Re: February Games Discussion Thread

Sixers allowing Rockets's energy and athleticism to keep them in this game. The issue with the Sixers is that they have too slow of a pace, especially with Maxey on the bench. Melton isn't unathletic, but he isn't pushing the pace. Sixers only have 3 plus athletes in their normal rotation in Maxey, Melton, and McDaniels. So unless the Sixers are dictating the pace, they seem to always start off slow until they flip that switch. I'm not looking forward to having another washed up 32-33+ center for the 3rd straight center in Dedmon

Would love to see the Rocket have a traditional veteran PG. They need someone else to create easy looks for Jalen Green instead of him doing it all in a game like this without KPJ

I know that he's going to do it, but it is going to piss me off to see(well not see because I don't watch the game) LeBron in the All-Star game doing a bunch of dunks and stuff when he is sitting out these games that we desperately need to win.

Yo, it gets so frustrating watching this team at times lol. Always seems to get out-hustled. This should be a blowout if it wasn't for beyond poor rebounding. It almost surprising how bad the Sixers are at defensive rebounding. Embiid is beyond lazy at times with not boxing out and other guys just standing and watching. The only reason this isn't a 15+ lead at halftime is because of a 12- 0 2nd chance point lead for the Rockets. Especially with the Rockets shooting poorly

Too many games, it feel like the Sixers are either a 1st round exit or a conference championship team at best. It's either or for this team

Re: February Games Discussion Thread

There is one thing KD can say. He never lost to the Knicks LMFAO

Ben Simmons has the craziness mentally condition I've ever seen. It's like there is a force field around the basket. I don't think we will ever see something like this before. I just watched him miss a point blank layup and then on the next possession drive to the rim open lane. Passed it Claxton who was surprised he got the pass didn't know what to do with it. Hopefully I can find a clip. Because it's insane

Their right there. But it's games like this where your like [emoji102]. Houston has played very well since the trade deadline. I kind of expected this.

Yeah, there are games where when everything is clicking, they look like they can go head to head with anyone. But other games, they look like a first round exit.

Rockets have looked well at times this game. Just wished they had a true PG to initiate the offense.

I like what Jalen McDaniels have brought so far. Can get beat at times, but is bringing it on both sides and at least tries to create for himself. Plus does rebound, which we desperately need

That was y’all issue last year too if I’m not mistaken.

Re: February Games Discussion Thread

Good stretch to bring it up to a 19 point lead with under 7 mins, that should likely do it for tonight.

Yes, that is correct. When you have Harden and Embiid, the pace is obviously going to be slow. But the issue when both Harden and Embiid go to the bench, there is little to know playmaking or trying push the pace.

I'm not a Doc Rivers guy, but I'm not going to blame coaching for lack of effort and hustle. If you're a professional, you shouldn't need a rah rah coach to motivate you to give effort. So, I do think it starts with Embiid. Like tonight, just has 6 rebounds. No reason for him to be not bring it on the boards, especially when we saw it in games before like in the Nuggets game.
