Losing the Pistons and Raptors games was where they put themselves in this hole. They could’ve beaten the 8-1 Suns in PG’s first game. That was the best watch by a mile. Next game, Maxey gets hurt.
I have definitely not loved Nurse’s rotations — can’t entirely crucify a coach leaning on some veterans in week 1 — but I just don’t know what anyone can do with small old farts and non-shooters and Drummond behind them. This team is not designed to win many games with 2/3 of Embiid, Maxey, PG not available.
Meanwhile, Giannis and Dame have missed 1 game combined and the Bucks are 2-7.
