Welcome to the NBA Joan! Sixers @ Wolves GDT

Rocco time?!?

Rockets, Nuggets and Lakers have all lost a game coming out of the break. Too bad the Wolves could not take advantage of it.

Rudy’s baby brain cost us dearly tonight. Hope he apologized to his team yet again for his lack of commitment to them. If your going to take a flagrant make it count per usual. I guess he only punches his teammates.

Beringer has a significant issue with his confidence. One bad play then he spirals

Missing Rudy and Naz was huge obviously, but this was a terrible loss with Philly on a back to back and missing key players themselves.

Tough loss considering the task at hand

Same shit different day

Too bad Finchy doesn't have Gobert to blame for his defensive breakdowns in this one. Something tells me he won't be calling out his boy Randle.

While it’s true they played last night, they really shot the ball unbelievably well. We needed a poor shooting night from them to have a chance, but it wasn’t to be. On to the next game.

Abe's 1st Ever "Mid-Game DVR Review" DVR Review:

- JUST got caught up to real time since I forwarded at 3x speed through most of the 4th quarter...

- Wolves up 8 - 1 early... so why did it seem so sluggish or difficult despite having the lead? Maybe it just looks like the 76ers are better? Turns out it was a clear sign of things to come.

- Beringer and Randle both have 2 fouls early in this one... which... ummm... yeah... will pose problems against a team without its top 2 centers.

- Gotta say though, I don't know if Julius Randle cares about being out of the game with foul trouble. I also don't know if that's fair to him or not... but sorta like with Karl Anthony Towns, these cats have a reputation for very real reasons.

- It's very obvious that the 76ers are the faster team. More athletic team. And definitely more aggressive team. And they're on the 2nd end of a road back-to-back.

- Is Bones Hyland trying to play himself out of the rotation? Typically, the Wolves are in a good zone when they ball pops up court... with quick passes to 2 or 3 or even 4 players before even getting into any set. Well, Bones decided to look off TJ Shannon before dribbling and dribbling and dribbling into a deflected pass. And then took a stepback missed three. TERRIBLE basketball.

- How does a team playing super small struggle at dribbling and passing... and shooting?

- A timeout 78 seconds into the 2nd half makes a dodgy 1st half and slow start to the 2nd half seem... well... the way it's gonna go tonight.

- Yep. Such sloppy play. Inexcusable turnovers. I don't know if they mailed it in... but it's not a great look.

- Maxey is really good. Edwards is trying to ensure at least he gets his in the mini-game-within-the-game game being played by Ant and Maxey right now. And... Maxey is winning. Pretty definitively.

- Beringer's 1st start! Rocco's 1st appearance! Well... all I can write about that is... PLEASE DON'T GET SUSPENDED AGAIN RUDY GOBERT!!!!!!

Ayo a team-worst -25 in 28 minutes. Obviously the loss was a collective "effort", but still....

The Clippers game had a similar vibe with the new guy. It's like he's really struggling to find his role while trying to build chemistry with teammates. It's sort of a jumbled mess with him out there much of the time.
