Doc talks towards the beginning about how in time Joel and James will start to get their communication down on the pick and roll and once that comes they’ll be unbeatable. It definitely feels all the more pertinent now with that being one of the driving forces for our run we’ve been on.

Tyrese with the ball in an open court is dangerous as hell and it’s nice to hear that coming from Doc

I feel like Doc has been pretty pivotal in establishing a good culture and locker room for us. It really feels like everyone has been locked in and the team has a much more mentally tough this year than years in the past. Plus the way the team navigated the whole Ben saga, and Doc got everyone to stay bought in and focused together was pretty cool too.

This is why Doc is here. Not the Xs & Os, but the ego management.

Doc deserves credit for implementing this system. Obviously it doesn’t work without the immense talent that is Joel and James. But he established early on that there’s a pecking order and it starts with Joel and James. Everyone knows their role and thrives in it. Even through struggles from Harris or even Maxey being benched, there’s no complaining, no unnamed sources, no backdoor dissing. Just guys playing for one another.
And yeah, we’re seeing James and Joel click and see things with the same eyes these days. They’re getting everyone else involved. And using Maxey as a one man fastbreak at times. And it does feel like we’re borderline unbeatable.

I can’t get over how Harden is 100% engaged and listening in this. With the experience and achievements he has, he’s still completely coachable and open to adapting and learning.

Doc is a good coach. He may not be on the highest tier currently (top 5-8) but he’s not below average. A lot of his criticisms are dealt with an extreme benefit of hindsight, and many people erroneously propel coaches above him who have never made it to a stage that Doc has failed on.

The part where Harden says he can get Joel 8 points without doing “all that” is really obvious to see on the court. Joel’s increased his career high by a whopping 3ppg this year and he’s doing it on career high efficiency with the easiest looks he’s ever got.

Doc has a lot of flaws but he has a lot of strengths, too, which we forget or overlook those because of his failures.
He has established a winning culture, on a team that is tough and resilient, and that has defined roles. Doc helped put Joel Embiid in position to succeed by having him operate more form the elbow and the nail. His staff has also done a good job of developing and managing Tyrese Maxey throughout his career and his benching this season.
Plenty of negatives you could point to also, esp the development of younger guys and guys farther down the rotation. But I think the main stuff: overall team cohesion and focus, continued growth of Embiid in his prime, integration of James Harden, development of Maxey have all been good.
But he’s always been a good regular season coach. Playoffs is where this will all be tested.

Doc knows what the fuck he’s doing.
