

Brown needs to just let Moose play center when JoJo’s sitting. Put Ben at 4 and let Markelle run point and increase the pace even more. Muscala should get even better looks as a stretch 5 and Simmons and Fultz can operate in the paint as long as there’s shooters at 2 and 3.
 
If there's a decent deal that can be made for a decent backup 5/starting 4 I hope Old School Chevy pulls the trigger
