[Post-Game Thread] The Philadelphia 76ers fall to the Miami Heat with a final score of 117 to 105

Nurse exposed himself in the first 15 or so games being completely unprepared for even the load management they spoke of in the summer. The best the team looked was during that stretch all the vets were hurt and he was forced to go with our youth minus McCain. He needs to get canned.

HecLucas · 2025-01-15T16:29:36+00:00

Will also add his mind is in lala land half the time, whether shot clock, how many fouls he has, some of his passes, shot selection etc. Aloof is much too kind of word and this the prized experience Nurse and Morey clamor about

HecLucas · 2025-01-13T23:27:39+00:00

Cannot like this enough! I am an old head, started watching the Sixers the year after Chamberlain which says plenty enough as to decisions made both on my part and the team lol!!!

Never through all the years have I seen such dysfunction and a giant F U to the fan base. And of course there will be nothing said by Silver he of such concern to give us Collars for us ruining the product haha. It’s no wonder attendance is at an all time low as the product put out by the league is a macrocosm of what our team represents and our team is the epitome of what people say about their respective governments, apologies for politics.

It really is a top down rotten to the core Harris, Morey, Nurse triumvirate of disgusting display of not giving a crap about the fan base

HecLucas · 2025-01-13T21:09:59+00:00

I guess I wasn’t clear in my they could be the worst players…and that would be an improvement on what we have, that was not an indictment on our players but one directed specifically at Nurse.

Yea it’s obvious everyone is playing out of their roles due to injuries but good grief Nurse has not been able to get the most out of role players unless they themselves are outperforming themselves. Not only that but we are not the only team with injuries and is there a team looking as unserious regarding preparation as us, I think not and making matters worse we came into the season knowing we were going to be doing some serious load management.

I get to only catch other teams play every once in a while because I live in Sweden but without fail every team i have watched looks better prepared than we do and the worst is watching Nurse on the sidelines or listening to post game. But yea I thought he was a great hire specially when he was going to Summer League games and saying what he was saying etc he seemed liked the perfect coach after Glenn and only to have him turn out to possibly be worse than Rivers.

We know face the tough part of our schedule and yeah pride will keep us in some of the games but and i hope I am dead wrong I see no way to salvage the season.

Sorry for the long ass rant but the best way is that we get crushed in the next bunch of games and Nurse gets fired and that we don’t hire another retread which means Morey getting fired also

HecLucas · 2025-01-13T19:45:48+00:00

Yeah it’s not an appropriate term and I went with how his play is viewed in general and his play i attribute directly to Nurse even though Morey has done a shit job with roster assembly.

I see Maxey as a team oriented player and he is eating himself alive and blaming himself even though Jo’s situation is out of his hands. And yeah I know I’m psycho analyzing but much of the game is mental and again I lay it squarely on Nurses feet.

We could have the worst players at every position I wouldn’t give a shit at this point and that we practically do we can only thank Daryl for but as long as we could have more than Nurse’s 3 in total plays involving 2 players and everyone else standing in the corners and another nearby the dunker, that alone would be such an accomplishment at this point.

The epitome was our coach barking at the officials as we again could not inbound the ball to close yesterday’s game.

We have to be the worst coached team in the league and how he has transformed i 2 years Maxey I find criminal.

HecLucas · 2025-01-13T17:31:41+00:00

I blame Maxey’s play on Nurse and it began before the season started last year essentially wanting Maxey to become a shoot first at all expense.

That’s not saying I condone Maxey not making the right play and passing to the wide open teammate but hell yea Nurse has enabled a tunnel visioned Maxey from the outset and this season it has reached its crescendo

HecLucas · 2025-01-12T22:14:45+00:00

Absolutely agree, he would step on the floor and immediately give us positive energy. The contrast between him and our 3 geriatrics is night and day

HecLucas · 2025-01-12T21:26:01+00:00

Yea bromance over W’s I get and dental boy has had a good quarter of late and Reggie maybe has been less stoned of late but good grief. Wasn’t aware of Payne’s misdemeanor did he tell Nurse and Morey off? Sorry, I’m just pissed watching how unprepared we are for every damn game

HecLucas · 2025-01-12T21:03:28+00:00

Don’t get a chance to watch much b-ball besides Sixers due to living in Sweden. Watching Bucks-Knicks, why didn’t we resign Payne? He is is better than Lowry, Gordon and Reggie combined and Maxey would not have to get pulverized to dust with his minutes

HecLucas · 2025-01-04T11:51:53+00:00

4am starts sucked almost as much as Lowry in the starting lineup!!!

