My thoughts:
- impressed on how we’re getting Ws not relying on hot shooting. Just imagine how much better we’d be if the 3s are falling.
- fourth quarter maxey is a thing
- I’d trade Cade if Im the Pistons. He’d be better but I dont think he’ll ever be near as good as Luka Doncic like what they expected him to be. But I wont sell him cheap. Maybe try to get the package Jazz got for Donovan Mitchell.
- Another day at the office for Oubre, Tobi, Roco and Batum. Wing machine.
- We had total control of the game. I want to face the Celtics again.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

The team is gutted with injuries(6 rotation players)so you'll see a valiant effort, but will start to unravel in the 4th. Its happened 4(?) Times so far this season already.

Hopefully an injury free, good game.

Got any lottery numbers for me to play?
I wish. Just how the season has gone.

Team starts with energy, and because of the depleted team, they run out of gas.

Good game!


They are a young talented team , I like what I saw. Gonna give the the east some problems in the near future once the pieces start coming together.

What do you guys project your future starting backcourt to be ?

I’m pretty surprised that Oubre does more than score. Length on D and fits the Nurse defensive system with deflections and steals, plus gets his share of boards and attacks the rim. Even in a not great shooting night Kelly is contributing.

Imagine Maxey paired with a guard that occasionally got Tyrese an easy shot or two.


I would only play Morris to knock some guys around that are playing too frisky with our guys. Like those raptors players like to do. But I'm guessing NN insert him to up the physicality..

Kelly has been a huge bright spot he's bought in so far and hopefully he can keep it up. I notice he looses his man at times , but he's so versatile defensively when he's focused.

Maxey could use a guard that can play on/off the ball , and get him and other guys shots. We don't have a guard like that right now on the roster. Unless we're getting a top guard, there are some fill-ins who skillset will fill a need
Roles Guys: Bruce Brownjr- All around guard that can defend. Alec Burks- Combo guard that can put the ball on the floor and pass
Caruso- 3&D
Jalen Nowell- Scorer
Terrance Davis- shotcreator /defends
Quentin Grimes- Shooter with potential
Killian Hayes- Big pg can he play offball?
Lonnie Walker- Scorer, ballhandler
Coby White- Shotcreator
Jalen Suggs-All around/Defender
Ayo Dusunmo- All around comboguard

All of these guards would bring a skillset the sixers are missing from our guard group and can play on or off the ball for stretches next to Maxey.

That my friend, is a very good question. Monty is coming down hard on any player that doesn't give enough effort on defense, so Ivey is learning the hard way.

That definitely had the feel of a game the team would've lost in recent years. Instead of charging back and taking control, they would've remained flat and given it up. That suggests there is a different identity brewing here.

I think I saw somewhere that Hayes plays better against the Sixers than his usual standard but man I like his game. He's going to be a quality backup G for a long time in the league.

I thought Ivey was a better defender than both Cunningham and Hayes...

Oh boy. Ivey isn't even in the same league as Cade, and Hayes is on another level.

Ivey gets lost on rotations, goes under on screens on great shooters, and goes for steals way to often getting burnt, and blowing up defensive rotations.

Absolute disaster on defense.(right now)
