Y'all funny....


They want superstars off the bench.  I’ve learned nothing is good enough, even Joel to some people. 

This is like the bench 1st or 2nd bad game all season, plus we won and they played well second half.  They actually built a lead and the starters lost it.  Like wtf are y’all watching.

We’re a little young but, we are talented. We have playmakers, shooting, defense and rebounding off the bench. 

Give them a chance to show consistency, COVID set us back 2 weeks.

The last 3 games since Kork was inserted. Now, I'm not saying its on him or +/- is highly accurate. But it tells a story:

Bostone Game One, Our Starters: +56  Their Starters  -51 Our Bench -16, Their Bench +11
Boston Game Two, Our Starters: +59, Their Starters  -52, Our Bench +1, Their Bench -8
Detroit Game One, Our Starters: +62, their Starters -32, Our Bench -42, Their Bench +14

Kork's ON/OFF is an astronomically bad -20.

In the 12 minutes he's play with Ben and Joel, we're still a net negative.

Even last year in 238 minutes played with Ben and Joel, we were a net negative.

Maybe with a little more development he can be a decent basketball player.  But he's still far from that.

If he's not hitting 3s on volume at a high rate, he has no reason to be on that court.

hey- don ohl was a 5x nba all star. korkmaz won't ever sniff an all star game. he also averaged 26 ppg in an epic playoff series

It was suppose to be a joke, but you took the bait.  Just a name from the past.

Unless there playing him up to trade him, Doc sees something a lot of us don't see.

I don't see any bias against rookies.

Doc started Maxey in Curry's absence despite the analytics telling him that it was a bad fit.  Maxey failed miserably when given that task.

Matisse is now getting minutes despite being a complete zero on offense most nights.

Kork who is actually younger than Matisse is being force fed minutes.

Bradley and Reed are big downgrades over Embiid and Howard.  Hard to justify given them minutes when all hands are on deck.

Maxey seems to have been relegated way down the bench last few games- hope it’s temporary.

He started the season only getting like 8-10mpg, then COVID and injuries came and he got more.  He got 20min in the 1st back to back blowout loss to CLE, then the next time he got 15+mins were in blowout wins vs ORL and CHA.  When the team was fully healthy he was avg about 10-15mpg.  Thats about what he's getting now.