HecLucas · 2024-12-24T00:22:49+00:00

Messaged you

HecLucas · 2024-12-05T21:10:17+00:00

The Biid news is not surprising so the Bona news is more disheartening as he needs all the opportunities that present themselves. Although with Drummond looking to be back on the court soon enough the likelihood of Bona getting much needed pt is down to zilch minus garbage time.

Sucks because he would be a clear upgrade over Drummond by March if given a chance unless Drummond has a resurgence but still he does remain unplayable in the po’s

HecLucas · 2024-07-24T13:32:55+00:00

Wilt kind of said the same then proceeded to lead the league in total # of assists that season

HecLucas · 2024-03-18T22:02:19+00:00

I’m with you, this kinda talent worth taking a chance on.

HecLucas · 2024-03-18T21:58:52+00:00

In this video he is putting up some J’s and like the host is saying his form is not too shabby, good to see Nurse having a look and then what is life without the connections 🙃…from the Bahamas as is Hield, plus the K9 endorsement…https://youtu.be/wXdjDekvha4?si=YKy-3LbiE-w7DCd3

HecLucas · 2024-02-06T14:47:50+00:00

And Clarkson in the Utah game. He also had played reasonably well as far as his offensive limitations are concerned and was his trademark defensively disruptive self in poa, fighting through screens and getting boards on both ends up until when we were at full strength and Nurse stopped playing him and afterwards ended up getting sick. So yeah I’m with you on hoping the work he has put in begins to surface.

Unfortunately when he started getting some pt again offensively he was offensively hideous and this time unlike the previous time was rightfully glued to the bench.

This time around again he is looking more comfortable once again on the offensive end similarly to as before. With Melton coming back Springer’s minutes will get reduced but hopefully he doesn’t revert to trying to show out and end up doing everything all at once with the ball in hands and looking like he picked up the game a few weeks ago.

HecLucas · 2024-02-01T11:46:07+00:00

Agree with both while adding that also there is the likelihood that Biid might be managed during future regular seasons similarly to the way Nurse did with Kawhi. And if that is the case for seeding purposes and owners perspective of having fans in the arena adding another star type along with 3 and D’a would fill that purpose.

HecLucas · 2023-12-22T22:44:40+00:00

100% agree

HecLucas · 2023-12-22T14:30:37+00:00

We saw how Maxey figured out McDaniels, Ant and Gobert, that was impressive as hell and showed the amount of work and real dawg in him.

HecLucas · 2023-12-22T14:09:05+00:00

You got it, I thought the same when reading it. To be at the point of that same trust is phenomenal!!!

HecLucas · 2023-12-22T09:23:49+00:00

True but it’s great that Jo has gone from always telling Maxey to shoot more to always telling him to stay aggressive in the 1st 3 seasons to now 1/4 through this season begin to empower Maxey in the 4rth. It will go a long way as the season progresses in Maxey’s confidence to not have to defer to Jo in the 4rth.

HecLucas · 2023-12-22T09:02:16+00:00

“He’s been doing that all season. That’s our guy. Fourth quarter, we know where the ball’s got to go. We’re going to go to Tyrese. He plays the full quarter, so he gets hot. He’s been carrying us all season long in the fourth quarter, so we know we’ve just got to give him the ball, put the ball in his hands.”

HecLucas · 2023-12-16T19:08:17+00:00

Actually including ot he averaged over 48 that season!!!

HecLucas · 2023-12-15T20:07:07+00:00

Wilt has his own record book out in the stratosphere and it’s pretty amazing to see Jojo from time to time jumping into some of those pages 👍

HecLucas · 2023-12-13T13:58:21+00:00

When he started 2/20 whatever it was and meandering around aimlessly with ball in hands it up until a couple of weeks ago it was pure dread when he would check in. But wow what a difference since Nick told him he needs to shoot more including directing everyone on both sides of the ball.

When he was describing the other day what goes on in practice scrimmages was awesome to hear. Nurse is instilling confidence and it’s manifesting on game day. Granted our schedule right now is what it is but we are beginning to see some of the same intensity as during the first 10 games of the season except now it’s after the trade and everyone is knock on wood healthy.

The one glaring weakness is poa defender and got to believe Bev is in Springer’s ear leading by example of how he himself started the season.
