Sixers looked exhausted at the end. Even Redick was missing free throws. Had the Suns shown some spirit early on and fought through some bad calls they may have won this.

Payton has barely played and his PER is stinks.
He was our WORST player last year, there was no one who caused our offense to score less and our defense to allow more than when Payton was on the court.
Furthermore, because of the way NBA Bird rights work, we would have been stuck paying him almost triple what the Pelicans are.
And Bufalay... Len blows. He's been in and out of the Hawks rotation. Same trash player he was here. About once every 3 weeks he shows up, the rest of the time you only notice him because the ball is bricking off his hands or he's fouling out in 15 minutes of PT.

Why do they come out flat so often to start the game?

Duh, I was following a goofy fun fact with one of my own.

So I'll acknowledge the elephant in the room.....these season long first quarter disasters are a direct reflection on our coaching staff. Can't continue

Okobo is coming along well. Melton has taken a step back now.
Like I said the other day I was hoping to see a lineup with Booker, Bridges, Jackson together, and that combo really worked closing out, along with Ayton and Daniel's. Good D, and they had to respect Daniel's shot.

Igor doesn't even know what to do with Daniels.

That was a weird play when Okobo and Booker were parallel out of bounds trying to inbound the ball.
Someone yelled out something about it.
It was so distracting it gave Booker a good look at a three pointer.

Yeah, a little too good.
You mean the quarter where a coach's game plan, strategy and preparation mean the most?
Two words: Igor Kokoskov.

And to think you'd actually rested your case. Damn.

And Ayton had 2. Man that’s gotta start changing. And only Ayton can do it.

Booker yelled out "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" to Okobo.
seconds later he rushed a 30 footer
not one of his finer moments
the moment called for focus. not a scolding

Yeah, he got a couple of bad calls and non-calls early and just stopped being aggressive after that. Unfortunately, he responds like Warren does. I'd rather he get pissed and force the refs to start making calls for him and if he fouls out, he fouls out.

Agreed. Need to find a way to awaken his angry, his mean streak.

First thing I saw when I started watching the broadcast:
You must be registered for see images attach
Who was that directed at? Was there mention of it or did they cut away quick? I started watching at 3-13 with 8:00 or so minutes to go in the 1st quarter. Embiid played well in what I saw. I shut it off at halftime. Was hoping he wouldn't play but didn't think the Suns would shoot so poorly and also be on the wrong end of so many terrible calls.
That's what happens when you get no leadership from the coach.
Yeah, it's just the players' fault because every single player has decided to be terrible and regress all at once...

Please show me the stats to back up your statement that every player has regressed.
