I think you're going to find a lot more real soon.
I can't wait to cheer for my new team.
Seriously, though. Fultz. Give me a guy whose extraordinary talent is exceeded only by his work ethic every time. Reading about his life as a gym rat legitimately impressed me. Gotta love that shtein.
Sixers forward Ben Simmons is the latest local athlete to make his thoughts known on the president and his controversial remarks about professional athletes.
Speaking to Fox Sports Australia, Simmons, the first pick in the 2016 NBA draft who sat out last season with a foot injury, didn't mince words describing Donald Trump on the team's media day:
"I think he's an idiot," Simmons told Fox Sports News 500 at the Philadelphia 76ers' media day.
"If we were in Australia right now, a lot of people would call him a d***head, and that's how I personally feel."

There is no chance there isnt crazy stipulations on that contract.
No really. You really need to take a vacation or something, because if Matty pulls himself away from the Hugh Hefner supermodel gang bang coke binge he's on to call you out, you know it's time to take a breather.
Hopefully this means his injury is healed but in reality they had to do this regardless.

Also, wgaf in preseason but lol@ the refs tonight.

Ben doesn't need to be a great shooter but he isn't even looking at uncontested 8 footers. Passing it to someone covered on the perimeter instead of taking an uncontested shot inside the FT line is a problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OIxPpmwzUU
I turned it off at the half but oh my god did he look amazing. A men among boys. Was talking shtein too. Ben still looks a bit lost. Shoot it bro.
Befoe one of the buzzers Jojo casually drained one from almost mid court. Dude is so smooth.
Summer league Ben went through a few stretches willing to shoot 7-15 ft. I think he's taken one(?) shot outside of 12 feet so far. He doesn't need to start raining 3s to be effective, but a step or two into the lane being willing to shoot would be helpful.
speaking of jump shots.....yikes

This is great
the sixers signed andrew andrews today
Embiid's going with cornrows for the home opener. Not digging it, not his style.
what's he doing for the season opener
Minutes restriction
Nice Philly turnout
Fultz being able to shoot would be helpful so I wouldn't need to see this much Bayless.
Their defensive effort has been atrocious in the third quarter.
Bit of 4th qtr home cooking for Washington.
Not Saric's best effort tonight.
Hayward is doubtful for Friday's game
I didn't get home until midway through the fourth quarter so all I saw was their run to take a small lead and then lost it. Seems lik Covington had a good game
John Wall is so good.
And yeah RoCo starting out hot could be a game changer. He normally doesn't shoot well until about Feb.
Was at game last night and Sixers fans are far away away the most annoying in the league right now.
so that 16min restriction for embiid lasted long.
Simmons Embiid and RoCo all seem to have 9 ft wing-spans. Like they could tie their shoes without bending over. Seems like a helpful trait on the basketball court.
brett browns rotation was embarrassingly bad
sixer fans took OVER that shtein
I'm curious what Matt found so annoying about Sixers fans (I mean other than the ones he was sitting with).
i told him this last night and i truly believe it...deep down hes a pretty big bullet fan
in his defense there were a few mistimed trust the process chants...but in general the amount of fans there on a weeknight was unreal
Thought I heard a few E.A.G.L.E.S. chants which is fitting since we're playing the skins
All teams have annoying fans, I love when our fans take over an arena/stadium.
there were hard eagle chants and tons of eagle gear being rocked
Yep. Miami in 2003 was epic. Literally the entire upper bowl was solid green except for a few Cuban tough guys who thought it would be a good idea to start shtein with Eagles fans.
Biiiig mistake, fellas.
Big.
Lol.
went to fed ex that same year with DH. I know its not too uncommon for eagles' fans to flood that place, but it was probably 2/3's green in that stadium that night.

Meh. It's gonna take some time...imagine if Jojo, Ben and Markelle are all playing well and JJ, RoCo and Bayless keep shooting like they are. Gonna be scary good.
Markelle got blocked at least 6 time stonight.
Tell me you wouldn't reverse the Fultz trade and take Tatum and the pick back

i still don't think tatum is going to be very good, i just don't get where fultz was chucking those 3s in summer league and at one point tonight he was literally alone on the 3 point line but won't shoot.
he can't shoot free throws much less three pointers but no one knows why

He's got freakishly long arms.
Commits awful fouls, has no awareness driving to the hoop, and no outside shot. I don't care that he's only 19...1st overall pick.
I'd still take Markelle in a heartbeat. Tatum is a dime a dozen not even as good as roco. You can see flashes even though he hot garbage right now.
That foul shot makes me sick though how do you let that continue unless his shoulder is super farged.

I'm talking Tatum and probably a top 3 pick you still make that trade?
that's a fair point
I'm not sure..probably not
Why is Embiid taking 6 three pointers and missing all of them? Motherfarger was 4-16 last night. For someone that big, that's completely embarrassing.
When he didn't actually chuck it up from the top of the three he did the same exact pump fake on every play. people have learned the move dude.
His bitching after the game about not getting the ball in the post enough was completely ridiculous.
It's too bad Brown is a weak motherfarger because that's a prime opportunity for a head coach to have a come to Jesus meeting. Dude has played 35 games and he acts like he's a 10-year/3-time MVP.
sixers arent particularly good with jo....without him they are number one overall pick awful
I know Brown played the tank role but they need a new coach
Also should have kept Hinkie
https://twitter.com/_JohnGonz/status/921899048654716928
How do you trade up for that. Going to go down with some of the worst trades in franchise history
either have shoulder surgery or sit down....you cant play that guy
Quote from: ice grillin you on October 21, 2017, 10:33:36 PM
either have shoulder surgery or sit down....you cant play that guy
Yup. But that's not so terrible. Sit him, let him get right, let Embiid and Simmons figure out how to exist together, give Bayless some run and try to get something for him.
So we allowed to say Brett Brown is trash yet? Because he is.
I'm the newest fan here and even I know he's a piece of shtein. I'd call Pitino just for the hell of it. He's used to coaching manbabies anyway and this team is filled to the brim with them.
I don't understand bringing Markelle off the bench 3 minutes into the game. Just farging start him.
Simmons with the triple dub
I doubt your sincerity?
Why is this team playing Fultz with a likely severe injury to his shoulder right now? More to the point - who is the team physician... is his last name Mengele?
They have no problem sitting Embiid for two seasons and Simmons for a season over a broken foot but now they're throwing Fultz out there with an obvious shoulder injury...makes zero sense.
Yeah this medical staff is the worst.
so i think i have this right regarding markelle
he hurts his shoulder
the sixers know it is hurt
they still put him on the court and let him get destroyed by the fans and media
his agent has to come out and say he is hurt so the sixers dont do anymore damage to him
the sixers now admit he is hurt but are blaming him for causing his own injury
amazing....but at least they have a real basketball guy as gm now
One of the morning local talk shows was saying his agent was wrong he didn't have fluid drained but he did receive a cortisone shot. I see no point of throwing him out there until he's 100%. Young players need confidence and not a play through the pain the first 5 games of the season and tough it out mentality. I'm as harsh as a critic as anyone but the kid is 19 and if he's that injured the Sixers should get all the blame.
they still cant/wont say what the true nature of the injury is.....instead they blame the player
if it doesnt at some point come out that fultz head is farged up or he has some sort of brandon brooks anxiety disorder then the sixers look as awful as an organization possibly can
Colangelo says that Fultz shoulder injury could be the result of him changing his shooting mechanics.
Um, no.
welcome to two posts and 35 minutes ago
Yeah, none of them mentioned Colangelo's specific quote sweetheart.
sometimes i forget that the whole world doesnt listen to sixer press conferences live

jo jo inexplicably refusing to go on the block again tonight
motherfarger
I just turned the goddamn thing on after listening on the radio on the way home
Seriously?
Embarrassing possessions down the stretch. What a letdown after a well played game.
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/F_f8l2RRKko/hqdefault.jpg)
at what point does the coach have a responsibility to make sure the team is actually running plays down the stretch
that was so philly.
i walked in the door up by 8 with less than 3 min. and i knew they were going to blow it.
i mean it's nice that they should have beaten the rockets but god damn that was an ugly two minutes.
did they even try a two pointer in the last 3 min?
The second to last possession there were a bunch of open looks but nobody wanted to take the shot, so the ball eventually made it out to Reddick for a 3 with 1 second on the shot clock
Actually that play was the only one in the last three minutes that was ok.
what a terrible organization
go team !!
the young guys arent ready to win yet...but JJ has to hit that three...it was as wide open as you can get in perfect rhythm and he missed it...thats precisely what they have him here for...would have been game over
also ben simmons inability to shoot hurt them late...he didnt even glance at the hoop off the pnr on that one late possession
they are close to being a competent team they just need to grow up...hopefully you see that slowly happen this year but it might not be until next year...young teams in the nba generally suck....also their three losses with embiid have been against two of the top 3 seeds in the east and the 2 or 3 seed in the west....hasnt been the easiest schedule
i agree with all of that but good coaching, play calling, etc. is supposed to win you a few of these. i know he's had trash to work with but brett has literally never won the sixers a game because of something he did.
it's nice that they should have won though.
honestly a minuscule % of all the nba coaches in the history of the league have ever been the reason their team has won a game....the other 99% have the best players...i dont wanna say coaches dont matter but their worth is way overvalued in a sport that only has 5 players per team on the floor
if the sixers have james harden or even eric gorden on that pnr BB called maybe they make it and the sixers win....instead the sixers have a PG who cant shoot outside of the lane and didnt even look at the basket....then made a terrible pass to jerryd bayless who is pure farging garbage
its not like dantoni was scheming up beautiful late game sets....he had harden and gordon making plays....gordon makes a clutch shot at the end to win JJ reddick doesnt...thats not brett brown or mike dantoni
i dont know ultimately if BB will be a championship coach but i do know that if and when two or three of the young guys become all nba players brett brown will be a "great" coach
bb didn't even seem annoyed afterwards. just another teaching moment for the young guys. the 1,245th of the last four years.

sixers have the best whites ever
embiid literally looked a monster on that put back dunk...hes around dudes who a few inches shorter than him but they looked like ants
nerlens and jojo tipoff was so cute.
embiid leaves the game and immediately a score at the rim
nn somehow lost weight.
TJ is shooting 40% from 3 and is the best player on the court.
sixers are going to lose to the worst team in the league arent they
when are you going to admit you were wrong about tj
hes garbage on a good team
jo jo with his turnovers is like wentz with his last year...hope he gets better

i can appreciate how frustrating it must be to defend the rockets, but i find their style of play so not fun to watch. gross.
Last foul on Bayless was gross
Yup. since when does Gordon get superstar calls.
I am very certain this lead is not big enough.
Don't think I've ever blamed a game on the refs but this is pretty silly. And these rockets are such whiny bitches.
I know Dallas isn't good but still amazing considering where the sixers have been last four years that they are really close to a two team Texas sweep
god it's farging annoying how much embiid falls
Ben's not good at free throws
Shot is too flat. I thought he had good arc earlier tonight but last few shots were pushed a bit.
yeah joj should have just kept the ball instead of passing to ben for his last two.
and why was bayless in the entire last 8-9 min, was playing like trash.
i mean i guess it's nice that we're still bitching about a win.
Actually Bayless played the entire 4th quarter.
no reddick
most impressive win since ______

ugh these guys are so good they're not even fun to watch anymore.
I think what I'm most pleasantly surprised about with Simmons is his defense actually seems good
what was amazing about tonight is that i thought he was just ok....kinda quiet didnt control the game much and then i looked up and he was like three assists away from a triple double
if the sixers go 500 is that good enough for a 4 seed in this shtein east

what other reason could they have for "resting" him 4 days after they last played? if you want load manage jo on a back to back or 4th game in 8 days thats one thing.
only other thing could be his foot is sore. which is still not a good thing.
im sure the sixers will be very open about why they are doing this.
i havent seen or heard anything about it even when it happened but early in the pacer game he did something to his foot...he was limping a little and then was doing exercises on their weird foot thing they keep behind the bench...he came back and seemed fine but i thought his career was over when it happened
amputation is the most likely scenario
i know his confidence is at below zero but okafor is horrible at basketball
he was horrible in college which is easier to play
Refreshing having Holmes back
dario went from fire to shtein real quick. but that interview with molly was adorable af. didn't understand one word.
why does ben shoot on the way down???
my god ben
imagine if he gets a jumper. unreal.
also zumoff is the only old white guy allowed to say fam.
tj has been an utter disaster tonight
77-5
molly is getting bald a bit in the back.
i just watched bens steal and dunk 15 times in a row.
leggo
Ben
dario cannot check zbo...this is where i have some issues with bb...his lineup rotations
No reason to have a split screen with Jerry Co
rooooooooooooooooooooooocooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Awful first half
jo jo cannot fall for a head fake from cauley stein who cannot score against him otherwise
Quote from: AO1 on November 09, 2017, 11:07:50 PM
Awful first half
certainly wasnt awful...they scored 57 pts...their perimeter rotations werent great sacramento shot out their ass and brett put dario on z-bo way too much...but ill take being down seven with almost non existent first halves from jo and ben
It was probably the worst first half of Sixers basketball I've ever witnessed
probably not
what is awful tonight....embiid
dere you go jo
what happened to ben
this has to be the first time all year this lineup has been in.....tlc justin anderson and amir johnson
weird night reffing
that was a horrendous close out by dario
refs arent the problem the bench is
37-8 in favor of sactown
ben didnt play a second of that quarter and they were a plus 4
Ben
beautiful little pivot move there by jo
you aint got dario anymore z bo
that was disgusting by ben
farg yeah jo
jo jo has to kick that back out
Joel plays without a brain often
mcconnell needs to be in the game here over jj....theres no one to stop fox dribble
Horrible
Up 6 with the ball with 70 seconds left. Awful loss
they are a .500 team at best....gonna be a lot of these
JJ has to shoot that ball....he caught it and could have shot in rhythm but instead gave it to jo

70 seconds is an eternity in the nba...this aint college...in college you are fouling down 6 with a minute left...nba they can actually make shots
well that was terrible
When Dario is bad he's straight trash. He has to lead the league in touch fouls for and 1's, carelessly turns the ball over, and is a turnstile on D.
Sometimes he can facilitate as a point forward but his floor is so low in games where he isn't shooting.
Also, I'm continuing to be amazed at how well Simmons plays d. Such active hands.
First game I've been able to watch start to finish this season
RoCo is a pimp
Jojo plays a season high in mins
Still sloppy with the ball at times as a team and the FT shooting can be better
And Ben is so fun to watch
Jojo and RoCo first Sixers to have over 30 in the same game since AI and Webber back in 06

two signs of young teams trying to grow are turnovers and personal fouls....sixers are last in the nba in both categories
basically right now when embiid and covey are both on the floor they are a top five team and when either one is off they are a bottom ten team
'and ah uh i dont know whats his name uh but that boy fouled out'

evan turner got 4/70
unreal job by coangelo
this is just beautiful stuff so far
offense is so bad without embiid on the floor
jo to the bench again up 10....lets see what happens
minus 4
its usually worse
holy mother of god if kouzma throws that down the nba season would have ended
TJ has just been atrocious tonight
TJ/JJ/Anderson not contributing tonight. JJ needs to never dribble.
JJ and roco combined have one more three pointer than lonzo
ben needs two rebounds for a trip dub
Simmons has been getting wrecked defensively tonight.
sixers are dead farging tired...no way they finish this game
Would be nice if ANYONE other than Simmons/Embiid made an appearance on O.
only way they win is if roco/reddick hit a couple threes because they dont have enough left in the tank to work hard for shots the next six minutes
Ben should have about 8 more assists tonight.
JJ is a pathetic pos of shtein...not only is he missing but hes had at leat four of his threes blatantly un contested
holy farging shtein is embiid good
lakers were 2-24 from three before kouzma...maybe theres hope for the sixers
Jo's game tonight is one of the best regular season performances I've seen or can recall at least.

Put a bullet in jj tonight. Wtf
credit jo down the stretch and also brett brown for making sure he got the ball on the block on every posession down the stretch knowing no one else really had it tonight other than ben
i wanna see some elias shtein on how many times a player not named wilt chamberlain has ever had a line like jo's tonight
man i could stay up all night thinking about this
jo coming up on sportscenter

embiids post game interview is magic
Saw the highlights. Holy shtein Embiid is a monster. I'm also fairly certain Simmons could average a triple double with minimal effort.
embiid has played 40 nba games and are there 7 players better than him
When he's on, he's a force of nature that teams have difficulty putting up resistance against. That game was a work of art unseen in decades and somehow didn't even feel like close to everything he's capable of.
And he might be better at trolling Lavar Ball than he is at basketball.
crowd is insane tonight. i know its the warriors and everyone is juiced but this feels like a game 7
They're on fire thus far.
is there even a small chance sixer win this game
my god benjamin simmons

beginning of the end
was i the only one not scared of embiid laying on the ground? clearly just smashed his face
who is worse jj or tj
brett brown just had 2 minute stretch where roco, ben and jo were not on the court while steph, kd and klay were
this is the biggest meltdown I've ever seen
was fun while it lasted
On fire has turned into an implosion.
not really...the best team ever woke up and the sixers had a god awful lineup on the floor for the last 5 minutes
sixers arent ready for this and they are crumbling.
where were ben and roco during the warriors crush
you knew golden state was gonna win this but my god have the sixers folded
Wtf
I'm at a wedding and I last checked the score after the first
I used to like him but ala is an embarrassment
well there ya go. sixers 0 for their 14 from 3. thatll do it.
why will jo not go on the block

tonight he's shook against dray dawg
can't belive how bad jj is
speaking of bad and being so off how off was I on ala
he was doing it early in the game and in the 3rd....in that spot you referring to he had been on the court for a while. even so hes gotta take igwadala.
i dont see jo as one to be shook
tonight he is
as many players are against a champion....deer in headlights not much different than last weekend...not sure why this is hard to believe
bottom line is until ben Simmons gets range and it's a monstrous if the sixers have zero chance of ever winning a title
At least they covered the 9?
go watch the nfl
I do. And basketball. And baseball.
Sup?
you have to remember he loves the sixers more than he loves the 3 other teams, the bullets, caps, nats, wash pro football team and hates soccer combined

I was at a cancer benefit. We followed the score on our phones. They were up 22 at the half. I bet my buddy $50 they'd lose. Cha-Ching.
they were up 26 3q
even when jo is terrible offensively he more than makes up for it by locking down the rim on the other end
joel off the dribble from the foul line left handed.....ridiculous
dunk that shtein bama
utah is lost without gobert
sixers are 2-11 from three and up 15......jazz are bad
why is jo jo in the game
wowowowowowowow
holy crap this guy is the greatest thing ever

ben not making anything happen tonight and still up 12
their offense has been embarrassing and their defense the opposite
ben literally cant finish tonight
love joel and ben but no one on the court is better than dame dolla
holy shtein dame is unconcious
this is shaping up as a ben cant shoot loss
At no point in this game have I felt like they were going to lose. Even when lilliard when on his tear

Just in case the blazers come back since the Sixers turn the ball over so much
Guess is because his mom is courtside
finally gone and way too late
The blood is from tlc nose
i was at the game with sunmo and 2 members of the orphanage he runs
that seems like fun
it was fun in the sense that it was yet another reminder to steer clear of children and women with children
I went too. Sat in those overpriced Centennial seats. The 18 yo kid next to me every 4 mins would yell out a player's first name (sometimes as a nickname like "Dari") and put his fist in the air (he was white) and then get sad when they wouldn't turn around and acknowledge him. It was unpleasant.
Corporal punishment for the mandatory win.

Lame but I love it when I'm at a game in Philadelphia and another athlete from a local team is there and they show them in the Jumbotron and the crowd goes nuts. I was at the zesty Seahawks game in 2007 when Tatapu picked Feeley off 3 Times, they showed Rollins up on the screen and the entire Linc went nuts. He heard the noise, started looking around to see what was going on, then looked up at the screen and smiled when he saw the fans were going nuts for him. Was by far the highlight of the day.
That's my gay story for the day.
I always wonder what it's like being a fan when you are also a professional athlete. If someone has read a great article on the topic, let me know.
You have to figure that they grew up as massive fans of their local teams, since sports are a huge part of their lives. So what happens when you're a local Philly kid who lives and dies with the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers, and then you get drafted by the 49ers (to pick a team/city that Philly people would have no strong feelings about). Obviously you instantly switch to being a 49er fan over the Eagles, since they are the team who pays you, believes in you, and hopefully you are friends with people there and really believe in what they are trying to accomplish. Do the Eagles stay your second team, or once you're in the NFL is it more personal.... rooting for the individual guys who are your friends and who you respect professionally? Or do you not care about who wins, outside of your own team?
Then there's the other teams in the city. Often you will hang out with some of those guys and become friendly with them. If you have a close connection with your own fans, and they are also rooting for the Warriors and SF Giants, do you just naturally get swept up by the current of SF fandom? When you're a pro athlete it's almost like you are a symbol of the city you play for, and I can understand that connection being stronger than feelings about your childhood teams. Obviously there are a lot of guys like Mike Trout who openly stay fans of their hometown teams though.
Or is it really just a pure marketing gimmick when someone from Cleveland goes to Sixers games in a Liberty Bell cap?
i think when an entire city is on your bird you tend to root for the same teams as they do....million dollar paychecks dont hurt either
Zach Lowe mining stats on Simmons, Redick, Covey, Saric, Embiid:
That group has outscored opponents by an absurd 29 points per 100 possessions, the best mark among all 68 five-man groups that have logged at least 50 minutes, per NBA.com.
Quote from: QB Eagles on November 24, 2017, 12:15:52 PM
I always wonder what it's like being a fan when you are also a professional athlete.
Most pro athletes aren't fans in the same way that regular fans are fans. They were spending their youth grinding in the gym, studying their playbooks, and practicing. To them, the goal was to make the pros and win a chip, not live vicariously through their favorite team(s). I can guarantee you that Mike Trout has never broken his remote over the Eagles or made some stupid youtube videos after each game. He watches, he cheers when they do good and he gives practically 0 fargs when they suck. He also watches from a completely different perspective than any regular fan would. He's watching his peers, even if it's a different sport. He knows the work they put in to be there and there's a mutual respect and admiration among pro athletes. And, unlike fans, he actually knows the players and might have personal relationships with a few. So it's more than just rooting for laundry, he's rooting for friends.
QuoteOr is it really just a pure marketing gimmick when someone from Cleveland goes to Sixers games in a Liberty Bell cap?
Mostly, yes. If Lane Johnson were playing in Chicago he'd have been at a Bulls game with a Jordan jersey on last night.
Trout has an Eagles tattoo, the YouTube thing yeah but I'm sure he's broken a few remotes.
We all dream about an Eagles Super Bowl, young athletes dream about making it to the big show.
other than lebron obvi there is not a single person in the cavs starting 5 that i would pick over the sixers starting five.
maybe crowder and dario are a push.
also wow molly looks good tonight.
0/8 from 3 isn't going to cut it. When Redick is not on he really offers nothing.
I want to like TLC... I feel like I can see the outline of a good basketball player, but he's just not there yet.
Wade is wrecking them by himself since he's come in. Gotten anything he's wanted.
yeah granted it's early but def. ben's worst defensive game this year.

molly got her hair done and bought a new outfit. finest shes looked in years.
Man Redick has been god awful. Have said that too many times this year.
First game which Simmons has looked disinterested. He's just floated.
Covington bricks open 3 and Korver hits contested 3 and it goes from 6 pt deficit with Cleveland TO to 12 pts in 10 seconds.
would have been a fun win. oh well.
JJ's podcast started back up again today after about a year off. bill simmons and the ringer network scooped him up. first episode came out today and it's an interview with Jojo.
if you didn't listen in the past, JJ is a surprisingly good interviewer.
ben in jo out tonight.

no jojo no john wall oof.
Apparently Embiid is playing.
Wow nice they're both playing. Awesome.
Jo and Ben I mean.
This fouling is absurd
And hit your damn FTs, Ben.
Lead whittled down to five. Jesus
Well there goes bens confidence.
I get McConnell being hurt but still how is ben in the game for all that
that was an unreal flop by Beal
And the foul. Up your ass Scottie
Sixers doing everything humanly possible to lose this
Stupid T
Zoom and alaa are normally great but of course that's a T dudes.
This is the most frustrating win ever.
May have ruined bens career.
you can foul him all you want but bullets still have to score in other end and they got 48 in the 4Q....hack a ben is going to cover up the sixers awful defense
I was torn between taking ben out or keeping him in but I think it's good this came out sooner rather than later.
The Wiz used to be my second team but now I hate them so much because of Brooks. I am a Beal fan but I hope his face is broken.
i know its within the rules and somewhat common practice for bad free throw shooters but i wanted to legit fight scott brooks last night

its on nba network so i can flip to the wash dal game or whatever else i want
i'd rather eat my meatcicle than watch that football game.
even if it wasnt on i would always watch on cable vs. streaming....streaming is so much cheaper but damn its annoying....im never doing it again for nba
my RCN internet is like light speed and never had a single problem.
its not the streaming feed
thats perfect
its the fact that its a bitch to switch btwn roku and cable
i like to just have a cable remote in my hand so i can seamlessly do last channel to some other game or hit three buttons to immediately go to another channel
oh gotcha.
kinda nice seeing ben hit a few jumpers. i thought it was 50-50 his career was over after last night.
it could still get ugly in the second half as the sixers play more minutes but they are hanging in much better than i thought going on a back to back road trip game against a very good team
horford is the most boring good player ever.
i dont know if the contract went to his head or what but man has covey been horrid since signing it
Celts are missing a lot of wide open looks
Listening to Heinsohn is like listening to a more homer version of Hawk Harrellson call a game
yeah they are my least favorite announcers.
also roco is hot farging garbage this week.
If that's not a clear path foul than I don't know what the farg is
is there a more mjust watch tv tonight than jo v. drum drum

this piston lineup is gross....need to extend

sixers - acc - big 10
big 10 SOL until sixers are over
horrendous court to court for rob....somehow front rimmed an open three and then lost of all people luke kennard on the defensive end

i know he can hit a spot up 3 with amazing regularity but other than that bayless needs to be chucked into the sun
i dont disagree and his minutes need to come closer to tlc's but theres close to a bayless on every nba team
bayless has an edge in that he can be a lead guard for a few minutes at a time
if fultz can ever get on the court i wonder who keeps their role: tlc or bayless
unless brett gives favors to the veteran it obviously should be tlc over bayless as long as TJ is healthy....tlc is a way better defender and arguably as good a shooter...so if you have tj as your back up pg then bayless doesnt play

i think this game is the end of ben...not saying he will be like this every game but hes is worthless as a championship player
They might as well trade him to the cavs for Roy Hinson
RIP ben simmons
2017-2017
i would go back to his college year....but yeah....until he gets a shot hes worthless as far as if you want the sixers to win a title
been saying this before they even picked him
how many dunks is jo gonna miss this year
man are they bad defensively whenever dario or jj is on the floor...if both are like brett has had them at times tonight its fugly
love the boo's...this is embarrassing
after this game is over i better hear that ben had aids
detroit has the smallest worst defensive guards in the nba

a guard who can defend would be nice. i never thought i'd say this but they really need tj back.

ummm
Lmaoooo
jah, sauce, 2nd - nyets
trevor booker - sixers
jah sucks but im happy for him
booker has an expiring deal right ?
wow they had to throw in a pick too? craziness.
i mean the trade doesn't matter but i actually hope jah does well too. handled it way better than i could have.
jesus these turnovers.
Pretty ugly start
Still looking like the PHX game
Not ugly? That Richaun dunk.
LOL lonzo laying that up like a third grader.
Redick stinks and Ben has missed a dunk and wide open layup
I wonder if Clyde can hit a shot.
Some really ugly possessions here.
Good grief
Ok here we go
Nice run. And then bad turnover by Ben...jeez
Ben by himself basically turned this from a 5 point game to a 15 point game in a minute of game time
Yeah he was bad.
JJ is unbelievably awful
I know his stat line has looked the same but ever since hack a Ben he hasn't looked as confident.
Jojo!
Let's gooooo

the league has gone from playing five feet off him to 8-10 feet off him...he is less of a threat away from the rim than teams even thought
yup jj has been trash except for like 4 games.
thank god for richaun tonight.
2 point game and crowd was still all about dat frosty.
I wanna see mama Embiid courtside with a #21 jersey, gold chains, braided hair and a huge sign that says "That's my boy"
There's no way they win this game
Oh my god.
Horrible possession by the Sixers to give the ball back
Brutal loss
why is Holmes in the game there....makes no sense
what a beautiful shot there at the end.
why did two people go cover lonzo and his bum ass shot to leave ingram wide open?
not gonna get mad at the shot or the play...not much you can do with .8 left and need a three...but I do wanna know why richaun was even in the game to get the ball
prob the coach bro.
how many turnovers did the sixers end up with last night ?
its frustrating to lose a game like that but let me just put on my homer havas sixers cap and say its great to have fun, meaningful basketball again
screw all that
the loss was important to make sure the lakers finish 6-10
you have tanking stockholm syndrome
i dont want the sixers to tank but i also know they are going nowhere this year...might not even make the playoffs
i want the lakers to not tank
i would give up the lakers pick in exchange for simmons being able to hit a 15 footer
may never happen...but we wont know for at least an offseason....only hope imo is that he switches to his proper hand and works with shooting coaches over the summer to develop he semi reliable right handed jumper
in total the sixers have traded jahlil okafor and nerlens noel for justin anderson and trevor booker. that's embarrassing.
picking jahlil almost erases every great thing hinkie did
nerlens averages less minutes per game than justin anderson
they could actually really uses nerlens defense off the bench on this team right now....the defense falls off a cliff when amir or richaun come in the game...i think nn is still a sixer if anyone knew he wasnt going to get paid.....hes making seven million dollars less than amir johnson this season....but thats 20/20 hindsight
cant they just get nn back next year...but would he want to be jo's backup
that douche simmons in his column today threw out a fake trade: fultz, johnson, lakers pick for cj
They can't trade the Lakers pick while it's part of another trade (I'm sure you know that just pointing it out). Fultz/Johnson for CJ straight up? I'd do it.
Quote from: MDS on December 08, 2017, 11:52:55 AM

yeah sure they could hes on a one year deal....i cant imagine he would be starting for any team in the league the question is would someone give him some sort of deal that the sixers deemed too much....also he was a little salty when he left the sixers...not sure how he would even feel about coming back
there were maybe 2-3 games early in the season but this these guys can never have a good shooting night on the same night.
Second time lately Richaun is jacking up threes at the end of games
Plz stop
jj reddick was their best scorer on the court which is scary
http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2017/12/espn-present-philadelphia-access-december-15/
amir johnson just had the worst 5 minute run in nba history
Inbound with 1.2 seconds and bayless thinks he has time to pump fake and take 3 dribbles.
Ben hasn't scored and Jojo has several ugly careless turnovers
Butler is working them over
Still sloppy with the ball
Amir Johnson...bum
Hack a Ben = Wentz's knee
20-5 turnover count in favor of Minny
Sixers keep jacking up jumpers and can't get on the boards. Easy transition bucket
Come on
And Ben is still scoreless. He's not even looking to shoot or drive
Dario
And a Great pass by jojo
Get a farging rebound
Simmons and the foul which of course he butchers
They had no business winning this game. The hot hand by Dario turned it around and they also finally started getting smarter with the ball.
Minny was up 8 with 3:00 to go
jj redick can shoot free throws and sometimes hits a 3 but good god he is terrible and his defense makes me sad

ESPN game. And they held tip for an extra 10-15 mins to let the Knicks and Lakers finish
that was one of the weirder games ive seen in a while
sixers played about half the game with ZERO shooters on the floor ben simmons had 7 pts and yet they scored 118 and hit 11 from beyond
yeah don't forget almost 30 turnovers.

it has been very iffy at times lately but JJ is not a terrible defender. above average the last few years.
i'd hump all three of them.

its on an poppin
first take live from philly today and non stop sixers until the game tonight
espn just had one of the best things ive ever seen....went around the city and interviewed fans and business owners on the process...it was so good...find it online
they doing this with all teams or just special for sixers because they are the shtein?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fRiV-z7TkA
ive been watching sixer bird get blown for the better part of 11 hrs straight....has there ever been a more sure thing than them losing tonight
jo is a go tonight
oh boy has the league caught up to ben....he is straight garbage right now....you got one year to find a shot...clock is ticking
they have absolutely no right to be down by 5 but ill take it
also tj mconnell sucks

The frustrating part is he's wide open...take the damn shot...ya miss ya miss
Jojo just got destroyed
to be fair to ben he has to guard russ on one end and then paul george is checkin him on the other....tough assignment....but that doesnt explain the last ten games or so
an egg being laid tonight was so predictable....the thunder have been a tragically bad shooting team basically the whole year and tonight are lights out
no philly team should ever allow espn to follow them for a whole day..what are you thinking
I'll have to find the ESPN stuff. Just getting home.
Is Ben actively looking to not shoot? Jesus

lol
As to your earlier point I'm talking since the hack a Ben game. Before they'd guard him tight...now they just lay off and dare him to shoot. He's young so he has time to develop a shot but at least start with mid range jumpers. He's to the hoop or bust.
i dont think the hack a ben game had anything to do with it...its just the same timing of the league catching up to him
you wanna talk a "since then" game....since roco signed his deal he is like 31% from three....and most of those attempts have been ugly as farg....he might be stealing a lot of money over the next four years
He can't even make a layup tonight
Ugly
Have a seat RoCo
if they cant develop markelle into a lead guard next year offseason priority is to get a legit back up pg....tj is such garbage
we are approximately 72 hrs from an announcement that jo needs back surgery
this is the night the process ended
you cant spell redick without brick
Ugly possessions
Can't get over that hump to tie it and OKC keeps draining threes
Ben got too deep and took a lousy shot
Quote from: MDS on December 15, 2017, 09:02:35 PM

hes been their best scorer tonight...and second best this season....problem is your
starting sg is a 33 year old non defender who should be instant offense off the bench and nothing more
this is like the 5th or 6th game ive noticed this year but they are some front running bitches...including jo
when the game is going good for them they are all wave your index fingers laugh it up but when they are getting worked they get all mopey and straight quit
Robert Covington tonight:
- 0-6 when guarded by Westbrook
- 0-6 on uncontested shots
- 0-6 shooting off Ben Simmons' passes
Ok ok let's gooooo
I'll be there on Thursday so I hope Jojo plays

God dam is Westbrook special, gonna be a shame when he finishes his career without a title.
why did russ try and dunk that
jo gettin worked
take roco out back and put him down
how is this in overtime
not sure why ben picked up his dribble at 3/4 court but embiid is ridiculous
i think that was soledad obrien in the crowd
OKC's not even covering roco...easy look
What a fargin pass
Dumb turnover Jesus Christ
jo is so tired
he moving like pat ewing in the early 2000s
Oh my that shot noooo Jojo
I hate Carmelo...zip it pal
how can you hate carmelo....hes so ill
jo needs to shut it after garbage like that
joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
mos def sixer ball
Great farging block
Definitely Sixers Ball
Haven't liked him since he was at Cuse
Ok let's win this fargin thing. Take a good shot please
oh that last angle looked like out on covey

hes not playing until maybe tuesday, so
that was the dumbest thing ive ever seen by jj reddick....he had an easy front rim layup or a kick out and he tried an impossible under the rim reverse
farg roco has to go under that screen...jo cant guard on the perimeter now
just make two dummy
what?
Bullllllshtein
thats no difference than someones wrist getting hit after the ball is gone
brett needs to get jj out of the game on defense when he can and he could have there
That was a foul
call a timeout!!!!!

