Is Sexton real bad or is my dude K. Love just being a big crybaby?

Coaches like ISOs at the end of games becuase they reduce turnovers (including offensive fouls) and control the clock

If the 76ers forced Ben Simmons to run the offense from the 4 the entire game and just play 2 guards who can shoot they would be amazing. This obsession with coddling him and letting him play the actual one is so bizzare.

Signing horford was so obviously a horrible idea and should be a fireable offense

Horford isn't washed, he's just the 5th scoring option. Still needs to be traded.

It doesn’t matter if he’s washed or not, he’s the 4th best big on the floor when he is starting and that will always mean he is pointless

Milwaukee puts a center, 2 versatile wing players and a combo guard next to Giannis and that seems like it works really well and is pretty obviously the right way to construct it when you have a guy like that as your primary ball handler. I don't think Simmons is Giannis, but they at least both play that "Point PF" role.

They got killed in the playoffs whenever Embiid sat and, yeah, you gotta solve that but using a near-max slot seems like a huge overkill way to solving that.

They have Simmons and Horford and no one for them to pass to for open shots.

The whole concept of going big when a lot of the league has gone smaller isn't bad by itself, but the Sixers roster just doesn't make sense when it comes to maximizing player skillsets.

Maybe the Rockets but the Cavs aren't interested in trading him to a team with no first round picks for the next like five years just to get Eric Gordon and Nene

every now and then I think about the fact that the Rockets turned three first round picks, two first round pick swaps, Pat Bev, Harrell and Sweet Lou into Russ

I guess he had Paul guarding him in the post and instead of exploiting that the coach was yelling at him to set a screen for Sexton for some drat reason

And TT doesn't even bother to set a screen despite the coach yelling at him to do so.

Giannis is willing to take at least cursory jumpshots though instead of being an offensively easy to predict absolute coward.

seems like being an inefficient jump shooter corresponds to being an MVP candidate. The most logical conclusion is that people need to start missing more shots and Sexton and Wiggins are actually good.
