| Immanuel Quickley stared at the court. In front of him stood his new teammates, his new coaches. Excitement welled up inside him. It was his first practice as an NBA player—as a New York Knick. Quickley had dreamed of being here ever since he was a fifth-grader playing rec ball, back when his mother and coach, Nitrease, told him to take it easy on the other kids. “I’m going to need you to not take the ball from them,” she told him one game during a timeout. Quickley returned to the court and snatched the ball from the player he was guarding. He was just as persistent that fall afternoon in 2020, as his first Knicks practice began. The coaches quickly divided up players for teams. But when they got to Quickley, they handed him a green-colored jersey, which signified that he would be relegated to the third—and potentially even fourth—practice squad. Green? Really? |
I have no ill will towards the 76ers, Phillies, or Flyers. Obviously I'm leaving one team out...:-)
& I personally like Embiid. He's a tremendous talent-when healthy-& seems to give a damn on a night to night basis.
Or when he brings it up he immediately dishes and goes to the corner, right now he is shooting the 3 well so that is a positive but it will be an adjustment for him..
Fournier and Randle already have a 2 man game and Fournier can crrate for himself, i think his adjustment is the easiest because he is used to playing off the ball and is comfortable doing it..
Rj i think has the biggest adjustment, he has to realize that he has to wait for the game to come to him, when he has the open shot take it, dont hesitste, but stop dribbling into 3 people and forcing. If the defense collapses pass it out, this is where he becomes a robot, he stsrts to drive he puts his head down and forces up a bad shot..
Randle needs to learn he has more options on offense, if your shot is off, it is ok to facilitate for others and get them in the game. He needs to lesrn that aspect of being the stsr, at the stsrt of games get the others involved and get them going before he takes over
Yep
Yikes. Let's end that shit tonight.
Burks needs to step up his game btw. I wouldn't mind giving Grimes an opportunity to earn some of those minutes.
I’m excited to see how a bulked up Mitch fares against Embiid. Just be a fun watch
Mitch can’t go for all his fakes.
The texts last season during 76ers-Cs game...EVERY other was along the lines of, 'WTF? How was that called a foul? Embiid gets treated with kid gloves.'

Better pray they are hitting their shots because they would get destroyed on the boards

If Robinson gets into foul trouble early, i go small and make Embiid chase Toppin or Randle around the court

Yeah, Mitch can't afford to get in foul trouble...which I worry about because Embiid, as noted above, gets a ton of calls. Some deserved, some completely UFB like.

I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't get into foul trouble. Hopefully Gibson can hold his own.
Morey has always been a star chaser. He’s probably dead serious because I can’t ever see him being the one to give up a star without getting one back. His ego won’t allow it.

Speaking of 76ers, I laughed when I heard Morey go on Philly radio & tell their fans this could go on for 4 years, the length of Simmons' contract. Haha. That'd be both extremely amusing & odd.

Yep. He's terrified of trading Simmons and not having the ammo to get Dame or whoever the next star is that becomes available. Should've just ponied up and put Maxey in the Harden deal and now it seems like he's overplaying his hand as this goes on. Although he's pulled a rabbit out of his ass before (Chris Paul deal) so who knows.
he needs to stay just spotting up
off to a terrible start yeah 2 3s but 4 turnovers
Imagine pr8me rose with this shooting Rose.

Good sign

He's trying to do too much.
It’s a little depressing to even think about - better luck with injuries and he would’ve been a Legend with a capital L.
Playing but banged up.
