Ok Morey, not a bad start
Let’s gooooo, I’m back in boys!
Good start! Get that shit done Morey
Yeah Harden is gone
I honestly really think I like this
I will die for that man
Great hire, now to get rid of Tobias.
Sixers 2024 champs I seen the script
We’re back!
Doc to Nurse LOLOLOLOLOL
From a Doc to a Nurse. Maybe soon we’ll get out of the hospital
I love it
Let’s do MDA lead asst
I have a lot of comments about this man to delete

Awesome, looking forward to seeing this sub come up with an excuse to fire him when Joel gives up during the second round next year.
Not today, friend.
Can’t wait to see an actual offence again.
holy shit a real head coach
Before people complain, yes we have a lot of roster shuffling and decisions to make. But coaching was something we absolutely had to address, and I think we got by far the best proven coach on the market and that’s a great start
Ok I like it
Never did I think I’d be so happy about hiring Nick Nurse
Embiid about to be playing 48 minutes under Nurse
Aight I’m back 🤞
Raptors fans 9/11
what an upgrade, we might be in ship shape once a tobi trade goes through
HELLOOOOOO NURSE
Great! Almost makes me believe again. 😬
The best proven coach available, not bad. Maybe he can get Embiid to lock in mentally all of the time.
His best work imo was with the raptors the year after they won it all, when they lost kawhi and green and still took Boston to the brink and won like 58 games or the equivalent in a short year. That team locked in on both ends of the ball and *competed*
Don’t let this give you hope
Ladies and gentlemen. We got him
LET’S GOOOOO
Sixers try not to go after big name coaches challenge
He’s annoying as hell but probably the best option
impressive, very nice. now let’s see the free agency
Hot damn!
Never ever complained about this man in my life.
If he’s as bad as Doc I’m suing for malpractice
Smart hire! I actually wanted Mike D’Antoni as a former Suns fan, but I think most fans would have hated reuniting the Harden Rockets staff.
Nurse, as one of the ringer guys put it, is defensive Mike D’Antoni. Idk how much more dynamic he’s going to make your offense (see Toronto offense since Kawhi left) but at the same time Toronto had little 3 point shooters these past 4 years.
Isn’t this good? Why do I see some people on twt complaining?
Guess i should stop calling him the Canadian Thibs now lol
He is the best of the available options; but I really hope he brings in a top assistant who can implement a modern offensive built around ball movement, cuts, off ball screens and 3s. Harden especially but Embiid too are ball stoppers. If we end up keeping Harden it better be under fucking stood that he has to acquiesce to the coaching staff not the other way around.
Nick Nurse in 2024 on what it took to get Joel Embiid properly locked in and lead the Sixers out of the second round:
“I just told him, respectfully, to stop bitchin.”
I already foresee the terrorist lineup of Melton Springer McDaniels Reed Embiid. I need it.
I LIKE THIS!!!!!
I like it
Woo let’s gooo
Now bring Sam back as assistant coach pls
