First in the East and not even a complete team. Man, I love Nick Nurse. The buy-in he gets from guys, the defensive intensity you can see through the TV, and most importantly it’s fun to watch Sixers basketball again.

They actually look competent against zone defense:

Look at this movement. Is Nick Nurse bringing the read option to the NBA?

This is special.

5 passes
1 dribble
Feed the star big man with good positioning

He’s even got a small dick play, which I assume is just a call for the Sixers to hunt for the worst player on the opposing team:

Nick Nurse ridding the franchise of Doc Rivers screw ups:

Now don’t get me wrong. This is all great, but it’s still not enough. If Nick Nurse is not satisfied. I’m not satisfied either. One game at a time. Sixers vs. street clothes tonight:

#Pistons guards Alec Burks (left forearm contusion) & Jaden Ivey (illness) are listed as out for tomorrow’s In-Season Tournament game against the #76ers.

Bojan Bogdanovic (right calf), Joe Harris (right shoulder) Monte Morris (right quad) & Isaiah Livers (left ankle) remain out.