Gotta get JJ on the shot here

Roberson is a bum
got destroyed by a spent jo but im fine with it at this point of the game...and the fact that he wasnt a clear path to thr rim...he was going under
Why couldn't they advance it?
Refs are trash
There's that Horowitz Jew from the video
why are they arguing....they arent going to reverse it and go back to the OT2 and they got away with murdering roberson
holy farg
someones not tired
Russ is vicious
Was Dario fouled?
jo cant even grab the ball
surprised no hack a ben here

I guess the best thing we can say is they're letting the Sixers hack OKC a bit on offense too
Because JVG was right Ben was fouled on that board attempt
you just can underestimate how valuable jo's FT shooting is
Joooooojoooo
holy shtein jo cant move....what a break with donovan calling a TO
he couldnt even try for the rebound

West told his Kobe memories from the visiting locker room in Charlotte last week. Just as he was wrapping up, Andre Iguodala returned to his nearby locker and began to listen in on the conversation. He smirked, giving off an 'Oh, you think that's bad?' vibe. Then he interjected with one of his own.
Iguodala was drafted by the 76ers in 2004. He immediately became a defensive ace, deployed by coach Mo Cheeks to guard all the league's best perimeter scorers.
In November of 2005, near the start of Iguodala's second season, he tangled with Kobe in Kobe's hometown of Philadelphia and won.
"He was 3 for 17, only had 17 points," Iguodala said. "I was locking that s— up."
Like any great decade-old tale, some of the statistics have been exaggerated. Kobe wasn't 3 of 17, he was 7 of 17 for those 17 points. But that's still an inefficient night mostly due to Iguodala.
"Then Phil Jackson said in the paper: 'I've never seen anyone guard Kobe as good as that,'" Iguodala said. "Then Aaron McKie has a quote, he said: 'Yeah, man, this kid grew up in the era of Kobe, he studied Kobe, so he can guard Kobe.'"
Two months later, the Sixers made the return trip to Los Angeles. Iguodala swears he'd forgotten about the first matchup. Kobe obviously hadn't.
"He came in the visiting locker room and asked my teammates: 'Yo, where's Dre,'" Iguodala said. "They're like, 'Oh, he's on the court shooting.' He just said: 'Tell him 50 tonight.' It was like he'd been waiting for that game."
Kobe guaranteed Iguodala 50 pregame and then delivered him to the doorstep of it, making 19 of his 29 shots, hitting all seven of his 3s and scoring 48 points before subbing out of a blowout win with 4 minutes still left to go.
"(Warriors assistant Chris) DeMarco found it on — what's the system they use for old games? Synergy?" Iguodala said. "He's like, 'Yo, I'm watching it and was like, you know the Staples Center logo? He shot two 3s from the 'A' in Staples Center.' He was making some incredible shots. I remember coming back to the bench and Mo Cheeks was like: 'Young man, you did a helluva job tonight.'"
"I remember that Andre," West said, cracking up. "I remember that."
Iguodala didn't want to take all the fault.
"He was just putting Chris Webber in the pick-and-roll," he said. "I was dead meat."
So which is it: 8 or 24?
"8," Iguodala said. "8 had bounce. 8 was the one who came in the locker room and told me you're getting 50 tonight."
I did not think the cursive jerseys were going to look good but farg did they look pretty.
I couldn't watch it last night so watched it today and we are gonna be spoiled for a while.
Also JVG was like I tried to throw a t-shirt to a kid and two adult pigs stood up to snatch it
me and my girl are going to Savannah in January

My favorite shot is the two foot airball by Amir. At least once per game.
Anyone have their splits with 5 mins or less left in games?
Also Bayless missed what 4 wide open uncontested 3s in a row?
that one hurt.
ben gotta go strong there at the end.
Bayless is trash but the bigger problem is that this team has no idea how to finish a game. Jesus.
it's amazing to me how many times this year jj has inexplicably turns over the ball for no apparent reason...just weirdly loses it under little pressure
Yeah BC's three vets have been the worst players on the team this year.
would they be a top 3 worst team without jo
probably bottom 5.
they could really use markelle to come back and forget about the last 6 months.

it's not only the turnovers, he tries to force awkward 3's late in games that are just as bad.
I wish Holmes was worth a damn on defense because he's such a scoring spark off the bench.
Few times last night Ben had that look in his eyes like he was going to say farg it and throw up an outside shot. He's the most one dimensional non center scorer I can remember seeing.
The JJ turnovers really are inexplicable. He'll just chuck a one-handed overhand pass directly into the oppositions hands. It's been infuriating but also just confusing as shtein. It looks like he's never played basketball when he does that shtein.
This team is exceptionally good at choking away leads in the 4th quarter.
Got home in time to see the 4th implosion. 21-8 so far
Can't finish games for shtein. And RoCo is ice cold
Just tank again for Christ's sake
whats the latest on fultz's boo boo ?
"He has fluid in his right shoulder" - Fultz's agent late October. Nothing from the team or Sixers medical staff. You don't get answers, just silent treatment. TTP.

Quote from: smeags on December 20, 2017, 08:56:38 AM
so, we'll see him next season.
Hoping before the AS break. They aren't tanking and it's not an issue (that we know of) that needs surgery so there's no reason he shouldn't play. I'm anxious to see him play, I watched some youtube videos the other night - granted they're highlights - but he has a nice outside shot. His hunched shoulder was clearly an issue to start the season.
the process could miss two more games, but could be ready for Christmas vs the knicks.
one of the biggest complaints of hinkie haters was how secretive the team was and somehow BC and crew are even worse.
they have been infuriating to watch the last two weeks.

I'm of the school that thinks BC is worse in just about every way. Maybe he acts more like a real human being, but that's about it.
if its just a sore back and they are taking precaution versus it being a defined diagnosed injury then why would you say hes going to miss two game then come back....you have no idea when hes gonna play again....hes gonna play when it feels better....just call it back soreness and hes day to day
now you are going to have people furious if he doesnt play in a game that everyone marked on their calendar the day it was announced last summer
i'm not even specifically talking about jojo...i am fine with him taking every other game off until the playoffs. just in general about BC. i am part of the hinkie cult but tried hard to give BC the benefit of the doubt...thought he did fine last year basically by doing nothing. but now i can't seem to find any good in any of his moves.
playoffs ?
you may want to lower your expectations.
Colangelo is a bum

Ben not taking shots is tilting me
Shortest book ever written: how to hold a second half lead written by the 2017 Philadelphia 76ers

The usher in sec 203 the other night who said he was scared to shoot and a stat compiled and then unloaded on Bayless for being a "garbage bum"
I remember Lebron's first few seasons, he wasn't a great outside shooter but at least he tried. Ben's scared as shtein, that's the worrisome part. He hit an elbow jumper from about 10 feet the other night and he looked just fine. I'm not a sports psychologist but it seems deeper than he just can't shoot.
he has a top 10 usage rate on a terrible team
simmons has the highest vorp of any player in that draft
This team can't shoot and can't play defense. Other than that they're stagnant on the floor. No rotation, no one crashes the boards... it's delightful to watch.
you like the magic
The turnovers my god
Five in the last six possessions
And a transition three

another year with a chance at a bowl I'll take the playoff win
if ben could shoot he might have 50 this game...theres is not anyone on the blazers that can remotely stop him from getting whatever he wants...the problem is they can play off him so much that it allows them to somewhat "defend" him

i was confident up by 16 that they were losing. because that was the exact moment that bayless came in.
that one really hurt.
nm
ok, for discussions purposes, if brown gets the boot, who would you all want to see in his place ?
eddie jordan
the obvious choice, but let's think outside of the box a lil.
Stackhouse or Brent Barry are the golden candidates right now.
doug moe...i'm pretty sure they're still paying him anyway.
then matt geiger would be the obvious choice for asst coach.
tank for trae young?
No Gay, Ginobili, Leonard, Green or Parker for the Spurs tonight.
Do the Sixers lose by more than 15?
with no embiid they easily could
rudy gay is having a solid year but none of those guys are good players except kwahi and only rudy is in top 5 mpg on the roster
i could see patty mills having a half dozen threes
According to the 76ers twitter feed, Embiid is starting.

10

Booker got himself a Baldy finger
the sixers had like 4 players who belong in the nba but the bulls had 0
farging ryan archidikano who is garbage was getting run for them. fred hoiberg gave up coaching at some point in the third quarter and one of the assistants was doing it.
archie came in when they were down by 25. and the bulls are 15-10 in their last 25. not sure how anyone can not be happy with that win.
how were the meat pies?
the guys next to us actually got them and i almos threw up in my mouth
archie got a first half run and then played garbage time. there might have been 1 other stint. he sucks regardless and i have no clue how the bulls have won any games. they are dreadful.
and im not unhappy with the win i dont even know hows that possible. they beat a bad team it happens all the time.

Timmy wawa has been a legit player since jj went out.
And Jojo just teabagged Russ.
russ vs tj is not fair
miss more at the rim sixers
With boogie out there's a very good chance Jojo gets 1st team alll nba this year, which means $5M more against the cap in the offseason.
forgot mo is an assistant for the thunder
shouldnt he be doing this at home?
that was absolutely embarrassing by ben
at this point i pretty much just want markelle fultz to shrivel up and die.....im so far and away over it...chalk it up as an L and move on

Last name under the jersey numbers is such an awful look

Love with a broken hand. Since Drummond got it for wall I have a feeling our boy ben gets in the all star game.
Sixers are showing interest in Tyreke Evans. The Grizz want a first for him, which is a huge no for a guy on the final year of his contract.
sixers should fill out their roster with all chester grads....i would love this
Any guesses for Jah's stat line tonight?
Horrible
Go Birds 🦅
It's like in the fourth quarter they turn into the 2014 Sixers.
putrid but whatever the eagles
I love Brett but at some point he's gotta be accountable for this shtein. You cannot justify running out a lineup of Booker/Johnson/TJ/Bayless/Cov for an extended period of time. Let them right back in the game for absolutely no reason. Miami had given up.
Unreal how bad of a 4th quarter team they are.
and that was to the heat without dragic and whitesides
awful
I started doing shtein around my house in the 4th thinking no way they can blow this lead

I took the bait and listened to the podcast.
Probably my worst 15 minutes as a Philly fan since the Super Bowl. Giving Pompey a job writing at the paper was bad enough. Not sure why the Inquirer brand wants to be associated with a horribly produced, horrible audio quality podcast of a monotone guy making shtein up and blowing a trainer. Plus it's super boring. This podcast is only for when you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for Sixers content.
Wops lighting it up
Officiating is horrible tonight. Awful lob pass by wop then Ben gets pickpocketed by Wade
sixers might be good
still not high on BC but picking up belly nelly without giving up anything was a great move. at least someone to pick up the slack when roco goes on a 12 game cold streak.
I have no idea what these ridiculous ratings mean but they say the Sixers have a better shot of winning the title than the Celtics so I like it.

he shouldnt even go....but that would be an awful look for the franchise and would reverberate with potential free agents....sixers are basically handcuffed
however the leap of faith they put forward in giving him that deal should 100% keep him out of any non all star game activities

chicago is tanking.....that in bounds pass by valentine was one of the most obvious tanks ive ever seen...hoiberg actually called a timeout to run that...they got their career nights from two different young guys and then were like ok that's enough lets settle down now and get this loss
CONSPIRACY
the bulls are taking, sure, but denzel valentine doesnt care about ping pong balls. maybe he just sucks.
theres sucks and then theres what he did...hes not soft or dumb hes an izzo disciple....that inbounds pass was the laziest softest thing ive ever seen....he just wasnt there or trying
if you think players are intentionally losing then stop watching the game....theres no point
teams are putting inferior products on the court in an effort to lose games but the players on the court are trying. otherwise why are we here.
because a higher draft pick is more important than a february win versus the sixers
they clearly werent trying to lose until the end when they could directly effect the outcome...players arent going to tank a whole game because they have futures to worry about...but an inbound pass at the end and an inexplicable foul after that?...sure
also it very well may have been directed by hoiberg in the timeout
yeah it was a zesty pass but if embiid's arms weren't 7 feet long it would have been fine. lol at coach calling that up for them. bulls players were pissed as hell unless you think they were acting.
so just so i understand the bulls were trying when they came back from 18 down in 1Q...trying when levine hit the 3...not trying during the inbound/foul...then trying during the last shot? or was that intentionally missed?
pretty amazing coaching by hoiberg, made it seem so real. perfect game actually.

one player threw the inbound pass when the game mattered most...ten players played in the game when it didnt matter as much
when there are betting scandals teams dont go out miss every shot on purpose and lose the game by a shutout....they throw the game in the most crucial spots
i dont think theres any question valentine threw that ball away on purpose i watched every aspect of it like 50 times last night...it was clear to me...but you may not agree thats fine...what you need to know tho is how games are thrown....that shouldnt need to be explained
and actually while not as egregious as the inbound pass or subsequent foul the last play by portis was pretty pathetic

is wade 25 again?
also jj sucks
Maybe they should have given him 24 million.
holy shtein do they need a wing/guard that can finish at the rim....i am so farging sick of seeing players on this team take a great pass on a cut and cant finish because they are nonathletic fargs....and my god seeing tj drive underneath the rim to just bring it back out or throw some in close awful bounce pass is going to drive me to being the next school shooter
i swear to god people not named embiid had to have shot like 40% within 5 feet last night
booker out. ersan in.
another amazing trade by BC.
It was prob a fluke but that lebron around the back between his teammates legs oh my god
sixers arent winning this game but if they had lebron they would
cavs didnt even really try in the first half and they are only down three
what a gorgeous pass by ben...the little feint had nance completely lost
bellinelli is a disaster
theres no way lebron loses this
joooooooooooooooo
That jojo fadeaway was a thing of beauty
unreal sequence by jo...mans up on a guard 35 feet from the basket and blocks him at the rim...then just a sick beautiful fade away

its not even the drama for me...its the fact that hed move teams again to win...i want no part of that...he would never feel like sixer and the title would always go to lebron and not to the process...it would always be known as lebrons third best title...not the sixers third overall
For the record I do think he is coming. Too many hints like lebron likes to do

you cant make up this kind of crazy
Not wanting LeBron James might be the funniest example of outright lunacy I've ever read in this forum.
Love you guys.
quick draft pick update
there is practically zero chance the laker pick will convey this year
as of right now the sixers would pick 10 and 18 in this years draft
for next year this means that the celtics will get the kings pick (assuming the kings are worse than the sixers which is all but a certainty)

Jay gets criticized for not wanting Harper but not wanting Lebron (who cares for what reason) is somehow ok. The Sixers needed a player to get them over the top in 83' so they signed Moses. I don't see the big difference.
If your #1 team is the Sixers, getting LeBron is the sort of wish you'd trade an Eagles Super Bowl win for.
Like I used to say I would gladly have traded the '08 Phils for just one Eagles Super Bowl win before I die. Turns out I didn't have to, which is nice.

lebron is 33
harper is 25
lebron is a lifetime carpet bagger who will be on his third ring chase
harper has been on one team
lebron will play for the sixers for a couple years then move on or retire
harper will play for the phillies for probably the rest of his life
lebron wins a title its his title not the sixers
harper will build with the phillies for years before they win and it will be everyones
lebron will be using the sixers and wont give a farg about them
harper will be a phillie for life

Age is irrelevant
"ring chase"...isn't that the purpose of playing basketball?
Moses only played for the Sixers for 4 years (not counting when he came back in the 90's) over a 20 year career won a title and moved on
Do you think about the Sixers 83' title as Moses title or the Sixers?
It would be horrible if LeBron used the Sixers to win a title instead of using some other team.
acquiring enough assets & making the team an attractive destination for a big name free agent is the goal of "the process". that's why you free up that cap room.
now in a perfect world, would i rather see them use it on a younger guy..sure. but i sure as hell wouldn't turn down lebron for 2-3 years.
i mean if all you care about is championships then year get lebron....i like my championships not to be sullied and for me that would

no that was j's title all the players won it for him...but moses was traded to the sixers who were his second team in the nba at age 27...moses is and always will be known as a sixer....lebron would never be..its not even a comparison
if all you care about is titles more power to you....i care about the narrative and kind of titles...just a difference of opinion but to me a title with lebron would feel really dirty
You're too picky. I'm glad the Eagles beat the Pats in the SB and not the Jags for your sake.
the sixers "narrative" is already hurt by outright blatant tanking for 4 years...its weird but incompetence/lotto luck dont hurt you but playing jerami grant and hollis thompson 20 minutes a night do.
whenever people think of the sixers title, should they happen, it will be BUT YOU TANKED FOR A MILLION YEARS. so what difference does it make if lebron is factored into that.

just insane how much better they are with jo on the court

They are def whistle happy tonight.
Right as MKG gets a T.
nice little win here....charlotte not very good but was playing solid lately and sixers back to back after a big game in cleveland and five in seven
man with their schedule they have such a good chance to get the 4, at least
need toronto to pull this off tonight
bullets take the L
also sixers are now 6 games up on detroit in the loss column
playoff spot is locked and loaded
before this year it was six years since any philly team had won a playoff series...and they had only played in one playoff series...total
now eagles won the super bowl....flyers and sixers will both be playing this spring
when was the last time all 4 were in the playoffs? nola game 1 right
i could be wrong but i think it was 2009....which was bedwetter air guitar heidi choking against the yanks and the topper of them all
tony dileo actually coached an nba team at all but also did so in the farging playoffs
weve come a long way
technically that was the eagles 08 season but playoffs were in 09...i dont know how to specifically correlate that to the 08/09 sixers but whatever lets go with it
that sixers team had moses as an assistant?!?
they did but no idea if it was that year
I'm gonna say the last time these same three teams made the playoffs with a legitimate chance to actually make some noise was circa 2003.
I love where they are headed but I don't think flyers are primed to win even a round much less make noise....too young and suspect goaltending but mostly because of the new playoff format....it's absolutely critical that they win the division if they want any chance to win a round
Just think how good this team will be next year when the have LeBron in the fold.

Defensively yes they're too young and they're going to be exposed big time come playoff time. I never count an NHL team out because hockey playoffs are weird, a goalie can get hot, weird bounces, a team suddenly turns it up a notch etc. The Flyers were utterly dominated when they played the Caps in the playoffs a few years ago but Neuvirth came in and stole them a few games. Who knows, if he starts instead of Mason maybe they win that series.

i think if the flyers win the division they could win a series against say new jersey or carolina...but if they dont win it they get wash or pittsburgh and i just cant see them winning a series against either of them unless like you said everything jumps their way

to show how far the sixers have come they are on the road on national tv against a team that is more or less as good as them and they are favored
oh my god the sixers
RTRS podcast bused in 400+ today from chicago and they are loud as farg.
also i parlayed sixers -2 and O 208 for 100 bucks pays out 380.
why did tj leave parker there....farging idiot
Covington accidentally made a shot there.
Quarter 4 Sixers came out early today.
Don't bother covering Terry strategy isn't working
everyone makes a run in the nba...so much so that in the first half its not even a run....more like a correction

sure but simmons is so good at everything else i cant let it slide for now..its something he ostensibly can improve in the offseason

QuoteJoel Embiid has now triggered part one of the minutes criteria of his rookie extension. Embiid has now played in 1,650 minutes for the 2017-18 season. If Embiid played a minimum of 1,650 regular-season minutes in three consecutive seasons during the extension, or three out of four including the 2017-18 season, the injury benchmarks would be eliminated. For example, if Embiid plays in 1,650 minutes in 2018-19, 2019-20 or 2020-21 the remaining years of his contract would be guaranteed even if he suffers an injury to his feet or back. The $146M rookie extension signed in October and begins this July has a cap hit of $25.2M, $27.3M, $29.3M, $31.3M and $33.3M. The total value will increase to $176M if Embiid earns All-NBA First Team.
Molly lookin great tonight.
Fultz/Anderson standing behind her was creepy
80% shooting from the floor a quarter and a half in
is that good?
Jah cut himself shaving
what the farg is molly talking about...they just gave up 60 in a half to the nets and she asks roco how have they been so good on defense
lights get dimmer down biggies hallway
cavs out here losing to lakers
gimme dat 3
they are losing to indiana tomorrow which puts them three games behind the pacers and most likely out of contention for the 3rd seed
they dont lose home games
as expected they are gettin absolutely run
Down 4 at the half
hes a nice player but jo cannot be getting dominated by myles turner in a game this big
Simmons walks a lot and it's never called
this is the closest rout ive ever seen...its largely been btwn 3 and 6 pts the entire game but at no time was there ever a feeling the sixers had a remote chance of winning
im ok with a young team who has no ball handlers getting a lot of turnovers....but im just about done with 20+ turnover games and no even little signs of improvement
jo has an inexcusable 7 turnovers tonight and the pacers team has 8
wont get charged with it but that was another jo turnover
Should have held onto Thad
What a gift
Dario not good at the jump ball
jo 3 for the tie was just about the worst thing hes ever done
covey and jo the only players on the team who played more than ten minutes and were a plus
jo +1
covey +15
covey on oldipo much of the game and totally dominated him and yet they still lost at home...thats what a billion turnovers will do
ever since they got ersan and especially bellinelli the sixers defense has sucked....belly needs to be cut...he is atrocious

their weaknesses i think will really show in the playoffs and if they win a round id be really surprised...not a knock just reality...unfortunately right now the things they arent good at are playoff killers
shut up.
also the crowd for markelle is giving me chills. so good.

this is the third game in a row where i said its their best game of the year.

@gsw, @sac, @clips, @nugs, gsw, @raps, @hornets, hornets
1. i believe the cavs would have the tiebreaker over the sixers even if the sixers win that game (even season series, cavs winning their division, sixers are not), but still...
2. sixers have to beat the cavs.
2. my thinking is you can write off the pacers...west coast swing and 2 home games = 1 too many losses
3. sixers have 5 lock wins left (ny, atl x2, bkn, mavs). cavs have 3 (mavs, ny x2)
4. so it comes down the @cha, @det and mil. bucks could very well have 0 to play for in that last game of the season, meaning theyd rest their guys for the playoffs.
5. do the cavs have 3 losses remaining? @mia, @cha, no, tor, wsh. id say no. 2 is a much better bet. which means...
6. the sixers can only lose 1 more game, and it better not be to the cavs.
38% chance according to these guys: http://www.playoffstatus.com/nba/sixersstandings.html
My gut says about 85/15 Cavs. Not getting my hopes up until I see the Cavs drop a game they shouldn't.
87ers are now the Blue Coats.
pretty hard to come up with a name worse than 87ers but they managed to do it
Nice loss by the Cavs last night. And this...

So Embiid is definitely dying from this, right? We can't have so many nice things at once, right?
He's probably retiring from CTE.
fultz out there like a bobblehead he actually face smashed both jojo and the defender on that same play.

Both bball and hockey HOFs are both jokes to me. I just figured that if he wasn't in by now, it wasn't going to happen. The list of finalists does look like it's about 75% Mo level players though.
mo was a great pg...one of the best ever at the time he retired. of course, there've been a bunch of better pg's since.

actually you don't have to think that
its a face injury...he wears a mask and its fine. its not his knee or his back. if i know jojo hes not missing game 1.
the issue may be the team holding him back.
also game one is at the two week and two day mark of a two to four week window....not saying he definitely wont play but theres no way you "gotta think hes back for game 1"
Just from the concussion part, there's no way you can guarantee he's back in two weeks. We've seen them clear in 24 hours, and we've seen it take forever.
So, back to the birds.............
We all knew this end of year schedule was great but wow it could not have worked out better. They look like shtein and still up by 12.
the hawks are an abomination
hinkie would be proud of this
yay!
Simmons passing the ball is a thing of beauty. The around the back flip to Belinelli was some Globetrotters shtein out there. Loved it.
OMG Mr Simmons. I have goosebumps.
They might to stop this one before someone gets hurt
This is actually happening, right?
the cavs are garbage but they for some reason really tried hard against the bullets last night and have zilch tonight
this was always the game they needed. thanks guys.
I watched the GOAT for four hours today. Then I saw Ben. Um.
Please don't let this half go the way I'm afraid it's gonna go.
Yeah my goosebumps have settled down.
sixers really missing embiids d in the 3rd
They did it, but goddamn. This farging team.
well that was something
marco saved them 3Q...they were crumbling and he hit a few key jumpers
ben went to a different level and matched the goat. if he develops a jumper...dear lord we might have a top 10 all time player
ersan was an atrocity and almost single handedly lost the game
i have no idea how they kept getting caught on the p&r with marco on lebron. no adjustment to that?
lebron is super human. he whines a lot and pushes off all the time but my god its a joy to watch him
Quote from: MDS on April 06, 2018, 09:50:41 PM
i have no idea how they kept getting caught on the p&r with marco on lebron.
they werent pick n rolls....they were farging iso'ing marco on him....i love brett brown but my god i understand the game plan is to not help on lebron but you cant do that when its marco bellinelli....and they even put JJ on him late as well
the two take aways tonight and they were blatant is how sick markelle looked and the idea that if he becomes a secondary star player how good they could be
and not that it was a secret because ive been telling people this for a few years now who didnt want to listen but how farging good a defender robert covington is
Fultz looks like what a normal all-star looks like as a rookie. Impressive moves in his repertoire but still super raw. Ben is on some other planet.
Ersan was bad, but JJ was cold in that third quarter too. Ugly heave by a white guy, uncontested LeBron dunk, ugly heave by a white guy, Jeff Green gets a clean look from downtown, ugly heave by a white guy, LeBron powers inside for easy layup... at least make them work for it a little. Sixers were obviously the deeper team, just slow up Bron a little and life is way easier.
lebron at the rim was more or less a result of jo being hurt....no one is stopping lebron...but around half his at the rim finishes tonight are pull ups or free throws if the process is playing

there were a few times marco was on him but during that 3q/4q run marco was on that dopey white guy from transylvania, whod set a pick and then marco was on lebron, so possession over
finally in the last 2 minutes they left him alone to miss open 3s
nah watch again...the three it might have been four times he was on him were in straight up half court sets where he was on him and got zero help....straight isos...but for sake of argument lets say it was a pnr they still had him iso'ed on lebron with no help....it was ridiculous
i was screaming my lungs out at the tv which i never do at that...roco was on the other side of the court. maddening.
when it first started to happen i knew roco wasnt in foul trouble but i had to look because it was the only explanation...but nope of course he wasnt
I stopped by Wawa for a couple hoagies a while ago and a dude was wearing head to toe Sixers gear including a Ben jersey. I was wearing my SB hat and we got to talking about what a great time it is to be a Philly fan. That shtein last night was flat out exciting.

Thought 40 wins and a playoff spot would be a good season. Didn't think 50 wins was a reality.
flyers going sun/mon and wed for their series, so the sixers will go sat and tue? i think that makes sense.
Quote from: AO1 on April 08, 2018, 03:16:16 PM
Didn't think 50 wins was a reality.
50 would have been a crazy prediction, but then again I don't think any of us were predicting a Magic Johnson rookie year from Simmons.
You don't go through the Process with the idea of eventually getting back to winning 40 games every year though. If things worked, I figured this year would be the 40 win season and next year is when you have to make the leap to being seen as a legitimate threat to win a series. Sixers are ahead of schedule.
It does help that half the league is actively tanking though. Not sure even Hinkie imagined the Sixers would get an added boost in the rebirth phase from GMs trying to copy him.
Congrats to you Sixers fans for making the playoffs.
Good luck to you guys.
game 1 will either be 530 or 800 on saturday
id suspect the 300 abc slot will go to lebron or the dubs
sixers have a top ten pick in the draft right now
11. charlotte, 35-47 - at indiana tonight
10. lakers, 34-46 - houston tonight, at clippers tomorrow
locked up the 10th pick last night....dont go too far mikeal bridges
who would have thought two years ago that backup C would be a need so quickly.
but yeah I like bridges too, there will be a handful of good wings available at 10.
Bridge is a no-brainer if he falls to 10 but he'll be gone before that spot. The tourney put him on display and raised his value from 10-15 to 5-10.
he a three and d guy not a wing which is why i dont think he makes it much above 10 if at all...but hes potentially an elite 3&D so i guess someone could reach for him

tonights card
all games at 8:00
bucks at sixers – in theory bucks should tank this game to avoid cleveland
bullets at magic – magic are tank arron but only way bullets can get the dreaded 6 hole is if they win
knicks at cleveland – simply put theres zero chance the knicks win this game
toronto at miami – toronto zero to play for and probably wont dress everyone but miami like washington has little incentive to win because of that 6 spot
sixer first round scenarios
cleveland wins and the sixers lose = sixers v. pacers
cleveland and the sixers both lose = sixers v. bucks
cleveland and sixers both wins:
1. heat and bullets win = sixers v. heat
2. heat win and bullets lose = sixers v.heat
3. heat lose and bullets win = sixers v. bullets
4. heat and bullets lose = sixers v. bucks
pretty incredible with one game left for everyone the sixers can still play up to four different teams in the first round

with the bucks done both teams really really wanna win
are the bullets even trying tonight
they should be....its the possible difference btwn getting a decimated celtics team or the raptors
With the Bucks going down, both the Heat and the Wizards can't win themselves into the 7 seed right? Winning only gives them the Sixers instead of the Raptors. Heat get the Cs by staying put.
but you also wanna avoid 8 and milwaukee loses all the tie breakers
Once you know the Bucks are losing, it's kind of a prisoner's dilemma scenario. That's what is playing out now.
The Wizards can only get the 7 if Miami also wins. Miami can only get the 7 if both teams lose. But if only one of them wins, the Bucks get it.
I think that's right.
both teams waking up now
both lose its mil, mia, wash
both win its mia, wash, mil
mia wins wash loses its mia, mil, wash
wash wins, mia loses its wash, mil, mia

If both teams are trying to rig it for the 7 seed, and assuming the Raptors and Magic don't care too much, this could get funny. Washington want to coax Miami into winning and Miami wants to coax Washington into losing.
obviously missing cleveland was #1 but you can see why milwaukee also wanted to ensure a loss as they own the celtics in 50% of the heat bullet result combos
What would have been the odds a month ago that fultz gets a triple double this year, 10000-1?
gotta love that reaction
bucks it is
dwayne casey wasnt playin tonight...both lowry and derozan got 35+ minutes

no jo for 1
Embiid himself at the Bucks game said he'd probably miss Game 1, but no one in the media really made a big deal about it.
yeah it was known a while ago that he was out....for some reason brett brown said it today on dan patrick and it became news
only one who said anything before brett was jojo himself and i figured there was a chance he was just bullshteinting.
I can't stop watching replays of the team mobbing Fultz after his triple double. The Birds and Sixers are so farging easy to root for these days, it's a nice break from the relentlessly awful reality of the rest of the world.

spolestra has made an amazing and very interesting adjustment tonight....the thought with ben was always play off him cause he cant shoot a lick but when you give him space he will light you up passing the ball....tonight they are in his chest deep so he cant breathe and its worked wonderfully...havent seen him this frustrated all year
every sixer is playing like a little bitch tonight
they are not winning a game in miami without jo
can jo theoretically play right now
you know who cant?
fultz
ben is the only one putting hands on them, need to throw some people around but that's the problem when you have so many white people.
TJ somehow playing worse than Game 1.
roco has 2 pts in 28 minutes
TJ is minus 10 in four minutes
yes TJ is the reason they look like shtein.
wow what a gift that is if it stands
def stands not even close. grit.
every sixer starter has at least three fouls cept roco who has none....SOFT as tissue paper

TJ just straight sucks and its a joke that hes playing over the number one overall pick but they arent losing cause of him...hes worthless
but if you dont think 2 pts in 30+ minutes for the starting SF is not contributing to a loss then i dont know what to say
silver lining is he def plays game 3. i was ok with them sitting him until their first loss.

