Knicks · Around the NBA 2024-25, let's do this!! (page 19)

Amid a 2-11 start that has them in last place in the Eastern Conference, and with their star trio of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey yet to play a game together, the Philadelphia 76ers held a team meeting following Monday night's 106-89 loss to the Miami Heat.

The loss to the Heat was the fourth in a row for the 76ers, sparking veteran guard Kyle Lowry to call for the meeting -- a much-needed heart-to-heart and a call to action and urgency, sources told ESPN, in which both players and coaches held each other accountable and took fault in the start to the season.

In the meeting, Maxey challenged Embiid to be on time to team activities, calling out the former league MVP about being late "for everything" and how it impacts the locker room, from other players to the coaching staff, sources briefed on the meeting told ESPN.

Yikes. Maybe don't trust the process.

I guess you need to mention Joel's dead brother in order to get any type of response. The guy isn't a winner and it has nothing to do with talent.

When is the last time the NBA leading rebounder also lead the league in ASSISTS AND 3pt PERCENTAGE?!!
Nikola Jokic at 13.7 - 11.7 - 56.4% in those cateogories, while 4th in scoring (29.7)!
WTF! It's astounding! Has a center ever lead the league in assists?

I think Wilt might've led the league in assists. Of course, there wasn't a three point line back the .

Not sure which path is better but he has a totally different method of getting players ready to compete at a high level.

FROM SHAMS:

Free agent guard Elfrid Payton has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, his agent Darrell Comer of Tandem told ESPN. Payton attended training camp with the Pelicans and now rejoins the team amid a wave of injuries. https://t.co/REROvFohX2

Right, or as a Knicks fan you would say: Thibs left his bench guy in too long and a 20 point lead near evaporated over a 6 minute period and then the minutes police would point out that the starters of White, Brown, Tatum had to play extra minutes because of this.

If Boston loses this game, it's exactly because of Queta's minutes.

Mazzulla also yanked Queta so hard in the 4th quarter on his second stint after 1:30 minute of play cause he fucked up so much.

PhilC?
Since he was a knick you said he'd never be on an NBA team.
Twice he has. Why condemn a man when you have no skin in it?

His perseverance is to be commended.

Wilt in '67.

Story was Wilt had some gaudy scoring seasons but the teams were not getting past Celtics and in defiance he decided to up his assists and ran off 3 consecutive MVP seasons. His scoring per game dropped but he led the league in total assists and rebounding.

Philly is trying to implement the anti 5-out lineup. Look at those numbers for 3pt%

Caleb Martin 29 13 12 33.6 .430 .325 .486 .487 5.6 2.5 11.0
Kelly Oubre Jr. 29 13 11 30.7 .407 .267 .490 .457 4.7 1.2 13.4
Kyle Lowry 38 13 10 24.2 .381 .354 .467 .516 2.2 3.4 6.2

Paul George 34 7 7 30.6 .396 .288 .510 .470 5.6 5.1 16.7

I think they should keep trying.
