@@DigAPonyYlol the team was doing the same shit for the passed two years . Embied been leading the nba in points for a while .let him win more games than doc before we start the bullshit .
@@beankobe8205 Playoffs is what really matters. Good to see them off to a nice start and hopefully the only improve from here. But the litmus test vs Doc will always be what happens in the playoffs. They've had plenty of regular season success to your point.
I love nick nurse for planting people in the paint for rebounds on both ends. Under doc, they would float three pointers with the rest of the team staring at it beyond the arc. It was absolutely maddening. We have big guys. Get the damn ball rebounding.
Watching a NURSE run offense after years of Doc has shown me just how bad a coach can affect a team. I was so sick of his bullshit, his iso heavy , stand still offense, never playing anyone outside his 7 favorite players. It would infuriate me, it always felt like the sixers were playing with fewer minutes than every other team in the league.
Bro embied lead the nba in points last year and the year before . Y are you making shit up?? Philly was third last year and number 1 the year they had Ben Simmons . Are y’all just racist cause nurse is white?
Bro embied lead the nba in points last year and the year before . Y are you making shit up?? Philly was third last year and number 1 the year they had Ben Simmons . Are y’all just racist because nurse is white?
Exactly. Been saying this for years. He was just shoehorned into this 3-and-D role that never really fit but the guy he was in LA and Detroit never went away.
It's almost like players matter. If he had Ben with no JJ or Harden this would look exactly like it did in those years. It's not rocket science. You just copy what the good offenses do.
@@OwskiiiGamingbro the fucken fans last year was riding nick so hard . Saying he don't play our trash as fuck young players . It pissed me the fuck off . So glad nick and Fred are showing the dumbass rap fans the true value they brought
What Nick did in all those years for the Raptors was evidence enough that given the chance he could extract more from less from any prospective teams. That Griffin had issue with Stotts, an important assistant for building Lillard into a key piece, is such a bumpy start. Adrian is a Nurse understudy, hopefully it works out for him and the Bucks.
Anyone who watches basketball and understands what they are watching. Lol. This is why I kept telling Sixers fans they should want Haliburton not Harden two years ago

