2023-24 Regular Season Thread

[2 For The Brew]

Ehhh. Are we entirely sure that healthy Embiid will even return this year? Coming off his procedure, a player that already struggles with his conditioning. I don’t know if we will see a “healthy” Embiid this year even tho he may play again.

Also I think people are severely underestimating how much of a crapshoot the play-in is. It’s not even guaranteed that the Sixers would win their play-in game. One bad shooting night and you’re sunk.

I’m still in the camp of get the 2 seed at all costs.

There are no guarantees on Embiid. He could return fully healthy for the playoffs, not return until next year or anything in between.

We have no idea who will be healthy on what team so there's no reason to game our seed. Let's get that #2 seed.

Fritos and feet.

Maybe he can do the pod from the bench, instead of playing?

I see Wade as a type of player that needs the coaches confidence in him to be effective and that comes with more than just words.... he has to have playing time because that tells him the coach/team has confidence. Reduced playing is going to kill him and we are starting to see that in playing style. If this is true and JBB doesn't see it, its a firable offense

Add it to the list we've already got going - I think we're up to a couple of hundred or so.

What happened with Wade? Didn’t metrics show that lineups with him carried a higher plus minus than without? Weren’t defensive metrics better with him?
And now he barely plays?

Longest buzzer beater in the NBA, Strus was second longest:

(Two feet longer)

He didn't call "glass", it shouldn't count.

it is a mystery. Metrics love the guy. Our record with him playing 20+ minutes is fabulous - which is wild considering the only reason he gets 20+ is some of our best players are not playing.

The rotation for the playoffs is going to be Mitchell Garland Allen Mobley Strus LeVert Okoro and Niang regardless of who we play. Why cant we adjust the lineup according to who we play? I understand that is a nono in a one game series like in football. In a 7 game series thou u are only swapping 2 players max. Like against Indy maybe LeVert and against the Knicks maybe TT. Possibly against the Celts more Wade and Okoro

Horrible take, and the extreme hustle by Georges on this play is mind blowing too.
