Pacers down to one big, Isaiah Jackson out for the season now.

Injuries are out of control.

We've let a 21 point lead at half time disappear within 5 minutes.

Cool.

Then put the foot down like we did once they got close. Almost a carbon copy of yesterday.

Load management and mins restrictions have done absolutely NOTHING worthwhile to manage injuries. I agree with Chuck, sports science is just an excuse for nerds to be involved with sport.

Grizzlies ability to pluck two way players out of their rear end is widly underrated.

Huff with 20 pts in 11 minutes. Scottie Pippen Jnr with 11 assists in 20 mins . GG Jackson from last year too. Basically have those 3 guys earning 2.5 mill each a year for next 3 years able to provide big minutes from the bench.

Why did Sengun miss 1.5qtrs? Started like a house on fire, then subbed after 7 mins until HT…

Udoka seems to blame him any time we play bad.

Bizarre. The he comes back the 3rd & single handedly pulls you back from a near 30pt deficit.

Can't believe we got that back to OT.

 

[pacemaker]

How GSW blow that 26+ lead to bring it to OT is beyond me.

 

[Gak Attack]

Lol all that to still shit the bed in OT.

Ime is one of those coaches with poor game feel. Going back to the group in OT that got down 30 plus instead of the ones who got it back.

Oh joel

 

[Memphis]

The East standings right now.

Lol.

Hopefully Embiid doesn’t get in trouble for pushing the reporter. Reporter got what he deserved. His comments were revolting and he got what he deserved, if not much less then he deserved

Hayes had written a column earlier this week, suggesting that Embiid owed it to Philadelphia to ensure he’s fit and on the floor as much as possible.

“Joel Embiid consistently points to the birth of his son, Arthur, as the major inflection point in his career. He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for the boy named after his little brother, who died in an automobile accident when Embiid was in his first year as a 76er,” Hayes wrote.

“Well, in order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work. Embiid has been great at just the opposite. Now in his 11th season, he consistently has been in poor condition.”

Hayes continued, adding the “The degree of contempt Embiid has for his organisation … is utterly flabbergasting”. He later added that it was a “dereliction of duty”

Lol.

In no particular order you could almost lock in Celtics Knicks and Cavs as finishing top 3 and then throw a blanket on the majority of the east for the feast of the playoffs spots. Pacers and Magic hit with some unfortunate injuries and Philly will get a lot better with George and Embiid on the court but I still think the top 3 in the east are a level above the next bunch.

OKC look the only lock for the West they look miles above anyone else.

It’s killing us getting absolutely nothing from FVV so far this season.
