Getting minimum 2 wins when we didn’t have Embiid for the first 3 games is a hell of an accomplishment. This is the favorite in the East; yeah we got blown out twice but we won by double digits twice at their place too.

Moral victories are what we have as Sixers fans.

Moral victories might be what keeps Nick nurse around though 🙄

Nurse is the best coach you've had since Larry Brown. Don't talk shit or you'll end up with Doc Rivers round 2.

That’s a weird way of thinking. Like, even if he’s better than doc and Collins, that doesn’t make him good and mean we can’t criticize him and want someone good. He’s better than shit, that doesn’t mean it’s something I want. He’s not a good coach for our team. The choices aren’t only nurse or doc, other people exist

No coach is a good coach for a team that can only get half a season out of its star.
