It was perfect timing for ja to lay low, Dillon brooks took all the heat over the last 4-6 weeks and they even threw him under the bus. But ja just couldn’t help himself.

ja probably has so much money at this point nothing bad will happen to him outside of something random like gun violence.

I've not been a Doc fan, but none of this particular meltdown was his fault.
Still, bring on Nick Nurse.

idk feel like he should had something for the celtics pick and roll defense yesterday as they were doing the same thing as the last game, i mean it couldve just been a dead end and the celtics had them figured out but i didnt see any attempt at an adjustment, like maybe use an empty corner for the pick and roll so the celtics cant help as easy, maybe they thought that corner shooter was an advantage for them tucker didnt hit 3-6 but hes so slow if you can recover at all its just not happening
― lag∞n, Monday, 15 May 2023 15:37 (eleven months ago) link
not to repeat myself but to me they have an intractable problem which is always having two non shooters on the floor. the sixers generated tons of open threes & were hitting shots at the beginning of the game when it looked like it would be competitive but boston didn’t care and those shots stopped falling. they had rob will playing free safety pretty much all game. and of course the two primary in the harden embiid pick and roll losing the ability to play basketball can’t help
Sixers trying to do little things to move RWIII around. His matchup is on the wing again. Harden/Embiid P&R, Horford in a drop but he's pointing for RWIII to help so he can recover. Issue is that opens up a 2v1 for Sixers. Have to hit these notes. pic.twitter.com/zmxLZJBSFL— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) May 14, 2023

taking a little gander at philly's cap sheet, thinking about how it'll just end up being a gift for them if harden opts out and goes to houston or whatever, rip the bandaid off... but why on earth did they give pj tucker a player option for his age 39 season

moreys role player additions have been so lazy you need to go out and find your own pj tucker not sign literal pj tucker

falling in love with your own guys is just one of those gm blind spots that you don't know if your guy is gonna have until the time comes. thibs another big one comes to mind, did you know derrick rose has a $15m player option for next year?

― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Monday, May 15, 2023 12:34 PM (one hour ago)
because the only way to get him to leave a better situation in miami was to offer him that money. the heat could have matched and let him walk which is very illustrative of the differences between those two franchises. PJ tucker was a great fit in miami and was quite a good player last season, but the heat don't need to import mental toughness. the sixers legitimately thought that overpaying for tucker would just fix all their problems & this narrative was fully bought into by the media and sixers fans after game 5. alas the power of embiid and harden was greater than the power of PJ tucker.
i'm sure that morey would say that an extra $10 million tacked onto tucker's contract is worth the value he provided to them this season and in the playoffs and maybe he's right. pat riley disagreed but riley is wrong a lot too. but it's more emblematic of a rot w/in the franchise of looking elsewhere to fix deep issues that need to be uprooted from w/in the self
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 May 2023 18:12 (eleven months ago) link
tucker also on a pretty steep curve of showing his age, you could say they were betting against that happening quite so swiftly.
