Other Sports: The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers 23-24 Season Thread: Better Than the Flyers?

[PDX Flyer]

Oubre would be the obvious choice but I wouldn't be surprised if they want to keep him coming off the bench. Not sure I would disagree with that either since without him there isn't a lot of bench scoring to look forward to.

I'd kind of like to see Batum get some run. He's one of those guys that you never really think about until you see him play and then you go, "that guy's pretty good". Not sure what he's got left but he averaged just under 22 min per game last year (more than RoCo) so he may have something left.

I loved Batum on the Blazers that feels like ages ago. I didn’t even think he was still playing lol

I think they did a team Halloween bowling thing... altho Furkan looks like he went as Furkan.

So glad Harden is gone, and Tucker going with him is addition by subtraction as well. This was basically Simmons part 2.

I knew that or something similar would be what we'd wind up taking, since LAC wouldn't give up Mann. I think I even layed it out in this thread somewhere (I remember having Korkmaz in the deal though, hilarious neither team wanted to include him).

I like KJ Martin and the rest of the guys are nice vet role players. And they're all expiring contracts, so after January 1st some of those guys plus the picks can be moved for like Lavine or Anunoby or whoever. We have 2 months to see how Maxey works at the #2 option basically.

I wonder who slides into Tuckers spot in the lineup? Do you go with Oubre or stick RoCo in there?

Apparently Nurse said Oubre will be in the starting lineup at least in the short-term.

5 crotch chops in support of first ousting "divo1" Simmons and now "divo2" with Harden!

Raps somehow built a 27 pt lead on Bucks then tbe refs decided to get involved.

Bucks 33 FT's, Raps 9

Bucks defense is trash. They miss Jrue POA defense

Would not have guessed RoCo was that high. I would have though KK was above him.

He ain't gonna stick around long enough to break AI's record anyway

Has anyone else been suddenly exposed to Brazilian NBA Twitter lately? The official Brazilian accounts of NBA teams are absolutely insane.

He’s one of the tamest ones I’ve seen… but it’s still nuts.

Even if he does, only a matter of time before Maxey shatters it.
If RoCo can still play defense, he'll get plenty of shots.

 

[Embiid]

When you start recycling former players like the Flyers....it's not a good look. He'll be ok for depth in the interim...not expecting much of an impact.

Even.if true...Rivers is still deflecting from his own crappiness...

Doc Rivers Is Dishing the Dirt on James Harden and Ben Simmons

Doc Rivers is done coaching, for now at least, and that means he's free to dish the dirt on James Harden and Ben Simmons following each player's controversial holdouts in Philadelphia.Doc hasn't w

The former Philly coach was also asked whether Harden or Simmons was more frustrating to coach, and this is what he had to say.

“Maybe James, only because James can. When he did, we were great. Ben was frustrating in a whole different way… I didn’t have the frustration with Ben thinking if Ben did this we could win it.”

 

[deadhead]

That's really damning for Simmons, basically your coach gave up on you.
Harden, like Westbrook, is a player whose stats exaggerate their impact, because they stat chase.
The difference with someone like Butler, who was also a pain to coach, is Butler was ultra-competitive and wanted to win.

Intangibles matter.

 

[Tripod]

Funny enough yesterday on NBA Today they were saying how Westbrook was the leader of the Clips and helped give them direction. Ànd even if he comes off the bench, will be the emotional leader.

We have a rare Furk sighting tonight. Nice to see.

Harden: Philly kept me 'on leash,' didn't want me

James Harden, introduced Friday by the Clippers, said he's ready to prove he can "fit in with anybody" for a title run after feeling like he was "on a leash" in Philadelphia.
