Just a lost year and his confidence is too shaky. Had a few nice moments at the end of the year, but no way to trust him in the playoffs. Gotta keep working this offseason and hopefully come back with a positive mindset next year.
ehh maybe. Let's see Baynes hit 7 3s again in his career. Stevens definitely shined though, i hate him because he coaches the Celtics, but he is going to be a pain in the ### no matter what players are on that team as long as he is there
i like you bud, but the only time there was complaining about the refs was the last 2 days after game 4. the refs were not outstanding but the Sixers lost that game on their own. putting a team in the bonus with 10 minutes to go is an anomaly, but Sixers youth and inexperience was probably the biggest reason they lost this game.
What a difference a draft pick makes. Tatum would've put you guys over the top especially considering how bad Covington was in the series.
still think it is waayyyy too early to call this. let's revisit in 2-3 years. Without a doubt not having the Fultz from summer league was a huge difference in a lot of games, i think the Sixers win this in 4 or 5 if that Fultz would have had a year of experience under his belt.
to be honest, if Tatum went to another team, i don't think he has nearly the stats he had all year. Stevens should get just as much credit, maybe more, for how well Tatum has looked throughout the whole year. Definitely in this series, he had him in a lot of spots to succeed
There's not a young player in the game that would fit on the 76ers better than Tatum.
maybe next year both teams can do it again nice and healthy.
My only complaint were those two phantom technical fouls that were called consecutively against the Celtics in Game 4.
A starting lineup of Simmons, Reddick, Tatum, Saric and Embiid would be really tough. With a guy like Simmons that needs the ball in his hand, unless Fultz learns how to shoot again, he's going to be a huge liability. Teams will be able to play off of both him and Simmons and just pack the middle.
Turner, Crawford and Bradley I will give you as guys that Stevens made look much better than they are but Tatum is a budding star in this league regardless of what team he is on.
I think that Kings’ pick is going to look a little like this year’s Nets pick. Everyone drools all over it for years and it’s going to be like #10 in a mediocre draft.
Just Smart...they get Kyrie, Hayward and Theis (a key rotation player) back...Tatum, Rozier and Brown are a year older and they have the potential for 4 1st round picks in 2019 including a high lottery pick...they are in a great spot for the short and long term...
Not too bad. should get you to the conference finals where you will face:
he is still 19 years old. just think what you were doing at 19, and then think of being asked to lead and be a key player in the NBA. can get crazy to think about
This offseason will be interesting for the Sixers...they really need to add a veteran star... they need to add some maturity to this team...obviously a Leonard or LeBron would be huge but they could also use a Horford type of stabilizing personality...Embiid and Simmons are mega-talents but it would do them a lot of good to have some high-end veterans to take over the leadership roles and help their games mature...will be interesting to see what happens with Reddick...that would be a tough loss...the kid can just flat-out shoot...that being said he is 33 and this will be his last chance at big $...
switch coaches & Fultz is MVP of a Sixer sweep and Tatum is scrambling for minutes behind Marcus Morris & a few trade-deadline Euros
Was clearly too much for Fultz to think about. That much is clear considering he mind ####ed himself into forgetting how to shoot. And yes, I may have s h I t myself too. Just don’t think I’d forget how to shoot.
i feel confident Reddick will re-sign. for how much, i don't know, but it will be less. feel pretty confident in that.
How does that happen?
capella rules again
I think they mostly were just asking him to play a little bit each game and have a competent jump shot...
yeah, i don't the Sixers caused it. and it will be a mystery for at least another year or 2. Even when he gets his shot back there will be that need to see it for a long time to know it is here to stay.
the kid averaged close to a triple-double with a poor FT and literally no jumper. I think he is so much higher than either Smart or Rondo they aren't comparable. the plan the whole time (from Brown 2 years ago) was for Ben to master the PG position, then work on the shot. Similar to MJ, similar to Lebron. i understand there is no guarantee he gets a reliable shot, but even without ever fixing his shot his floor is Kidd or better
i would like to see it, but as long as Stevens is coaching there i can't see this happening. Amir would not be the player he is without Stevens, and i think as long as Hayward isn't a total headcase he will be good. but yeah, $30 mil/year can be a hell of an albatross.
Didn't compare them as players but as players who had bad outside shots...I thought both Rondo and Smart could figure it out but they didn't...if Philly is gonna seriously compete for a title he needs to get at least decent in that area...
well, i wish you would have told Smart that before this series. games 1-3 he seemed to be hitting at a rate higher than i thought he could.
I see the exact opposite...I think he is going to thrive with the C's...he was the guy I wanted them to target...he played for Stevens at Butler and I think he helps take this team to another level next year...
