Why is it that the only one we have pushing the pace is our rookie? Am I taking crazy pills? I remember that we used to get out and run last year. Where is that pace this year? Why do we walk the ball up or go for the home run pass every time. Can't we just MOVE THE BALL?

We hardly get stops anymore, which is when you usually push the ball.

You can always push.

Jaylen made a great push and then was yanked. What message does that send.

What great push?

Agree

He was gassed. He'll see more minutes.

When Jaylen grabbed the rebound and went the length of the floor. He missed the layup but it was a good quick push.

That nice take he had in transition. Good look, but just couldn't convert.

Stevens needs to run more plays for AB and Horford.

If that's the case then it's understandable. The kid never looks tired to me. I hope he gets some more time tonight. This is a good game for him.

If I'm a Sixers fan I'm looking at the Celtics as a nice collection of talent and happy that the Sixers got future top 10 players possibly in Embiid and Simmons.

Which leads me to thinking we better not trade the Nets picks because our team is no where close to contending.

Our new thing seems to be playing to the competition this year.  Though we fell into that habit at times last year, we mostly controlled the pace / tempo and it all started with defense.  I miss that.

He couldn't finish a simple layup.  He earned the bench.
