As asked above, 'what are his strengths?' What is the compelling case for keeping him?

I hear the injury excuse all the time, but that holds little weight as this team routinely fields a much, much more talented team than their opponents. How many all-star caliber players does he need to win?

The 76ers struggles on the road are well documented. How in the world can the same team that blows out the Lakers and Bucks routinely lose to far inferior teams like the Hawks and Magic?? The team is only a few games out of a 2nd seed, but may sleepwalk their way to a 5-6 seed because of their lack of urgency against inferior teams and on the road.

This team has way too much talent to not be a serious contender. But what is the blue print for a team like this winning a 'chip? When will that switch ever flip? What evidence is there to suggest that BB can motivate these guys on a consistent basis? Whatever happened to his declaratory statement that Ben Simmons will shoot at least one 3 pointer a game??? That was hilarious, yet revealing. He wants it to happen, but there are zero repercussions if players do their own thing.
