I can't with this poo.. I think this game shows how badly we need to make a move for a big.. Omg so disappointing.. and infuriating

2/4/22 - Less than a week away and the moves are just starting to happen.. Blazers fire-sale incoming??

I forsee a fall in the standings.. we just played .500 ball against the easiest stretch of our schedule.. rly upset

This stretch before the Allstar break might make or break our season because there are so many matchups between us and the teams we are fighting for position in the rankings right now.. we really need to start playing our best B-Ball right about now.. no more d!ck'n around: @ BOS vs CLE vs MIA vs TOR vs CHI @ DET vs MEM @ MIN vs CHI

I like what Ish brings as a player - but not as your backup PG to run the 2nd unit.. and if the 2nd unit is missing Kelly Oubre - it gets real tough - we really need a facilitating PG to make it all jell together.. Oubre, Hayward and McD are unique players that have helped Borrego a ton.. they have hidden the roster's dark spots and whenever Ish is in there, and the ball is moving and being driven/kicked out and swung around - and then it ends up in Ish's hands - you know he isn't shooting the 3 ball unless he is WIDE open.. that's not his game

scoring has never been our problem.. some nights the 3ball isn't falling but if we play Defense - we can hang until it starts going down again.. that's the key we get a BIG game on prime time vs the Lakers tomorrow.. they will be playing the 2nd half of a back-to-back (1st half vs 76ers tonight on TNT) - so everyone watch and see AD vs Embiid

Bouk seemed small out there on the court - but check his height and he is listed at 6'4.. he needs to bulk up

welp...

damn.. i really thought we turned a corner as a franchise and these type of loses were behind us.. we gotta get our edge back.. cant afford to drop in the standings.. I thought this was supposed to be the easy streak of our schedule where we stack wins..

any/all attempts to get me excited for the 2022 football season..

Hayward was missed.. his steadiness was missed in this game.. sometimes when the shots aren't falling for us - He is the guy to come in and get a solid elbow shot that is like 90% efficient for him.. i keep thinking he is the guy they might flip for someone at the deadline - but he is extremely valuable but at the same time over-payed.. lol

11% from 3pt line.. oof on to the next one.. 1st of 3 games vs Raptors in the next month.. they have kinda been on the rise since the new year - gotta bounce back

So we currently have played 8 Back-to-Backs (B2B). We have lost the 2nd game of every B2B we have played: Oct 24: @BRK - W Oct 25: BOS - L Oct 31: POR - W Nov 1: CLE - L Nov 7: @LAC - L Nov 8: @LAL - L Nov 19: IND - W Nov 20: @ATL - L Nov 26: MIN - W Nov 27: @HOU - L Dec 5: @ATL - W Dec 6: PHI - L Dec 19: @PHO - L Dec 20: @UTH - L Jan 2: PHO - L Jan 3: @WASH - L Now we will play 6 more B2Bs the rest of the season: Jan 25: @TOR Jan 26: @IND Feb 11: @DET Feb 12: MEM - #3 in West Feb 27: DET Feb 28: @MIL - #4 in East Mar 8: BRK - #2 in East Mar 9: BOS Mar 27: @BRK - #2 in East Mar 28: DEN - #6 in West Apr 7: ORL Apr 8: @CHI - #3 in East This upcoming B2B against TOR/IND might be out best chance at winning both sides of a B2B the rest of the way through the season.

Oubre was HUGE off the bench because Hayward wasn't getting his buckets.. Gordon seemed that he was tired trying to keep Tatum locked up..

the combo of Mitch and JB is one of the best in the league.. like @toldozer said - we have chosen some late round gems and developed a ton of young talent under this coaching staff.. it is what gives me hope in the future about Bouknight and Kai.. i dont think we need to sell the farm to get a legit center because in a year - Kai might be ready to contribute.. in 2 years, i expect him to be a problem for other teams.. PG: Ball - *** SG: Rozier - Martin SF: Hayward - Oubre PF: Bridges - McD C; Plumlee - PJ Closely behind upgrading the Center position - the backup PG spot is a role i think we might want to get some help before the deadline.. Ish is usually solid off the bench, but JB doesn't have him in the regular rotation because of his size/defense

with the stats Miles is putting up - he is looking at a Jaylen Brown deal @ $24-28m with what Cody Martin is doing - he is looking at a Jeremy Lamb deal @ $6-12m 2022-23 NBA salary cap = $119m 2022-23 CHA contracts = $115m We will have to move some salary to keep Miles + Martin.. Look for some combo of Hayward ($30) Plumlee ($9) Ish ($4.5) PJ ($4) Vern ($2) to get moved.. oh and next year will be the last year of $9m going to Batum..

tears.. yeah - obviously looking back we were pissing away the year - but its about the mindset.. we were operating for half a year that we were playoff contenders.. we obviously were one of the bottom 3 teams.. now we hand no hope for playoffs and can operate honestly.. true that Rhule could make moves to put us in an even deeper hole.. hopefully Fitts has the true control and makes moves for the future - not the 2022 season

yep.. Last year, like many, I was on the fence and honestly didn't know if we were going to be good-decent-or awful.. I don't think the team knew either and we all were looking at the moves we were making with rose colored glasses.. now that we know its all gone to sh*t - we can start the process of digging out of it.. even with this clown as our HC.. start the process of shedding bad $$ and obtaining draft stock and gathering real assets.. we just gonna throw a year away to right the ship.. I, for one, and happy to know i dont have to worry about this team for an entire season.. giving me back my sanity

I never argued he was worth the $$ - or that he could shoot.. I just gave their career stats because u made the comparison but they are simply not comparable.. Simmons is far superior to MKG in passing and every other stat

after comparing Ben vs MKG - I can't believe we gave MKG anything over $5m @ year... Cho was the WORST!!!!

MKG = 8.4 ppg Ben = 16 ppg MKG = 1.2 apg Ben = 7.7 apg MKG = 5.4 rpg Ben = 8.1 rpg Simmons has caught so much sh*t this year people forget he is a 3x All Star.. ya'll trippin..

the Defense is starting to look serviceable.. That is what is going to take us to another level..

Fug Philly, fasho! now.....
