I don't get this picture

Ignoring the previous 3 seasons, where this looks much better for the Sixers with the Harden stats, just this season:
Curry -0.9 BPM, 0.4 VORP, -0.7 RAPTOR
Drummond 1.4 BPM, 0.8 VORP, 1.8 RAPTOR
Simmons 0 0 0 0 0
Harden 4.0 BPM, 2.5 VORP, 1.6 RAPTOR
Millsap -3.1 BPM, 0.1 VORP, NA
I tend to think Harden will recover from his hamstring fairly quickly, but Simmons getting back up to game speed will take more time. And if he couldn't deal with Embiid, IDK how he's gonna deal with Durant and Kyrie.
Sixers will have to do the same, maybe Deandre Jordan or Tristan Thompson. With the Montrezl move, I don't know if the Wiz want to part with him, but I'd look at Thomas Bryant too.

I wouldn't like it but it's a decent trade. Poeltl is going to get a nice contract next year.
The Spurs traded Derrick White to the Celtics for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, and a top 4 protected 2022 first. Hell yes! Of course, I've got ESPN's trade deadline show on the background and they haven't mentioned it at all.
So right now, the Spurs have their own pick (projected #6), Celtics pick (#18), and Raptors (#20). And Derrick White's 4/70 is off the books through 2025. Wow. That frees up the money to pay Poeltl something in the 4/80 range.
i think doc is a pretty good coach. his team are pretty much always good. i think the playoff stuff is overrated, but do agree his coaching style is not as effective in seven game series. i think ty lue is also a good coach.
This. Me and apetit watched pretty much every clips game. I don't ever recall thinking coaching was a problem. Unfortunate injuries to CP3/Blake were. And the occasional donk play like gm6 vs OKC had nothing to do with doc.
so he gets credit for the wins and not the losses?
it's easy to gloss over the fact that doc was GM, too, so he was making personnel and coaching decisions during that time.
he also killed lob city by publicly throwing blake and dj under the bus (just like he did to BS, for that matter)
fortunately, he got fired after pulling that shit with PG
the best season of Doc's coaching, imo, was the season after everybody left. Gallo, Lou, Trez, etc. that team played better than any lob city-era Doc team.
which series losses in the playoffs for the Clips are you attributing to Doc and why? Sounds like you're just shitting on doc with #feelings
and he sucked as GM when that was his role too
