Why are the Sixers struggling this season?
Yeah, there's just been so many aspects of this team piling up. Of course, we all know about the Joel Embiid issues. We've talked about the fact that Paul George just joined back into this mix, and they should have been playing together all season long and building this chemistry. Even last night, Yabusella gets hurt and goes to the back room. I mean, there's been so many factors at play, but... Now you're starting to see a loss of not just chemistry out on the court, but really belief in what's going on. There were so many plays in which the Sixers were disconnected. They felt as if they were talking on defense. People weren't moving their feet. I mean, it looked like the Sixers realize the situation they're in and they're like 20 games only won this season. We're way under 500.
What are the chances we're going to be in the play-in? Maybe we mail it in.
Yeah. I mean, you start hearing the chatter and it's, The Sixers need to try to tank to keep their pick. Yeah. Right. I imagine as a player, that's got to be pretty tough to go through. You know, they they spend the summer. They bring in Paul George thinking they've got this big three. And it just has never come to fruition through, you know, for health reasons. Obviously, it's like this team has been, as we said yesterday, completely snakebitten.
Imagine if you're Joel Embiid and you've been putting all of your effort to try and get back on the court. You've been playing through this inflammation. You've been playing through this pain. Imagine if you're Tyrese Maxey, who in the absence of Joel Embiid and Paul George was burdening 40 something minutes, a quarterback. every night trying to keep this team afloat while those two were getting back on the court. I mean, there's so many reasons that you would be disappointed if you're a Sixers player, let alone a fan that believed this was the season that they could elevate to the top of the East. It's disappointing all around. And it's really disappointing to hear a Nick nurse, you know, be asked about the situation with Joel Embiid and, and you're learning, okay, today is a, there was a test and that's why he was sidelined and he was benched. Uh, It just seems vague. You're not getting real answers. It's disappointing all around.
It doesn't feel as if the organization really has grasp on what they're doing and moving forward and how to get, make the best of the situation.
Yeah. And overnight Sunday into Monday morning, we kind of got some more news on, you know, what's going on with Joel's knee. And apparently there are multiple options. One of which is micro fracture surgery, which, you know, it's not something that you want to hear. You, you, This guy has already had a lot of surgeries. And so the fact that they're considering another one where he may miss up to a year, maybe longer, that contract starts next year, the big extension that he signed. Paul George obviously is in year one of a four-year contract. That's two. That's so much money. Kind of rough contracts for the Sixers going forward. And you get to a point where they basically have to keep this pick.
