Re: Who is to blame for all these Injuries?

Fizz and Derrick fisher were terrible coaches. Tommy is a dangerous one, the starters get injured and the subs become rusty. The only thing holding ua back this year is Tommy’s stingy seven guard rotation. If he gets an extension it’s going to be brutal.

They’re faster and they are fresher. We can’t run with them. We’re broken down and worn out.

Obi must be really enjoying slamming it down our throat. The ship is sinking, if thibs and Randal get extensions it will always end like this.

Re: Who is to blame for all these Injuries?

Bob, yes, with the injuries we are down to 7 guys, that’s not my point. Thibs is just too stingy with his minutes. Many of us, including you, have argued for more minutes for McBride, sims and yeah burks was bad but it just might have taken more time. More recently, we have argued for more minutes f...

Re: Who is to blame for all these Injuries?

I guess I’m a member of the minute police. I believe very strongly in developing the whole team with minutes during the regular season and then come playoff go eight or nine deep. I understand we’re having a good run, but I will never be on board with the seven man rotation

Re: Mitchell Robinson is injured again

I would like to see Precious and Simms get a lot of playing time!! If we want to go to the finals we will need these guys consistently playing to help take us to a higher level

Re: Thibs with this love affair with mitch

Mitch plays good defense on Embiid. That’s something. Ihart on the other hand doesn’t. He’s too small and Joel can shoot over the top. For the life of me, I can’t understand why we didn’t see Precious at PF with OG guarding Embiid. In game 4 they went half a quarter without scoring a fg against that...

Precious propelled the defense and rebounding in game 4. And thibs goes to a 7 man rotation? Hart with 53 minutes? I don’t know what to say.

yeah, but that may be the one big thing Nick Nurse is working to fix for the next game. Thibs switching everything with Precious at the five and OG on Embiid happened out of necessity, when Embiid got I-Hart in massive foul trouble in a hurry. this line-up working may have caught our own coach by s...

There’s no shame in being unable to guard Embid. Arguably the toughest cover in the league. I like hartenstein, he does give 100 percent, just a difficult matchup .

This. Thibs without Julius is much better. I believe Julius without thibs will also be better.

Re: [Rd. 1, Game 4: 2024 Playoffs] Knicks v Sixers, 28 April, 1:00 PM, ABC

Thibs should recognize that Hartenstein was exposed in the third quarter. He can’t guard enbid. So he should insert precious as the floater and make OG the primary defender very early in tomorrow’s game. When we had Brunson with OG, Precious, McBride and Hart, the speed of the defense literally shoc...

Precious was giving great help defense on enbid, OG was amazing as the primary defender.