Regardless of quality of pass, he knew it was coming. Need to catch that.
Oh well. At least it stops any murmurs from the moron crowd of maybe they're better without Joel.
whats crazy about tonight is that all year when the sixers had a game like this it usually meant 20+ turnovers.....but they actually protected the ball tonight
miami played up on them really well but 6 for 34 from three is the story of this game
Never felt like they were winning this because they couldn't get stops, until that 4q run. Tricked me into thinking they'd pull it out until the Saric strip. Air immediately came out of the balloon
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Da9EkdrVMAITRPE.jpg:large)
I had a feeling that was coming from Joe-El.
if your bones were stronger than a baby's perhaps you wouldn't be treated like a baby.
i still can't believe how awful their shooting was last night. minor win is they were still within 2 in the 4th with nobody really catching fire.
after the Saric strip when they went down 4 again I felt like they morphed into, well, we're down two possessions, need to jack up 3s suddenly, and it went to hell quickly. Ben was really good in the 2nd half, but that's where he needs to step in and get to the rim so they don't have Redick/Cov and co. just jacking up desperation 3s.

that was with a horible roco sequence where he went for an impossible steal, got lucky the ball was loose, then missed a layup badly in transition.

how bad would it suck to have to root for these heat players. what an unlikable bunch.

He's by far the most disappointing player on the Sixers in this series and he's still less embarrassing than Hassan Whiteside.
holy shtein that play by embiid to force johson to shovel to wade then on a dime stop on johnson and come back to make wade completely change his shot was beyond unreal for a guy his size
Covington playing his best ball of the series in absolute garbage time.

no one has been more embarrassing than markelle fultz...whiteside cant play at all when the sixers go small and even with embiid he has to come away from the basket....its just a terrible stylistic series for him...covey has at least played his usual terrific D...hes just in one of his shooting funks....fultz should still be in college...i dont know what his numbers were but he was something like a minus 10 in three minutes tonight....and brett was like you will not be playing anymore son
all you need to know about fultz is for the 2nd straight game was was benched in the 2nd half for tj farging mcconnell
but otherwise this was a damn impressive win. road playoff win in their first try. were clearly the superior team, especially in the 4th.

regardless this was the second straight game fultz was benched for the second half...hes a deer in headlights out there...i cant believe how bad he was tonight
Brett's lineups for the most part have been great. JA our there is necessary against these guys.

well yeah anderson played before fultz ever did...the point is anderson ran point after markelle in the first half....and ben played an extra five minutes....it wasnt like they replaced fultz with TJ
in fact tj played less than he did in either game 1 or 2
QuoteEmbiid mentions Winslow stepping on and trying to break his mask: "Little did they know I have 50 of them...I'm going to be a nightmare for them, too."
i think i might give jo an hj if he asked
this shtein is sloppy today
tj so bad
fultz should retire if hes worse than that
They may want to get their heads out of their asses any time now.
Not good. Will improve. End.
I don't think this is a good thing but it's obvious how important belly and ersan are on this team. Ersan single handedly getting them back in this.

Just the usual shtein talking that led to chest puffing and then a Heat fan being escorted out. Sixers fan was a douche, though. He was running his mouth the whole game and deserved to get drilled.
Unfortunately the process trusters are the most insufferable fans in all of sports at this moment. Small price to pay being able to watch a team like this though.

I love watching JoJo toss that little Slovenian bitch Dragic around
this has turned outright awful
Jesus farg! that was three fouls on Johnson before he decapitated Belinelli and Reddick
Sixers don't know how to hit a field goal right now but those dumb fargs keep sending JJ and Marco to the line.

i forgot to compliment you guys for being really smart and cool for worshiping at the ground of 4 years of losing and thoroughly enjoying watching alexi schved play
but to be fair nobody here is as bad as the process trusters led by that hipster dork spike eskin
and again while i was most certainly critical of hinkie doing things like tanking then spending 2 draft picks on guys who werent going to play (an insulting move albeit one, 4 years later, that has paid off), i knew what they were doing was the right move. was i skeptical of it? sure. im skeptical that the eagles won the super bowl and i didnt dream it, too.
still waiting for my compliment.
once the bullets beat the raptors ill give your squad props
I don't have a problem with people who have an ethical issue with it. If you just have a position that purposefully losing should not be rewarded etc, fine. I don't agree but if that's what it is then that's fine.
HOWEVER, someone saying that strategically it wasn't the right decision is farging dumb. It was dumb at the time and it's been proven that said position is dumb. It was the only viable option they had to a title. If THAT is why you were anti Process and mocked it then gtfo.

Can someone give me the cliff notes on the whole, "Meek Mill" thing? I don't really know who he is. I think he's a 'rapper' (post golden era)?
rapper from philly who got caught up in the muck and mire of our criminal justice system and went to jail for it
altho that is the second worst thing thats ever happened to him....behind getting eaten alive in a battle with drake

I still am a Magic fan. I'm also from Philly, so of course I'll cheer for them.
Also - I've watched more Sixers games in the last week than I have since Charles Barkley was fat (the first time) or picked up a golf club (also for the first time).
I'm enjoying the hell out of this team and I hope they win it all.
If that upsets anyone here, especially the guy from suburban Maryland, all the better.
Go Sixers!
Oh...one other thing... should I update my profile photo to a Sixers logo to be cool and shtein?
Thx...
at least you are not taking it seriously....kudos for that
In all seriousness Ben Simmons is going to be so farging good. This team really does remind me of the Shaq/Penny Magic teams. When they get their Horace Grant, watch out.

jaylen brown doubtful for G1
this is huge
somehow the east series and west series are on the same day, so either 600 or 830 starts are in store
this makes zero sense
what do you mean the sixers are the only game tomorrow
then an early late double header Tuesday
nba never does dumb shtein like that
look later in the series....the east seres are the same days once you get past g1
they are the late game for thursday because the time had to be announced and they were protecting against the possibility of the weaker game (indy/raps) being in primetime. obviously it didnt turn out that way but if they could flip them now they would.
game 4, 5 and 6 are all on the same day. the schedule im seeing in google has the cavs at 830, which means the sixers are likely 600.
game 3 and 7 are weekends and dont have this concern.
oh I thought you were saying games started at the same time like the NHL does
game 4 is already at 600...5 and 6 will be too if the cavs are playing
Hopefully that was the first and last 5 min stretch this series with JJ on Tatum.
The Sixers can start playing any time now...
Celts targeting Marco every single possession
Man Covington is bad offensively sometimes.
This is the game scrubs like Baynes and Smart make threes.

Much more deliberate and disciplined tonight. Doing well even though Simmons has been invisible.
I get Simmons not taking 18 footers but Boston is giving him 8 foot shots in the lane and he isn't looking to take them. He has been shooting those this year.
Look at Covey showing up on both ends tonight.
Simmons needs to show up at some point.
that was a complete beat down the last 5 minutes. 26-8 C's run.
Horford took literally 5 steps on the rebound before Rozier's 3.
BB sitting on his hands during that whole run is unhelpful. Simmons absolutely useless that half.
My hatred for Boston is now back in full force. I went to school at the University of New Hampshire and I was surrounded by these obnoxious chowdah heads. They are pretty bad. I'm sure they hate our guts as well.

i obviously know shtein will go wrong soon but they are right now, not even a question, the best team in the east. at this moment.
as long as they keep playing tanking teams....nuggets arent tanking but they are at the end of a monster road trip which usually means death in the nba and why they have given up this half...everyone else lately been garbage as are the next 6 i think
their weaknesses i think will really show in the playoffs and if they win a round id be really surprised...not a knock just reality...unfortunately right now the things they arent good at are playoff killers
sag off Ben guard his passing lanes and render him useless
zero athleticism and shot making skills on the wing
amazingly their turnovers have been acceptably good
yeah, ben & jojo are the only guys in the rotation who aren't below average athletically. you can only go so far with players like that.
It's gotta be tough to watch Tatum light your asses up while Fultz sits on the bench lost in his feels.
not as tough as watching a florida state team full of rapists even though you claim to be a liberal
BILL COSBY CHOSE TEMPLE.
the university's enabling of that monster is a farging disgrace
and in true trump supporting fashion, instead of admitting your wrongs, you HILLARY FOR PRISON on to the next thing
Well first of all I wasn't trashing the Sixers or their choice of Fultz. I was simply saying it's gotta suck from their perspective to see the guy they didn't pick light it up against them.
Second, I'm not sure why you and the other one continually bring up Florida State. It's kinda weird, really. I'm a fan of their football team and have been since I was 11 years old. So what? Every college program has their issues. FSU isn't any worse or better. They have managed to recruit someone who became an actual Rhodes Scholar, and who is now a neurosurgeon at Mass General. How many ex-Owl football players can claim a similar achievement?
Finally, I'm cheering for the Sixers mostly because I'm from Philly and they're the home team. I don't have any particular dog in this fight other than I really like Ben Simmons. If that's too much for you to take, well, too bad, so sad for you.

Apparently all the team needed was more TJ.
Grit cures all evils
Watched game 3 on the cruise. They had one sports channel (non HD too) and that's the only game they showed.
I was the sole Sixers fan surrounded by about five Celtics fans. I lost my shtein when Bellineli hit that shot. And then drank a ton after they couldn't inbound the goddamn ball
Robert Covington will also force you to drink
the sixers are playing
on some possessions
(https://media.giphy.com/media/11ZBS1nWCknSi4/giphy.gif)
brett is out of ideas...in comes justin friggin anderson
That shot by Simmons sums up his series. what the hell was that?
farging turnover machine, the gift that keeps on giving
They are gonna farg around and win this one aren't they? And then lose by 20 in Game 6?
out of control ben drive followed by useless tj double team followed by dario unathletic turnover
might be it
This hurt so much for me...like more than any sports event in the last 10 years. I would have been less sad if we lost the super bowl.
I'm still on the fence with brett. i blame today on JJ mostly. jojo is going to be a top 25 player of all time but he obviously is still too young. ben with a jump shot is a game changer. so many things. i am sad but the process skipped 2 years so this is good.
that missed jj 3 will destroy me....i mean you just cant miss that. you cant.
Silver lining time. If the 2019 Sac pick winds up being #1 overall the Celtics get the Sixers pick.
yeah today is on him. he looked like he was going to explode at one point. i mean they all did dumb things but we paid him 23 mil do be our vet and literally exactly for that shot.
i think he will still be here because he already made more than he would have in 3 years, and he's used to the drive from brooklyn...and his deal with colengelo from his podcast this year seemed genuine...but whatever...right now farg JJ. i grew to love him though.
just make a 3 before there is 8 seconds left.
i can't believe how much of a mess i am over this.
I've seen a lot of shtein form this franchise the past 45+ years and yes last night sucked but I am trying to find something in this that helps give me some hope. 8 weeks ago I was praying they somehow squeezed into the playoffs, get a little experience and build off that. Next thing we know it's 17 in a row, Kyrie goes down, Celtics are done, #3 seed and suddenly it's all this talk of being in the finals. Most everyone underestimated the Celtics. I am guilty, I drank the Kool-Aid. Unfortunately Simmons weaknesses were magnified, Covington looked like a deer in the head lights all series, JoJo looked gassed from game 1, Stevens is if not the best he is one of the best coaches in the NBA, and sloppy turnover basketball doomed the Sixers.
I truly hope this lights a fire under their ass and this battle with Boston continues for another decade. Simmons finds a mid range shot, JoJo continues to improve, a good draft, secure some veteran leadership, Fultz??? As a Philadelphia sports fan my entire life the Sixers/Celtics wars from the late 70's into the early 80's were some of the best memories I have of Philadelphia sports. It was truly incredible stuff. I want more.
ben was -63 in the series and didnt hit a shot outside of 5 feet in FIVE GAMES
they were plus 30 when he wasnt on the court
this is a monster problem and if any one thing lost them the series it was this....he also is completely worthless in crunch time situations since he cant shoot
a close second is the fact that they have one wing defender and he didnt defend very well this series...the series might go seven if bellinelli doesnt play....hes a historically bad defender and its not just talent...he gives zero effort when he isnt on offense...just doesnt care at all...even when hes shooting well hes still probably a net negative but when his shot isnt on hes legit the worst rotation player in the nba
people point to the jj three as the killer but i thought the bunny tj missed in the lane was just as big...sixers were on an 11-2 run and would have gone up by 6 with a little over two minutes left and had all the momentum...hard to say this after blowing the 5 pt lead late in ot of game four but i just felt like if tj made that they win
i dont have a problem with it because its playoff basketball and it was a shot right at the rim but jo jo was hammered by baynes on the last shot...in general horford and baynes gave jo jo fits...jo got his but he was pretty inefficient all series...not sure they doubled him until the second half of last night...thats a big W for boston
most depressing part of this is that tatum and brown will get more out of these playoffs than jo and ben plus the celtics start off free agency by signing kyrie and haywood and just won in five without them

celtics get the better of the sixers/kings first rounder unless its number 1 and if it is the sixers get it and the celtics get the other pick

Thanks for clarifying exactly what I said
The Sixers did well on their late run because Bellinelli and Ersan were hitting outside shots. Horrible defense aside it opened things up and they were able to pull away. They were both horrible in the playoffs. Ersan was god awful. Good riddance to both players.
My offseason wishes in order:
Lebron
Kawhi
George
I don't give a flying farg how or who they win with as long as they win. I'd rather win with Lebron than lose to the Celtics every year.
oh i thought you were saying somehow the pick changed in the last 24 hrs...anyway welcome to last june
also those bums were hitting outside shots because they were playing the hawks sixteen times down the stretch
Great truths in Philly sports:
The Sixers will never beat the Celtics.
The Flyers will never get another goalie.
The Phillies will always mess up their draft pick.
The Eagles will never win the Super Bowl.
yes or no is fultz on the team next year
Quote from: MDS on May 10, 2018, 09:54:33 AM
yes or no is fultz on the team next year
To me, that's just asking if they trade for Kawhi. If yes, then Fultz is likely part of it. If no, then I think he's still on the team.
As of now, I think that trade doesn't happen.
Why would they give up on him after 1 year?
That's just dumb.
they wouldnt....i think they are saying he would be in a trade for someone which is almost as ridiculous....only way he isnt on the team is if he quits basketball...which while highly unlikely is much more possible than them letting him go
doesn't even really seem that unlikely. there is no life in that kid's eyes.
i agree i just dont think theres any chance he gives back his money
i dont think he quits, though you cant rule it out completely
packaging him with other assets for a bigger piece? how is that not on the sixers table of thinking. does anyone want him is an entirely different story
they arent getting pennies on the dollar for the number one overall pick 12 months after they drafted him and who they traded a lottery pick and jayson tatum to get...forget fultzs value...just optically i couldnt see coangelo doing that
what you are saying would be a possibility if he held value and was an important but not the top piece in a trade for someone
like terry rozier is a lesser piece in a trade for kawhi
also the sixers arent getting kawhi without trading ben or jo
Reclamation projects work if the proper staff is in place. Does anyone really think Brett Brown is capable of getting Fultz squared away?
And FTR I think Fultz just needs to get the farg away from everyone in Philly. Go take a couple of weeks off and sit in the sun. Then come back fresh and ready to work.
markelle on summer league: "My biggest goal this year is just to improve in any way I can, really. So if that's what we all feel like is best for me, I'm for sure looking forward to doing it."
he took about 20 weeks off. didn't seem to help.
it's so sad because markelle of 15 months ago is exactly what this team needed.
i don't blame colanegelo for this one because nothing like this has ever happened before. there have been busts onbviously but not guys who just forgot how to play.
Oh god. Just trade the kid to San Antonio already and let Pop fix him.
i have no doubt he'll become an all star if he goes somewhere else.
i dont think it had anything to do with being in philly...hes not from idaho or some spoiled baby like lindros or mcnabb
he played ball on the east coast. thats not easy. what happened to him makes zero sense to this day. but its not like he saw the bright lights of the city or fell victim to the pressure of keith pompey
yeah in fact he seems amazingly happy to be on the team
problem is he doesn't seem like he wants to play basketball...anywhere
yeah i agree...i'm not blaming philly....he just seems much happier in a suit than on the court.

I'll get ridiculed for this but here goes:
Fultz's father abandoned his family when he was young. He needs a mentor/father figure. I know Wade said the Heat were his final stop before retirement, but he seemed genuinely interested in the Sixers youth after their first round series. The Sixers should push to trade for him and have him be Fultz's mentor.

dont just think of it as them just getting a good pick...think of it as them getting a good asset that can be flipped to get another superstar
if i had to bet id say theres little chance they make this selection
or put it this way if they are making this pick then jo jos foot got amputated markelle fultz retired and ben simmons is starring on keeping up with the kardashians

oh well shouldnt have gone to nova, suburbs boy
Quote from: MDS on June 21, 2018, 09:33:54 PM

it was the fifth time it happened tonight
his moms works for the team, hes from malvern and went to nova
this was different
i mean its the big boy world and shtein goes down, but they shouldve at least put the presser off. all the way around its a total hinkie move -- asset collection and done in a heartless, sociopathic way
making moves because of who your human resources director is seems like a bad way to run a franchise
im not criticzing the move im just saying someone shouldve pulled him aside before the presser and told him something was in the works and to chill
no one cares
happens all the time during the nba draft....im sure its happened multiple times tonight
he didnt go to villanova and his mom didnt work there its a non story
the thing that people should complain about is the nba's way of doing it....just farging let teams trade up and make their own pick like the nfl does
sixers did nothing different than any other team has for years....you just dont hear about it

again you dont run your franchise by where someone went to college or because mommy works in HR....the fact that i need to explain this is how far the farg we done fell
you are blowing past the point
in no way shape or form am i complaining about the trade itself. i dont care if he grew up wearing nothing but AI jerseys and was a hinkie bot.
but this was a special set of circumstances. local kid. mom works for the team. nova. fanbase wanted him. you want to trade him? fine. dont hang him out to dry like that and make him think it happened. thats all.
you are missing the point....the way the nba draft is run this happens every year most likely including tonight
yes press conference and all
if dook went to michigan state no one would be saying anything
if i werent jewish i wouldnt be 3 years away from being thrown in an oven
except i am and except he was a local kid with these circumstances and someone shouldve done something to prevent this pr mess.
no one will remember this in probably 12 hrs but 24 max
I'd much rather have had Williams than Shamet.
Yup
they need shooters more than they need a back up center
they are at the point where they can finally draft for need not best player
Quote from: ice grillin you on June 21, 2018, 10:37:17 PM
they need shooters more than they need a back up center

It's whatever at this point but not sure what Shamet offers other than 3 pt shooting and seems like from what I'd read no one had him at 26 range.
you can sign guys who can shoot but do nothing else in FA. hard to find a top tier talent with an attitude problem to back up your star player who hits the ground every other play.
i mean if you think embiid is going to get hurt then maybe you take williams but otherwise there just isnt going to be many high leverage minutes for him over the next five years
im not saying he will but if shamet turns into a good nba shooter he will provide much more to the team
nothing is more crucial right now than putting shooters and playmakers around simmons....can get a back up center anytime
i don't disagree with any of that other than shamet turning into a great shooter. scrub pick.
i mean if you wanted another shooter or playmaker over shamet fine...but williams didnt make much sense there
thomas pick is actually really good.
now for the stashes.
traded
ha what the farg.
i am very skeptical about brett the GM at this moment.
bonga traded too for a CHI 2nd.
now that i'm digesting all this i'm starting to like it a bit more. with zaire, bolden, hopefully JJ back and one FA, there are not many spots open anyway. getting these picks later down the line could be clutch af.
i dont think they can bring jj back and get a max slot guy
realized i already forgot about lacey sharbet.
and yeah i agree, i don't think they get a top tier FA this summer anyway.
basically they got zaire, lacey, an unprotected first and 3 future seconds tonight. and two more picks to go. i've already talked myself into it being a good draft.
Reading through the draft grades for the Sixers was one of the stranger experiences I've had in a while. They range from A+ to a D. The D was hyper-critical of them trading Bridges, which is weird in itself, but they actually criticized the Miami pick as compensation. They also trashed Smith too. I guess it's fun to play the contrarian.
The consensus was around a B or B- which I can't say I disagree with, but getting the best athlete in the draft is usually a good thing and landing an unprotected 1 is like finding a virgin in a Jersey Shore bar these days.
Brown was on the Fanatic this morning for about a half hour
Said they took Bridges and were sitting back and content, Phoenix called and pushed for the trade.
Acknowledged Zhaire has a higher ceiling than Bridges
Denver was going to take Zhaire if Porter hadn't dropped
Gave the PC answer on Porter (talented, injury blah blah blah)
Sounds pessimistic they'll get a star this offseason
I still can't believe they got a future unprotected 1st from Miami. That's a potential top 5 pick.
Ben says thanks to my family, friends, coach and the city of Philly. Not one mention of god. Dude is great.

If you're not touching yourselves after reading that, you're dead inside.
Lebron's either gonna suck it up and suffer in LA this season and wait until next offseason when they can add Kawhi to the mix, or he's staying in Clevleland
Kawhi's gonna stay in SA and sulk unless some team in the East blows them away with an offer. He's going to LA.
Lebron goes to LA I'm buying stuff that will hurt people. Seriously, I am. I won't be able to take the "I've been a Lakers fan since Magic, Kareem, Worthy, and......." crowd. Ran into one of those pricks last night. I was hoping my dogs shtein on his feet.
if LA can pull off getting PG or kawhi then maybe he goes to LA but no chance he jets to that terrible team without another star. if not, he runs it through one more time with CLE who could still make the finals again. as much as i don't see it happening, philly does make the most sense.
good thing is that he said he'll decide before the 4th, so we will all know soon.
The King is a free agent.

just get a place on 13th and shunk already
so what free agents are really exciting you guys
i'm not super excited about anyone really. resigning JJ is #1 priority right now.
I love aaron gordon, especially with him having a shot now. if last year wasn't a fluke. but i don't see orlando not matching.
maybe bring vince into be the old man for a year. or wayne ellington be roco #2. or lance to be a maniac.
not sure nerlens would want to come back but he'd be a solid backup and cheap as farg.
seen rumors about ennis which would be fine I guess but won't move the needle at all.
ben is 21 and jo is 24. so i guess this was their last chance to add someone before it all goes away.
oh well time to reprocess
Not surprised but the Lakers are obviously getting more than just the King. Or being in LA is really just that important for his other interests. Too bad.
Lance already went to the Lakers.
Guess now it's just about getting the gang back together and trying to grow Fultz into a player.
Gordon got 4/$84M from Orlando.

lakers are now league pass worthy because of lebron and lance together.
Lebron's move to LA does make Stern's comments about disapproving of the Sixers' tanking all the funnier. There really is no other way to build a competitor unless you're one of the chosen franchises.
Just goes to show there's really only 4 or 5 teams that matter and the rest, like the Sixers, are just schedule-fillers.

philly dont do carpet baggers....farg lebron....hes perfect for a city that no one is from
Yes, no one is from L.A. They just like moving there from the shteinholes Trump talked about...like Philly.
Ask Wilt Chamberlain.
Zhaire def has hops but I've been very underwhelmed.
He's raw and just turned 19, the potential is there
So are they not hiring a GM, or what?
GMs are so overrated.
Key to their championship run in my opinion. If Fultz has confidence in his pull up jumper they can compete with Boston.
https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/08/01/trainer-markelle-fultz-will-be-all-star-next-season-if-100-percent/
Great idea, let's publicly pile more expectations on this kid. What a trainer.
Fultz is important no doubt but Ben getting a shot is more important
if that ever happens it's game over
if simmons and fultz BOTH get jump shots is it season over?
Sixers o/u in Vegas at 54.5.
not that he was gonna contribute much this year anyway but zahire smith suffered a jones fracture.....really cant make this shtein up
I'm penciling him in for ROY 2019-2020
ugh i disagree he was what the need off the bench. i mean yeah wasn't gonna be an all star but that hurts bad.

sixers @ boston xmas day
whats interesting is it got the 530pm slot on abc. lakers/warriors is at 800 on espn. usually the best game is at 530 on abc. unless....

looks like we have a rivalry again.
It's the only East games neutral fans will watch this year.
sixers get 2 abc saturday games
1/19 vs. okc
3/2 vs. gsw
the january game is for some reason at 330 but thats the day before the nfc championship so things might just be, as the kids say, LIT
the guy they traded for bour is called mckenzie mills and hes black

QuoteSo I'm chilling one night, and I go on YouTube, and I'm thinking I'm about to figure this shooting thing out.
I go to the search box like....
HOW TO SHOOT 3 POINTERS.
Nah.
HOW TO SHOOT GOOD FORM
Nah.
Then the light bulb went off, man. I typed in the magic words.
WHITE PEOPLE SHOOTING 3 POINTERS.
Listen, I know it's a stereotype, but have you ever seen a normal, 30-year-old white guy shoot a three-pointer? That elbow is tucked, man. The knees are bent. The follow-through is perfect. Always. You know how in America, there's always an older guy wearing like EVERLAST sweat-shorts at the court? That guy is always a problem. His J is always wet.
That is fantastic
New GM is...Elton Brand ???
Just had to fill the seat.
EB isn't terrible as he seems that he can grow into being a GM but its obvious that this is Brown's show.
what a shtein show of a team. don't even hate the move that much but there's always something stupid happening.
its a clown move in the sense that they said all summer they were waiting for a big name and wouldnt take less....the fact that they went from taking a run at daryl morey to a guy who was playing for them a year and a half ago is embarrassing
It's a Gabe Kapler / Doug Pederson level headscratcher hire. Hopefully more like one than the other.
15 days til the opener.
markelle still didn't take any 3s but still looked good against the aussies.
i can not wait for basketball.
Jojo treating bamba like a child.
Also Markelle made a 3. Happy days.
Love the new look Fultz, 10 points in the first half. only exhibition but a positive sign.
ok so the crowd needs to boo JJ every game this year. seems to thrive off of the hate.
Happy Day.

And the 2018/19 campaign begins with a Bob Covington air ball
fultz still stinks
airball then chase down strip. classic roco.
Forgot about that ape Baynes.
I try not to sound like a WIP caller but it does always feel like fultz just wants to take the ball down court, hand it off, then stand in the corner.
fultz still scared but could be worse. i like that shamet is not scared.

the talent gap in players 3-8 on these two rosters is preposterous
no team with jj reddick robert covington and dario saric as 3 of your 5 best players is winning anything period but the celtics are so good that their 678 is better than those three
second unit in no scoring fultz just doesn't try to get the ball at all 3 possessions. Find corner. Stand.

One trade set them back a decade. Worse trade than Roy Hinson, Moses, Barkley etc.
if hinkie would have developed a social skill or two this never wouldve happened
when you look back on why the process resulted in 10 years of losing in the ec semis or finals, remember that. the sixers hired an ANTI SOCIAL general manager
Reggie Miller has been almost as bad as the sixers
Who gives a flying farg if he's anti social. Bellicheck is anti social...Hinkie had a plan in place that was working. They replaced him with Eric Jr. The Celtics will probably have a top 5 pick next draft too. At least Jo Jo is entertaining and Simmons can dunk so they'll be fun to watch while Boston dominates for the next decade.
What a zesty game.
Good job, iceholes.

Who gives a flying farg if he's anti social. Bellicheck is anti social
his complete inability to be a decent, communicative person is what got him fired. the league hated the heat on them for their tanking and he didnt even attempt to put it out. if hes out front with any semblance of a pr strategy, he couldve saved himself. but he handled his business like it was a government secret, was prickly with superiors and got got. being a gm is more than just winging trades. he never even attempted to do the other part.
belly just hates doing press conferences. hes actually quite open under other circumstances and is very different inside the building. also he won 100 super bowls and all hinkie did was try to lose. good comp though.
your basketball takes are so bad i can't ever tell if you're serious or not. hinkie held more press conferences than colangelo did.
i have no idea if thats true or not and it doesnt matter...they arent even valid comps
colangelo was the gm of an established team that wasnt actively trying to lose. nobody needed to hear from him, you had embiid simmons etc. hinkie was. what the sixers were doing was a full scale dump on the very nature of professional basketball. it was a black eye for the league. im not getting into a WAS THE PROCESS GOOD debate because of course it was. but the perception that one team isnt trying to win is not something the league wanted.
hinkie did nothing to try and quell that. he just let it sit there and fester. thats why the league forced him out. again, if he has a better pr game in front of the camera and behind the scenes perhaps it doesnt get to the point it got to. perhaps was he always going to die for our sins.
one thing i know is you went to the spike eskin dorkfest podcast thing and are a fundamentalist hinkie worshiper so forgive me speaking ill of the almighty god
Or Josh Harris could have just sacked up instead of throwing his GM under the bus and agreeing to hand his team over to some mediocre nepotism hires.
Maybe Hinkie would have farged up those two years also, but we know now that Enoughunknownsources, Still Ballin, Eric Jr., HonestAbe, and all the other Colangelos were disasters for this franchise.

its definitely worse than moses and barkley....i dont even really put trades like that on the same level because there were factors forcing those trades to happen...coangelo had zero pressure to make the fultz trade...he went out of his way all on his own to do it
its HOF bad now but in three years when fultz is out of the league and tatum is an all star its going to be exponentially worse and then throw a danny ainge top 5 pick on top of it all and it easily could go down as the worst nba trade ever

Yes it's way worse. They traded Daugherty to the Cavs for Hinson...horrible trade but what would have made it worse was if they traded him to Boston who already has superior talent and threw a top 5 pick in. I keep hearing "nobody thought Tatum was going to be THIS good", well apparently Ainge knew which is why he's a real gm and Eric Jr. is a farging joke. I'm sure it'll be a fun season, they'll win upwards of 40 games and may hit 50 again, but at the end of the day they have zero shot at beating Boston. Their one possibility of competing with them was to get Lebron and Kawhi. Boston is set up for the long run. The Process is over.

the nba hated that they were so overtly tanking and the negative attention that came with it. hinkie did nothing to make it land better. the sixers lost a lot of games and were an uncompetitive joke. colangelo (the trump supporter) was forced upon the sixers. hinkie wrote his manifesto and quit. colangelos idiot son was hired. he made a bad trade. then eric jr happened.
what am i missing
You're missing the Sixers hand wasn't forced to fire Hinkie. Hinkie played by the zesty rules the nba has in place. The owners folded under the leagues pressure. They weren't being threatened with a fine or losing draft picks so who gives a farg what the rest of the league thinks. The Process ended once Hinkie was fired...now it's a cute name to call Embiid.
You used to hate Hinkie and the Process now you're admitting they were better off seeing his plan through.

then why did they do it?
for the john q fan's standpoint the process doesnt matter....who cares if the sixers are a bad team there are 15 bad teams in the nba every year. but john q fan isnt a billionaire owner or league exec irritated by the upteenth sixers are tanking story.
the nba fired hinkie because they were sick of the attention much of it positive that the process received
lol not cause hinkie didn't talk enough...in fact that was the one thing the league probably liked about hinkie
right
if he had done a better PR sell on the process, maybe the attention wouldnt have been so negative. thats my point. his reputation among agents and execs was rock bottom, which surely didnt help either.
but quite possible he was always going to take the bullet so the sixers could have a guy that cant shoot and a 23 year old with chronic back and foot issues
you just wont stop being the exact opposite of right so we will all move on

Ain't getting much more open than that Markelle
Gonna be tough to win when Chicago can't miss
the sixers play 4 guards and 3 of them cant shoot
How many wide open shots does Markelle not take before they say farg him
Can someone please put fultz out to pasture? He even has the hitch back in his FT shooting.
I dislike Portis more than anyone in the league other than maybe smart
I love Ben
Landry has already exceeded my expectations
bulls three point d is a travesty the space the Sixers shooters have when they catch the ball is unreal and the bulls don't even try and close out
if fultz only plays in 20 point blow outs against horrendous teams he might be pretty good
That three made me emotional.
jo with 14 attempts and 30 points...holy hell is chicago a farce
no ben again tonight. hopefully this back thing sticks around for a while. yay.
fultz - shamet starting backcourt. that screams title team.
farging sickening
Way to Ish the bed
RoCo couldn't have played that any worse.
JFC
roco oh no baby what is you doin
So bad. Possibly one of Brett's worst coaching performances in that second half.
I get TJ at end of games when fultz is imploding but fultz was alright tonight and got no run starting with 8 mins left. Not like tj was much more effective on ish.
Saric got cooked on D all night.
I'm fine with TJ in there late over Fultz, he's way more competent
Some nights. I don't think tj was bringing anything last night that fultz wasn't.
I am a TJ fanboy but yesterday was the most confident I've ever seen Fultz. That's not saying much but still doesn't make sense to keep him on the bench for so long at the end. Did he play in the fourth at all?
I lean towards Markelle being a bust but if they're sticking with himand think he still has it that was exactly the type of situation that he needs to be in....close game in October with no Ben.
someone talk me out of banging the cardiac kemba to the sixers drum for the next 9 months
Brook Lopez really??
49 points allowed in the 2nd

The overs so far this year have been money bets.
I find it strange that UMD is the sixers sponser this year.
This is not fun to watch. Have no idea how they're only down by 10.
From 34-22 to losing by 15.
Garbage.
Not quite as bad as the Mavs being up by like 26 and losing. But close.
keep trusting the process folks. its gonna pay off in the long run.
hopefully this jj sticks around all year. best he's ever looked.
guess having a billion people mad at you lit a fire in him.
hes actually shooting the same 3pt% this year as last year
hes a tick or two above above his career avg from inside the arc but hes basically right on his career averages this season which is good for a 34 year old
ok well he is averaging like 5 points more on the same % and doing literally everything else better also. nerd.
also eye test. he's trying to prove he's not a racist which is good for his game.
hes actually way below his 2pt average from last year...i dont know why i thought he was shooting better
his ppg is up cause hes shooting a shtein ton more than he ever has
not saying he isnt playing well he is...just saying that everyone saying he sucked last year or was down and is now shooting the ball well again just isnt true....he shot better last year
imo whats most impressive this year is his defense...best ive ever seen him play and crazy that an un athletic guy who is strictly a shooter is improving defensively at age 34...to the point where hes probably not a liability anymore
ok so we agree.
markelle slowly coming back. that was nice.

