Pat Bev fouling at this point is hilarious after he spent almost 20 seconds hunting for Horford when we needed an immediate shot to have a chance. Not that we had much chance anyway, but we didn't have those 20 seconds.

Tobias completely disappearing down the stretch. Only one three pointer taken all night.

That is just embarrassing. Awful. Pathetic.

Hot take: The Sixers played better tonight without Embiid and Maxey against the Celtics then they would have with Embiid and Maxey.

Hiding in the corner every play. Those two bricked free throws were the perfect Tobias finishing touch.

My favorite part about discussing the DeRozan trade is the part that he operates in the same areas as other players on our team.

Aside from Maxey and Embiid, there are zero players on this team that can finish anywhere inside of ten feet. Cov, Melton, and Tobi consistently get blocked or have zero touch around the rim when at all contested.

I cannot believe i'm gonna say this but.... Pat Bev is a keeper if he can stay at the level he has played the last 4 or 5 games.

We should also go on a mini streak with our schedule. Team also is gonna be healthy again

That's a tough loss, but a great effort from our guys. I get it...No moral victories in this league, but that was so much fun taking them to the brink.

Sadly, I think it's time that I admit that a hope is growing within me that Tobias moves on after this season. He's a pro, and he's been awesome for us at times, but this dance is over with him after this season. Can't do this anymore.

Real talk. After his hot start to the season, he's looked terrible. I don't see any point in re-signing him, so might as well use his contract now for a Derozan-type.

We need another legit ball handler which is no disrespect to Pat Bev, he’s more of a small two guard who is a secondary guy handling the ball. More like Melton than anything.

Getting a true bench point guard and keeping Pat Bev are not mutually exclusive things.

That game is a nice summary of Tobias Harris Sixers career. Doesnt come through when they need him. I was embarrassed for him after Horford blocked him twice in a row.

What do you mean by this? DeRozan is a mid-range player. He always has been. I personally think he'd be great here. I may have just read this wrong, but do you think he'd fit good here? I definitely take him over LaVine.

Totally agree but if he's gonna drive to the rim and be effective on his floaters he can come off the bench as a wing.

I’ve been advocating for us to take him. I find the argument that he occupies the same spots as Embiid (and I guess Tobias) to be silly.

No doubt, he's also got underrated skills as a playmaker from his days in San Antonio. Would give us a secondary ball handler and creator on the floor. There's a lot to like there. His age sucks, but he's not exactly slowing down from what I've seen.

Moral victory!

Also Tobias is addition by subtraction, been obvious for years.

“But we can’t downgrade in talent!”

RoCo and Batum aren’t as talented as Harden, yet the team is better.
