Bit of a swipe block from Gobert there....

Jordan Clarkson finding his game in Utah was so unexpected for me

always liked the clarkson move

i think the bojan and clarkson pieces were nice rotation adds that moved the needle for them a bit. despite his awful game last night d mitch is has taken a small jump as well.

omg what did you type to find this gif? (Spottie) wrote this on thread 2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread on board I Love Hoops on Jan 15, 2020

the clarkson trade is playing out better than the conley trade for the jazz.

a good trade for the jazz i think. they need anyone that can even pretend to score and clarkson can do that. if he can hover at league avg from 3 on 5-6 attempts that will help the jazz a ton.

Apparently Michael Porter Jr still has drop foot. Perhaps the first nba player to play with it?

never even heard of this. seems insane that an athlete has it

:( per mayo clinic:

Overview

Foot drop, sometimes called drop foot, is a general term for difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. If you have foot drop, the front of your foot might drag on the ground when you walk.

Foot drop isn't a disease. Rather, foot drop is a sign of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem.

Foot drop, sometimes called drop foot

I call it droppy footfooty drop

jazz haven’t missed a shot in 45 minutes

feel like the refs (or at least zarba) might be tiring of jokics floppy bullshit

There was an nfl player who was able to overcome foot drop, maybe one other athlete I’ve heard of.

I think it’s also something that can go away. Anyway it’s amazing what he’s able to do with it. Wears an orthotic to correct it.

cant stop watching him run now

Theis going to foul out in 5 minutes at this rate.

i dont understand why theis doesnt shoot more threes when philly are leaving him wide open

foot drop sounds like something that should have been eradicated in the 1920s

That Tatum shot.

I hate Colangelo.

God, for the Sixers to win, Embiid has to be the best player in the series and that's going to be tough/impossible with the way Tatum is playing.

sixers def came into this game w/ a better idea of how to get clean looks but there's something poetic about them furiously trying to post their way into keeping pace w/ jayson tatum shooting pull up three pointers. 2 out of 3 possessions is a post touch for embiid, harris or horford... $90 million worth of fadeaways from the block

embiid just had that look like he just realized they cant win this series.

celtics are good

the sixers are getting punked, even allowing for the injury this is non competitive

i just don't understand like... embiid is clearly a great player. but how in 2020 does it make sense to spend 19 seconds every possession trying to get a post touch for your center? what am i missing?

they have no shooting and brown seems incapable of adjusting

This is exactly what I thought was going to happen.

sixers should let tatum have a few more wide open jumpers

the sixers effort on defense in this game has been absolutely atrocious

they don't pressure the ball, they don't get set, they're walking when the celtics are running right at them. we laugh at brett brown but this is the actual fireable stuff.

i'm like 20 minutes behind live but tobias harris just passed out of the post with kemba walker guarding him

Brown should be fired, but I'm going to assume they're going to use Simmons as an excuse.

they gotta fire him eventually

if the sixers get rolled and don't play any defense everyone will understand firing him

there's going to be a five-minute highlight reel of tatum walking into open jumpers by the end of this series

fire him after this game imo

there will be a demand for change and elton brand is going to fire himself

one thing that's becoming more obvious to me is that in addition to not getting in shape, embiid hasn't really worked on his game. his handle could be better. his post moves could be better. he could do some work to turn the ball over less.

Nah, Brand will trade Richardson for DeAndre Jordan.

xp

Can't have too many frontcourt players.

The sixers’ two best players can’t shoot and they’re trying to d’antoni Ball. Players need to change or the system needs to change.

embiid just not contesting 25 kemba pullups in a row was embarrassing

i turned on the game for about 3-4 minutes and had to flip it, sixers are unbearable to watch on a basic basketball level

yeah theyre not great

pretty much every decision philly made last season was cataclysmic

if ever there was a player people need to relax about--matisse thybulle, -30, 2 points, 0 steals, 0 blocks.

the tatum stopper

pretty much every team in the bubble is playing or has played w/o a really important player and that currently includes in the east playoffs indiana, boston, orlando, and brooklyn. and yet philly is the only team that is noncompetitive, looks like it has never practiced, has no idea what to do, nobody cares etc. the franchise needs a full overhaul, just terrible vibes.

worst playoff vibes so far have been philly and the lakers, only three days but i'm going to enjoy these three days

pretty reminiscent of boston last year vibe wise actually... i assume brett brown will be playing the role of kyrie irving. not sure that's gonna solve it tho

Brett Brown was a bad coach from day 1. They kept him because all the ways he found to lose close games were actually helpful to their overall plan.
