Someone explain to me how Daryl Morey was fired by the Sixers after six years, taking the Sixers further than we’ve gone under Weltman, yet Weltman still has a job after 9 years of being either outright bad or mediocre? We should not have lost that series the way we did. Had this guy made even one decent move on the margins we’d have been able to weather the Franz injury. My sadness isn’t just from losing and watching Detroit play against a very beatable Cleveland team, but also from the fact that Weltman still has a job and I have zero confidence in his leadership

I think it would be huge mistake to get rid of Suggs this offseason. Yes, he had a bad series. But every statistical model shows we are better with him than without. I think it would be prudent to see if the new coaching staff can install a controlled offense and see what he does. If he still performs terribly, then he can go.

The only players in NBA history to:

• average more than 5.5 3 point attempts per game
• in their first 14 playoff games
• with a worse 3 point % than Suggs (.265)

are Gilbert Arena, Evan Fournier and Isiah Thomas.

The only player I could find who was somewhat close to Suggs and eventually improved their playoff career 3 point % was Donovan Mitchell:

• First 14 Playoff games - 7.6 3pt Attempts per game at .308
• Playoff Career - 8.9 3pt Attempts per game at .350

I am not advocating trading Suggs or saying he is trash.

The data seems to suggest he is unlikely to become respectable 3pt threat in the playoffs.

I am open to being wrong or critiques of my analysis.

That's it. That's the title. Everyone needs to go.

20 straight missed field goals. Do you know how bad of a choke that is? Up 60-38 at the half and now we're about to lose because we can't hit a shot. This is an awful team. Nobody here can convince me otherwise. Everyone needs to go.

Former Teammate of Desmond Bane, Brandon Clarke, passed away today at the age of 29. He was currently playing for the Grizzlies and close friends with Bane. Cause of Death has not been released. R.I.P. Brandon Clarke (mods even if he doesn’t play for us can we show some respect?)

AB has played well with the starters, can create his own shot better, and wouldn't give up too much on defensive end. Meanwhile, Suggs could fit the combo-guard spark plug role off the bench, maybe a little more suited to his chaotic nature.

The sub has been nothing but trade talks, am I the only one who wouldn't mind seeing this roster run it back with the new coach? Maybe a small move around the edges like moving JI contract for vet depth off the bench, but that's it.
