Sixers and the need for a backup C is a tale old as time itself

If our primary C wasn’t shooting like 35% from the field that would help.

Jakob Poetl would fit perfectly.

This would help in ways people arent even thinking too.

Jabari Walker has worked his way into real rotation minutes and has been playing out of position at small ball 5 more and more. He still eats glass while being forced there but hes not a rim protector so it is basically a layup line as you said. But he is the best rebounder on the team and im not sure it is that close. When we get somebody that can actually play the backup 5 in mid december he adds a whole new dynamic to the team as the backup 4. Rebounding has been our biggest weakness for years, even when Embiid was in his prime, but Bron and VJ also are great at their positions for rebounding.

So it just gives us more lineup flexibility. Slide bron to the 3 and you can have

Maxey

any of Simons/KCP/VJ/Brown

Bron at the 3

Jabari at the 4

Embiid or whoever we pick up at the 5

And you still have Barlow injured who is another big body to throw at people when he gets healthy. He started most of the games for us last year but Jabari may have taken his role. Barlow would be a better option at small ball 5 in the mean time though.

9-2

norm powell is the problem

team looked so much better without him playing 0 defense and jacking up contested 3s

This what I always wanted with Nerlens Noel and Okafor. Unfortunately that science is not yet available

VJ is such a selfless player, kid is gonna have an amazing career.

Phab 5

+17 for the game compared to the other 4 starters 👀

Had to have been the best giddey game of the year right? Matas also looked like more of what I remembered from last season.

I did not enjoy him doing it vs us but giddey with a shot that’s falling is an extremely fun offensive player to watch.

He is the definition of a winning player. You can throw him in any sort of lineup and he will instinctively figure out the most useful thing for himself to do without ever complaining

I actually am surprised theres a team worse at it than the Sixers.

No offense meant to Jalen Smith, who I like, but look at that bulls big rotation.

We are allergic to rebounding

A lot of it was the Bulls not having the ability to box out but a lot of it was just crazy luck. There were so many shots that bounced right to the Sixers.

I would be surprised if they weren’t playing good, the team is stacked

Our schedule has to be the hardest in the league so far istg

You guys were playing well. I think the Bulls will be good once the young ones get more experience.

Yea when the Bears last played

I’ll let him know

It is weird how when he was younger he would use a floater, and shoot layups over handed, but as he got older he stopped. He really doesn’t shoot overhand shots in the paint unless he’s fading away. A lot of his shots are fade aways now. I know he’s said that’s due to his feet/ankles but it causes him to miss more than he should. He’s pretty much always fading away or going backwards on his 3 point shot/jump shots and it makes them very inconsistent.

Maybe you should go over to his house and tell him that

I’ve only ever seen Steve Nash be good at it.

shits unreal man just his overall mastery of the game as his career has evolved has been crazy to watch.

other players are great but I’ve never seen someone as good at controlling the game on both ends in the key moments

Late game no look pass to Maxey for a 3 was just a thing of beauty

Preach

lol he lost the sixers the last game take it easy. Bro is a super team chaser and still only got 4 rings

Edit: looks like lebrons army of children got to the downvotes. You can’t change history just because you can’t grasp what kind of human being (if he even was one) Larry bird was saying “that’s god disguised as Michael Jordan” when the kid was a rookie.

Somehow we had 20 offensive rebounds tonight. Can’t remember the last time we did that.

He is getting a lot of mebounds bc he cant buy a shot rn