"He's a fun matchup," Embiid said. "I feel like I dominate every game, especially against him."
Despite the win and the strong performance, Embiid did have some criticism of his game. After scoring 32 of his 39 points in the first half, he told NBC Sports Philadelphia, "In the second half I sucked."

Jimmy Butler and the Sixers fully expect to reach a deal on a long-term contract this summer, league sources tell ESPN. Sixers made deal with plans to add Butler to a Big Three with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Looks like Bayless's expiring contract was part of the deal
They clearly had to do something on this scale but I liked rooting for Covey and Dario even when they were at their worst, and they were a lot of fun when they were at their best.
But unless Butler ends up being an on- or off-court chemistry disaster (and obviously there's a couple reasons to be concerned there), the Sixers just got better.
Covington was incredible last night after getting his 5th foul. The Sixers will miss that defense. But yeah, they're better with that third superstar, and they can't challenge Boston without it. I just wonder if they had to get rid of too much depth.
Butler can play D
I'm a process homer and would literally have babies with either roco or Dario but this is an Amazing trade. KAT and Wiggins are a bunch of soft batch bitches, no way jimmy fargs up this locker room with Jojos presence. A plus farging trade.
Holy shtein I almost fell off my barstool when I saw the trade.
one of my buddies is a reporter in chicago and he told me "have fun"
so i mean i know jimmy is coocoo bananas but they didnt give up either one of their 2 best assets and can wash their hands of this at the end of the year if jimmy is a disaster, which i mean is a definite scenario
covey's defense is going to be tough to make up for but anyone who watched the celtics series last year knows that dario wont be exactly missed
bottom line is they couldnt run back the same 5 and expect to do anything other than maybe make the ec semis. so they did something. maybe it works?

it was such a great fake shot that he faked himself out of making the shot.

I'm out of the country and out of the loop other than news of jimmy trade..just caught a video of Markelle shooting FTs... what the farg. I just don't see how that happens. I haven't played on a basketball team in 20 plus years and I could get my FT form back in a few days maybe weeks. Kinda wishing he was shipped out in the trade. Since they are obviously going all in now, no point in this baby sitting circus.
Like J said Fultz is broken.

I've heard arenas quiet before but I have never heard it where you could hear the players on the opposite basket talking to each other. I was in the loge level too. I've also never heard music being played on both sides during the entire game. They would stop it after whistles and it was dead silent.

Landry has really impressed me, was not super excited about the pick but dude can really ball. Also did not know he had that double clutch dunk in him.
That's was awesome. Jimmys gonna fit right in. I was a little worried Jojo was gonna get annoyed with Butler being the new last shot guy but jo seemed genuinely happy. And Jojo had a real quiet 30+ again.
Just watched the replay. Butler's block and save were a thing of beauty than he drains the three. this guy is good.

Sixers have 3 more wins than the Celtics

If things revert to how they looked at the beginning of the season once the Sixers start playing real teams again and the Celtics start playing to their potential, it could be the #1 overall worst in Philly history. Not necessarily the worst player taken that high, but the trade up and overall impact and immediacy of the bust.
If the Embiid/Simmons/Butler core ends up winning a championship at some point, then no one will really care. People barely think about the Jah disaster even now.
It's gotta be #1

I know butler is out but think about this
Wilson chandler and furkan korkmaz are 20% of the sixers crunch time lineup in a big game
the sixers got 15 points from their bench
i dont watch a ton of non sixers nba but is there a contender with a worse cast of supporting players than the sixers
^^^yes
Yes as 100% agreement
OT started nice, quickly becoming a train wreck
ben simmons gotta go
When you're drunk you're borderline Stephen Miller.

Sure thing. Steve.

ben simmons gotta go
I'm all in on this. He's useless late in games, he can't hit an outside shot and if he drives the lane they just foul him because it's a guarantee he only makes one shot. He obviously has no desire to develop a jump shot. He's bouncing in a few years to move to LA anyway, hope they get what they can for him in the offseason then max out another player, preferably one who can hit an outside shot.
i don't see a way they can keep him. hurts them late in games and seems more interested in the jenner scene then working on a jump shot.
plus is there any way butler doesn't start chirping at/to him ?
If he wants to go to LA so badly then work it out. Nothing is impossible. I think you guys are nuts for wanting him gone, though.
when is the last time you watched a sixer game

without a shot he himself is not just worthless late in games but hes killing jo because the defense just sags off and shades him...the effects of having no shot clouds the whole team
the most ridiculous late game sets tho are when he doesn't have the ball in his hands and just gets out of the way and stands somewhere 20 feet away from the closest opposing player basically having the offense run four against five
I'm a Kemba fan. He's my target.
Not sure they know there's a game tonight
Ugly tonight
JFC
Jesus, the second half of this game has seen some zesty basketball. Sixers playing like ass, lucky to be up by double digits. Butler just ejected. Weak ass call after he got in a shoving match.
This team had a 24 point lead and are about to choke this thing away. Clippers withnin 5 with 3:18 left.

I really thought they were going to blow that 30 point lead
Went to bed when they were up 30. Got up for my flight this am and see they won by 5.
No lead is safe with them.
that stretch was truly amazing....suns had something like 57 pts in 13 minutes...led by richaun holmes

Was sneaking peaks at soccer practice and shut it off after they were up by 23 at halftime. I was shocked, well not really, when I saw Suns made one hell of a run. It was like the game the night before against the Clippers.
Jimmy experiment lasted a few weeks.
Managing those three personalities is beyond the skillset of Brett Brown.
typical nba soap opera fabricated drama
lemme know when someone pops off
Honestly I just read the espn report and jimmy is not wrong. You have one of the best pick and roll guys in the league and he just stands to the side while two people hand the ball off back and forth for 15 seconds every play. This does not seem surprising.
sixers have the 5th best offense in the nba since getting jimmy....shut your farging mouth and keep losing money
btw dirty little secret is hes not that great a pnr guy...he isn't a great shooter and he isn't a great finisher
sixers need shooters around ben and jo not mid range old doods
Once again another WTF fourth quarter.

wrost game of the year and not even close.
they need to move ben while his stock is still high and can fleece someone....problem is they have the worst gm in sports...they need a forward thinking gm that can max out the return on him....elton gonna give him the max
Last night was brutal
And agreed on moving Ben. He's not a max player. How can you willingly pay him when he's not going to ever have an outside shot?
I listen to Russo's Sirius channel and one of the morning guys there, Evan Cohen, floated Anthing Davis for Ben. And seemed to think NO would do this. No chance whatsoever but it was nice to think about for a second. But yeah take the value on him now and move on.
Horowitz is farging annoying and shouldn't be allowed courtside. 2 minutes left and he's practically standing on the court waving a towel screaming like a lunatic. Brown had to tell him to sit down a few times.

i mean that would be a great starting point...in terms of age contract and numbers can anyone beat ben in terms of being the head of a package
You're all farging crazy. You don't trade a future mvp you get a coach who can make it work.
Davis might be the only person in the league I'd actually take for Ben but he doesn't make sense with Jojo either.
This jimmy situation farged it all up and everyone is stupid now.

this team stinks
so did the process simply get this team to the 2nd round of the playoffs every year ?

they only play twice a year and I bet at least half those losses were during the tank years
the jets have never beaten the eagles
Jo v. Adams on the block is so fun
also tj mconnell has no business being on the floor this game
you can add mike muscala to that list
ben playing likes this makes it so much more painful that he doesn't shoot.
they need a stud pg who can shoot a few three point shooters and a couple wing defenders...that's how good jo is
they don't need three "superstars" who don't fit
kyrie jo and some three and d's can get it done
DO NOT sign jimmy
Was that Ertz who helped Reddick up
I also don't want them to re-sign Jimmy. It'll never happen for optics alone but I think they should try to trade him already. Not even sure if that's possible with nba trade rules and timing but whatevs.
Give JJ another 15 mil next year and then find the rest in FA.
Ben is an embarrassment
stop it.
Ben loss
russ is such a drama queen
such a garbage call
also has Landry shamet even taken a shot since his three three spurt?
russ squirming on the ground, waiting 10 sec for his people to show up, then pretending to go after jojo was so precious.

what is the point of ben simmons on that final play
Why in the farg would you have Simmons on the court much less take the inbound pass
lol at Ben trying to head fake on that last play like he would ever shoot
Quote from: AO1 on January 19, 2019, 06:12:30 PM
Why in the farg would you have Simmons on the court much less take the inbound pass
fair... but I don't totally hate him on the court down 2 but the play has to have him go the length of the court...and even if he gets fouled he's probably not making two
what you don't gave him in for is dropping off a ball for someone after a laughable head fake
also Sixers missed 5 free throws in the 4q... four by Ben
how nice would it have been for ben to take that final 3. even if it was an airball i would have felt better than that.
Ben has no knee bend whatsoever with his FTs. I read about Brown emphasizing it and talking about how it's important. I don't get how even though he's said it every single game is the same form. You have to bend your legs shooting FTs or they're all going to be line drives.
jimmy out.
rockets style of play is so farging painful to watch I don't understand how anyone enjoys it.
yo this shtein is lit
game is nuts
Not sure pissing Harden off that much is a good idea
Holy shtein. The Sixers bitch-slapped them all over the court in the third quarter.
Jo should be on the bench right now
Don't even know what to say. That was pretty farged up.
that was very fun. sign corey brewer to lifetime contract.
Great game.
Watching Markelle giggle reminded me of McNabb's air guitar.
Game would have been much better had they won Saturday
i wish they were undefeated also.
not only do the sixers have an insane string of games but 10/12 of those games are on national tv
too much sixers
They need to keep winning otherwise I can't enjoy their wins
jimmy out again.
also gonna be an unusual number of people rooting for the spurs down low as it's lonnie walker's first game back from injury and g-league. other than 2 minutes of garbage time two weeks ago.

Didn't seem to hurt them too bad last time.
I've been a random corey brewer fan for a very long time so him being on the sixers and having three great games makes me extra happy.
i love this team. trade jimmy now.
they had no shot to win last night without jo (and i guess jimmy), but ben missed at least 100 layups. i lost count around the 2nd qtr.
how can someone be so bad at this
that might have been tj's best stretch of bajetball at any level of his life
bajetball
not an ideal time to run into the warriors.
There's never an ideal time to run into the Warriors. Now that Cousins is playing they might not lose another game
boogie jojo is going to be some good teevee.
no klay. thats helpful.
Jo jo shook as a motherfarger
they all look nervous as farg.
at least I wont have to stay up late tonight
Whoa
That was Simmons best half of ball this season. All star nod bump
Sixers gonna keep it just close enough to not be able to go to bed but never close enough to have a chance to win
jo has sucked but at least he's bern active butler is just invisible

steph hits 100 3's every game...you know who hits like 80....klay....you know what the warriors not named steph hit last night 1-20
you all get back at a brotha when the sixers win a couple rounds in the playoffs
in the meantime suck ben off....i will suck him off when brad stevens doesnt lock him down in the playoffs
steph has hit 10 more 3's in a game 4 times this season...so this was an unusually superb performance for an all time player
the sixers and celtics, likely, will not be able to meet until the ECF. the only way that can happen in the 2nd round is if 1 is the 1 seed and the other is the 4. this feels like something that will not occur. so it wont be brad stevens, it will be whoever the coach of the bucks is.
im in milwaukee for phillies brewers may 24th - 26th

classic last game of a road trip combined with shake milton and landry shamet playing crunch time minutes
didn't even bother watching kings game, gut feeling that was going to be a loss from the get go.
Quote from: MDS on February 03, 2019, 09:43:37 AM

If this is indeed classic then they should roll the Nuggets Friday right?
if they start shake milton and landry shamet, yes
brewer's contract ended the season is basically over.
they apparently might bring him back in a few days?
there have been some really gross lineups out here so far.
This game is so bad I might switch to the SOTU
what a mess. the fact that they need redick so bad is embarrassing.
shamet and muscala are not...how you say....good
i don't know that shamet step back airball three was pretty great.
the sixers are the 3rd or 4th best team in the east but they need to add like 3 to 4 legit players at the deadline/buyout to even have a shot
after jo-ben-jimmy-jj they have nothing. and those 4 are ehhhhh
They weren't winning anyway but that offensive foul call on the Shamet 3 was god awful
make up call for the jimmy bobble that shouldve gone to toronto...ref knew he blew that so he was searching for something to go the other way and found it

While you all were sleeping, Uncle Don just got this hot off the press:
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25935274/clippers-agree-trade-tobias-harris-76ers-deal-involving-6-players (http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25935274/clippers-agree-trade-tobias-harris-76ers-deal-involving-6-players):
Whoa. That's whoa. Tobias Harris is legit, though. He's a FA this summer so unless they sign him to a max deal, that's a ton for a rental.
I like Harris but he's not worth what the Sixers gave up. He's also a UFA after the season so he could just be a rental. Sixers are basically left with nothing
I dig it. I like Shamet but he's probably playing well above what he should be so it's him, the good miami pick, one zesty first round pick and 2 2nds.
they are getting an all star, a human masterpiece and a role player.
I've only been up for a few minutes and still processing this but I'm into it.
it's all worth it for boban.
Feel like Brand panicked after last nights game
it's definitely the opposite of the hinkie stockpile assets plan thats for sure.
Better than Eric Jr
If the Clippers can somehow package those picks into a better deal than Boston for AD, it's even better.

signing butler would be a massive mistake
they finally got their elite stretch four....extend him and move on
the only call now is should they trade butler before the deadline or make a run with these four......i personally dont think they have a shot this year at even the finals so id move jimmy now to get at least an asset or two to recoup even a little of what you gave up for butler and harris....lakers got farging mouth raped last night by no oladipo indiana....try to work them while they are panicking
^^^ yes i'm all for this. i guess it's now possible to sign all four because of bird rights but that is such a scary thought if something goes sideways. jimmy should be the odd man out.
now that the clips are most likely tanking, they're essentially farging boston on both of those picks this year (sacramento pick and clips top 14 protected). just an added bonus.
also I played with tankathon and it only took me less than 10 tries for sixers to get #1 pick this year. imagine adding zion to the mix. drool.
after last night sacramento more than likely isnt even going to be in the lottery
im in the trade jimmy now camp but i just dont see that happening
does a sign and trade for jimmy make any sense
also it cant be stated enough how much of a legend boban is going to be in this town
it will take exactly 1 5-minute run before sixers twitter is jizzing their pants
yeah obviously but he's also a perfect 10 minutes a game to park that magnificent body down low while jojo gets a breather.

Sixers acquire Malachi Richardson, Toronto's 2022 second-round pick and the draft rights to Emir Preldzic in exchange for cash considerations in trade with the Raptors, according to sources
Last nights trade is growing on me. Sixers pick is going to be in the 20's, Miami pick probably in the teens. Losing Shamet sucks but he's replaceable. Only concern is assets to make trades is pretty much gone.

Hinkie move.
Elton giving the people what they want!
Waived Malachi Richardson traded for Veteran SF James Ennis
oof ennis from the rockets? that dude is hot garbage. was embarrassing to watch that last sixers rockets game.
meh his stats are better than I thought maybe i've just seen him on like 8 bad nights this year.
basically for nothing though, 2nd round pick swap.
See ya Fultz
QuoteThe Magic are sending Jonathon Simmons, a Thunder first and Cavs second to the Sixers for Fultz, per source.
Simmons has been trash for orlando but whatever. Was time to move on. Just seeing Fultz on the bench annoyed me.
QuoteSixers initially got that protected 2020 first-round pick from OKC in the Jerami Grant deal. Now getting it back from Orlando here
oh what could have been for the sixers....with fultz gone they officially didnt get shtein from the 13 15 and 17 drafts....that incredible kings trade was a farging bigger bust than markelle

I forgot they already cleared out all their 2018 guys.
Oh and I really hate Eric Jr.
they didnt clear them out one 2018 guy was traded for a 26 year old borderline all star.....no problem with that...plus they still have zhaire coming...petty crazy that they got harris without having to give him up
micro i dont even have a problem with many of the individual picks in the other drafts...some years were just terrible drafts...other years they made the right moves but some just didnt pan out...fultz trade will go down as maybe the worst in city history and not taking porzingis was bad
but macro you have to get a good starter and a couple rotation guys out of those three drafts no matter how it happens....if they draft tatum then they dont have to trade for butler and you have covey and saric for depth right now
as it stands if you compare the 6-9 of bos tor mil and sixers its an absolute embarrassment for the sixers

I can think of like 5 people just off the top of my head missing from this list. Should be double or triple as long.
those are just guys they actually drafted...draft day trades were in it
bare minimum effort going on here broseph
that actually seemed like a lot of work.
thought they were gonna look clunky for a bit but god damn do they look pretty. JJ makes me wet when he shoots like this.
wow that statement did not age well in 10 minutes.
I know every team makes a run in the Association but the Sixers sure seem to suffer from their fair share and more.
Indifferent defensive efforts are usually the culprits.

He's a goofy tall white guy...I think it's stupid but I understand the novelty... I'd prefer an athletic big man like Patton once he's ready. Boban has stone hands and cinder block feet...he can't even jam a lane right

i was wondering the same...didn't get run until 2 min left.
also whats the deal with bolden? is he hurt because he's better than ennis and scott. looking pretty good the last few weeks.
my guess is boban and bolden split backup 5 minutes depending on matchup
its possibly he gets some 4 run, but they wont test that out until they start facing bad teams again. they have a bunch of games left against miami, orlando, new york, atlanta, etc. so they can play depth guys and figure out combos

well they are 7-4 with a plus 6.4 rating which would rank 3rd best in the nba for the season
Tomorrow should be interesting, the Sixers are on a roll and the Celtics are in disarray...but the Celtics have the Sixers number. Nightmare scenario is the Celtics win and that leads to their turnaround.
Unless something drastic happens they won't lost 4 more games during the regular season.
No Kyrie tomorrow which for some reason makes me more nervous.

You dick! So negative, c'mon. I can't believe you'd say that (especially since I was just about to say that).

Magic never learns.
What exactly has the NBA taught him - that he can tamper openly and get away with it? Or how about just because he's a farging Laker he can bend or break any rule he wants without any possibility of being penalized for it?
Silver has all but said, "do whatever you want" to them as did his midget predecessor, so now he's supposed to follow the rules?
I'm thinking not so much.
actually ben reached out to magic not the other way around
they have 4 games left that they have to win and this is 1 of them
the whole ben magic thing is a non-story. ben reached out to a hall of famer who everyone has compared him to for most of his life. the fact that magic is now lakers president complicates it but whetever. magic letting it out recently was definitely on purpose though.
Yeah I don't get the outrage. If he's going to go to LA at some point I highly doubt working out with Magic for a week is going to be the deciding factor. Kendall Jenner's hoyda is more magic than magic.
Being represented by Rich Paul is more of an ongoing tamper than anything Magic could say.
Why does Philly Comcast sometimes still show TNT games and sometimes not? Because Players Only is garbage.
I'm just not sure there is a path for a Ben Simmons led team to ever win a seven game series against a team this good that has even a competent coach much less a great one like Stevens
^^^^this^^^^
holy shtein Tatum
embiid has been a disaster
3 of 12
8 points
ugly is right
and like that he hits a three
Hayward, jesus farging christ
Embid looks like he's in playoff mode = slow, tired and gassed
they wont win this game for a variety of reasons but chief among them is brett being amateur hour compared to stevens
jj grabs smart on a drive, then gets t'ed for throwing the ball
spoiled liberal baby
Wake up Jimmy!
love these announcers talking about what game and heavyweight battle
arguably the best player on either team is not playing
Bullshtein non-call there
the sixers will always be the sixers to the celtics
It would be a lot less embarrassing but in the end does it even matter if the sixers win this game with kyrie not playing
Jesus, take your sweet ass time fellas.
jo has to kick that out since nice they can't advance the ball now
Fourth seed they are.
whats jay wright doing
Record vs Notable Eastern Conference Contenders
Celtics 6-2 .750
Bucks 5-2 .714
Raptors 5-6 .455
76ers 1-7 .125
Get er' done!
its like groundhog's day when they play the Celtics.
this sixers team will always be the celtics bitch for some reason. you could tell they were going to lose within the first 5 minutes.
dirty little secret....they cant beat toronto or milwaukee either
this notion on sixers twitter that they are awesome against every team but the Celtics cracks me up

Yep
I hope they don't get Boston round 1 so they can win a round but beyond that they struggle with the top teams in the East but beat the likes of Denver/GS and Houston. They did so many things wrong and played so sloppy I'm surprised the game was as close as it was
Can't even remember last time I heard zoom and ala
i could play backup 1 minutes and the sixers would still win by 20+
knicks are out hinkieing hinkie with this slop
QuoteWeird quote, but Markelle Fultz also said: "It really excites me to have coaches that are going to push you and not just tell you what you want to hear..."
I want to say I wish him well but I really don't give a farg.
He'll be outta the league in 3-4 years...will probably wind up playing in China
somebody still needs to curb job colangelo for that pick.
Bobby Jones is a HOF finalist.
boban with 11 and 7 in first quarter. embiid who?
nm
I wish they'd of run Patton out there...my god Amir is brutal
ive been drifting in and out of being awake but i feel like this is one of those games where they really miss embiid, joel
they miss having a wing or a guard that can play any kind of defense
Offensive boards are killing them
Worse beating this or the Flyers tonight?
By the skin of their teeth
Jonathan Simmons is an atrocity
Bringing back the late fade style from earlier in the season.
brett going offense/defense for simmons and jj, then letting simmons stay in on offense...take the in bounds...gets fouled...misses both
shocking to see why brad stevens cleans his clock
No PG tonight. Thats helpful. Steven Adams is going to have 25 rebounds.
Jesus farg Simons! Horrible foul!!
next 32 seconds going to be swell
Nice turnover Ben, you're on a roll in crunch time
THEY DID IT
Harris was filthy tonight
Butler was awful
jimmy has this rep as being a hustle guy but he's looked unaggressive as hell the last month. at least twice he passed up wide open layups last night to pass it out to the 3. not sure if he's trying hard to be the good teammate or just doesn't give a shtein because he knows he won't be here next year.

jimmy put up 20/8/8 last night. he was turrible. :-D
that is incredibly accurate, he's been setting up the offense with ben posting up more often...so that could be why he's looking to pass more.
i'm not saying bad, no doubt he looked good last night. just strange seeing him pass on so many open shots.
yeah, he's been facilitating the offense more. he did pass up a couple easy shots last night though. i've read rumors that his wrist (or maybe it was his hand) is bothering him, but idk.

Turnovers were brutal, he fouled Noel with .008 left in the quarter, missed two crucial free throws late in the 4th. No idea why he's looking to pass so much but he's struggling to create his own shot now...his fadeaway jumper has been a real miss lately.
The Damien lee show is fun to watch.
Oof some real dumb plays at the end. What a game though.
Absolutely brutal coaching down the stretch
We were walking the dogs watching that last quarter on the iPhone. I can't remember the last time I yelled farg and shtein out in the middle of the street in a very long time. That was some real stupid basketball down the stretch.
This alert just popped up on my phone at 8:33 PM HST:
"Questionable plays doom 76ers"
Van Gundy said "this is a learning moment for the Sixers" BUT why did 99% of those watching this game know Scott and Simmons screwed up? You can say that to a high school team but that was basketball 101 screw up at this level.
Jonathan Simmons might be the worst NBA player I've ever seen
he's better than james ennis but that's about it.
I forgot he was on the team
Scott has some value thankfully. No idea why they have him playing d in the low post. Limited minutes but I thought Patton played decent.
someone has to play the 5 since jo and bobi are hurt
their bench for the playoffs is probably going to be tj-scott-bobi and thats is not exactly what i would call good
those two were out way ahead time last night...the reason scott was playing on he post was because jonah bolden was a late scratch...if embiid isnt playing then most likely they are toast at the 5 defensively anyway...boban cant play against most of the league amir is toast and bolden doesnt know how to play defense yet
they could really use nerlens noel
with tobias now in the mix, this team would be better with roco and dario over jimmy.
jimmy hasnt been great but im not sure id go that far...at least i wanna see the playoffs first
dario is garbage
i love roco's D but other than that he doesnt do anything jimmy doesnt and does a lot worse at some things...even from 3 they shoot basically the same
Bad loss. I know, there's a half-second left. Still a bad loss.
how do you bite on robin lopez and give the guy with 40 points a free lane to the basket.
I'm done with Brown. These late game farg ups are too common
can jay wright just take over already
Watched the replay late last night. What a shtein show. Echoing Matty, but WTF on that go ahead basket? You're worried about a gassed out Lopez on that inbounds play? Dude had his hands on his knees the last 5 minutes of that game. He was spent. Crunch Time has become Idiot Time. And Simmons, farg me.
i'm going to see some sweet zhaire action at the blue coats tonight. i'm sure it's going to be terrible.
Tonight is why I hate Ben Simmons but on steroids
please trade him
I second that!
I was going to go last night but had to work late. Sold my tickets. I didn't miss shtein
Work on Friday night >>>>That dumpster fire at Toyota Center
Embiid >>>>>>>> Everything.

Simmons isn't a bad defender at least but he also doesn't play
Scott is completely worthless and is solidly in the regular rotation
not disagreeing but who should play over him
their bench is a travesty
that was the least enjoyable win in a very long time.
that simmons missed dunk immediately into a foul the three point shooter combo was pretty impressive.

Buckets with some clutch shtein during bucks late charge. Erin go Braugh Jojo!
Always get a little tight in the sphincter late in games with this team, but they came away with a big win.
Embiid and Butler came up huge today.
jo was out of this world
i quadrupled my normal bet because the sixers were even money tonight but oddsmakers are so farging good.
ben looks amazing tonight though.

also sixers bench is losing 47-6.
starters 89
james ennis 11

you could bring in amir to pretend to protect the rim and put jimmy or ben on lamb...i dont care
lamb easily got the shot he wanted he just rimmed it
Let's see if the C's make them their bitches again tonight.
Jesus Christ, if this team could finish a shot inside the paint they'd be up by 10 right now.
really no point in even watching this
This looks all too familiar
i dont think the sixers starters are better than the celtics but imagine the sixers having to beat the celtics in a 7 game series with their bench minus boban who literally cannot be on the floor against this team
this is brick city but rotation wise brett is getting punked by brad as usual

Win was more important for their psyche than it was in the standings
Quote from: AO1 on March 20, 2019, 09:44:28 PM
Win was more important for their psyche then it was in the standings
id argue more important than the win is embiid having a monster game when hes always been embarrassing against them,,,,he needed that as much as the team needed the win
not saying they would have lost but theres a narrative that they dont win without the marcus smart ejection cause hes on butler in the 4q...but theres no denying the fact that embiid was finally dominant against them
sixers really should win out.
they have a decent shot of locking up the 3 around 10 days out from g1 of the first round which would give everyone a nice long rest. and theyre gonna need it because they have ZERO bench.
I knew they'd win all the time. :paranoid
the lack of depth in terms of rest wouldnt show up until late round two...so a break before the playoffs wouldnt matter...honestly rest isnt a factor in the nba playoffs anyway....if anything you probably want the starters playing as many minutes as possible together before the playoffs
the bench is gonna kill them cause it sucks not because its short
I'm excited to see Harris, Jojo and Jimmy in the playoffs.
I loathe the Celtics.
I could honestly watch this shot all night.

Hawks may get 80 this half.
JJ Redick couldn't guard Captain Ahab.
Hawks just out-muscling this lifeless shtein show tonight.
jojo with some real dumb basketball down the stretch here
the dreaded night to kill in atlanta strikes again
Apparently a day in Disney didn't do them too well, either.
second round and done, unless they draw Celtics first than it's little bitch showtime.
for as good as jo was against boston hes been atrocious the last 2 games
i was in ATL for the game and a long weekend and that place knows how to party. i am just coming back to life. lots of sixers fans at the game.
Sounded that way on TV. Hawks would score and it sounded like the public library.
Kung fu look for Jojo tonight. 10 and 4 in 3 minutes.

Uh-oh. Butler grabbing at his hip.
EDIT: Didn't leave the game. Still seems to be grabbing at it a bit.
Bolden says "Joel Who?"
Butler just killed a huge three point shot, held on way to long
I know I'm old but I remember when 21 point second half leads were stone cold locks. Then again they played defense back during the Harding administration.
BOLDEN!!! 5 3pts tonight.
Carl Thomas is beating him like a drum in the paint though.
Broken record here but not sure how Bolden doesn't get more pt.
because he stinks on defense
Quote from: MDS on March 31, 2019, 01:14:19 PM
because he stinks on defense
He's not Embiid (no one is) but he's not terrible defensively. 3 blocks and held his own against KAT last night. Think he deserves more pt than Scott at this point.
it only took me 162 tries for the sixers to get #1 pick.

there is a chance.
bolden has some skill but his b-ball iq is at roco level.

just curious which ones you think stand out as trash. i listen to his podcast and tend to agree with the majority of his opinions on the sixers.
mostly on how he crushes Jimmy
i pay attention to sports on a pretty ridiculous basis and am on twitter a bunch but i had no idea the sixers played last night until just now
first game all year i purposefully did not watch. playoffs can't get here soon enough.
I watched until mid 3rd when the blowout started. They gave no effort.
QuoteVeteran center Greg Monroe plans to sign with the #76ers tomorrow, a league source tells ESPN. Philadelphia will waive center Justin Patton and Monroe will then sign.
Interesting? He's washed up but still a veteran playoff big to suck up some fouls. better than amir probably. OK not interesting.
This shtein's getting old.
is this team really ready for a serious run ?
https://twitter.com/NBCSPhilly/status/1113967441862963200
RIP jos ankle
somehow their spacing is even worse than earlier this season.
That foul called on Frazier when Jo was running behind him was one of the worst fouls I've ever seen. Don't blame Budenholdzer for being pissed
Jojo is such a master at getting people to lose their shtein.
Also, dude at the end looks like Stephen A Smith running out on the court but it can't be...can it? Can't figure out who else it might be.

They'd have to get off their phones for five minutes to actually talk.
There's 3 women and they're at a sporting event they have no interest in attending. You'd think they'd naturally socialize amongst themselves while their husbands are blabbing away. When I go to a game with a group, the women who have zero interest in the game usually talk amongst themselves. Harper and Wentz probably got the passive agressive cold shoulder treatment when they got home. Lesson learned fellows, don't get married.

I bet on the Sixers because I'm dumb and lucky.
first time since 83/84 theyre playing the nets in the playoffs
I am all over the nets series price
what a horrible matchup for the sixers
the celts got a better draw
embiid not a lock for g1
oh boy
no chance hes not playing
sixers -8 game one
I'm not worried about the nets even though I would have preferred Orlando. Sixers will blow a game with 25 TO and someone like Russell or dinwiddie will go off once but no chance they lose a series.

embiid dominant but is not in game shape at all....its great that hes owning the ball but everyone else is on the outside looking in and what id worry about is if this game is close in the 4th embiid is going to be spent and no one else will have a feel or rhythm for scoring
This is going poorly.
Nice 12-0 run to end the quarter
Quit jacking stupid ass threes. farging idiots
Brown's being out coached
Nets clogging the middle and forcing the Sixers to hit outside shots. It's working really well. This is where Tobias and Butler need to step the farg up.
sixers just not winning this series.....i should have put two bucks on it
the team is just not constructed to win in todays nba
Everyone was on the Nets too saying they're the team to pull off an upset
I think it opened at -8.5 and close at -5.
And it's a shock that Brett is being outcoached. Once they get bounced maybe they can get a new coach in there
iceholes still can't buy a bucket. Jesus Christ another turnover
Anyone wanna make a shot?
Guess I'll go out and wax my car and drink beer in the garage and put it on the radio. Five minutes without a bucket and 0-13.
Way to come out strong, iceholes
Can't stand the announcers, either. ESPN like to have the loud, used-car-salesperson types at all times. Muted.

I can't believe how many of my friends I talk to about the NBA defend him and suck him off. We just saw his only shot, a dunk. Go to LA already.
reddick and simmons are an unreal -50 thru 3Q
I mean Todd scores more with the ladies than Ben does on the court
Nets banging 10/20 treys is the story
Let's see some farging energy. Let Jimmy roll with this
That was disgusting. Dinwiddie parting the red sea.
BOO BOO fargING BOO
I'm done
That possession and sequence was total ass
Where the farg was Jo passing that? And then lousy effort on the long board and of course they bomb a three.
farg off
ive been trying to tell everyone about ben since his first nba game.....no one wanted to listen
End this so I can go to the Masters full time
I hope they're booed off the court
Nice to see Amir and Embiid looking at a phone during the game
Ridiculous
Out hustled, out coached, sloppy passes, getting beat on the boards. Hungry dogs run faster...and that's the Nets
That pass...farg off Ben
good thing is 90% of us on this board anticipated this. Not shocking at all. What is shocking is the lack of effort. At least look good sucking.
YES Simons with the uncontested dunk! YES! AWESOME!!
Only farging thing in his repertoire.
JoJo gotta get back to the text messages. Maybe they're following the Masters on moving day.

