Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

I didn't read any pre game notes. Is PJ Tucker hurt? Or did they just give him the day off?

His left ankle is sore.

[Mitchell Duong]

Poeltl has had a great game by the eye.

[JamesNaismith]

Starting SF Jacob Poeltl to the rim lol

We have WAY too many guys who cannot finish with contact. Norman, Wright, Jakob, Carroll. That isn't going to bode well for the playoffs. But thankfully most of them will be getting very few minutes or no minutes at all.

[JamesNaismith]

Personally hoping our bench can play the bulk of the mins up until the last couple of games, then hopefully Kyle can get somewhat back in rhythm.

He has a sore knee but I have a feeling he didn't play mostly because its Philly we're playing. If we were playing a good team he probably would play. Well at least thats what Im hoping because we cannot afford for him to be legit injured.

[Mitchell Duong]

Well some of those guys are not going to play much in the playoffs anyways.

In fairness 3 of those guys are rookies or 2nd year guys... 2 who aren't near strong enough....
Carroll does have his issues around the rim though..

It's super disappointing that Powell isn't better at finishing considering how physically strong and fast he is.

We're still playing a few teams fighting for positioning so I doubt we are going to get away with playing mostly our bench. Especially if Tucker sits out a few games.

[Mitchell Duong]

Bring in Bruno but Bebe can sit.

[JamesNaismith]

Happy to see Bebe is still NOT getting time lol sorry not sorry...

Agreed. He is already strong enough to me that he should be able to finish through contact better. It always shocks me when he misses so many easy layups. Yea he does get hit a bit but he doesn't get hit hard enough that he should miss those.

That's true but we cant afford that in the playoffs with how hard points are to come by. But most of them wont be playing so it is what it is

yeesh.. every time I think wright is making progress he pulls a brain cramp like that.. .running out before he even lays a hand on the ball.. its not the NCAA Delon.. there are big fast strong players everywhere...if your waiting for the ball to make it to you instead of going to get it your going to be sorely disappointed every time that happens..
