Yup, that small ball lineup bs ain't working for us. Just put Bam at the 4 and Ware at the 5 and see how we do.

We're not the Heatles, nor the Warriors death lineup.
Sounds like it’s here to stay for now so hope it goes well

Sure the Lakers have a heavily flawed roster and have to play perfectly while also having big games from both Lebron and AD to win, but the real reason they keep losing games is those ugly ass LakeShow jerseys.

1-8 when wearing them. Take that for data

I knew the comeback was not coming when I switched the game on once the Bills game ended. Sunday should be the whites, but they were on the road. Anything but those LakeShow jinxes lol.

They are just following your brilliant plan for the regular season.
They didn't. Embiid was supposed to get 6 months of rest.

This is your plan. Use him just enough to keep him hurt. That's what you're seeing. That's what you would have done.

You are right.

They have actually played Embiid a lot more than you want them too.

7-6 with Embiid, 8-20 without

This is not a playoff team without Embiid.

If he's hurt making the playoffs doesn't matter. You remain clueless on the topic.

No, I get that perfectly fine.

No guarantee he gets hurt playing.

It is a guarantee the 6ers miss the playoffs if he doesn’t.

You trying to call anyone clueless is hilarious though.

That's the problem though.

If he doesn't play, they don't make the playoffs, but at least he's healthy enough to enjoy his vacation.

If he does play, they make the playoffs, but based on his history, he won't be healthy enough to get them to the finals.

I assume that getting PG was supposed to give them enough to get to the playoffs while resting Embiid...but he's almost as injury prone as Embiid.

Jovic avg 10/4/3 and shooting 37% from 3. I like him a lot for a late first round pick

...and he was arguably even better last season in fewer minutes statistically. Does he slot more at the 3 or 4? Who is blocking him from more PT, Jacquez and Jimmy?

I don't think anyone is blocking PT from him at this point as they use him more as the backup 4. Only guy I can see possibly is Highsmith now since they just made a starting lineup change

He is at 28 MPG this month which is a ton for a bench player so hope they continue to play him that much

I think he fits better with OKC.

Cleveland already has better versions of what he brings. OKC’s depth is more defensive role oriented than offensive.

I just don’t think the Thunder need him but of course it all comes down to what they have to give up. Isaiah Joe is filling it up since this talk started.