@beankobe8205 bro what r u even talking about.. their playing easy offense right now I said I can't wait for nurse to open up his play book more. How is that anything to do with black or white.. u gotta be trolling. R u racist? Cuz it sure sounds like it bruh. I just don't know where u bring in racist, ben simmons and embiid.. when I've said zero about any of that.
@beankobe8205 for sure I agree with u. all I was saying is I wanna see nurse open the play book up and see what he can do for the playoffs and prays for kelly oubre. I just don't understand how thats racist..
Would love to see the sixers grab a shooter like Hield or/and Bojan Bogdon for spacing; this addition won’t take the ball out of maxeys hands and gives embiid spacing; especially while Oubre & Batum is still out.
As a Raptors fan, this proves what I always said. Raps problem was always a roster construction one and overall FO lack of direction, not coaching. Throwing the best coach we ever had under the bus was criminal.
Nor that I am here to be a Doc defender but this offense was what Doc was running prior to the Harden trade. He did it with Ben the first year and again when Maxey had to take over the following year. We also saw it when everyone went down at the start of last season. Not having a ball dominate player like Harden opens up so much. The ball should have never been taken from Maxey. Harden should have been made to play off-ball. That is what Doc wanted from him but of course the breaded baby wouldn't adapt so now he in LA looking like a fool. With all that said, I do love what I am seeing from Nurse on both sides of the ball. I definitely feel as though we need to make a trade to get us over the top and believe Pascal should be the piece. I would hate to trade Harris based upon how he is playing now but someone has to be the sacrificial lamb. Maxey, Pascal, Joel and the depth pieces would be nice.
I think this is riding a bit of the shock factor right now. Teams have to rewrite game plans a bit and once they do sixers will prob be the third best team, although god the bucks look terrible. But I think you still need to play embiid off the court with uptempo. Which means you have to play good defense or else ur taking ball out of net and you won’t be able to push pace. You have to game plan maxey a lot more. And that will come. They haven’t really even forced adjustments from him yet. These two things will have a pretty dramatic impact I think.
@@RealKoolKid1 Not against the bigger stronger teams. He’s always struggled vs size. This is a dif maxey in terms of aggression for sure. But obv harden has something to do with that.
Great breakdown but at times i'm baffled by the defensive breakdowns. Look how easily harris gets to the rim, guys like durant just stand and watch. And guys losing their man on cute not able to stay in pistol stance. Thats just a lack of effort/focus
It’s also the fact that Tobi is a third option. Embiid draws so much attention, and now Maxey is a huge threat as well. Teams are just caught out of position so often
It’s probably so awesome cause Harden is no longer there to poison the team as he did w Okc, Houston and now clips.. being great on paper doesn’t translate to championship caliber on the floor
So that we R clear Daryl Morey ,drafted Maxey, an he's heart broken from James Harden's Kardashian pump fake, that he ain't see super save a franchise Maxey creeping, drops a 50 burger ( my man Romp ) and takes Morey's heart ❤, but we all know the great visionary Morey had eye's on the best Son in the world Maxey, when he said he won't trade him, sportscaster thought my man was on the perkies, an now the entire league is on RED alert notice, its Maxey season ( DJ Eastwood Merch on deck ). U gotta love when ur next chick is WAYYYYYY better then ur old chick. We got dumped but her friends still love our Ghost, RB Philly take was right we a team NOWWWWWWWW Ya'll. So now I need this 50 peace 2 unite the 3 horsemen and assemble the best Philly sports show on this jawn, Eastwood, RB and Romp. Let's get it your old G Eli From North Philly said So ask about ME!!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I mean it's alright, i won't call it awesome. Probably compared to that dumpster fire of an offense that Doc Rivers had maybe. It's pretty basic if you ask me compared to the Nuggets offense or even the Kings offense which both run through the big man.
It's awesome, not alright. Those 2 teams are historic offensive teams, along with the Pacers too this season. The Sixers are right behind those 3 teams offensively, I would call that awesome
It's not the most complex but it fits the team perfectly: it gives simple solutions to Embiid getting trapped, makes good use of Tobias' and Batum's strengths and trusts Maxey with his varied palette of skills Nurse is a problem solving coach: he uses systems and offensive schemes but will adapt them to his teams and his opponents rather than create a offensive philosophy and stick with it

Anytime a team supercharges their offense by going hard in transition it feels fake because in the postseason that shit goes away.
As a sixers fan you dont understand how amazing it feels to have a competent coach in the Embiid era for the first time
We definitely do

Great vid! It was insane watching Maxey and Embiid drop 87 points tonight.
So this is the difference a real coach makes. :D
This is the difference a functional roster makes.

Damn, i remember so many people shit on Sixers during the offseason. We can see how great as a coach Nick Nurse is.
Fantastic breakdown, surprised I'd never seen this channel before
Imagine that, removing an over-the-hill ballhog resulted in an efficient offense. Great breakdown!
crazy how suddenly great Nick Nurse appears when he get a roster, that actually has good shooters and a center.

Great breakdown, I'm want more about dribble drive. Who's using it in high level basketball.
Easy answer, cuz of Maxey

Top rate analysis you have a new fan
That was the most boring advertiser plug i've ever heard, Dude has the exact same personality as Squidward.
What websites do you use for those team stats?
NBA is learning to get rid of the Simmons and the Hardens and teams can actually win. Huge win for the fans.
First real coach the Sixers have had since Larry Brown
It looks like somebody has been checking out Denver footage👌🏾🤣
Thing is. Nick Nurse doesn't need to do so much now that he has embiid. He made the offense simple yet amazingly effective. What a beauty!
Great vid
As a sixers fan getting rid of Harden was like getting rid of a disease
A positive video on the Sixers?!?! I could cry rn

Side note, Get well soon Oubre
Yes Embiid and Maxey is key but Tobias Harris is the glue. IM telling you.
More great content
OK, the Sixers may be a really good team after all. I hope they can actually make some noise this year.

Finally smart basketball. They have the guys to do this and the coach...now that the, "system", went and had himself another major malfunction 😂.

Harden or not maxey is a fooking key
