What are these line ups

10 point lead type lineups!

[Vermont Green]

Wow. High scoring period. It is our first string against their second string, and our second string against their third string. Our second string needs to really play well.

Howitzer!

Outside of the turnovers, this may be the best I've seen our offense look in terms of actual shot quality and selection. We're passing up decent to good looks to get GREAT looks tonight. I think there were only 1-2 questionable shots all quarter.

Of course, it helps when you don't have 7' Embiid in the lane, too.

[blink]

we put up 44 on Philly but with all the turnovers, it doesn't feel like we are really playing that well.
can we get to 90 at half?

[jpotter33]

How are we only up 8 shooting 70%?

Philly is playing way over their head offensively. We started off lackluster defensively, but they've been hitting some shots in our faces on good defense. It won't be sustainable.

Also, 8 TOs is certainly contributing.

WOW refs!

[jpotter33]

How the crap is that a foul on PP? Harris had him bent over with a hand on his back.

[Vermont Green]

I liked that little mini press defense that they did. Forces them to up their intensity, some. Gives them a little something different to work on. Would like to see more of that.

[jpotter33]

I'd like to see more of JT off the ball where he can get more three point shots off the pass. He shoots a lot of three point shots off the dribble, but he's not all that efficient on those shots. I'd like to see him cut those in half and us have some other sets for him to get some spot up jumpers.

Turnovers and playing zero defense

 They are going to just screw around and lose this game

[jpotter33]

Tatum has to get a grip on these lackadaisical passes. Way too many turnovers for him this year off just poor, lazy passes.

[celticinorlando]

Defense trash

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

CAN WE PLEASE DEFEND THE 3?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

HOWITZER FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