Ben sucks. Turnover machine, no shot, yes plays good defense but so what. Go to LA and tap more of that fat ass.
Silver lining
Celtics will most likely get pick 14 from the unprotected sac pick in the Fultz trade
Sixers traded Fultz and get OKC's 1st which is pick 21
So the Sixers essentially moved up from 3 to 1 for 7 spots in the middle of the draft
Of course Tatum's already a good player and Fultz will probably be outta the league in a year but at least the trade isn't as lopsided as it could have been
so its like the second worst trade ever instead of the worst?
cool

The trade itself moving from 3 to 1 and only sacrificing 7 slots in the middle of the draft is good value. The players taken with those picks is the real issue.
fultz for tatum is an astonishingly bad trade....throwing in that pick no matter where it ends up is beyond description bad
they gonna win tonight?

If they have any pride whatsoever they will.
They aren't winning a game without a healthy jo jo
if they get swept brett will get fired so really in the grand scheme of things
He's not in the top ten problems with the team
Ben can't even knock down a layup
the game is 10 minutes old and simmons has missed like 7 layups already
Davis is killing them
Someone body up on him JFC
they got ed davis and joe Harris for 12 million dollars total
Hint: the Nets are going to shoot threes
Maybe play some goddamn defense?
Lol at that sequence by Ben and Jojo
Wild erratic shot by Ben and Jo misses a one foot gimme
Frustrating
just get swept already
Nice of Ben to show up tonight
nets in 5
pretty good quarter
Helluva quarter
jo better not see the floor this quarter
theres a dude right behind the table, near the sixer bench, wearing a columbus blue jackets jersey and a yamaka
Seems like if they just keep scoring 51 point quarters they will be in good shape.

:-D :-D my son caught that as well. You pay playoff ticket prices you wear what ever you want I guess.
A team with talent enough to drop 51 and outscore the other side by 28 shouldn't lose very often, especially to teams like the Nets.
Nice to hear Brett's testicles finally dropped.
watching shamet knock down that clutch 3 last night hurt me. tobias needs to get his shtein together.
Agreed on Tobias
I fell asleep and didnt even know the Clips came back
Jojo is out
Brooklyn was getting easy boards early on.
Hope their three point game doesn't stay hot
Why is Greg Monroe in the NBA, much less a playoff game?
He can be effective against the nets because they are small yet cant pull bigs away from the basket
not saying he will be but if boban can play against you then Monroe can
monreo wasnt on the team a minute ago but now hes starting
this is fine
This is a playoff game correct? Nets home crowd sucks, no life.

Nice little implosion here
Here it comes. Little earlier than normal.
holy shtein was that embarrassing
Hollis Jefferson got in Simmons head and he lost it
One why is he letting the ball roll up the court like they needed to save time it was a one possession situation
then he went to score right away with 18 seconds left like it was a two for one
This is a joke right now. they look like a giant cluster farg
Uh oh
Come on you fargers
Nets ain't gonna stop chuckin'! Jesus.

WTF Boba! PLAY SOME DEFENSE!!
Goddamn Boban
They had a playoff length tv timeout and still brought boban back with 5 and 8 minutes left
Fouled out on a stupid shot.
Ok Ben, Magic Johnson time.
Brett really hates Jonah bolden
These refs call farging everything especially for a playoff game
A. Someone farted
B. Someone has bad BO
C. Sixers Stink
That bench shot of everyone fanning there noses was priceless
how bad are the nets on the boards...Ben has 27 pts and less than 5 rebounds and jo jo didn't play
Nice win but Brett has done some real stupid shtein tonight.
Cue the sixers play better without embiid crowd tomorrow.
hack a Ben
Smart move by then because he farging hates that. Just happy he made it and shut that down.
they won
Gotta hand it to Ben - he balled
Ben was loving all the space out there with no jo jo
think everyone has known for a couple years they are a bad fit but man did tonight showcase it
Tobias Harris best game as a Sixer. He got some tough boards.
I'm obviously not a huge Ben fan and am the leader of the you'll never win big in the nba with a lead guard who can't shoot but you have to big up him huge this series for how he came out in game 2 after the boos and then tonight after the beef of the last two days
He always plays well when he has a chip on his shoulder. This team needs adversity, there's a lot of different personalities but that's something they can all rally around.

:paranoid
i'm just happy jo got all those crazy minutes in the first 60 games of the year when it really mattered.
their defensive rotations are pathetic...nets smartly putting boban in space today more times already than they did all of game 3
the sixers lead the universe in 2 guys fighting over the same rebound and having it deflect off one and to the other team
jo has made several gorgeous post passes
jonah bolden is so bad and ben isnt much better
is jo hurt
They gave up 63 farging points to these shteinheads.
The farging turnovers...sloppy fargs
i dont think they win as they look all out of sorts but the positive today is this is a game that feels like a 17 point deficit then you look up and its 6
lol dudley is a troll
hes smart....hes like the basketball version of a zesty ass player in hockey trying to get the other good teams players out of the game
refs are gonna make an example to chill the game out but should be a common on jo and a tech on dudley and thats it
dudley got what he wanted
Dudley is a ho
what the farg
Tossing Jimmy is bulllllllshtein
one of the worst calls ever....he said they were both escalators....but one of the escalators farging came from 20 feet away to start it
and a flagrant on jo is a travesty
Yup

Apparently Butler has specifically asked to speak with the media.
The scuffle turned into a melee because Russell came barreling in...not sure how he's not tossed.

Look Nets, Allan never even had control of the ball. Russell made a horrible pass, Allan was juggling it the whole time. It was a disaster from the beginning.
i mean it was a clear foul on allen but he is a terrible offensive player and hes diving to the basket....its not like deangelo was trying to take someone off the dribble or levert was coming off the wing going to the rim
ass whoopin
Nets knew their chance was game four and came out like it
Clean up the goddamn turnovers for fargs sake
I was kinda secretly wishing for a wild close game but I guess this is better. Still won't be confident til they keep this lead until mid third.
Lol at that back court
time to irrationally start hating canada
If Mike Scott is hurt for real it's big. Sad but true.
Agreed. He's important
Random thought: it's so nice to no longer see Fultz in street clothes at the end of the Sixers bench
That Jimmy Butler's a terrible teammate...

just no way i can see him getting on the court for real playoff minutes.....its would almost be a travesty...i think what they do is up ben butler and tobys mpg
i cant imagine the sixers extending this series anything past 5 games but my stomach is still in knots right now....just want them to win soooooo bad
the raptors missed iike 1 shot that qtr
that sixer fan in the front row whol holds his stupid sign up on every made shot is so farging annoying
man if jj get even get a little on track it would be huge
is jonah bolden on toronto
james ennis has more pts than jj and jimmy combined
really not sure how this is single digits
jj bubbling a little
jj boiling
jj and ennis have more pts than jo and ben
whhy cant they just quit
Kawhai's just on a different level
Sixers aren't nearly as good as they think they are
Complete lack of discipline defensively
Lazy ball movement on offense
The positives:
The Phillies didn't blow a 9 run lead
The Eagles draft was decent
Endgame was pretty good
GOT epic battle tomorrow night
lololol boban was -17 in TEN minutes
if kawahi only takes 1 shot every 6 minutes they might win
Ben being Ben, stupid
Sixers with 12 turnovers
Simmons with another. make it 13
Kawahi and Co. aren't coming out flat in 2H. Stop with the turnovers, sloppy asses.
farging turnovers
JFC
JIMMMMAAAYYY
Huuuuuge bucket by Jojo
they really want to lose to the celtics
Sixers played better but Toronto played down because of the ease of game 1. Still way too many turnovers...Sixers killed them on the glass. Toronto is damn tough on d.
WE WILL ROTATE!
Ben was elite on Kawhi tonight but terrible on the other end.
Probably Brett's best game in a game that matters.
I am worried about Jojo's body lasting a few more weeks.
Still a great win. Raptors the better team but with some luck the Sixers can take this series.

I have zero negatives from last night. brett is coaching the best he ever has. somehow the bench is actually a strength against the raptors. as a prior let jimmy walk and sign harris guy, i am now in the keep jimmy camp. if he's cool with his role as closer, 3rd option, whatever, and if ownership doesn't care about the luxury tax, why the farg not. i really did not expect the raptors to break like this. added silver lining is that no chance kawhi stays in Toronto next year.
i think milwaukee is better than the celtics, yet I still like the sixers chances against the bucks more.

JoJo? Jesus he is in a bad place today
Jo missing that gimme and then Leonard with the dagger
Harris could make a shot this quarter Sixers would be in great shape.
Not sure what the point of Ben Simmons was today. Liability on both ends of the court. Butler should run the point. PG in the Sixers is essentially pointless

Swear to god, until he attempted that pathetic slap at the ball trying to keep it alive under the sixers basket, I don't recall a damn thing he did in the fourth. Oh wait, the meaningless basket with 00:05 left was key.
Toronto stopped guarding Simmons completely. If he doesn't have a lane they don't have to worry about him scoring. They play a 3 man zone and guard on kick outs. He's irrelevant as a point guard this series...and it's not like he's Jason Kidd on his feeds. At least when Jimmy has the ball they send a defender out to guard him.
Jojo needs to get his diet straight. Gastro issues are mostly diet related.
Been hearing Buckets post game comments all night. Damn I love this man.

Glutton for punishment I guess but I'm watching this game for the tv aspect of it and Ben might have been worse on defense than offense yesterday
He was awful. Can't shoot a j, can't hit a FT and couple that with Jojo being a walking Petri dish of germs and sucking ass...and this is what we got

Just checked the box score so Simmons and Reddick combined have 10 points? Bring home that title!
Can't wait to hear Ben talk tough afterwards
And Jojo to act like he's dying
jojo is me when i was 11. my akiba hebrew academy's 7th grade team traveled down the blvd and north broad to face the 6th grade from raymond and ruth pearlman jewish day school (which i lived near). we were losing and a historic upset was brewing, so being the coward that i am, i faked sickness and my moms took me home in the middle of the game. i found out later we did lose.
jojo is an 11 year old loser jew. i hope you enjoyed this story.
I agree.

Got to give Bret the Mr. Positive award during his presser
It's taken 20 years of this website until any of you have been right about anything, but Ben is not the future of this team. As a Process homer I've been giving Ben the benefit of the doubt. He has been totally useless this playoffs. I truly thought after getting mashed after last game he'd come out workin it but he was somehow even worse tonight.
Next year they need a new coach - step 1.
Step 2 - And I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd take whatever haul we can get for Ben Simmons. A top tier PG and high number one draft pick would be perfect. I just can't take it anymore.
I still give Sixers a 46% chance of beating the Raptors.

jojo is me when i was 11. my akiba hebrew academy's 7th grade team traveled down the blvd and north broad to face the 6th grade from raymond and ruth pearlman jewish day school (which i lived near). we were losing and a historic upset was brewing, so being the coward that i am, i faked sickness and my moms took me home in the middle of the game. i found out later we did lose.
jojo is an 11 year old loser jew. i hope you enjoyed this story.
I wanted to hate that so much but pretty spot on.
Colin Herd is the biggest Ben Simmons chugger on the planet. I can't wait to hear what high pitch says on his show in the morning.
Give me Buckets!
Well said Matty!!
QuoteA huge and debilitating problem for the 76ers is Joel Embiid's systemic doo-doo butt. What started as a case of the shteins has become an upper respiratory infection, on top of a balky, tendinitis-riddled knee. Embiid looked downright miserable on the floor for his 31 minutes of burn; in the fourth quarter, when Brett Brown finally ended his suffering, Embiid appeared to be having something like an emotional breakdown on the bench. At his best, Embiid is one of the very best and most destructive players in basketball; in his current condition, he was good for a Thomas Bryant-like 13 points and six rebounds, and a Hasheem Thabeet-like eight turnovers. You'd cry, too, especially after eating this huge Kawhi dunk
OMG, I love it!!
QuoteThe other major problem for the Sixers these last couple games has been the production of Ben Simmons. He's got an extremely hard job to do in this series, because Kawhi is both an unstoppable offensive monster and also one of the toughest defenders in basketball, and those two are inevitably matched up a ton. Part of what Kawhi has working to his advantage, though, is Simmons's utter passivity at the offensive end. Simmons has scored 33 total points over the last four games of the series, including just seven points Tuesday night. He has attempted just three total free throws over that span. And where he was at least willing to take shots—a modest but respectable 13 of them—in Philadelphia's Game 3 win at home, in Game 5 he attempted just five field goal attempts in 25 minutes. He has become a complete non-entity in Philly's half-court offense; were it not for his five turnovers, it would be possible to forget he'd even been in the game. During the remotely competitive portion of Tuesday night's loss, you would've had a hard time guessing which of Philadelphia's home-grown stars had poop-lung.
Quote"If you want people to remember The Process forever, you've got to step up."
Shaq and Chuck just crucifying JoJo is priceless
QuoteShaq to Embiid: "I got some cough drops for you. Man up"
Does anybody care?
The question is do they keep it close and lose by 5-10 Sunday or do they get blown out by 20+
Nice win.
Great to see the energy. The flagrant on Jojo was horeshtein
Officiating was a travesty the last 5 minutes. Even Doris Burke said "unless someone draws blood, don't call any more fouls!' That call on Embid was so bad, correct total horseshtein.
you can disagree with the foul rules but that the call on embiid was 100% correct...it doesnt have to be intentional to be a flagrant...you smack someone in the face without playing the ball and its almost always going to be a flagrant
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 10, 2019, 08:31:41 AM

lol stop it an accidental slap to the face is most definitely not almost always a flagrant. i would not enjoy watching the league if that were the case.
that was an embarrassing call and will hopefully be rescinded given the fact he's only one away from a suspension.
I can not ever remember a 7 game series where 4 of them were blowouts.
unless you are playing the ball 90% of the time its getting called
even if you ARE playing the ball they might call it if its something crazy like jo's elbow in the nets series
big question for the nerds
sixers or GOT on sunday
Coin flip seeing as both seasons/series end on Sunday.
this is not the fairest comp considering time slots, game value and network, but just to give you all a sense
in philly
eagles/bears rating - 44.6
sixers/raptors game 6 rating - 14.3

how is this even a question....one is a live sporting event and one is a tv show you can dvr
no one likes game of thrones more than i like the wire and the wire is getting recorded with the quickness in this scenario
sixers probably not winning anyway but their % goes from like 10 to zero if portland wins

Their supposed elite point guard won't shoot outside.
Their supposed elite center seemingly won't post up inside.
This team is maddening.
5 TO and 5 offensive rebounds given up in a Q is not going to get it done
is jo going to have anything left by the 2 qtr let alone the 4th
all he has to do is guard the rim on defense....everyone else hit some shots and stop turning it over
This could get ugly fast.
It's all Ben so far. Go figure.
this game is garbage but...theyre winning?
It seems to be a game about which team wants to lose the most.
I know they don't have a backup center but Monroe needs to not play. Just put Simmons at center without Embiid.

stop being stupid....you dont honestly think he didnt call plays?...hes actually been fantastic this series with a poorly constructed roster
the problem is their point guard was jimmy butler...get a creator as your lead guard and you wont run into hell in crunch time
ben gotta go if your supposed franchise guard doesnt even have the ball in his hands to lead three season ending possessions...instead its a small forward who doesnt have a handle?

Yeah can't ditch BB
Who replaces him? Gotta keep him.

I'd think they'd come back with the exact same starting five and try to find some bench pieces.
Trading Ben probably means that Jimmy seeks his fortune elsewhere.

they didnt have a single validly good team in the 90's or 2000's....eric snow was the pg of their finals team who lost to an all time great lakers team...that was their "worst" moment
I can't be mad at it. It was an insane basket from the best player on a better team. Would have stung worse if the Sixers had the lead.
Overall did not feel as bad as getting abused by Brad Stevens. Worst aspect of this season was not the end but the fact that Simmons did not improve his game one iota over last year.

I'm mad but you're right about Ben. No improvement.
And nothing pisses me off more than zesty rebounding. They were awful
i dont think it can be overstated yet its not even being talked about...ben simmonds did not bring the ball up with less than 5 minutes left in a game 7 close game
yet this is the process guy to lead the team to the next level?....gimme a farging break...if you wanna blame BB for anything its for having him in the game and not using him...i get the optics of having him on the bench and he doesnt wanna embarrass him...but if hes in the game he has to be the lead guard
amazing shot

love those kicks of the dude to kawahi's right
one saving grace is that there would have been no sixer bucks games in milwaukee while i am there for phils brewers in a couple weekends
I hope the 25-50 bucks that Havas made and the maybe 3-7 that todd made help you through this loss. I can't imagine being that type of person. Have a great night guys.
Todd L'ed up hard cause he doesnt understand reverse psychology betting
I won 146
all our teams lost and you got no money
not the first double L ive taken and it wont be the last
I'm numb from the final shot but they lost because they were outrebounded and outworked on the glass. Bottom line
Serge ibaka having one less three than Ben Simmons has baskets didn't help either
also that kawhi guy is good
Quote from: ice grillin you on May 13, 2019, 12:39:54 AM

Ibaka and Gasol neutralized Jo underneath allowing midget Lowry to get offensive boards. It was a disgrace under the glass and the sole reason they lost the game. Kawhai took 40 damn shots, he's one of the best players in the league no argument there but he wasn't great tonight
True....he wasn't super efficient...until the 4Q when he was almost perfect
he single handedly won the series
It's all going to be ok. Yes, I'm disappointed but I feared for JoJo in OT. He would have collapsed or never made it past half court on offense or defense. Ben with his usual "keep me out of this shtein" in crunch time, things weren't encouraging. If they had pulled this off no way they take the Eastern Finals past 5.
The lack of rebounding and two horrible shot clock violations late is what sent them off to an early tee time on Tuesday. I sent a text to Seabiscuit during the game saying it looks like they're playing with cement shoes. Half ass attempts at loose balls. that was disgusting.
What IGY said, not his best performance but Kawhai just said "get on my back gentlemen, I got this". Buckets tried but not even in the same league.
And I see one more farging shot of Jurassic Park I kick the next Canadian I see in the nuts. "Oh wow, look dude! There's like 125 people outside the arena! Ready to jump up and down right on cue, simply amazing!'
Brown back per Adrian Wojnarowski
He's only back because there's no one out there who's better
If they had fired him whole franchise should have been thrown into the river
the gm is the real concern...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he surprises me but I just don't see Elton ready for this
If Sacramento wins the lottery tonight that pick becomes the Sixers. No chance but still worth noting
So today has a 1% chance of being one of the greatest days in Philly sports history? That's a lot better than most days.
LMFAO
I clicked the wrong button and ended up at the beginning of this thread so started reading the first few pages...only a year and a half old and wow what a different fargin team right now. a lot of whats wrong with fultz questions. seems like forever ago.

Photo looks like something from the last decade. The Sixers made one season feel like five.
so who we gettin tonight nerds?
i am leaning towards all shooters. cam johnson at 24...maybe carsen edwards or someone like that at 33-34. stash a euro or two.
prob not worth drafting a backup C although if fernando from MD is around I would snatch that ass -- i love his body.
BPA every pick....no stashes no selling picks take the best players cause after butler and tobias dip the team is going to be jo and a bunch of garbage...they are going to need nba rotation players
i don't disagree with BPA even though i think the odds are higher than they both stay over both leave.
bol bol being there at 24 would be nice and he's hurt so that raises his chances of being a sixer.
in a perfect world id really really want okeke but i understand he isnt exactly the kind of guy they can take right now...altho having 33 and 34 makes it a lot more feasible
why not because of injury? i wouldn't be mad at him with a second.

he would have been fine where the sixers are but he went ridiculously high so it bumps better players down towards them
true. BB is my first but cam was my second.
danny ainge has had more draft picks die than make an all star game.
Schmitz relegated to Fran friscilla duties while the tragically bad Chauncey billups gets the stage is disgusting
chaunceys comps are embarrassing.
3 of the first 10 were kawhi.
honestly can't believe brandon clarke and kevin porter are still around. either one would be amazing.
farg the celtics so bad
i thought 3 and d guys needed both 3 and d or am i wrong
Definitely needed another guy who can't shoot. Ainge is laughing his ass off
they need wing defenders bad but I don't really get trading up there...there were multiple quality people on the board just take your bpa at 24 even if it's thybulle
Yeah I don't hate it but no need to trade up. I thought the trade up was going to be for Brandon Clarke which I would have been fine with.
the biggest thing about thybulle is that he's plug and play which like I was saying earlier today is what they need with the lack of players on the roster
dumb trade but the dumbest part is danny ainge got 33 instead of 34 so they will somehow farg the sixers one quick last time very shortly.

MY MAN
traded bruno already? what the farg is wrong with elton brand.
He was playing basketball 5 minutes ago he's not ready for this...and that's assuming he even has real input...this may be mostly harris' doing
this is an all time fail of a draft. i was giving elton the benefit of the doubt until they sign jimmy and tobias but this draft was a disaster. he turned 5 picks into one player?
fernando was the perfect pick at 34. traded for two future seconds doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

Seems to me that the Phils' road trip was better than the Sixers' draft.
this shtein is embarassing
I'm Shayoked by that pick.
They did it again:
https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/1141929680364351488
Brand: "Too many young guys on a team with championship aspirations does not work"
Yikes.
Giving up number 33 to move up 4 spots to get Thybulle is just terrible.
5 picks turned into one player who will play next year. Biggest needs are shooters and a backup center and we got neither.
Fernando was a perfect pick at 34 to give Jojo some rest so he doesn't turn into a pile of diarrhea in April and they traded him.
The fact that Elton couldn't even give up 34 instead of 33 just shows how new he is at this, given the fact that Boston took Edwards who most people on here wanted. So Ainge farged us twice.
I did watch the full 2-minute highlight video of Iowa Stae dude, seems fine. Luol Deng-ish.

Ainge knew the Sixers coveted Thybulle so he pulled a Hinkie/Orlando/Peyton maneuver to force the Sixers to trade up. Brand got schooled.

they were never going to use all 4 2nd round picks...and 2nd rounders aren't making the active roster of a win now team anyway.
whatever.
active roster includes the bench right?...you are acting like they have no available spots from 1-12
they arent going to be able to win now if they dont have a bench which is what will happen if by win now you mean resigning butler and tobias...this year at least they can add someone via the mle but once ben gets his max they will not be able to acquire proven role players anymore...so getting young cost controlled bench players is their only option
zhaire, bolden, thybulle, & shake (hopefully) are all young cost controlled bench players...maybe shayok is another...or on a 2-way. that's plenty of young cost controlled players, imo. they'll fill out the rest of the bench with vets. you can't have an entire bench of late 1st or 2nd round picks that brett won't even put on the court in the playoffs.
lol at bolden and milton...they arent nba rotation players....so thats two...there should be two more from last night...obviously theres no guarantee that zhaire or any pick from last night becomes a player....but you know what 100% doesnt become a player?...money
yeah...that's kind of the point. the 2nd round picks they traded last night weren't going to be rotation players either...not on this team. you use all 4 second round picks last night & then what? you can only sign 2 of them to two-way g-league contracts. what are you doing with the other 2? you think the other 2 are making the active roster on a team that's all in when you already have the young guys i listed? i don't. the bench rotation will be vets...and you pray that maybe 1 of zhaire or thybulle becomes a rotation piece.

no one wanted all four but 33 and 34 definitely should have been used for players...its a travesty that they didnt add anyone there...and the reason not to have is because they have some good starters?...so no team should ever take a second rounder if they are trying to win?...just recently the sixers have gotten roco...shamet....richaun...jerami grant in that area of the draft...so to say whoever they get there will not be a player is just not right
i have no idea why you keep saying on a win now team...that has nothing to do with not having a bench...they are a win now team for the next 3-5 years IF they sign jimmy and tobias and if they do that they will be severely limited in acquiring veteran players during that time...which means no bench...and what if butler and tobias leave....what if just one of them does?
33 was used to move up for a guy they really liked, so...
34 i'll give you...that's a pick they could've used. (they did flip it for atl's 2020 2nd...which should be in the 30s...and a 2023 2nd that should be as well) but that's really the only pick that might have landed a more useful player then they got at 54.
i keep saying win now because they view themselves as championship contenders and want vets for their playoff rotation. if you're a rebuilding team, sure...stock up on 2nd rounders & hope one hits. but i don't think they want to use any more roster spots on projects.
people like to queef about the draft every year...it's tradition. i wasn't thrilled about what they gave up to move 4 spots..especially since it was boston. but i like the player they drafted there. this offseason was always about free agency so let's see what they do there.

actually most people loved almost every pick hinkie made...shtein most people liked the markelle move...so no people didnt complain last night because thats what happens at the draft...they complained because it was garbage...including giving the pick to get thybulle
there is no money to get vets to fill out the rotation if they resign both guys and if they dont resign both guys they probably arent contenders anyway..and im talking for the foreseeable future...3-5 years....this year they have a little wiggle room even if they sign both guys...but not enough to be giving away potential players
and this is all assuming that they sign both guys...if they dont sign them then you still want young projectable non guaranteed money prospects on your roster
they should have had three guys taken at 24, 33, 34 out of last night...the picks after that dont mean much...as for getting picks next year who cares...the chance they will be better than last nights seconds is almost zero...you dont know if there will be the quality that was there last night and you dont know that they arent going to end up selling those picks anyway
it was a BAD night...theres just no way to spin that...and my god if they lose both jimmy and tobias it gets even uglier
I loved it. Great picks all around. Go team.
**queef**
So are they tanking again? What's going on with the basket balls?
It's spelled with a "z" at the end, Silly Goose.
So are they tankingz again?
Yez
can someone explain to me why the sixers drafted a guy who cant shoot. they already have one more of those than youre supposed to have.
they do need wing/perimeter defenders...but i agree if you are going to come out of the draft with one player it was better to get a shooter
of course i have an idea that might of worked....how about not trading 33 and 34 and you could of had a shooter and a defender
Woj says the Rockets want Jimmy to re-sign here and then demand a trade to them.
Wut
until that's what jimmy wants, woj can eat a bag of deeks.
jimmy who needs the ball bad would not end well on a team with james harden much less james harden and chris paul....i dont know how those three could play even one quarter of basketball together
that would be interesting to watch. :-D
plus they'd have to give up some combo of gordon, capela, & tucker to clear room for butler. their team would be gutted.
everyone seems to be jumping on this jimmy to houston story ... i fail to see how houston has the upper hand in any of this.
they have possibly somewhat of an upper hand if he's told the sixers he not resigning with them no matter what....then the sixers are going to pursue a S&T over letting him walk...assuming there are no other teams interested in a butler S&T the rockets are in a decent position...not sure if its truly an upper hand tho
i mean if he plans on walking anyway then I guess 2 or all of eric gordon / pj tucker / capella is a win win for everyone.
sometimes i wish woj would just keep his god damn mouth shut.
Quote[Wojnarowski] Reporting w/ @ZachLowe: Houston's offering Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker individually to teams w/ space to absorb salary. Rockets trying for best available first-rounder for any of those three, hoping to redirect pick to Philly in pursuit of Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade.
Quote[Woj] Philadelphia has been privately expressing confidence around NBA that it can re-sign Butler and Tobias Harris, but Houston remains on case of selling Butler/76ers with a sign-and-trade scenario once free agency starts on Sunday.

would have liked to keep JJ but my guy reaction to today is not bad. josh richardson is nice.
NBA is like a fantasy league lately with these moves. Feels more like trial and error than trying to piece together the right basketball fit. Not just for the Sixers but everywhere. It is entertaining though.

They should be the best defensive team in the league.

hes making the same as last year and will be younger than kyle korver is now when the deal ends....i dont think it was overly expensive or long even for his age...shooters can often play forever...jj just cant be your starting 2G....especially in the playoffs where its harder to hide him on defense
i would have payed JJ but can't fault him for getting his money. prob not too many years left. not sure why anyone would have an issue with two years.
but now we can all call him out on the fraud that he is. staying close to the family not that important i guess.

We all knew the max extension was coming. Not holding my breath on the shooting.
Even if he learns to be merely competent he's still worth the dough with everything else he can do.
Seriously he's going to be a great player. You guys are nuts if you want him gone.
i am happy they maxed him. i'd still like for him to shoot a basketball. since he's a basketball player.
how can a great player not be able to shoot and when he does from within 3 centimeters not even be that good at it
ben isnt BAD but i feel like theyre signing up for 2nd and 3rd exits with him
you can win with him but hes gotta be your 4...a draymond type four minus any of the shooting...you are never winning a title with ben at the point

Is Danny Green still in play? Heard some rumblings about him last night being a good fit on the Sixers.
Shake apparently getting whatever is left of the money in a four-year deal.
QuoteMike Scott, Kyle O'Quinn and James Ennis will combine to earn $8.8M in 2019-20.
That's actually pretty solid by Elton.
Guess Mayok and one scrub (TJ?) and they are done.
QuoteA league source insisted that Ennis had more lucrative offers elsewhere, but he had a strong desire to compete for a championship and was willing to sacrifice in order to be part of a team he thought could win a title this year. To fill out their bench without a lot of cap maneuverability to work with, the Sixers were going to need someone, internally or externally, to take a hit on the bottom line. Ennis turned out to be willing to absorb that.
And it should be noted that he's a great fit within this program both on and off of the floor. Ennis has a real bond with starting point guard Ben Simmons away from the court, and on the court he was the quintessential glue guy for Philadelphia's bench last season. It's not as flashy as a new pickup, but Ennis is reliable and can do two things the Sixers need desperately — knock down open shots and switch on the perimeter.
Shake
QuoteMilton was arguably the best player on the team's G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, for most of last season. Translating G-League stats to the NBA is far from an exact science, but he was an above-average shooter from deep (36.7 percent) on high volume (5.9 attempts per game) and finished the season as Delaware's leading scorer with 24.9 per game.
Milton was decidedly a mixed bag at the pro level during his first NBA season, but he showed enough flashes to inspire confidence in him moving forward. The primary question surrounding Milton at this time is what sort of guard he's going to be at this level, and that has really been the question for him since he left SMU.
Utah signed Mudiay for $2.5 million and Jeff Green for roughly the same. I'd rather have those two players than I would Scott and Ennis
this is it this is the list....the bench is utter garbage but we knew that...whats a lot more frightening is the offense...i just dont know how thats going to work...they dont have a single player that can create on his own and they dont have any shooters

Spacing is going to be weird. After seeing all the deals that went down they could have made a lot better use of the money they spent signing Horford and Scott
scott's getting like 4M a year? way down on my list of worries for next year. he's their most experienced bench guy.
hopefully they can keep teams to 59 points per game and won't need to make jump shots.
Over $4 million. I like Scott because he brings attitude but would you rather have Scott at $4.9 million or both Jeff Green and Mudiay combined for the same amount.
horford & j rich both shoot the 3 as good as or better than butler...yeah, they'll miss jj's shooting. but they won't miss his horrible defense & all the work it took to get him open. a shooter off the bench would've been nice but they're capped out. have to hope one of the young guys can make some shots.

regardless of who you would rather have theres no denying they way overpaid for scott...he shoudnt have gotten anything more than the vet minimum...they not only doubled that they gave him multiple years
in brands defense we have no idea if green or mudiay even wanted to come to the sixers...in fact all reports say mudiay wanted to play for quinn snyder pretty badly...still when it came to scott seems like brand panicked when the market started drying up
Quote from: hunt on July 03, 2019, 10:34:50 AM
horford & j rich both shoot the 3 as good as or better than butler
horfords sample size of shooting the three is so small theres no way you can say this...he didnt make threes at an acceptable % until he got to boston with kyrie and a bunch of wings who could create and kick to a wide open horford...sixers have no one who can do this.......if you are counting on horford to space the court next year or be knocking lots of threes you are going to be really disappointed...he is not going to be open like he was in boston....horfords greatest asset next year is going to be running pnr with richardson...they both are really good at it
richardson is a much better three point shooter but again he cant create his own shot...hes at least taking pull ups now but hits in the 20%tile....his ability to pull up at a higher % next year is going to be super important because again the spacing isnt going to be there for spot ups...at least richardson unlike horford can punish close outs...really richardson is the key to the whole team next year
mudiay stinks and shoots the 3 worse than butler, horford, or j rich.
anyway, horford attempted and made more 3's per game last year than butler did in his time w/ philly. neither are volume 3 pt shooters though.
they had to replace redick...he's way too one dimensional & couldn't get good looks against better competition in the playoffs. and whoever they replaced redick with was always going to be a worse shooter but better defender...so i can live with that trade off.
it's a very talented but very flawed roster right now.
not all threes are the same...jimmy can get his own shot...this makes a huge difference especially on a team with serious spacing issues...horford obviously cant get his own shot and richardson shoots a horrific % on non catch and shoots...hopefully he gets better
also its not all about threes....they desperately need guys who can get their own shot ANY kind of shot...mudiay can do this and is only 23...as i said its not really worth talking about cause he had utah tunnel vision but i would taken a vet minimum flyer on him in a second....i cant stomach jeff green....hes a team killer...at least ennis and scott are great teammates
jeff green is notorious for making everyone on the floor worse when he's out there. big pass on that guy. the difference between what mike scott is getting and vet mimimum would not have mattered when it comes to bringing in an A+ shooter. plus mike scott is a cool ass dude.
losing JJ hurts the team worse than jimmy.
i'm still pretty meh on brett brown as a coach or else I'd say they will find a way to make it work because I think this team is better than the team a week ago.

igy covered my thoughts on the Horford can shoot the 3 argument. I'm fine with leaving JJ leave. $12 million for a 35 year old who is one of the worst defensive starters in the league is too much. As a bench guy at $6 million sure but his defense is as big of a problem as Ben's lack of a an outside shot.

