Yeah I don’t have the numbers to support it but it “feels” like the Sixers struggle when he’s subbed for as the entire culture of the lineup completely changes as opposed to games when he’s in a suit.

Yeah, I could buy that. Simmons definitely looks different today, even when Embiid is out.
On another note, Caris LaVert is a stud. These FAs with their eyes on the Knicks should really be looking at the Nets instead. Well-run franchise, lots of supporting talent, sexy vibe in Brooklyn.
I see it as getting the head on the follow through because he was making a lazy play on the ball
Wow. I'm half watching but it looks like Philly really got screwed there (Butler ejected and the flagrant on Embiid).
Yeah, agree. I think he made the right play in the wrong way, and correctly got a flagrant for being reckless, which I like on the part of the league. You can't let guys wind up like that and then let them off the hook if they happen to get lucky and catch the ball.
The crazy thing is that it wasn't hair-trigger reffing. Secaucus clearly told them to.
Well, they were 8-10 when he didn't dress this season, including a 34 point loss to Portland, a 23 point loss to Miami, and losses to Atlanta twice, Chicago, and Dallas.
Maybe. On the other hand, he pushed a confrontation into the stands, quite literally into two families who had small children sitting in those seats. Thankfully the families moved out of the way, but that could have been very bad given how huge these players are. Sitting 1/2 game seems appropriate in that context to me.
Hmm. I thought we agreed that single game plus minus wasn't a great metric. How about these stats: 3-13 from the field and 0-6 from deep today (3-16 for the series). I like the guy but he is struggling this series bigtime.+16
But yeah, dude’s killing them
Yep, they’ve coughed up this game, and likely any shot at making this a series.
This game is awesome. That dime by DLo was amazing. Kudos to Mike Scott for that big bucket too.
Yeah but he had the ball down low so its hard to get that call. The Nets lost this game because of their inexperience. They will learn.
