Oubre looked in the circle on White's drive too

QUETA!

Boy, it's almost like we shouldn't have started a lineup that has played zero seconds together this year?

[jpotter33]

God, I seriously hate Embiid. What a soft, sad player.

Oubre flops just as much as Embiids trash behind

This is who the team is. They shoot threes, because they've never (even when Tatum is healthy and at his peak) had that truly elite can't be stopped offensive player.

Again, they have ONE guy who can pressure the rim. ONE on the entire team when Tatum is out.

Agreed. This is what the roster is. This is how the team has been built. To play this strategy.

This is not Mazzula-ball. This is Stevens-ball.

It is absolutely, 100% Mazzulla Ball and has been for the past four years. We shot 60 threes in game 1 of the Knicks series last year with a significantly improved roster that wasn't just three point shooting role players. This has absolutely been the ridiculous theme we've seen every year since 2022 when he took over.

It's both. It's one organization, they aren't operating independently. Brad knows the type of player Mazzulla wants and supports that approach. For better or worth its what both want.

Joe's master plan.

It's almost like good things happen when you dont force threes...

Embiid softest 300 pound seven footer in the NBA

It's both.  It's definitely Mazzula ball.  He has the power to call plays, to draw up ATO plays, and to coach them into a more aggressive offense that at least gets the ball towards the paint to get it to shift.  You can post JB.  You could post Vuc, and also Tatum when he's healthy.  But he'd rather have subpar 3 point shooters take step back 3's, iso 3's, early shot clock 3's.  It's Mazzula ball.

If your strategy is "Post up Vuc" you've already lost. Literally just don't play the game at that point. I would rather shoot 60 threes and miss every one then post up Vuc to win a series.

Im not referring to this series.  Vuc has been unplayable here.  And no, we haven't already lost.  He's an efficient low post scorer with good passing skills.  But he's been a perimeter player here, because Mazzula ball.

LETS GO JB!!

JAYLEN!
