he's not a POA defender at this stage...not sure why Nurse is using him as one


Hopefully Nik is just experimenting because this ain't it.

Reed has an IQ of 12. We can't keep blaming the coaches for his lack of playing time guys.

Love me some BBall but getting benched was warranted for his play lately.

or at least see what Bamba has if nothing else.

Playing Mamba and Morris when you need rebounds sounds like a great idea...

we don't even need Morris' "skillset" either....doesnt rebound. doesn't defend. doesn't move off ball really. He is a worse Tobias...and Tobias' skillset already is a rough fit

Reed has proven to be a good backup in the playoffs IMO. For the first time, last year the non Biid minutes in the playoffs wasn't death.

Wasting resources on what would be a 10 minute a game at best position is a waste

Biid playing against two weak Cs in the last 2 games. Gafford and Capela.

Capela should retire already. He doesnt seem interested to play anymore

need to know how Maxey is 200lbs because a screen makes him seem like he weighs 100lb