Would you rather have Mudiay or Ennis or Scott? I would have liked Jeff Green over Mike Scott and Mudiay over Ennis. They'd of been cheaper too. Maybe they didn't want to come to Philly for the vet min but maybe they'd have taken $4 million on a one year deal
ennis & scott are making peanuts & don't matter much. idk if mudiay or green had any interest in philly anyway.
to me, the argument is whether or not the big contract they gave horford could've been better spent on other guys. but i get why they did it. the +/- difference between jojo on the court and jojo off was ridiculous. horford should help that quite a bit.
but once they gave horford that $, you knew the bench was gonna be shtein.

The end of that game was a work of art.
The ending of that game was a contest on who would farg up more.
Since it's just summer league, I was cracking up. Good Lord, that was horrible basketball.
i know it's summer league but i've been very impressed with thybulle. reminds me a lot of covington. also looks like zhaire is getting back into form, will be so clutch if he can give any valuable minutes at all this year.
It's only summer league so I try not to get too excited but Thybulle was better offensively than has been advertised. Shayok could turn into a decent bench option.
when any fan of any team begins a thought with "its just summer league" you know a super homer take is following
Especially when they follow with "I try not to get too excited". I know you guys are fair weather fans so let the real fans like me and Matty focus on the young bucks and drop scouting reports.
I love summer league. It's kinda trash basketball but fun to watch when there is literally no other sports worth watching at this time of year.
I also love that Pelle dude. He tries to yam everything. That other 7 footer Christ something should never be on a basketball court again.
It's every bit as much fun to watch as regular season games. The summer league guys are fighting for jobs, not $190M contracts.

good to know the franchise point guard didnt care about basketball last year while the sixers lost on a game 7 last second shot against the nba champions
He was a 22 year old kid drowning in Hoyda, he gets to use the excuse exactly once. Now show us you can hit a 15 footer in a real game.
Drowning in Kardashian Hoyda at that

Bullshtein move
Oh My God! Really? "Ruining the fan experience"? All three people within 10 rows of them I'm sure are in therapy today. I'm flying up and providing the poster board and the sharpies. Bad move Sixers.
This is a thing that's happening all over multimedia. The winner of a recent Hearthstone tournament held up a piece of paper that was pro Honk Kong during the postgame interview; his stream was immediately cut, the two broadcasters fired, and his prize money was withheld.
I was annoyed that I couldn't watch the game but I see there has been 31 fouls in the first half and now I feel better.
I know it's only preseason but love what I'm seeing from Thybulle.
Horford ringing the bell was the Philliest thing since Rocky.
They can start playing any time now.
An unusual amount of korkmaz run already.
hey a shooter would a nice thing to have
Tobi is our shooter. And he can't shoot. Might be a problem.

Nice start. Time for Simmons to mature and take control of this team.
james ennis was the hindenberg tonight
any time they beat boston, it's a good day. f boston.
Matisse looked really good going against Kemba is his first game ever. Got a few rookie vs all-star bad calls but held his own. Def going to be an all nba defense guy at some point.
But yeah if Ennis is the 6th man like he was yesterday, I don't think this bench is as deep as some people seem to think.
Ennis was god awful regular season last year but was absolute money in the playoffs. He's just one of those guys.

I kept thinking to myself "alright he'll sit him after that" but he kept throwing him out there. No reason to empty the bench in the first half and use off balanced rotations because JoJo is out. Horford moves to 5 and go from there.
loving this al horford fella
i wanna see bens length tonight against trae dawg
Whoa...this is a family site sir.
Solid defense to start. 40 point first.
Shake to the rescue!
that's an outrageous call
Flagrant 2 for Scott?
That's some silly ass shtein right there
theres been a lot of shake milton here, much more so than i was prepared to handle
So I'm all for Thybulle getting run because of his defense even with him being a liability on offense. However, he needs to realize he's a liability offensively right now and not chuck.
What the farg was that
https://twitter.com/NBCSPhilly/status/1189002706507239427
they did not look particularly good last night and that was a game that always used to lose so thats something.
still worried about their shooting. i can't remember tobias making an important shot other than that nice third quarter he had against the pistons.
can't complain much about embiid but still not ideal for him to chuck a three with 20 something seconds remaining.
They were up by 1 with under a minute left when Tobias made a tough shot in the post to put them up by 3. He's streaky.
The officiating was horrible on both ends
there's a reason Tobias is on his 5th team

yeah I remember that. still going 1-9 on threes when he's supposed to be the shooter of the starting five is not going to last long. he's got that convington-ish shot where you can tell the second it leaves his hands whether its going in or not.
They definitely need a shooter. Preferably one who can also hit 3's. You can see the writing on the wall coming later this season.
wonder what it would cost to trade for landry shamet?
so 3 crunch time possessions

-jo 3

This is a perfect opportunity for Ben to take some outside shots
Embiid and KAT just went at it a bit. Probably both tossed.
Mostly a wrestling fest, though.
KAT so salty from that instagram burn last year still what a soft batch bitch.

that play design for furk was a beaut
Apparently Simmons done for the game with a "sore shoulder."
How many cigs you think jokic smokes at halftime. What a tubby farg.
Def has a tuna can dong.
Solid performance from the bench the first half.
Not getting my hopes up but if Korkmaz can even somewhat keep this up from 3 it'll be huge moving forward
Yeah I know it's early but would an 8th 9th man ever be in the conversation for most improved? He's a def surprise the last 5 games.
Hopefully just the altitude but jo looks slow as farg.

They really miss Jimmy Butler
Brutal farging loss. Outscored 35-13 in the fourth.
al horford is a perfect basketball player. rest of these dudes need to sack up. jo looked slow all night. tobias didn't even attempt a 3 until the 4th, although shooting was not the issue last night. bench looked pretty good overall.
weird team so far.
you can change the pieces around this all you want the bottom line is you can't win in today's nba with a PG who literally can't shoot
horford bricked a few open 3s
jo was awful
bartrum and jokic hit low % shots
not a great 4q but its november
https://twitter.com/PompeyOnSixers/status/1193503996033536001
Still - Sixers choked bigly in that game.
This challenging fouls rule is one of the dumbest changes in years. I'd be curious of the actual % because I haven't seen them reverse one yet all year. What a waste of time.

Yep
It's like the dumb PI challenge rule in the NFL. Knee jerk reaction to one incident.
kork 3rd in the league in 3 pt % right now.
Korkmaz the best player on the team right now. Tobias the worst.
Boooooooooooooooooooooo!
meh. a win but was not pretty.
This team seems to play lackadaisical far too much of the game.
for every 5 minute stretch of good tobias there is a 25 minute stretch of hot garbage.
and good to see markelle is still a mopey sack of shtein. why is that dude even playing basketball he obviously does not enjoy it.
Fultz's shot looks even worse if that's somehow possible
james ennis is unwatchable
Took less time than I expected but on offense teams are exploiting how slow the Sixers are and their lack of athleticism. On d they're just bunching under the basket because the Sixers have no outside shooting.
whole team looks clueless tonight.
Pathetic effort tonight. Don't care if it's a back to back, that wasn't championship caliber.
Which shooter can they trade for?

Nah he's still not good. Inbounds plays have always been Brett's strong suit. The rest of the game, not so sure.
I know Jo was out but what the farg was anyone even doing last night. Ben just stood at the three point line totally clueless of what to do out there, it's not like anyone is worried about him shooting. Tobias has had one or two good quarters in 11 games. farging Kyle O'Quinn was the best player on the floor last night by far.
Going to be a frustrating season until they figure some things out.
maybe they should have one person that can shoot
oh and a point guard that can score from outside of dunking
deep down i'm hoping that taking one shot is all he needs to start chucking them up, it just doesn't make sense.
markelle having the guts to throw up those pathetic shots makes it even worse.
Ugly 2nd quarter
Stupid Turnovers

I've had a day to process this, I can't. Simmons yes, Scott yes, few others I can see but a big man of Embid's stature can't make a single basket in 32 minutes? Maybe the earth is flat.
it's not even the poor shooting game that bothers me. it's that every once in a while, jojo just doesn't look like he wants to be there. he gets this pouty look on his face, has horrible body language, lumbers up & down the court, & pretty much gives zero effort. no coincidence that it's usually against bigs like gasol who he can't overpower. it's weak sauce.
but don't worry...he has richaun holmes at home tonight...so we'll get happy embiid shimmying & playing to the crowd. :sly

To me, he hasn't looked right all season. He has a couple of "great" games, but hasn't resembled the dominant force since his illness last spring. Makes me wonder if there is something else going on.
he avg 22and 12 in under 30 mpg on a team with zero shooters zero off the bounce guys and almost no passers
oh he and plays elite defense
pretty sure he's fine
is hunt MAGA? him having problems with the dark skinned african is uhhh...not a shock
no he is definitely the opposite of maga if you count your love of roger goodell he might be less maga than you

they have the best defensive starting 5 in the league and their best defensive player will eventually be matisse. his IQ on D is off the charts.
simmons - harris combo has been real nice recently too.
They're losing. By 14. To the Wizards.
They farging blow
I only caught the last half of the 4th quarter but aside from Harris they looked lifeless. Jo was in one of his sloppy dgaf moods.
Jojo isn't consistent and Ben is consistently not taking shots
Bad combo
i was at game last night and the only thing that excited me was seeing matisse in action. n bertans got hot, they threw matisse on him and he shut him down. dude is a going to be a DPOY at some point, his defensive IQ is off the charts.
i was not impressed by the rest of the team. 14 straight losses in DC.
This is nuts.
Ending is farging embarrassing. Every time they took the inbound pass they'd turn their backs to the net so of course they couldn't see an open player. No idea why they're trying to dribble every time they take the inbound, pass it forward, you know the farging double team is coming.
I need to look up their scoring for and against in the 2H as a whole and in the 4Q. They always let teams back into it

he can pout for 48 minutes for all i care if he gets 22-6-10 passes great out of the post and dominates defensively like he did last night
I agree I personally don't care if he's having fun but it's obviously a positive for someone to enjoy their life and job.
He spent 10 min. in the denver press conference straight up saying that he's not having fun this year since the KAT fight. If there's someone in his ear telling him to cut out the bullshtein, that person needs to go. bullshtein is a helpful part of his game.

Agree with all this. Let Jojo be Jojo. The Bad Boys never gave a farg about any of that shtein.
He's just not the same player despite what the stats say. He needs to post up and stop dribbling down low. Stop playing at the top of the key. Stop holding the ball for so long. He has the talent to be the best player in the league.
a center will never be the best player in the league again
a center on this sixers team will not be a top 20 player in the league
hes the best defensive player in the nba and averages 21 and 12.....i dont know what more you want from a center playing with ben simmons
to not be black with an attitude
All I asked was that he not turn the ball over quite so often.
hes not even in the top 10 in turnover % for CENTERS in the nba
other than he doesnt smile enough of course the only legit criticism of jo this year is some of his play in crunch time has not always been stellar
the rest is just hyper scrutinization
i just want jo to be happy thats all. and he said he's not happy right now. everyone deserves happiness even todd.

im not sure what fire is but it is different from stats
im sure when he comes out and has 19 and 12 next game it will be because he didnt fist pump enough
Did he raise his level of play last night yes or no? Did he agree with Shaq and Charles he needed to play better? He stepped it up. He needed a reality check.
i bet he lowers his level of play next game...then on another night sometime in the future he will raise his level of play
or maybe he should come out for starting warm ups every game on a mardi gras float and he will win mvp
what the farg are you guys even arguing about it's not an either or. he plays better when he's got that cocky attitude and he hasn't showed it much this year.
i found the interview with chuck and shaq to be a little cringey to be honest, he was looking up to them like a little puppy dog. but whatever if that's what it took to wake him up thanks charles.

So do the Sixers, far too often.
Over under the birds lose by more pts to the Cowboys (19). I'll go under but it's close
They have not been fun to watch for a while.
They fit right in with the other teams in this city, other than MAYBE the Flyers.
brett getting smoked by carlisle and spolestra should surprise absolutely nobody
if only jo jo had more fun
lol the eagle chants at the end of the sixers game were unreal
i looooooove philly sports

So the Sixers banned two fans for 12 months and the ST Holder permanently lost their rights over this?
And all because some Hoyda got his feelings hurt over being flipped off?
Ugh.

Curious about this. The Sixers partner with StubHub, if the fans purchased their tickets through StubHub why should the season ticket holder be responsible?
Usually they have language in there where you're responsible for whomever ends up with your tickets. I've sold some Astros games on there and i seem to recall reading that in the contract.
Not shocking news: Jojo is sick again. Wtf does he have aids?
My god this is the best they've ever looked.
They stopped playing defense. Now a 30 point lead is down to 14.
Classic Sixers loss there.
The sucking can stop any time now.
Dominate the Bucks
Lose to the Magic
Lose by one to Heat

Shoulda saved my money and got drunk at home
i dont know if theyre going to fire brett but they gotta do something...this is disaster level
not sure if you ever followed the nba but coaches are irrelevant
the sixers stink cause of the roster build
Still have to shteincan him tho
Bums
can't wait to hire a coach that will make Ben Simmons a good shooter
yeah i don't think brett brown is a good coach but the things they're terrible at i'm not sure are coachable. like being on the court together.
Weren't we told this team would start jelling by Christmas? All I see is disintegrating.
This team is such trash that embiid has to go diving for loose balls 3 minutes after he almost just lost a finger.

its not about jelling....its about harebrained roster construction...they just dont have workable pieces...you could give them a 12 month getting to know each other time frame and it still wouldnt matter
it also doesnt help that the one sensible addition which was adding al horford so that when embiid was off the court the team wouldnt implode has backfired since apparently horford aged 10 years over the offseason
technically they jelled perfectly on christmas.
mike scott is terrible
jell that
no jojo against boston tonight. they're reattaching his finger.
no jojo for 1-2 weeks prob more because sixers. glad they threw him back in the game after that to farg it up some more.

their last 2 minutes halfcourt offense without jo is one of the saddest things ive seen
Brutal

I have a sinking feeling that elton is going to play more fantasy basketball and do something crazy before the deadline.

Have one in XL. I looked a few months ago and they weren't available. Few weeks ago they were available in every size so I bought one. Store at the Neshaminy mall used to carry them but they're gone now.
Such a dope hoodie.
And actually some S and M just popped up since I posted that link so hopefully some L and XL will come back too.
XXL is there. Eat a few more tacos, Matt.
i am well on my way to XXL.
Snap they got XL there now too.
Furkan with 24? ???
i was there, can always say i was at the furkan game but more importantly the game where the sixers had too many men on the court
i missed last nights game. they actually went out with 6 people?
also the furkan game will always be vegas.

No Kyrie. Basically guarantees a Sixers L today.
Ben is putting on a show today. Too bad Matisse is the only other person helping.
Straight up the Ben and Matisse show with Big Al tossing in a few buckets
Second half was the best defense I've seen from anyone in years. Granted it's the Nets but they were farging locked in.

thats the problem with ben...he always does this shtein in january against a nets....playoffs tho he is eminently defendable....that has to change
i was talking about sixers defense in general in the second half but yes.
scott-neto-pelle-korkmaz-milton have been out there for an unbelievable amount of time. in the fourth quarter. go brett brown.
4th quarter collapse right on schedule.
brett took a TO. then came out with the same lineup.
VanVleet can't miss
Wonderful
horford and mattius 11 for their last 63 from beyond
thankful that horford was the smartest basketball player on the planet until 2 months ago. now he takes 7 contested 3s a night.
I missed the game but saw the stat chart after and almost crashed in traffic when I saw how many three's Horford attempted. I drank the Kool-Aid when they signed him as I have always loved the guy but it's getting ugly.
horford might be the worst signing in the history of the franchise
ai on the jump lookin like his entire diet is rum and cokes
First quarter d was sexy as shtein.
Ben the best guy on the court again.
james ennis is legit awful at sports
That double clutch tomahawk layup would have been nice.
No coincidence Ben looks like a top 5 player since Jo's been out

when he plays 30+ it's an auto loss
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 30, 2020, 09:51:36 PMthey really aren't if you realized they hired the least qualified GM ever to take over a team who was ready to win
It's amazing how little criticism it gets. Baffling move. And it took them forever to do it after firing Eric Jr too.
jo giving up at the end of the 3rd qtr was hysterical
go play volleyball in cameroon
Sure hiring EB was questionable.
But I'm talking about the players and the coach. Their inconsistency is annoying. The style of play is too
the reason its annoying is because elton brand put together a zesty roster that cant play with one another
hoping it's just the ridiculously terrible medical staff bringing jo back too soon but he was not right out there.
Ben is beyond bad
al horford is strait trash
Jo is god awful right now
1-11? I turned it off at the half to watch a high school soccer game. Best decision all weekend.
can they hire jay wright now or do they have to wait to lose in the first round
as GM?
outside of trading jo or ben how can any gm fix this
nobody wants horford or toby
trade Ben today but it's the GM that got them into this
also the GM is a clown that no one respects...when you have a super talented mix you need a brain with cache that can make power moves....they have a fantasy team owner
Ben was dominant while Jo was out. Jo needs to stick to the low post and not play 15 ft from the basket. He shouldn't be handling the ball at the top of the key or off as a wing player which he is 75% of the time. Every dominant center has played near the hoop but for whatever reason they're letting him roam free. Ben thrived when Jo wasn't there because he could run the offense without Jo holding him back. I don't blame Jo I blame Brown for not addressing the obvious issue. See my post in the beginning of the season with the team makeup and spacing. Not sure how everyone knew this was an issue except Brand. They needed a stretch 4 last season so they traded for Tobias. Ok...so then they sign a 4/5 in Horford who needs minutes and doesn't mesh well at the 4 when Jo's playing the 5. Mike Scott is just god awful and giving him $5 million a year was retarded. I'll give credit to Brand for Thybelle because he's a diamond in the ruff.
altho I would have him come in behind jo horford is a stretch four and works with jo...what literally nothing works with except four shooters is Ben
this team is complete garbage
Turned on the Flyers tonight because I didn't want to hear the Miami announcers. Smart choice.
Brutal. Sorry ass bums
they are terrible right now but there was one play last night that was so bad it made me laugh. jo and ben both basically trying to post up at the same time down low...no one could get either of them the ball...tobias starts backing his man down low....now every heat player is in the paint....horford takes a 3.
Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burke traded here for draft picks
hearing markieff morris for korkmaz & zhaire.
the real move that needs to be made is horford to the bench, imo. need another shooter in the starting lineup instead.
Quote from: hunt on February 06, 2020, 08:45:19 AM
hearing markieff morris for korkmaz & zhaire.
my god that would be terrible. the fact that korkmaz is as important as he is is wild and sad, but they can not trade their best shooter.
i dont give a farg about trading korkmaz but if you are going to trade two young assets like that you gotta do a little better than getting a guy for the locker room
wonder who gets dropped now. bolden and burke/neto I guess?
not that it makes a huge difference since the starters can't play together but getting burks for basically nothing is a little helpful.
korkmaz kind of stinks at everything but shooting so i won't be mad if he goes. and zhaire was a turrible draft pick who hasn't shown much. they'll have to pull of some sort of 2/3 for 1 deal or a deal for picks to create roster spots for burks & g-rob 3.
whatever. it's not like they were going to make a major move mid season.
kork is not an amazing player or anything but his one skill is what the sixers lack so I'd rather keep him.
zhaire can hit the road but i don't think he has any value around the league. same with literally every other non-starter.
most realistic "big" move would be to get rid of horford but no other team will take that contract.
i might be the only one but i think horfords contract is pretty movable...its basically 3 years 80 mil left...its terrible for a back up center but its not come crazy albatross
bye bye trash ennis. good riddance.
also i have not missed a dunk contest in 25 years and have no recollection of GR3 winning in 17.
Happy with these moves

Don't know if he's movable but after next season his contract becomes a valuable asset as an expiring
This team is assembled to beat Giannis and the Bucks but unfortunately no one else.
Jo is god awful doesn't give two fargs
Jo looks like total garbage.
I was about to say the same. What the farg is up with him?
He's been acting like a bitch since Shaq and Chuck hurt his feelings two months ago.
They did not hold back tonight either, maybe it'll reverse the effect.
He's been this bad for the past few weeks and even before the injury he was half assing it. He plays when he wants to. He has the talent to be one of the greatest Centers ever but he's a mental case. Same bullshtein with him that happened in the post season.
Yep

Here comes the third quarter laziness
So frustrating
Free fall right on schedule.
horford has taken 10 3s with 4 min left in the 3rd.
Ben and Matisse are the only two reasons I'm watching basketball right now.
They're having their toughness and heart openly questioned and called soft by former players
Low point
shaq and chuck have rightfully been shteinting on them all year.
I know the nba has reduced itself into a nightly three point shooting contest but JFC when Al and Jo do nothing but jack them up it's stupid
Fire Brett. He's been neutered and won't run a goddamn offense

If Jo thinks that's booing, he should come hang out at a sports bar when we watch the farging Eagles.
Hoyda.
I'm actually surprised they didn't get it much worse from the fans.
I've never been so annoyed with a good team before. Realistically I know this team has no shot to go far, but I still have a glimmer of hope that somehow they can make sense of everything by playoffs.
Nice that they were able to activate Burks for the game yesterday so he could get a DNPCD.

i was unreasonably mad at how good the heat looked and how happy jimmy looked all game last night. i know it was the dubs and they suck but man he is still causing philly locker room drama from afar. kinda respect it but still.
Only took 50+ games but they finally bring Al off the bench.
Feel like that Jimmy drama lit a match under these guys.
I guess the spacing helps also.
Jo playing under the basket. Al coming off the bench. Spacing is a breath of fresh air.
Nice to see Richardson playing well again. He was mediocre but really picked it up before he got hurt. He's lighting it up tonight.
This is nice to watch, but...
I might start believing again if they can start winning on the road.

Exactly my thought. Home games, even against good teams, haven't been the issue. I feel like we've already had about five of these "everything's supposedly okay now" home games. Win in Milwaukee next week if you want anyone to believe that shtein.
the road games don't mean much either
the question is can this roster win in the playoffs as constructed...bringing horford off the bench is a good start

i would submit being the 4 in a 4-5 heat series is vital
g7 in miami is an L and even the spike eskin level homer in you knows it
Miami is easily beatable and their home court is weak in the post season when the clubs on south beach are out of the equation
I mean home court against anyone in round one would better than not having it but in the end it doesn't much matter if the roster can't survive a playoff series together
the home court that would be most valuable would be in round two and/or three but obviously that's not happening
the best thing they can do is find the right rotation then mesh in time for the playoffs not worry about seed or home court at this point
sixers dont make it out of the first without home court
BET
you are kind of missing the whole point...you have to see how the new roster meshes over the next two months before making any bets but I like a even semi functional healthy sixers 5 seed over Miami in R1
furkan out here settin nba records....
Furkan Korkmaz in his last three games:
34 points in 29 minutes
31 points in 32 minutes
0 points in 23 minutes
He's the only player in NBA history to follow up consecutive 30-point games with a 0-point game (same season, min. 20 minutes each game).
his defense last night was actually really good.

Ben is out tonight - lower back stiffness.

would not be a terrible idea.
At least Kyrie is out too.
Started up 20-4.
Since then, down 40-8.
What a farging disaster.
they can fire brett now or in april when he gets pantsed by spoelstra

If these three being out makes the role players learn how to shoot and play confident, could be a nice silver lining to the last few weeks.
Also big al was +40.
Two minutes in, it was Al Horford 7, Golden State 0.
this has to be the worst ever saturday night abc game and i cant imagine theres a close 2nd
Kinda feel bad for ABC tonight.

If we assume that the Sixers' at-will payroll is, at most, $35 million annually, then reducing that total by 20% would mean a savings of, at most, $7 million. According to the team, the reductions will begin on April 15 and run through June 30, for a total of 10 weeks of pay, or 20% of the year. Which would mean that the actual cost savings is 20% of $7 million, or $1.4 million.
Now, let's pause for a moment to let that number sink in.
$1.4 million.
That's roughly the amount the Sixers would pay Al Horford for four games. It's less than twice the amount that they will have paid Trey Burke not to play for them by the end of the regular season. It's roughly 1/15th of the amount that they spent this offseason on a new scoreboard.
I spit up my pineapple juice when I read the Al Horford part.
you can put it in much more draw dropping perspective than that because very few people comprehend how much a billion dollars is
so the sixers top three stakeholders are worth 10 billion
the sixers have under 400 employees but let's be nice and raise it up to an even 400
they could pay each of those employees ten thousand dollars a month for the next twenty years and it wouldn't equal ONE billion dollars
and that isn't counting profit for those stakeholders over those twenty years or counting the 9 other stakeholders in the team
The epitome of greed right there.
Josh Harris and Scott O'Neil can get farged
I'll give O'Neil credit in that he came and pretty loudly said they farged up big
is there a bigger water carrier for anything than you for the sixers
this includes me for tv ratings
I despise their front office but show me a corporation who has had that forceful of an apologetic blame taking after something like that and immediately
the fact that the thought entered their ghoulish brains tells you everything you need to know about them
its not dan snyder but its close
I understand you are entrenched in hot take fake outrage culture but not everything has to be the best or worst...try bringing some nuance into things...you will live a much happier life

whats the nuance in some rich icehole screwing over working people to try to save a few pennies. then releasing some bullshtein whoopsie statement.
your real character shows during times like this and the real character of the owner of the sixers is to be a bottomless, soulless pit of money. maybe he should buy an nfl team or work for the ncaa.
He can't afford an NFL team if he has to keep paying these freeloaders.
jojo not getting enough credit for this. his 500K donation statement was a huge FU to josh harris. baller move. been a rough few months in my head but i'm back to loving him.
watched sixers lakers 2001 game 1 last night on zoom with some buddies. was actually really fun. my god AI carried bunch of scrubs (and dikembe). probably had not seen it in ten years.
ty lue really clamped AI down for about 10-15 min. prior to the stepover shot.
shaq made dikembe, the DPOY, look helpless.
matt geiger was their second best offensive player of the game.
Was that really 19 years ago?

just watched it last night...made me love that team all over again. peak ai...eric snow hitting clutch shots, raja bell chipping in...lots of heart on that team.
whats crazy is jumaine jones started that game not snow
yeah. also something i did not remember is that even though raja bell was really important during those playoffs, he wasn't signed until the last few games of the season and only played 6 regular season minutes.

i think snow was playing with a fractured ankle...maybe that was why ???
yeah pretty sure he was just coming back from injury, as you could tell by his multiple off balance one foot shots. although one of those was clutch near the end.
he played over 35 minutes and wasnt starting games before he got hurt...i only remember it in the finals but i guess it was larry brown just wanting him in with the second unit since their depth was non existent
I had a thought this morning that should the NBA somehow finish this season, it will definitely be the biggest asterisk in history next to the champ, therefore I think the sixers will take it this year, then continue to disappoint when things get back to normal.
Back to 2001 Finals, I was in LA for games 1 & 2, almost went to game 2. Had a chance for 3 tickets behind the basket @ $2500 each. wife basically said "dream on" plus we had our 5 year old son at the time. Wasn't worth a $2,500 ticket to go to a game he'd barely remember and he'd be more into walking around The Staples Center and checking out all the sights and sounds over sitting in a seat for 3 hours. Disneyland wins again.
If I recall the Sixers were in game 2. Down by a point or two at half? Lakers pulled away in the third and Sixers couldn't get closer in the 4th. Best part was as the game was winding down AI and Kobe started talking shtein to each other.
Game 3, farg! Shaq fouled out late in the game with Sixers down by 2, you could just feel the momentum swing Sixers way but they couldn't shtein. That was the nail.
So true Matty, that team was a bunch of scrubs. AI was just, he was just GOD. To do what he did in the Bucks series and Finals is nothing short of remarkable. The guy was broken down and playing injured yet he still carried the team on his shoulders. So glad I was able to witness that. That whole playoff run was magical.
kawhi shot was one year ago today. still gives me nightmares.

youre both right
g6 was on tape delay everywhere except philly, la, and some other west coast markets. cbs didnt want to pre-empt a rerun of the dukes of hazard. no joke.
also, game 1 was joined in progress...so the first 5 or so minutes weren't shown on tv. :-D

In all seriousness, if I weren't a Ben Simmons fan before, I am now.
Wow.
I couldn't agree more. Sometimes anger and outrage are needed to smash through a long standing status quo. That can bring about reform, but true people of peace are needed, and sooner rather than later, to bring about healing.
Thanks for sharing Romey. Good shtein.
seems like the thunder schedule matters more than the sixers during these 8 games. would be amazing to snag that thunder pick.
It's AI day on NBA tv. They're playing his best games, showing highlight countdowns, playing the Answer. All day
nbc sports philly aired kobe's last game in philly over the weekend. what a mess. sixers entered the game 0-18 with canaan-ball, jahil, & jakaar sampson in the starting lineup. lakers were't much better at 2-14.
anyway, kobe shot something like 7 for 26 & the sixers picked up their 1st win of the season behind roco's 23 points...and i watched way more of it than i should have.
thad young is currently 31.
I would have guessed 48 or so.

Makes sense but that front court is a logjam
al coming off the bench helps a bit. it will be interesting to see how much brett shortens the bench in the playoffs. gotta figure horford & burks will be in the rotation. after them, who knows. you have korkmaz, scott, thybulle, & grIII but i wouldn't want any of them getting many real minutes.
brett said they plan on getting embiid 38 per game which sounds ridiculously high for someone who breaks down like him. even with this short schedule.
korkmaz was not the dumpster fire on defense as in past years and they really could use his shooting off the bench. and matisse needs to get min just because of his D.
rest of the bench is trash and just rest time for the top 7-8.
i still only put this at 60-70% happening but i've been impressed with how the nba is doing it. if you haven't seen matisse's youtube documentary, it's really good and takes me back to how much i love these guys.

I have never been this excited for a practice game.
Uh oh Ben parked in the corner and took a three. It's finally happening.
Process Interrupted: Embiid out for "right calf tightness." Glad he's in such good shape.
Matisse taking it hard to the rim so often makes me happy. This new found fame has upped his game. He's had 3-4 power yams in the last 2 games.
After the heck of a start, the Sixers decided to take a nap.

Boooooooo
dude is hitting shots from 35 feet
not sure why at any point did BB put thybulle on him
wow I thought Sixers would make quarantine less depressing.
checked all the boxes - ben not shooting, opponent having a career night, Jojo getting diarrhea, no spacing
they had 4 months to come up with a better game plan and they looked exactly the same. Brett sucks. or the guys are really dumb, or could be both.
I dunno if the team is just irrevocably broken with its construction or BB is just not good, but it's time to find out if it's the latter. I suspect it's just the team composition but you need to pull the plug on Brett, as much as I like him.
BB is fine...not a HOF coach or anything but easily good enough to win a championship...the construction of the roster is the problem...the lack of talent and athleticism at the guard/wing positions is appalling...elton brand was a tragic hire at the time and is even worse now
that said ill repeat...warren had 16 in the 1q and 29 at half and matisse played 11 minutes...thats inexcusable on BB part

...warren had 16 in the 1q and 29 at half and matisse played 11 minutes...thats inexcusable on BB part
he's not fine. he thinks starting shake and bringing al off the bench is a career saving move. I thought they should have started the year with a new coach and this season is so dumb anyway, just get rid of him now and start the fake playoffs with someone new, who cares.
but you're also not wrong the construction is dumb as farg too - both things are correct.
BB is maybe 5% of the problem....elton is 80 and the owner is 15
Brett is going to have to go.
I'm sick of the goddamn hype about how Ben is gonna shoot more. And then he doesn't.
i dont have any problem with a change but i got a little secret for you....a new coach isnt going to teach ben how to shoot
makes no farging sense. dude is probably a better shooter than half of the players who jack up 6 threes a game. same thing has happened every preseason, all these slick videos of his nailing 5 in a row, first game he takes a few, then nothing.
I was so jacked watching him sit in the corner last week, and guys were looking for him. why change it all up for the "real" games.
him going 0-4 every game is still better for the team than taking none. a good coach should be able to make sure that happens.
Brett seems like a great guy but it's time for an X's and O's guy and not a players coach.
forget threes he cant make a shot from ten feet...something like 85% of every basket hes ever made in the nba is from inside four feet...he made ONE three pointer in college
he cant shoot he wont shoot....shtein he can barely shoot 60% from the line
this is from brett brown last year after trying to get him to shoot since he came into the league:
This is what I want, OK — you can pass this along to his agent, his family and his friends and to him — I want a three-point shot a game, minimum. The pull-up twos, I'm fine with whenever he's open but I'm interested in the three-point shot. And the mentality that he has where he's turning corners and taking that long step, that gather step and bringing his shoulders to the rim and trying to dunk or finish tight, will equal higher efficiency or getting fouled. That's the world that interests me the most — those two things.
hes not gonna do it...not because hes insubordinate but because he knows he cant and is embarrassed by it...im fine with BB criticism but its laughable to blame him for not being able to get a grown ass man to shoot threes...he can only tell him to do it...i suppose he could bench him but that just isnt a realistic scenario
al horford was a -26 in 23 minutes
not sure how that efficiency rating comes out but pretty sure its farging terrible
Horford is a bum
And I know Brett can't make Ben alter his ridiculous shot selection but maybe someone else can.
Next time someone pimps a practice vid of him shooting beyond the elbow they deserve a kick in the balls
wait you think Ben wants to start jacking up threes but is waiting for the right person to ask him to do it?
Save your threes for marriage, kids.

i've never been so disgusted with two wins in a row.
only positive right now is jojo looks amazing. more poised, less sloppy TOs / dumb passes, passing it out of double teams at the right time, just doing everything right.
Jo's on a different level. The rest of the team is still rusty/are garbage, there's zero chemistry, a really odd mix of players and Browns lineups leave a lot to be desired. Probably one and done.

what a sad starting lineup today. and they actually look better somehow without their 4 best players.

