2023-24 Preseason GT

[128]

Kornet needs to finish that

Or at least hit the rim

Al short-armed one, too.

 

[Imbricus]

Kornet cementing a fourth-string center role ... yuk, he doesn't look good. Made a lazy swipe at the ball on defense, giving up a dunk; that's not what you want your big doing when the guy is three feet from the basket.

 

[The Mort Report]

That quarter was fine, especially for the first of the preseason. 28% FG, 25% from 3, but they were almost all good looks and you can see they are still trying to figure out how to play with all that talent on the floor at once

 

[Ale Xander]

I’m ready for PJT to retire

 

[Just a bit outside]

Zinger 3/3. Rest of team 4/22.

 

[128]

Love that Tatum post-up. That needs to be a central part of his offensive game.

 

[128]

Not that the Sixers were hard to dislike before, but the addition of Oubre makes them that much more loathsome.

 

[Ale Xander]

Financial security is a powerful thing

 

[jmcc5400]

Might it be ….. the season of the Pritch?

 

[osori]

Extend that man! Wait...

 

[The Mort Report]

I kept waiting for the Pooph commercial to actually be a gag but nope

 

[Ale Xander]

POBOBS interviewed on ESPN

 

[SteveF]

Really nice decision by Pritchard on that break. The timing of the pass was perfect and it had to be.

 

[Ale Xander]

Brissett looking like guy #10

 

[Just a bit outside]

Al looking spry

 

[teddykgb]

Gorman replacement guy not making a good first impression here

 

[Ale Xander]

Cmon JT

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Guys going pretty hard for a pre-season game...

 

[osori]

Second time JT lost the ball spinning into the help defender.

 

[Ale Xander]

Zinger is smooooth

 

[teddykgb]

Tyrese “Iverson” Maxey is playing his ass off

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Rebounding is definitely going to be their Achilles heel.

 

[SteveF]

It might be, especially when they aren't playing two bigs.

 

[The Mort Report]

Peddy!

 

[128]

Jaylen turnover in transition. Sigh.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

That JB fast break was very JB.

 

[Ale Xander]

POBOBS needs to lock JB inside PP’s garage

 

[osori]

Jaylen...

 

[Ale Xander]

Lol
“This isn’t first take”

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Yeah, rebounding is going to be something to watch.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hot potato

 

[SteveF]

I'd imagine the starters might be done.

 

[mikeot]

Guys going pretty hard for a pre-season game...

Sixers seem to bring that out in them.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Sixers got up 8 more shots; Cs with 7 turnovers, only 5 for Sixers; Cs with 5 offensive rebounds, Sixers with 7.

It's preseason, obviously, but Joe says he wants to emphasize causing turnovers and winning the shot battle.

 

[SteveF]

Yep. True shot attempts/FGAs are always the first thing I look at in the box score.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Payton "Microwave" Pritchard with 10 points in 9 minutes.

 

[Ale Xander]

Starters still in for some reason

 

[128]

Sixers getting more than their share of the 50/50 balls.

 

[Imbricus]

Man, Celtics are really getting outhustled. I know it's just an exhibition game, but ...

 

[Dollar]

I love seeing Dustin Pedroia at a Celtics preseason game.

 

[Ale Xander]

JB!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

Time to put the scrubs in

(Apologies to Jay)

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Man, Celtics are really getting outhustled. I know it's just an exhibition game, but ...

I get the sense that these guys are just not very comfortable where they’re at on the floor. Going to be a work in progress.

 

[Imbricus]

I get the sense that these guys are just not very comfortable where they’re at on the floor.

Yeah, Jaylen bumped into Porzingis top of the key, and they looked like they were both trying to occupy the same spot and still figuring out where they need to be.

I wonder about Jaylen as the best-paid player in the NBA. His dribbling looks about as bad as last year. Maxey though, that I could see, ha.

 

[128]

Man, Celtics are really getting outhustled. I know it's just an exhibition game, but ...

Sixers feeding off Maxey's energy. The kid plays hard.

 

[Ale Xander]

Zinger is great and all, but he kinda of sucks as a rebounder for a 7-3 guy.

 

[128]

Embiid-less Sixers out rebounding C's.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

25 minutes for the starters in the first half of a b2b in the preseason. Joe is still Joe I guess.

 

[Ale Xander]

Maybe they want to win?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Good last two minutes to build on. Force turnovers and then smoke teams on the fast break.
