Lfg boys
Oh no, half the sub wants Embiid traded. I wonder how they will take this news
> a vision for the Sixers centered on Embiid.
Everyone here has been saying that we need to rely less on Embiid. Nurse says fuck that we going all in.
Lmao it’s clear no one here has actually watched Raptors games. This guy’s offenses are extremely ISO heavy. Not surprised at all.
Brook Lopez with a whistle is going to look so great in his defensive scheme
Tells me harden is out and Morey/Nurse have a vision for a post harden sixers that Nurse liked enough to not go to PHX to coach KD
I find it hilarious considering how much Nurse and Embiid shit talked each other. Gonna be a great ride.
This is going to be absolutely hilarious
I hope Harden stays now, Nurse has a record of elevating vets past their prime.
Harden walks and Nurse helps us sign FVV??
While I’m excited to get a new coach , Nurse runs isos a lot. His defensive acumen is great but offense leaves a lot to be desired
Thank god we finally fired doc!
Nurse knew better than anyone how to shut down Embiid. Now Embiid gets a chance to work with him to try to fix the deficiencies in his game that Nurse has exploited for years.
You play through your best player and Nurse has a great chance of making him even better than he already is. Anyone who thinks this is an L or that we shouldn’t be running through Embiid is wild.
Can’t wait to see our offense look exactly the same as every other playoff run
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could somehow bring in Mike D’antoni as a top assistant? Harden has had great success with him in the past.
I know some of you guys are saying this signals that we are moving on from Harden but I sincerely hope that isn’t true. A good mix of a defensive minded HC and an offensive guru backing him up would put this team in prime position.