They traded a late lottery pick to move up two spots and recouped a pick in the 20's. As far as trades and outcomes that's not terrible. Of course Fultz is a mess and Tatum is a good player but trade wise I'm looking glass half full.
there no way to spin that trade as anything but the glass is full...
fully shattered
fultz pick was supposed to be the third piece to jo jo and ben to complete the process and be playing for a nba title about now...the trickle down for that trade is painful as well...you dont need to trade for or sign tobias if you have that third piece...id say horford as well but that dumb farg brand probably would have signed him anyway
they traded:
#1 in 2017
#14 in 2019
for
#25ish in 2020
#31 in 2020
Colangelo can get farged
so sad that a low first round pick gives me more hope than watching them play the celtics.

Raul Neto impersonating an actual NBA player tonight.
I can't pick the Sixers to not win tonight.
I really hope they make it a good series. I'm not holding my breath but if they can have Dominant Jojo and not have Horford shtein all over himself maybe they'll have a shot.
I'm torn because Ben Simmons on the fast break and passing and dunking is my favorite player to watch.
Granted the last few bubble games were pretty much exhibition but man the offense runs better without him standing around the half court doing nothing.
It's taken me longer than most but if this team runs better without him, I'm behind a trade for Ben. Especially if they somehow win this series.
Agreed.
If they can make it work without him I'd see what he can get. I don't have much confidence in him ever developing the jump shooting part of the game.
short of jo jo losing his mind and going off for a 40/20 series sixers have no chance
what they will miss about Ben is his defense... it's borderline elite and will be sorely missed against Kemba and their wings any of which Ben can switch to...to this point thybulle is going to have to be huge defensively cause no one else in the team is even an above average perimeter defender
gonna be fun watching brad stevens okie doke brett one last time
Ok first quarter
Too many turnovers though. And a lot of standing at the arc
they have no idea how to run a play. or dribble.
they still win tonight.
josh richardson isnt very good at basketball
Tatum can't miss
Horford can't play basketball
Muted and on the small tv. For the Democratic Convention.
That's how far the 76ers have fallen this year.
just get swept and move on from brett
sixers losing the TO battle 16-5 jo has two more FG than turnovers and they are up 4 after three
wtf
Helluva run to close the 3rd
KEEP IT UP
Of course.
C's won't miss now and the Sixers can't find a good shot
just end this so i can put on the dnc
I for one am shocked that when it comes to running a productive offense in the fourth quarter we find ourselves here.
this is about as well as the sixers can play against them and they still might lose by double digits
Celtics have a lot of really good players and almost all of them are better than every sixer
Jo can't get off the floor he's so tired
they actually didn't get across halfcourt in time there but that's not going to be called in that situation.
I don't remember Tatum complaining after every single play in the past, must be new this year.

Embarrassing.
the team showed no heart last night. that's usually the way a team looks right before the coach gets fired. we'll see.
just hope they don't use the ben injury and/or the shortened offseason as an excuse to not make any major changes.
problem is they cant make any changes unless you trade ben or jo because horford and tobias are immovable...and as much of a problem i have with bens game if you trade him you probably arent going to get equal value
because of what elton brand has done they are basically stuck in quiksand for the foreseeale future
really all they can try and do is purge the roster outside of those four guys and fill it with as many low to mid cost pure shooters and/or 3 and d guys as possible
coaching change would be a start. agreed on horford & harris. they'd have to give up that okc pick and/or young talent like mattise to get a team to take on those contracts.

Horford has two years left on his deal, after next season he becomes an expiring contract which holds significant value (half glass full hope).
I thought he had three years left?
horford is signed for three more years but his last year salary is slashed about in half
doesnt really matter who is coming off and when tho because ben jo and tobias are all on bird exemptions
they could hire a pat riley greg popovich cyborg in the offseason and its not going to matter as this is a completely broken roster

wtf is horford starting
really why is he ever playing with jo...there's not a lot to work with with this line up but the I've thing you can do is make horford a back up center and keep those two away from each other as much as possible
Kemba/Tatum/Brown
All of them drain threes like no big deal. Someone defend the arc for fargs sake
they have two perimeter defenders and one is out for the year...Celtics have four great perimeter players aand one is out for the year

Can't wait to see what Brand has in store for the offseason
He cant do shtein cause of him.
ben and horford for ____
hire a real gm first
Order should be
1. Brett (immediately)
2. The whole medical staff (they've taken years off of this team - putting Tobi back in during a blowout when he just smashed his head open is just the latest example. 100% chance he has a bad concussion today)
3. Elton Brand and all of the Colangelo holdovers - need to blow it up and start from scratch. Eversly, Cohen etc. - all need to go.
We're stuck with the players - not ideal but get some more pure shooters (if only they could get players like JJ or Shamet or Roco) and they can still be a good team.
To think people were considering this a possible all time defensive team in the preseason lol. what a bunch of dogs the last few weeks.

Josh Harris probably doesn't know Lue played for LA and that AI dragged his nutsack on his head.
QuoteLue's style was described as undisciplined and unprepared in the regular season, but in the playoffs, he has been praised for his ability to "think several moves ahead and create matchup advantage
this is his wiki page which im sure his agent can edit
just throw the key to the vault to jay and be done with it

A lot of things have me feeling old lately, but realizing it's time to talk about new sports arenas and stadiums is surprisingly tough to handle.

Great timing for them to announce this.
Morons
they want to move to nj the question is it camden or harris' arena in newark
im not sure if the league will let them move there. knicks and nets do not want another team in the market and the league doesnt want the 4th biggest market losing its team so this can become the 3rd team in another market. but obviously that is want harris wants.
the practice facility deal was struck with christie. nj will have a D gov going forward. im not sure if there is going to be an appetite anywhere to get a publicly funded arena. but if these hedge fund ghouls want to take the sixers to newark they can, just leave the history and colors and name here and give the city an expansion team. then we can be done with josh harris forever and thank god.
Wrong thread
Harris is a jerkoff
And I hope the days of sports stadiums getting built on taxpayer dime are over
I'm thinking 80% chance of staying in Philly, 20% chance of going to Camden, 0% chance of going to Newark.
Also thinking it's about 80% the public pays for a big % of any new arena. Not because Harris himself has the pull, but because a lot of beaks can get wet off a megaproject like that.
im not certain but believe there would have to be some kind of city council approval to do this
there is not a much more corrupt entity than philadelphia city council but i just dont see them approving public funds for an unnecessary arena for the basketball team everyones pissed at
camden makes more sense since theyd be stealing the team away and might be desperate to do so. comcast runs the city, owns the WFC and that is going to be the city's preferred outcome - keeping the sixers paying rent there
they are talking about them possibly not moving until the 2030's so i dont think the temperature of the teams fans or city council right now means a whole lot
having separate arena's for a cities hockey and basketball teams is a bad look in any year tho
trying to think of cities that do it
miami...minneapolis...bay area (doesnt count really). i think thats it.
the temperature matters now because if they want to do it in 2030 the planning and such needs to happen over the course of the next few years. the reaction has been 1000% go farg yourself josh harris, as it should, so im not sure if local or state pols are gonna be eager to give them $$
years are an eternity when it comes to this stuff shtein six months is
i dont think 1) the sixers are getting better anytime soon and 2) people are going to warm to the idea of giving handouts to billionaires, especially detestable ones likes josh harris
Tie it to enough other shtein that big city liberal politicians want (make it the centerpiece of some big redevelopment that throws bones at construction unions, urban planners, transit, green energy, minority groups, affordable housing, etc.) and I guarantee numerous yes votes will materialize.
shtein like that tends to get through the back doors of the political system even when the populace at large loudly votes no.
im not saying it cant happen and lord knows philly city council is so deep in corruption its built into the foundation of the building, but theres been a serious shift in public sentiment toward building stadiums for rich snobs in democratic areas.
philly already has a plan in place for revitalization of the waterfront (basically building a park over 95 from like market to chestnut). theres plenty of open space down there but a basketball specific arena does not really fit into what theyre going for and whats needed
honestly none of that matters...you said it yourself...govt is corrupt...
grease enough hands and its done...the people supposedly against it now will be all for it because josh harris will be investing in the area not just the stadium...building up retail creating jobs and also oh yeah! hes going to pay for a waterfront park
All those retail spaces will be awesome when the bill for Trump's bank job comes due and the country is in a full-blown economic collapse.
Jason Kidd. Book it.
John Lucas wants the job too
keith pompay is an absolute turd of a reporter
i want the job but hes not tweeting that out....farging john lucas is 66 and hasnt been on the bench in 10 years.

theres been a week of speculation and now heres the statement
he would be a garbage nba coach anyway...gotta give him credit for knowing it though
id rather them hire dawn staley than ty lue
Yeah id rather you coach than Ty Lue
how fun will it be in 2 years when embiid and simmons are both on other teams and we still have tobias and horford?
steve nash just got the brooklyn job....so you're all getting ty lue.
wow i had no idea nash was on the market. who knows if he'll be a good coach but he he definitely will.
nets get nash sixers get lue sounds about right.
what's going to happen in that they will "hire" Udoka. then nothing in the front office will change.
and they lose in the first round next two years. then ben and jo leave.
the end.

I didn't either but as soon as I heard it this morning my first impression was that he's going to be a really good coach.
jamal murray was the 7th pick and jokic was the 41st
nuggets have advanced further and done more than the sixers in a tougher conference without tanking for 100 years and glorifying a pouting loser who cant shoot and a fat goofball who cares about instagram followers more than anything
farg you and farg hinkie you process trusting dorks
:yay :yay :yay
Every time I see Jayson Tatum i cry a little bit.
the celtics make me sick and lebron is going to have his easiest ring ever this year.
but i also wouldn't mind jimmy winning as a giant farg you to the sixers.
I'm all in on a Heat Nuggets final.
Every time I watch the Celtics I hate them more.
yeah. f boston...again and again.
on the sixers, there's a guy with "connections" on realgm saying that harris wants d'antoni but the front office (brand) wants lue. nice to see them on the same page, as usual. and if it winds up being d'antoni, there's a greater chance of major roster moves possibly even including embiid being traded.
i'm sure they'll make the worst possible decisions. we still have mo's fo-fo-fo...but 1983 was a long ass time ago.
the fact that the entire front office is still intact is infuriating. I was fine with getting rid of Brett like two years ago, but he was not the cause of all of this.
I'm not going to be happy or sad with a new coach because this group will not work. if I had to pick one I guess it's Dantoni.
I keep seeing buddy heild chatter, if they can get him and get rid of Horford's contract that's a small start.
yeah, at least d'antoni might be interesting. i didn't realize until yesterday that mda is 69 years old...pop is the only head coach older than him.

I'd prefer D'Antoni plus this
Roster is a mess
Yeah Buddy added and Horford sent to the moon would be a nice start.
Josh Harris is a bum. I cannot stand that guy. They have farged up a good thing and it began with running Hinkie out and hiring Colangelo.
Adam Silver deserves some of the blame for forcing the Colangelos on them. People say he's a great commish, but he hasn't been great for the Sixers.
^^ truth.
I heard some story recently that he so universally liked for the most part, that the only time he gets heckled is by Sixers fans and he gets all tensed up and doesn't ever know how to respond.
nba drama queens pumping out harden rumors because of d'antoni
thats exactly what the sixers need. another stat humping loser obsessed with his image.
how would that possibly work but if there's one team that has room for 25 shots a game it's the Sixers.
I didn't know he and Dantoni were like that.
Yeah I had all the guys at work talking about this today.
What would they give up for him? Ben?
i would trade ben for 1 piece of lumbar but not 2
Got a bad back do ya?
sounds ridiculous but if you get Dantoni and harden you keep ben.
Sixers have unfortunately always treated ben better than Jojo anyway so maybe it's not a pipe dream.
If it ever did happen, Darryl Morey would farg Elton so hard that the Sixers are screwed for a decade.
rumor sounds dumb even for twitter
Quote from: phattymatty on September 24, 2020, 09:07:56 PM
sounds ridiculous but if you get Dantoni and harden you keep ben.
thats because it is ridiculous...ben becomes completely worthless on offense without the ball and harden cant play off guard...also ben is at his best in a fast pace open court game....harden is a half court pound the ball into the floor for 15 seconds and shoot guy
the whole idea of getting harden is one of the most philly sports things ever...get a former superstar who is just about to fall off the cliff...it kinda reminds me of the flyers getting forsberg the 2nd time...at least he was free tho

I do think he gets overrated a bit and he's blown 3-1 leads. However I think he'd be good for Jojo and Ben. I don't want DAntoni because of his system and I'm not a fan of Lue.
Billy Donovan was one I'd have liked to see. Maybe even Kenny Atkinson. But now that Doc is out there they need to bring him in.

yeah I'd pick him out of those three also - I'm just not excited about a new coach at all I guess.
John Wooden rising from the dead with Lew Alcindor, Jamaal Wilkes, Henry Bibby, Bill Walton, Marques Johnson in their prime at his side wouldn't excite me. They'll screw this up to.
I trusted, I got processed, I got slapped like a cheap whore.

looks like doc
really hope he scoops up some x's and o's dork from college to install a new offense and change it up. otherwise this is gonna same shtein different coach

They're farging awesome. And the TTP Easter egg only makes them better.
That's amazing. If there's something about Eric Jr. hidden in there too let me know.

But it will be effective.
It's happening.

after extensive YouTube analysis, my choice at 21 tomorrow is Desmond Bane.
With the way this year has been I haven't paid attention to anything draft related.
I just hope they get a damn shooter.
I think they go shooter for sure. TTP. Until the new season comes and the new brain trust dashes our hopes all over again.

Source: There is a growing belief in the Sixers FO that they won't be able to land James Harden without including Ben Simmons.
But i'm told that Daryl Morey is working on something else significant and it would allow the Sixers to keep Ben and Joel.
Harden's irrelevant in this tweet but I hope they can pull something off preferably getting rid of Horford in the process.
forget horford....tobias is the all time anchor...morey needs to decide who he deems more valuable ben or jo...ill trust him to make the right decision and then trade the other one in a deal where they can attach tobias.....if thats even possible since he might hold the leagues most untradeable contract

QuoteThe Sixers are sending a lightly-protected 2025 first-round pick and the 34th overall pick in tonight's draft, sources tell ESPN. The Thunder are also sending Terrance Ferguson to the Sixers with Green.
Good.
Green is a FA after the season and they save a bunch of money. Horford was a bum.
great deal, if they have a good draft pick in 2025 it means none of this worked anyway.
they get Ferguson in the deal too who I've always liked. he'll fit in nice.
sam presti hoarding 1st round picks while sam hinkie hoarded 2nd round picks
guess which one wasnt bum rushed out the league
I think that makes 18 first round picks from now until 2026.
its a good bet for the thunder...embiid might be dead by 2025 and ben will still be incapable of shooting
i think that might be bronny james' year
another guy who cant shoot
great
I'd be lying if I said I knew a whole lot about him.

Not bad. He's "the other brother" that PHL seems to be famous for with its teams but he doesn't suck. He's a shooter.
Next up: Mike Maddux!
we can debate Moreys moves and how effective they will end up being but it's absolutely farging outrageous the Sixers went with Elton brand as gm for two years of jo and bens youth
and just imagine if they had a real gm thruout the whole process instead of pos brand and the nba's version of the Trump family

Kind of an understatement. He's second all time in 3-point %.
We'll see which individual moves pan out and which don't but I thought the night was good overall for beginning to turn the roster into something that makes cohesive sense. Still kind of nibbling around the edges but I like the direction.
yeah josh stunk last year and curry can shoot. all in all an amazing day for the Sixers yesterday.

I'm not a fan of his style and he blows in the playoffs.
If this happens is Ben gone?
i hate ben but trading for old ass harden who cares only about stats and his sportscenter highlights and is dumb
i covered james harden in college and im older than everyone in the nba
I'm not opposed to dealing Ben. Unless somehow Doc convinces him to actually shoot.
But I don't want Harden.
furkan looking like a thicc boi this year. shot still pretty though.
as long as Dwight acts semi normal and doesn't bang anyone's wife he's going to be a great add.
Maxey's not terrible
so nice to see them running plays, setting screens etc instead of running around in circles completely clueless. amazing what a real head coach will do.

Elton brand by far...possibly the worst gm in city history
Tobias should not even be an nba starter. he was terrible at literally every aspect of basketball last night.
New team, same Westbrook. Triple double, loses game.
Think you have to consider the Sixers the worst drafters in town. In football and baseball, just about every team misses with most picks, so while the Eagles and Phillies have a lot of drafting blunders, they don't stand out so much in that regard. Sixers had a lot of bites of the apple near the very top of the draft, and the most they could get from it are two stars who are still trying to figure out how to play together.
im not sure ben can play with anyone...or maybe he can play with everyone but his ceiling is really low cause he cant shoot or dribble drive
i cant really find words to express how happy i was to see a guy up top last night running the last 5 offense who can shoot AND dribble

Noooooooo
Wouldn't give up Ben for Harden but if they did the 3 year ride might be worth it. I know Hardens a prima Donna and disappears in the playoffs but he's a fit for what they need and they're more likely to make the finals than they are with Ben. He takes good care of himself and will probably my be a top player for another half decade. Just feel like they're spinning wheels in the mud as a 4/5 seed in the east unless there's a major change
This is interesting

ben is garbage but hes worth more than harden
thank god they got a real coach
is toronto even good
eh
still for the sixers this qualifies as a good win
Great coaching down the stretch
Way to pull one out.
What's up with Matisse not getting much run?
he still could be an all nba defense guy his instincts are that good, he has just regressed so much on offense.
even tonight on the rare occasions when he had the ball he got like all nervous to pass right away.
they didn't play great tonight so nice win I guess.
matisse sucks
I take it all back ben will definitely start shooting now. championship.

even matisse looked confident tonight.
Turned the game on and it was 70-32
Fooled me into thinking I was already wasted bc I had to double check online that nbatv didn't have it wrong
amazing how having several shooters on the court changes literally everything.
why is Elton brand even still around. only been a few games but it's already hard proof of how he wasted two years.

They suck tonight.
Losing to the B team
classic schedule loss on a b2b...they had nothing and they wouldve lost to literally any nba team
move along
Nets were rockin the Drazen Petrovic jawns tonight
Also Kyrie is doing his weird shtein where he just doesn't show up
I myself am still struggling with the fact the earth is round and dinosaurs. Need a day off now and then to process.
Lolol Don
In other news Curry tested positive and now the team is in quarantine in nyc
knew that was going to be a fat L once I heard no Kyrie. I guess Doc can't even outcoach this long standing Sixers tradition.
playing todays game is a prime example of why i dont watch covid sports...its all a joke
Maxey going to have 40 points today. I'm excited.
sorry I was mistaken, he's on pace for 44.
Terrible prediction skills, he only got 39.
2 weeks of the prettiest Sixers basketball in years to 3 summer league games in a row just like that.
Maxey is a stud
Embiid carried that team tonight.
out of all the covid sports abortions this game had to be the biggest one
Please no. Nobody wants Fat Harden

I have a bad feeling its happening today.
Yeah me too.
Everyone here is all fired up. And the Rockets told him to not even show up to practice.
i hate ben but harden is a cancer
He's a bum. He farging sucks in the playoffs. And all he wants to do is stand on the arc and shoot. Or try to flail and draw a foul
Please no Maxey
to the nets....phew
my heart says yes because I love our babies but man the nets gonna be tough to beat.
hopefully Kyrie and harden drama burn that team to the ground.
Kyrie is batshtein crazy. GOP level crazy.
Huge sigh of relief that he's not coming here
great no-trade
Would have drained a lot of the fun out of the team. Also felt like something that had a million ways of going wrong and only one way of going right.
Nice haul for the Rockets
Rockets: Victor Oladipo, Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, 3 BKN first-rounders (22, 24, 26), 1 MIL first (22, unprotected), 4 BKN 1st round swaps (21, 23, 25, 27)
Nets: James Harden
Pacers: Caris LeVert, 2nd-rounder

my heart says yes because I love our babies but man the nets gonna be tough to beat.
hopefully Kyrie and harden drama burn that team to the ground.
i just see no way this works for them
durant is a moody front runner...kyrie is basically a q fan...harden is fat loser
From guy with sources on realgm
QuoteJust heard from source. Houston asked Sixers for the at least 3 unprotected firsts, 3 pick swaps, Simmons, Maxey and Thybulle.
Crisis averted.
That's brutal. Glad they didn't do that shtein
honestly I think I'd rather have Maxey long term than Ben. he is going to be really good.
Ben has quit less than 15 games into the season
I'm not able to see it tonight - what's his issue
his body language is so bad...he's looked uninterested all year but 1Q tonite was the worst I've seen...he looked better 2Q so maybe some of it was the harden hangover
mr i have quit sports was never gonna miss a game from his precious wittle sixers was he
If you watch it through two mirrors it doesn't count.
ben farged around and got a triple double but I just wish he smiled more.
/s
Why did Ben pass off the final shot. Frustrating.
Apparently another exposure case? This time the 76ers were postponed.
Dominant Jojo tonight.
Great game by him.
And farg Marcus Smart
Harris will never live up to his contract but at least he's playing at a decent level
Needed him bc Simmons was a ghost
oh the guy who theyre trying to trade has checked out? unreal
he checked out before he got in the league
Solid win even without Tatum playing. Jo dominates Boston
Emo Ben Simmons with another "I don't give a farg" when questioned about his scoring
Don't watch interviews or pc but his scoring wasn't an issue tonight. He had a small stretch where Boston couldn't stop him.
It's year four. Probably time to stop obsessing over Ben's PPG. He is what he is.
I don't think any of them really matter but if Sixers win this and it's a huge if I think it's more impressive than either Celtic win...they went balls out with everything they had against a Boston team who was missing their best player and probably the best player on either team and barely won
this game was a loss in most of the last three years
they're only a dozen games in and have had several "they don't usually win these" wins. this team is good.
good enough to make the playoffs for sure
im feeling a very disappointing 2nd round loss to the celtics coming

It's possible but this team is much better than last season. Jo has raised his level of play, Harris is playing at an almost all star level, they finally have outside shooters, they're defensively sound and better coached. Celtics have no answer for Jo he just dominates them.

Doc on Tobi's improvement
Quote"We stay on him," Rivers said. "Same thing in L.A. Just quick decisions. If you catch it, shoot it. If you catch it, drive it. If you dribble it, pass it. It's pretty simple for him and when he stays in that formula, he's unbelievable. He's a train going downhill. He's got a beautiful shot. It's when he hesitates and guys get in tune is when he gets himself in trouble
No Embiid = No bueno
what is the point of ben if hes not good enough on his own to beat a rancid team like detroit
i wont even blame ben about this....when he was on the court last night they were minus 2...thing was he only played 20 minutes cause of foul trouble
the larger problem is morey built a team specifically to play around jo jo...but its so specific to complimenting him that its not competitive without him...they are 0-3 with nojo with blowouts to cleveland and detroit...tiny sample size but so far its been ugly
they need to play more b-ball Paul when jo is out.
and we've all been complaining about the need to build around jo for years, now they did and people are mad?
first true test of the season tonight. ben going to go off.
legit pumped to watch this one tonight...first game of the season with some real juice
embiid goes to the bench Sixers can't score...lebron goes to the bench lakers play the Sixers even

It's not a 1 man issue. They're horrible at getting open on a press or clutch inbound passes. They used to run a play with Redick designed for him to slip open...now they just bunch in an area flat foot.
you want to expand it out....they have no ballhandlers period...you cant pass your way out of full court pressure...the defense wants you to pass the ball
all this is the same reason they turn the ball over a ton
i mean it sounds like you have an issue with the coach running an out of bounds play more than than the team not being able to beat pressure
end of the game nonsense was all Danny green brain farts.

They had the same issue last year so hard to blame the coach but Ben shouldn't be the primary inbound pass and half the issue could be resolved with players moving before the defense can set. You're on ball handling and passing I'm on step 1 getting the bell to an open player
another problem is they are soooooo slow...they dont have any quick twitch guys who can get open real easily
they score on offense almost exclusively on size mismatches...its almost never speed or quickness

Great win. Almost down a remote, but a great win.

great win and fun fun game. they were soundly beaten for 3 qtrs then bucked up. good shtein.
Masterpiece game by Embiid. Loved getting in their heads too. Legend has it that Bitchell is still whining.

If it's Green/Maxey and a pick sure. I think Toronto wants a lot more and Lowry wants $30 million a year so it's a rental. Im onboard with going for it now...Jo ain't getting any younger.

wouldnt get it done money wise
it would have to be something like green/scott/bradley and thybulle or maxey
or they could get a third team involved and use their exemption to be able to take back more money from toronto...in other words it wouldnt be a 4 for 1
i dont think it matters anyway unless lowry says he only wants to go to philly cause its home....because if there is a bidding competition for him at the deadline the sixers are not winning it
nba chatter seems to say that Lowry has specifically requested philly. seems like the type of guy who might want to spend his last years at home. I can't stand watching him flop, and he and jojo flopping together will be hard to watch sometimes, but they should still get him.
I'd love to keep matisse, I still think he's an all nba defense guy at some point. maxey and that sweet floater can go.
also TJ had 9 steals in half last night. an all process lineup of TJ - Roco - Grant - Wood - xxx would probably be a playoff team.
Vucevic would be the last guy. He might even be pre-process though.

of course, but mike scott and whatever other crap needs to be thrown in to make it work arent worthy of being mentioned. its essentially green and maxey for lowry. then you add someone on the buyout market.
im unwilling to consider mattisse as a possibility even though yes of course he is
Korkmaz ate his Wheaties tonight or something? ???
Matisse is Brands best move by a long shot. He needs to get more pt over Green. He gets better every game.
Thought for sure Levine would go off for 40 last night. The Bulls are trash but that was nice seeing the other guys step up.
What has happened to Maxey though, he was very impressive over the first few weeks, now nothing.
shtein. That didn't look good for Embiid. Completely hyperextended.
Fingers crossed but he often gets those weird injuries that look bad but he's fine.
best case scenario is its a 2-4 week injury and he can ramp back up for the playoffs, though mvp is gone
worst case is the franchise folds
QuoteUpdate: Woj is now saying that the Sixers are calling Embiid's injury a "hyper-extended knee" which is good news in the short-term.
Update: Well this isn't good. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting Embiid will undergo an MRI on his left knee after leaving Thursday's game.
RIP Jojo and the season.

crazy how you can get a bone bruise by your knee hitting itself??
you'd think the bone would have to have contact with something to cause the bruise
Yeah it is. I've had a few of them over the years. Some are minor but others can feel like your leg is falling off.
sucks that he is going to miss the west coast swing against la's and jokic but good in the sense that his knee still works and the team doesnt need to commit ritualistic suicide

Good observation IGY on Draymond, he looked about as engaged as a polar bear in Death Valley in July.

it's not even the game it's that pos
Embiid may as well have stayed home tonight.
I give it a high chance that they do the almost impossible and lose the first seed. what a way to end the season.

Pacers or Wiz preference?
If Beal is significantly affected by his hammy its closer but in general Indiana by a million
bullets were one of the better teams in the nba the last quarter of the season and can actually beat the Sixers with a healthy Beal...Sixers would prob sweep Indy
Ben on Beal is interesting different from regular season
working tho ....he's touched the ball twice and is 0-1
they are only allowed 11k in the building but there is basically no social distancing...just not selling seats in certain sections
makes sense
They've bricked a floater for every empty seat
yea their threes are terrible but they are like 1-7 on floaters
Calls against Jo are a farging joke
I'm the last ref person in the world but man have they been bad
this series probably going seven without them....bullets don't need help

I was at my daughters soccer game so had to listen to the 1st quarter on radio but the radio guys were livid with the calls. His 3rd foul was an atrocious call.
I don't know why doc didn't challenge that one...what's more valuable than having a league mvp on the court for more minutes
it was a completely phantom call
they woke the farg up
W
biking home and randomly thought how insane it is the sixers have a 6'10 all world ball handler/defender that they have to play keep away from at the end of games because he cannot shoot free throws
^^ :yay :yay :yay^^
so sick and tired of having to expose him to all my buddies. "Oh you got Ben Simmons! Simmons is amazing! Why are you so worried you got Simmons!" That's the problem.
The fact Ben still can't hit FTs is embarrassing
Free throws?
he can't hit any shots outside the half circle

actually a pretty nice little interview. farg Westbrook.
Assuming Jo stays out of foul trouble tonight should be a goddamned bloodbath. /jinxedit
bullet announcer just said "this first possession is huge"
I can't believe I pay for league pass, also get NBA TV, and still have to listen to these wizards guys .
Kutcher is whatever drew gooden is insufferable
Ben has bricked an uncontested three footer and air balled a layup so far
and he made the other 6 FGs. what a bum.

he actually is a really bad post season offensive player...not a great regular season one either but in real nba postseason play he's basically unplayable on the offensive end
The wiz don't matchup talent wise but I don't doubt their heart they come to play
I actually think it's a good sign that ben came out aggressive not afraid to brick some. in the past after a terrible shooting game he would not shoot again for a week.

there are tix for Monday game 4 for less than $60. prob even go less once they lose this game.
the bullets have the most non existent fan base in sports. literally they did a study about it and a fewer % of people in the market care about them than any other team
yeah dc is a transient city. skins and caps have hardcore fans but they all live in VA and southern MD. but those the type of people who "don't like basketball."
shake legit sucks at basketball
I really do despise watching shake play this year.
Almost everything out of drew goodens mouth is straight garbage...like not just normal idiocy that can be argued but objectively incorrect...it's amazing
I had no idea this was drew gooden.
Fuuuuck
That's not good.
Doc being in a "lets end covid" campaign is great because he's been wearing his mask on his neck or chin since October.
this could be the most boring Philadelphia postseason series I've ever watched
Guess Harris is OK.
sweet ass drop by Ben
T on Jojo for being too sensual.

they've done this play prob 3-4 times game recently and I've yet to see it not work other than tobi clonking one or two.
I knew this would be a sweep but this is embarrassing.
Remember midway through the season everyone hated Danny Green? Mvp down the stretch and so far in the playoffs.
This forum really slows down when things are going well for a Philly team.
I'm too young to remember the Moses/Dr. J days. This is the best Sixers team I've ever seen. Kind of a low bar because the organization has been a wreck in general, and I don't expect them to cruise through the rest of the playoffs, but I'm enjoying what we have here.
it could be tied 3-3 and this series still couldn't be less meaningful
If this were the first postseason post tank there would be juice but nothing matters with this team until a conference final appearance

They're beatable.
They don't play any defense

Not sure when the wiz turned into the early 2000 lakers with the bullshtein calls in this series. I get the rest of the games they wanted to keep things competitive but tonight was embarrassing officiating. Even without the shtein reffing the Sixers lose this game but at least keep it respectable

I went last night, exciting game to go to but I am fine with a few more snooze fests like game 3 now thanks guys.
Did Tobias look as bad in person as he did on TV?
Felt like I could have blocked his shot from my seat.

I'm sure Ben will step up
well it was a fun season at least.

