I know some people are blaming Brett Brown for the three loses ( which i can kinda see) but i don't see why people want to see him go.  He did lead them pretty damn far.  Hopefully they at least don't get swept.

agree it's not his fault his two best players have mostly sucked.  Simmons missed dunk and the last pass were plays that just can't happen.  And Embiid needs to get in better condition.

I still think the coach needs to go for all the above mentioned reasons.   I do believe that @The Juggler is right about being one player away.  Get one more hard nosed vet in there and that will go a long way.

So the coach needs to go because Simmons and Embiid have not played well and they're one player away? What kind of sense does that make? None. 

This team is a year ahead of schedule and got further than anyone thought they'd go. Coaching plays a huge part in that. If these same problems are happening this time next year, then you think about making a change. Doing so now would be a stupid and unnecessary mistake.

You are up by 15 with 3 minutes to go and Boston goes on a run.  Do you call a TO or let them play?  Brown said let them play.

Do you put Fultze in any of these games?  Brown says no.

Do you make sure your team is well prepared after having 6 days off?  Brown did not.

Shall I go on?

You sound like exactly like Stephen A Smith (puke)....since, you know, this is the same exact stuff Stephen A Smith was yelling about minutes after the game ended on Saturday.

Yes you call a timeout. No you don't play Fultz who isn't ready to contribute .No you don't blame the coach for a team being rusty after an unusual amount of time off.

There are things you can complain about with the coaching, and he has been outcoached-  no doubt about it- (Stephens is one of the best coaches in the league) but not playing a player who is clearly not ready to play at this level and blaming him on a team being rusty after a long layoff is pretty funny.

You don't fire a guy who managed to get his team, who many thought would win 40ish games and squeak into the playoffs, to the second round of the playoffs as the 3 seed after winning 52. That's an irrational way of looking at things. 

No offense but you sound like a lot of people I'm talking to lately who have not followed this team the last few years....then started watching at times this year...starting really paying attention during the win streak..and then assigned extremely unrealistic expectations....and are now pissed those unrealistic expectations are not being met.

They're a young, incomplete team, who is learning how to win. Takes time. They're in a fantastic place moving forward. Trust....

You also thought I was nuts when I said the Celts would beat them in 5...

You also didn't trust the process that got them to this point in the first place...
