Looking like 3rd seed and losing to Boston in 5 or 6 will be the end result

Already tired of watching George Niang over help for no damn reason leaving shooters open.

It's just a broken record, every game vs athletic rosters. Tucker and Niang are utterly useless, the bench getting beaten badly and Rivers is stuck in his ways and doesn't respond at critical spots in the game. The game is turning and Rivers rides a losing lineup until the lead is a problem.

Thing is, it's just not Rivers, this is laying bare the horrible job Morey has done with this roster, both starters and bench. There's no legitimate back up PG, there's no length or athleticism on the wings, if Rivers won't even attempt to use Reed at the 4, there's no rebounding or defense.

There is no other roster in the NBA so dependent on its star and just 2 supporting cast members. Without Embiid, Maxey and Harden, there are no other options that can be counted on.

3 starters, Harris, Tucker and Melton have COMBINED to score 23pts in 85 minutes. That's unacceptable.

Easily the most punchable face on any Philadelphia team and there's not a close 2nd. The fact that he won't do anything to improve his body makes me wanna drop kick that dude. He's too overweight to be even marginally effective and only against teams that allow him to shoot wide open stand still 3s. He's a turnover waiting to happen putting the ball on the floor.

He is a liability.

Bench is outscored 53-17.

Stop me if you've heard this before.
