16-17 Sixers Season Thread

but this jerk off session by the fans is infuriatingly short sighted

You mean the same fan base that was predominantly supportive of The Process from the day Hinkie was hired and during a 3 year tank?  People have been waiting - patiently - to have something going on with this team to legitimately be excited about.  And now we're starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.  Can you really blame anyone for getting excited at this point? 

[SD]

He's just miserable. I get it. This is a deep draft in position the Sixers need. But there's an alternative he doesn't want to embrace.

Plus today is the inauguration.

So lets give him a break.

I watched five minutes of a Sixers game.  Embiid is amazing.  Stop whining and enjoy it, you funholes. 

[smeags]

idiots, all of you.

the process doesn't stop cause they won a few games...they are years away from competeing for a championship and this draft is cttical in getting them there...so yes I can blame people for not caring about this years draft because they won some stupid game against Toronto...be happy Embiid has not gotten hurt yet...that and losses are the only things that matter this year

and if if i hear one more time how much these poor hipsters have suffered over a whole three year period I'm going to puke...cry me a farging river...and if you were true process people you should be smart enough to know to see it thru

[smeags]

trump approves of the process.

I don't disagree with them getting as many high draft picks as possible being the best case scenario.  Mo assets, mo potential.  But that doesn't mean that getting little glimpses like this current stretch they're on (I think they've won 7 of their last 9) aren't good for the team either.

I think this little streak they're on is more mirage than reality.  They're probably more prone to lose 7 of 9 more often than they'll win 7 of 9.  But small flashes of potential is not a bad thing here.  And if you think it is, then you should avoid watching after the break when Simmons starts getting minutes. 

And quit worrying about hipster fans.  Or hipsters in general.  And fans in general.  They don't make or break the process.

igy is right about insufferable fans though. last game i was at some jabroni kept yelling trust the process and then when richaun came in, he loudly asked who the hell is that.

[Sgt PSN]

Lets just take half of Sixers fans and put them in, what I like to call, the basket of insufferables.

[smeags]

im going to watch the game tonight. I might crack a smile if they win, but I swear, it will only last a 1/2 a second.

[Sgt PSN]

Meh, word on the street is that you were already insufferable, so go ahead and make it a full second.  Not gonna hurt your rep any. 

[hunt]

might as well grow an ironic beard while you're at it.

[smeags]

I was thinking more along the lines of going with a euro trash look.

[ice grillin you]

my god is sergio painful to watch....him and dario gotta be both be about a minus 100

[SD]

Dario has been brutal