QuoteGame 5 was the highest rated Sixers game on NBC Sports Philadelphia since 2002, and the No. 1 program in primetime last night.
8.6 average rating and a peak of 11.8 (which is in the ballpark of about 313,000 homes concurrently)
Ethan Strauss asked doctors about every post season nba injury...
QuoteJoel Embiid (meniscus tear)
When the 76ers announced that Embiid was "day to day" despite suffering a meniscus tear, many were incredulous that the prognosis would be so, well, light. Your thoughts?
I think it is fair to call it day to day, to be totally honest. I've seen a lot of upset 76ers fans thinking that they're being fooled in some way by the 76ers saying this, but what a lot of people don't understand right away is, a meniscus injury offers a very big spectrum in terms of severity. An injury like a broken bone, it's very binary. You either have it or you don't. But a meniscus injury can be a lot of gray area. So it's very possible that they did an MRI and they found a tiny, tiny, tiny little meniscus tear and said, "Well gosh, maybe that's causing some of his soreness," and it's just that. It's a very, very small tear. It's not some big thing to do surgery or hold him out, so he truly is day to day in terms of how he responds to treatment and how he's feeling from one day to the next. On the other of that spectrum, you have your big, obvious, you look at it on the MRI and go, "Oh my goodness, that's huge, we have to do something about it, you're out for the season." So it's probably fair to call it day to day, and we've seen players play on meniscus tears before and then have surgery at the end of the season.[/right]
Haha the abc promo for game one has Ben V. Trae
Jojo is IN
Jo is playing and starting
Not a great start.
Check that.
A farging brutal start.
And it continues to get worse.
Down by 20
maxey is neat but holy shtein is he not ready for real playoff basketball
Why in the hell did doc let the second unit get so much run when they were down
Get Green off Young for fargs sake
well trae young is pretty good
Sure.
But put Simmons on his 57yr old lookin ass
And they do
And the refs want to call Hoyda touch fouls
Let's gooooooooo
So much for that little burst they had
Hawks can't miss from deep.
Well damn.
They made the Hawks nut up.
Doc lost this game by 1) keeping Green on Young in the 1H and 2) not subbing the second unit out faster when the Hawks went bonkers
They'll win the series still. The Hawks had to shoot ridiculous from 3 to win this.
Insane finish.
Goddamn man.

the volume was definitely too big but they didn't shoot abnormally well from three...they have five players over 40% from three and as a team today shot 43%
the difference is they have an all world dribble drive shooter/scorer at guard and the Sixers counter that with Ben Simmons who had 12 combined TO and missed free throws
It should be noted tho how much of a motherfarging man Joel embiid is...torn meniscus and was basically the only guy that showed up today and played one less minute than trae young
danny green was horrendous and so was tobias
they might well pull this out but man bkn gonna smoke em
its just super hard to win past the first round in the nba with ben simmons on your team
thats why you cant even get upset at this cause they getting smoked by brooklyn even if they somehow win
I am so glad I have this board to come to and bitch about Simmons. All my basketball buddies here think I'm nuts when I mock him and point out how he is a bad fit on the Sixers. I get the "you're crazy! Simmons defense is amazing! He's really good!" Game 4 of Wizards series and today should have showed them what a POS he really is. So sick of that crunch time deer in the headlights look.
bad fit on the Sixers?
he's a colossally bad fit in today's nba
massive W not getting the corpse of marv...brian anderson is legit good

Of course. It's about to be tied

i hate this victimization thinking but its likely not far off from reality...the nets are ridiculous and the sixers 2nd best player cannot shoot
I'll be in Atlanta for game 4, did not know how to act in public pre-pandemic and and I'm so much worse now so will def be in jail.
We are going to visit some of my girlfriends family (Delaware natives) there next week and I just floated the "hey babe if there's a game six..."
And got an eye roll
you're good, Sixers in 6.
Yeah I forgot to put we'd be in ATL where they live now.
I'd want to go to the game.
Ben is infuriating but they can't defend without him.
Jo is brittle and they can't defend or score without him.
Danny's knees don't bend.
Tobi disappears for long stretches.
Seth refuses to defend sometimes. Other times he refuses to shoot.
George Hill should have been a solid pickup but has totally been a dud.
The rest of the bench sucks.
And yet they're very obviously the much better team in this series and you're all still pathologically incapable of happiness.
Sixers in six.
I miss you and I love you.
Sixers have missed at my count four shots in the paint and three of them were basically bunnies
I'd like to be matisses bitch.
Not chance shake doesn't go like 2-8 tonight
no doubt. what the farg was that little dribbling expo.

props to Joel for not trying to yam that last one - that's when he breaks body parts.
Even by Ben's standards he's entirely disengaged on offense and has missed the relatively uncontested layups which he's taken.
if it wasn't the playoffs I think my anger towards Ben Simmons offense would have turned to sympathy
their last possession of the half and tyrese farging maxey who btw is a bad shooter is in the pick n roll with jo while you bury your max extension superstar on the low block and pray he can maybe get a tip in
ben for dame who says no
they need to trade Ben 5-167 for Ben 3-80 but since that's not possible Ben for Kevin huerter

lol jo can take these losers 1 on 5
Someday those knees will give out on him. But, man, it is fun to watch him play.
Was Hill within a half a foot of that ball?
He very well may have been... not that ESPN will show the damn replay.
The farg is jo doing back?
why the farg is jo back in
and yeah that is what happens
good job doc you dumb farg
Jojo should be in the ice tub not on the floor
Ben in a package for lillard yes plz
will jo be alive for the ECF
that wasn't a foul but it was way closer to being one than tray driving and leaning in with his shoulder so he should stfu

7-0 Hawks run
Rebounding has sucked and they look like they partied all night. Sluggish
Jojo is way out of it
Neither team has shot well but holy shtein Jo is draggin ass. Not great.
you don't HAVE to run the play shake...they were giving him a much better look
all time choke job in Philly sports history from embiid...I'm convinced it was because of all the shtein talking on Jokic that sixer fans have been spewing since he lost
Agree on Shake. They have him the shot. That's on Doc not telling him to take it if he's wide open.
The game from Jojo is a major gag job. Injured or not. 0-12? Blowing layups?
Oh...and when Jo struggled I'm glad Ben picked up the sla...oh nevermind
Doc is in blast mode
"They outworked us the whole fargin game" made it to tv

If Ben could just match what he shot from the stripe during the season they win last night. I'm not sure why they don't foul him more. Yea ginger boy might foul out but it's a small sacrifice for essentially a turnover

This is all correct.
That possession where ATL got the loose ball and kicked it out to Collins when they were up 4 was the killer. He buried the three and never looked back.
Such a frustrating game.
my basement flooded, i didnt watch much of this and kinda glad i didnt
trying to think but is this the first egg jo has laid in a big game? ben we know is a disaster, tobias can be too. but cant recall jo being this bad
hes had some stinkers...one in particular vs. boston
then theres the entire toronto series for the most part he was just awful down the stretch of every game...in particular turning the ball over but also not scoring in the last 6 minutes of seemingly every game...i looked it up after it happened and someone can check this but i wanna say he had like 50 total pts in the four losses that series....not second half pts or clutch pts in the entire series but total pts in the four games they lost...for comparisons sake hes had two 40 pt GAMES this postseason
he was tremendous defensively that series but man was he horrid on offense
Maybe a bad day for this, but Embiid was named to the All-NBA second team. Apparently this makes him eligible for the "Supermax" extension.

Blow this mother farger up! Every Philly team needs to be doused in gasoline, ignited and buried. farg um' all. We'll never see another championship in any sport for next 15 years.
How are you up 26 and get punked like that?
Pathetic.
that's about as ugly as it gets
not sure if this is the worst loss since ronde > 5 but its the worst collapse since black friday, no doubt
you gotta figure this is it for ben...morey knows hes a joke and tried to trade him for harden. they cant run this back and surely he knows that
this isn't nearly as bad as the kwahi shot
at least they got rid of Brett brown tho
it could be a net positive if ben is gone
he had 1 fga in the 2H. 2-6 from the line. only curry and embiid who is half dead scored in the second half. what a farce.
The Kawhi shot and the Panthers nfccg are the only two times I've been angrier at the sports than I am right now.
the kawahi shot that they couldve made or even won the finals....i was so angry after all of 5's losses but in retrospect they were never winning a title with that POS
this was a bad moment of course but they had a 0% chance of beating the nets so its not like a parade was canceled here. it still goes on the list of philly sports meltdowns though. and its a long list.
The Nets are going to be easier to beat this year than they will be next year. The path is there and they are choking on their own nutsacks.
The fact that Seth was having a nice night was great but running the offense through him in the fourth made no farging sense.
Doc running a slow developing play with 20 seconds left while they're losing made no farging sense.
Tobi completely disappearing made no farging sense.
Having a roster with a pg who literally can't shoot makes no farging sense.
Jo settling for fade-aways over and over again in crunch time makes no farging sense.
I swear the city of Philadelphia causes brain damage to its athletes.
The Kawhi shot was a mortal dagger but it was one miracle shot at the end of a close fought game.
This was a second half and especially a fourth quarter of continuous, steady pants shteinting. This wasn't being on the wrong end of a miracle. It was a monster choke job.
I still can't believe that no one but Jojo and Seth were scoring. And then to not even have them score down the stretch. Amazing.
Ship Ben's ass out. What exactly does he do? Id rather have that little midget Campazzi or whatever for the Nuggets running point.

lol at the end of a close fought game...like it was a Tuesday nite in January against Memphis.....it was a game 7 walk off...it was desean vs the giants but it was the playoffs...no sixer fan will ever forget where they were for quadruple doink...in two months last nights game will be a footnote to being a one seed and losing to the hawks...jo summed up the galactic difference in the two games perfectly...he bawled his eyes out after Toronto he was just stunned after tonight
they'll probably get pennies on the dollar at this point but soft ass simmons need to go this offseason. need a dog paired with jojo...not a punk.

The Kawhi shot and the Panthers nfccg are the only two times I've been angrier at the sports than I am right now.
I was in my seat at the Linc that night and watched Todd Pinkston laughing and chit chatting with the guys who just kicked his ass as he sauntered off the field.
I've been pissed off before but I was beside myself that night. I also realized we care infinitely more about the teams than the mercenaries who play for them.
the kawhi shot hurt and i'll never forget just laying on the floor for 20 minutes after that, but it was a once in a lifetime shot and looking back I think that will hurt less and less. last night was the bottom of the barrel and the worst Philadelphia loss of my lifetime. up by 26 points and only 2 players scoring for the entire second half - no way that has ever happened before. i know I'll watch next game but I really don't want to.
You guys weren't alive for Black Friday. That was worse for me because I was a kid and the Phillies ripped my heart out that night.

i was gonna say the cliff lee choke in 2011 was way more devastating than last night....the phillies were so god damn good that year...
the only way last night can be memorable for you is if you honestly thought the sixers were going to win the title this year...because i understand how its fresh right now but in two months no one will remember this game there will never be any highlights from it...it will come up in rando conversations like the tommy hutton game but its meaningless in the big picture...i feel like already less than 24 hrs later ben simmons is a bigger deal than the actual choke/game

if they had a real gm they would have had the foresight to move him two years ago when they would have committed highway robbery against someone
I have no idea what Black Friday is.
And against a gimpy Harden / Kyrie or an equally gutless Bucks team, this team could have absolutely won it all this year. Even moreso if Kawhi is for sure out. They won't have a window like this again any time soon.
I still think they win this series but I know I am probably wrong.
i mean if you actually believe that then it could be one of the worst losses ever....i personally dont think they are as good (a playoff team) as the hawks much less who they would have to beat to win it all

game 3, 77 nlcs. bull butchers a ball in lf, lopes gets an infield single on a blown call, phillies crumble. i think just romey and geo experienced it
The 9th inning begins at 1:49:00.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoHlsdNDWOY&ab_channel=ClassicPhilliesTV
I was in kindergarten, so not much personal remembrance here.
The game would have put the Phils up 2-1 in a five-game series. Instead, they were eliminated the next day in a torrential downpour after blowing the game.
Funny thing, in many ways like the Sixers in this series. Blow a lead late that would have put you in the driver's seat, and instead be on the brink of elimination.
Remember it well. Luzinski dropping fly ball by Manny Mota and Bowa going ape shtein on the blown call at first. Lopes later admitted he was out. Lots of Phillies heartbreaks in 76 - Swept by Big Red Machine, that Phils team was loaded, 77 not only Black Friday but fan base still feeling OK as Lefty was up against Tommy John the next day but John owned their ass at the vet and 78 game 4 was painful. Damn this team.
Actually Damm this city! While in LA listened to Monday's game on Dodgers radio and the play by play guy was running down the list of Philadelphia sports championships and pointed out the most successful team in philly sports history was the Philadelphia A's, and no I wasn't there.
Lol!
I thought you knew Connie Mack, Don!
I'll bet I'm the only one here who actually went to a game there. I was 5 so I have no memory but I went with my dad and we still have the program. It wasn't the last game but it was one of the last games there. My father loved the Phils more than just about anything and he had to to go to that hell hole with me and moms.
Pretty sure J was joking about Connie Mack the human being, not the stadium.
I thought Don was actually Connie Mack.

connie mack died in 1956, not too long after the a's left. someone born in the 1940's could have easily met him and be lucid enough to remember today. don aint that old though.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway tonight the last night ben "brick" simmons will be in a sixer uniform so enjoy
We all may be joining Connie Mack after this Sixers collapse.
What a zesty start 4-14, turn overs.
I really don't want to see Simmons in a Sixers uniform again. Trade his ass to OKC for one of their 900 first round picks.
Maybe it's the ultimate choke job collapse cobwebs but the Sixers look hungover. Slow and lethargic.
is 6 combined 1Q pts from jo Ben and Tobias bad?
they got back into the game via maxey and george 'ima bang valley trash' hill so you tell me
Ben Is trash
Stank ass motherfarger
And a 10-0 Hawks run Lolol
fargin espn is balls deep on young
To only be down 4 is a miracle
And I legit hate Trae Young. Little flopping Sonofabitch
if hes on the sixers you are on your knees
dont player hate congratulate
Idgaf
He ain't so I hate him
at least they dont have a massive lead to blow
Whew.
farg yes.
Now let's win it Sunday and send that little ho Trae to the crib
at least doc finally admitted ben is a joke
It's going to be pretty amazing when Ben demands a trade this off season and no one even bothers to complain.
After last year when they couldn't defend any of Boston's wings in the playoffs I swore I would stop complaining about him, but my god. He can't even be on the court when it matters. He's a farging head case and a half.
Yeah he's gotta go.
I have confidence that Morey realizes this and ships his lousy ass out
Quote from: MDS on June 18, 2021, 10:27:17 PM

Seriously, Doc was player of the game by calling time down the stretch and getting the cowardly lion/bricklayer off the court.
Pure torture from beginning to end, I did not enjoy one single second of that game.
How is Maxey the only one I trust in the fourth quarter.
I'd rather get blown out by 30 then blow a 30 point lead. They still have nobody who can hit shots down the stretch. Jo at least tries but usually has 3 men draped on him, Tobi is a farging joke, that slam snuff was cringeworthy, Seth is an option but I feel like they're all over him.

He's a bolt of electricity off the bench, hits an array of shots and is fearless. I think Glenn finally threw in the towel and Ben will play in chunks but be taken off the court when the starters come back for good down the stretch.
Sixers open as 7 pt favorites. Feel like this is a gimme to take the Hawks
The talking heads last night ESPN, NBA TV acted like Tobias had the game of his life. No, he just didn't disappear for once down the stretch but he is almost as frustrating as Simmons.
Sixers lose tonight it will be the second time in nba history where neither number 1 seed makes the conference finals
Dwight Howard had some neato moments this year but he should be anywhere in the world tonight but in this game
is it me or is this camera angle super wide
i can barely see
bogie tried to foul embiid did foul embiid as he should in that situation and the ref still didn't call it
These refs suck ass
I think they have been real good actually but that one was a wtf'er
docs rotations on the other hand are beyond atrocious...Dwight should not be playing at all and twice tonight he's been on the court with farging Ben...what is he doing!!!
With Ben out there it's 4 on 5.
fargin scrub. Do something
well that's kinda why you don't put him on the with Dwight which makes it 3 v. 5 but what do I know
at least Ben is mushing trae...Dwight gives you literally nothing at either end
Already see where this is heading. Close down the stretch Sixers can't hit a shot lose by 5.
that would be best for everyone cause Milwaukee would kick their teeth in
Sloppy ass shtein
jo is a disaster
omg this lineup is so bad
dwight "i'm dogshtein" howard
Tobi and four bench doods
Wtf
I'm not even joking doc has to go before Ben...he is a disgrace
he's had these five out there for like three minutes in the third farging quarter of a game 7 and I'll say it again for the 9th time tonite why is Dwight in this game
where is shake
its maddening im asking this but where is shake
does doc think there's a universe where this game ends and he regrets not playing george hill more
farging bums
Deflating end to the third.
Need some shtein to go down. Stop with the insanely lazy turnovers (Joel) and make some god damn shots (everyone especially Harris).
Need a Seth burst of threes to put them ahead like last game
this has to be the biggest deficit in franchise history
it's time for embiid to rise above
if he wants greatness it's time to take over
https://twitter.com/alaatweets/status/1406793848567828481
the problem is it's really hard for 7,2 280 guy take over down the stretch in a playoff game and even harder on a team with no ball handlers to get him the ball...nba is all athletic dribble drive p'n guards and wings and the Sixers have zero of them
now against the hawks it's possible because they are so small but in general it's really hard
Harris can't hit a barn right now
Ben regulated to the just try and start shtein with the other team role
If Matisse hits that 3 to go up 7 it's over
But here we are...tied.
farging hell man
if young wasn't atrocious tonight this would be long over
don't think putting seth on the white guy is working doc
Omg Ben
Are you farging kidding me
Ben eliminating the minuscule trade value he had
that ben play summed up his entire life
Worst foul ever.
Kevin Huerter cooked these fools
Brutal loss
not sure why embiid didn't take that three...he was perfectly in rhythm
Omg a turnover out of the timeout
Massive choke tonight
morey already on the phone trying to move 75% of the team
Doc out here playing George Hill and Shake Milton
Tobi couldn't hit shtein
Sloppy turnovers all night
Ben pulling the biggest Hoyda move ever
Matisse fouling Wentz

jo 8 TO

i dont even know what they do
you can fire doc and remake the role players, but the team is simmons-embiid and simmons is legit horrible wwhile embiid is great but limited in scope and never quite healthy.
the blazers arent gonna be look ok cool simmons and change for dame, sounds good. if you want to trade ben its a dump where youre taking back someone else's crap and giving up assets to entice them to take on ben.
It's a choke as the one seed

seeds don't matter.....matchups do....bogie could barely go tonight and deandre hunter was out for the entire series plus throw in Trae being horrid tonite and the Sixers still lost...the better seed lost and the better team won
get ready for 3 months of utterly preposterous ben simmons trade rumors
id lean toward re-processing at this point. what is the scenario where they get the right pieces around jo? what trade can you make, who can you sign? dont be the phillies and put together a worthless team with a mediocre ceiling thats what theyll do
they are 100% moving ben. they tried to make it work for years... maybe there's a way but they never discovered it. time to move on. the fanbase won't stand for running this back again.
also his trade value isn't what it was 9 months ago, but there will definitely be some gm convinced they can figure it out. not that the return is all that important. the sixers just need him off the court and out of their bank account.
with a better contract I'd agree...I just can't see anyone taking him on a max deal ...you would torpedo your franchise
maybe you dump him with a few number 1's to a zesty team
they had a chance 2 years ago to build around jimmy/jo and all they had to do was trade ben and fire brett
now theyre gonna trade ben and have already fired brett but jimmy is in miami. great stuff.

Good God! Non-championship team is going to do non-championship things. That turnover was so bad. Total reflection of the shtein show, no one else wanted the ball, JoJo was never going to give it up and was determined to carry these cowards. Even if they miraculously pull this off tonight I don't see Jojo surviving another series. Guy is on his last set of batteries for the year
Maybe Seth I'd trust, rest were "farg that, I got a flight home in the morning".
Give up the picks but don't get rid of Thybulle or Maxey
lol trade ben and picks for steph AND dame AND also like lebron or something

QuoteBen Simmons: I Love Being In Philly, I Love This Organization
JUN 21, 2021 8:11 AM
Ben Simmons took blame for the Philadelphia 76ers' loss in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and indicated he prefers to remain with the franchise.
"I ain't shoot well from the line this series," Simmons said. "Offensively, I wasn't there. I didn't do enough for my teammates. ... There's a lot of things that I need to work on."
Simmons shot 15-for-45 on foul shots against the Atlanta Hawks and 34.2 percent from the line throughout the playoffs.
"I love being in Philly," said Simmons. "I love this organization. The fans are great, great people. I had a bad series. I expect that. It's Philly."
Doc Rivers was non-committal when asked if he believes Simmons can be the point guard for a championship team.
"I don't know the answer to that right now," said Rivers. "I don't know the answer to that."
Simmons has four seasons remaining on his five-year, $177 million contract extension
That ship has sailed homie. Good luck in bumble farg with no pressure
the only good thing about all of this is it makes the hinkie cultists look like morons
the people who talked about how henry sims and isaiah cannon could be role players, the people who did victory laps when the homie came over or when they won the draft lotto for ben...those people deserve pain. i hope every person who celebrated winning the draft lotto like it was game 7 of the nba finals enjoys instagram videos of a shirtless brick simmons hitting 3's in an empty gym this summer.
Did Spike Eskin touch your peepee without permission or something? Settle down, princess. The Process was a sliver of hope and a smart approach to a rebuild. Getting all frothy at the mouth because the obvious #1 pick in the draft turned out to be a farging head case (twice) doesn't mean that a tear-down-rebuild was a bad idea. It just means that Philly sports teams are not ever allowed to have nice things. Which, frankly, is a lesson you should have internalized by now. Hinkie was fine. The Process was fine. Go be angry about something sensible. You've been a fan long enough to know how this works.
im fine with the process i just despised the virgins who developed a cult around it and like mcnabb or trump or villanova screwing temple out of joining the big east i will never ever let it go
the biggest fallacy of the process was hinkie being an anti social dweeb. his refusal to accept any accountability during the tank years is the reason he got fired, the failson took over and assets were wasted. hinkie wouldve traded ben years ago. morey wouldve too. but colangelo and the idiots around brand were convinced he was a SUPERSTAR so here we are
My god you're all over the place. Virgin Hinkie fans and but wait it's Colangelo Jr wasting Hinkie's assets except that Hinkie also would have drafted Ben but then traded him just like Morey would have but hasn't.
Got it.

its not hard. the hinkie cultists are virgin losers, yes. their hero, though, wouldve known what ben was. his idiot replacement did not. so here we are.
OMG! Joe Conklin was on Angelo's show this morning doing Barkley's reaction to Simmons. Hilarious!
people forget things quick. ben's value is at an all-time low obviously, so there is a 90% chance they run it back next year. like it or not.
Not buying there is a market for Simmons out there. Sure, for a bag of socks and a few of those Covid metal rack organizers on every bench. He's a Sixer next year. 2022 = 2021, enjoy.
Ben's 100% gone
They'll either get a lesser player like CJ who everyone will complain about or have to package assets like Maxey/Thybulle to get it done but there's zero chance he's back next season.

he's seen a lot of basketball players and he knows deep inside this current team has no heart.
man does that suck though.
absolutely no one was better than zoom and mix...the best Philly sports announcing team ever and one of the best I've ever heard anywhere
alaa has already become almost embarrassing to listen to, going to be impossible to top Zumoff but even more importantly someone who can deal with alaa's corny jokes.
the jokes dont bother me nearly as much as the homerism...especially on foul calls...hearing him complain about them gets so farging old
and worse than that it brainwashes the idiot fan base...especially the young ones into thinking the whole world is against the sixers
yeah his first year it seemed like he was going to be pretty fair but he went full homer quick.
and I don't know how the radio to tv thing works but maybe McGinnis takes over? unless people still listen to basketball on the radio?
yeah i thought he was really good early...and then he went off the rails...i used to wonder if it came down from management to homer it up more
i would think mcginnis is certainly on the short list if not the leader in the clubhouse
Zoo was legit good. Like in a different world he's doing games on tnt. No idea how they'll get to free place him but chances are it'll be unbearable with Alaa
Zoo was fantastic.
I enjoy McGinnis too.
But to call Zoo and Mix, while great, the best in the city is wrong. Harry and Whitey.
love them but thought whitey was a little overrated...mix was a way better basketball announcer than whitey was a baseball announcer imo...harry in his prime was magical tho....i give him a slight edge over zoom but not enough to close the gap between the color guys
Fair on Mix/Whitey
But the sports and their pacing has to be factored in. Hoops is obviously fast paced and needs almost instant analysis and observations.
And obviously baseball is so slow that the chemistry of the crew is important. For a crew to be able to be like Harry and Whitey is special. It felt like they were just sitting there bullshteinting and carrying the nights with stories.
Maybe Zumoff will backfill Scott O'Neills hole whatever it is that he actually did.
You Are Where Your Feet Are. what a douche.
a 60something broadcaster immediately transitioning into a hack for a hedge fund sounds pretty logical
zoo/mix was probably a better pure broadcast in terms of analyzing the game and offering relevant information....not exactly whitey's specialty. dude was banging whores and getting old man messed up on his pipe before games, then hed saunter on camera and babble some generalities about whatever terrible game was about to take place. however him and h were unmatched in terms of chemistry and entertainment value.
yes obvi I was kidding but everything I have ever read about or heard from Scott O'Neill is insufferable. for someone who writes terrible self help books he is really quick to take credit for things.
Bring Dario back as a stretch five for the love of farging Christ.

lol I don't pay for the Atlantic so don't ever bother clicking their links.
that being said I saw some Cavs trade rumor that was sexton/love plus more for ben. that would work.
FYI the athletic is still $1 a month for me.....not sure what it would be to sign up new right now tho
Minus Jo don't care what they have to give up to get dame. They're in the finals with him on the team right now
QuoteThe Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers have recently been the "most aggressive suitors" for a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers for Damian Lillard.
Lillard has said he expects to remain with the Blazers next season, but he has become clear in his desire for more urgency in their efforts to contend for a title.
Should Portland eventually decide to trade Lillard, executives in the NBA expect the Blazers to receive a return for Lillard comparable to what the Brooklyn Nets sent the Rockets for Harden. Lillard is signed for four more seasons at $176 million total.

Any guesses? I read all the rumors...none of them sound that bad or that great
The Raptors rumors definitely sound like the favorite right now. Getting Lowry and OG would be a really good fit, roster-wise.
But obviously if the sixers have a realistic shot at getting Dame or Beal that's gotta be the focus.
Have a feeling dames staying put but Beal bounces. Unless Russ gets traded to the lakers I don't think the Wiz have interest in Simmons.
Not sure the Raptors part with 4 but I'd love Jalen Suggs.
Feeling Morey pulls something off none of us see coming
How great would it be to watch the Bullets trainwreck with Russ and Ben on the same team? Ha what a fargin shteinshow.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1420464802904907780 21
Any guesses on tonight? I think they move 28 and something like Hill for someone and Ben stays put for now unless Beal/dame become available.
Sixers made a deal...
https://twitter.com/KyleNeubeck/status/1420746412245929986
So now they have 28, 50 and 53? I have no idea what they plan to do but I doubt that Doc and management really want to load up on more young players. They've already got young players to develop that they like. Seems most likely that they're trying to collect some short term assets to put a trade package together.

https://twitter.com/JClarkNBCS/status/1420884099976286211
Beal's staying put too. Think they'll trade 28 and Hill for something and that's that for tonight. Morey's not getting a Harden type deal.
I really don't see what moves the needle trading Hill and 28. Might as well just draft and keep someone at 28, should be some solid guys there.
Ben is not getting traded tonight.
Yeah I don't see the need to trade Hill. He's a fine bench veteran. If anything trading tonight's picks for future picks might make sense but aside from that I don't see why they'd trade Hill.
Hill has an expiring contract next season and was garbage in the playoffs. If they can package 28 with him for an upgrade it would make sense
He was garbage after being out for two months on a new team. I'm willing to cut him a little slack. He's a vet who can do a little bit of everything off the bench. That doesn't grow on trees. I'm not opposed to packaging him up and trading him but it's not high on my list of priorities.
He played fine during the regular season when he came back. He was god awful in the playoffs. They don't need more end of the bench players like Paul Reed. Pick 28 loses all value once they make a selection.
I wanted Bones but Jared Butler would be a great fit here.
Jaden Springer

1. win now mode.
2. draft youngest player in draft
3. steal underpants
4. profit
I guess the "Morey doesn't use his draft picks" line is over.
In the grand scheme of things three low picks is no big deal but I was really expecting some type of excitement. A promising 3 and D guy and a euro stash doesn't seem to be ideal. Bassey could be a steal though, that dude was a projected lottery pick two years ago before he decided to stay.
everything dies when it comes to Philly....just add Daryl morey to the list
Dwight Howard...he gone.

Pretty sure they tried trading Hill but nobody wanted him
Quote76ers Plan On Waiving George Hill
AUG 3, 2021 12:58 AM
The Philadelphia 76ers plan on waiving George Hill. Hill had a partial guarantee for the 21-22 season.
The 76ers traded for Hill at the deadline last season from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Hill is coming off a three-year, $28.7 million deal he signed with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2019, which contained the partial guarantee.
I really don't understand what they're doing right now but ok.
The Hill trade was a huge bust. Maybe clearing space for another move in f/a...I'm not up to date with how the nba cap works now but they might need the space if they want to utilize the full mle
Looks like a straight money saving move. His contract would have some value for matching the case of a trade next season but I guess they don't see they panning out.

I have faith in Morey until he fargs something up, which he has not done yet. Rather him wait longer than normal over getting baited into deals like Elton did.
Speaking of, isn't Elton Brand technically still the GM? This is very corporate-y of me but they really need to do a RIF and get rid of some of these front office peeps.

ok that lasted 3 minutes.
Um. What the farg. That is a farging terrible signing.
No problem with Drummond..films the Howard role...he's getting the Vet minimum
He can't shoot or switch on defense. He's a slower, fatter, more ground-bound Dwight. He's a relic from decades passed. He farging sucks.
As long as Ben is gone or they're not on the court together he's fine. He's a better player than Howard at this point in their careers.
In theory signing Drummond to the vet minimum isn't too bad. But giving Doc the ability to overplay him is pretty bad.

This is exactly right.
Also, Drummond farging sucks.
Niang is the first sensible thing Morey has done this week.
I actually laughed out loud at the Drummond signing. He's pretty bad but in his defense there's nothing wrong with being old, fat and slow.

Hmmm... maybe there's a chance I can get an NBA minimum contract. Beats the hell out of a teacher's salary.
He isn't even old! He just looks like a fossil because he's so goddamned middle America fat. farging terrible signing.
HOTT!!

the most curious thing about drummond is not why the sixers signed him but why he choose the sixers...hes actually a great back up center at that price...maybe hes counting on embiid getting hurt but if jo is healthy drummonds minutes are going to be really really small
He is a great backup center. For some other team. For the sixers he exacerbates their biggest problem for absolutely no reason.

no ben simmonds is their problem and shooting in general...if there were stretch four or fives on the market at the minimum then drummond would be a bad signing but that is just completely unrealistic...you cant do much better at the minimum than him as a two center....i dont get why he did it tho
Ben Simmons and a lack of shooting are the same problem. Drummond exacerbates that problem. If they find a taker for Ben then this will just be a dumb but basically fine move. With him on the team this is a shteinshow of a signing.
it wasnt a choice between drummond and a shooter and they chose drummond...in fact they got the shooter in niang...hes gonna be a 10-15 minute back up center and for that hes a very good signing...hes a much better version of dwight howard and niang is an infinitely better version of mike scott...tallest midget type moves that wont move the needle but they did improve at both spots
Jojo used to shtein talk Drummond like crazy. I would've liked to see them keep Howard. But if either one of them were getting big minutes it bc Jo is hurt (again) and it won't matter.
Niang is a good pick up.
Havas' bird was rock hard when he saw him in the Flyers jersey

We love you to Dwight but Ben can kiss our ass.
Watching the team continue to get murdered in the playoffs every time Jo leaves the court will be so great. Can't wait. Great signing.

Green's back on a 2 year $20 million deal. Seems like a bargain with what some of these other players are getting. He probably wanted to go to the Lakers but since they've signed everyone they were probably only offering scrap. Green has his rings so don't blame him for taking the $$$$
They needed Green back. They haven't done shtein to close the gap with Mil/Bk but without resigning him they would be taking a big step back.
they have closed the gap on Chicago, Washington, and maybe more though.
The bullets stink, have always stunk, and will always stink. It is written. I don't really get what the Bulls are doing but they have a lot of names I know and will at least probably make the playoffs.
I can see a world where the Bulls go on a regular season run by simply outscoring teams. The bullets have play-in team written all over them.
if the bullets can just play below average defense they will win a decent amount of regular season games cause they are deep as shtein and that goes along way in the regular season
Look at their starting lineup. They are not deep as shtein. They are trash. As god intended.
Arron holiday is like their tenth best player...you can quibble over how many wins they ultimately get but the one thing you can't say is that they aren't deep as farg

I am a perpetual pessimist when it comes to philly sports but this is an insane statement.
The Bullets and Knicks are both going to be middle of the pack teams again. The Bullets rearranged some deck chairs but they will be starting Kyle farging Kuzma and (probably) Trez. They are only deep if you consider having lots of completely mediocre players to be depth.
People seem to see something in Evan Fournier that I don't but I don't think that dude moves the needle at all for the Knicks and if Randle puts up another all-NBA season next year I'll eat my shoe.
The Bulls will be fun, but I don't think they'll be top-of-the-conference good.
The Hawks are good. So, fine.
Obviously we don't know how the Ben situation will play out so there's a lot of opportunity for the Sixers to regress, but I don't know how anyone can look at the Knicks and Bullets and think that they are going to be anything other than teams fighting to dodge the play-in.
It would appear that the sixers' summer league roster has slightly more nba-level talent than Dallas'.
I know it's only summer league but springer looks rough on offense. I love his D no homo but we got enough of that.
god damn that maxey block. gonna miss that guy.
Maxey's defense was incredible tonight. what a pleasant surprise.

Great they're gonna wind up with McCollum now.
they have been shopping him for months....its not like everyone in the nba didnt already know he wanted out...his playoff performance and overall game will be the reason the return is weak
Moreys asking price is absurd. The article says there's no shortage of interest he just wanted a kings ransom. Ben can sit and rot.
Wah. I won't report. I won't play.
What a Hoyda.
theyre not getting dame or beal and therefore never winning anything so at this point spite for ben should be the focus
either sit and rot or send him to something like sacramento

I don't know why this John wall trade seems to be gaining traction. I loved wall is his heyday, prob my favorite non-sixer for a few years, but my man is cooked and he actually make more than ben. imagine having to give up more with ben just to get someone like John wall back. would be a complete disaster of a trade. not like it's not going to be anyway, but there are 20+ better returns at the moment.
Morey should be run out of town if they trade Ben for Wall.
JJ announced his retirement this morning on his podcast. I guess he's cooked now too with an achilles injury but I would have brought him back for another year or two just because of how jojo loves playing with him.

Fultz was turned into Maxey.
Jo is a top 5 player
Ben's still a bitch
I was 100% in all all three of those picks, can't even be mad at them for that. who would have known that 2 of them would turn into being the weirdest players of all time.
it's going to be very frustrating this year when ben starts taking 2 threes a game and Markell is a decent player.
fultz pick was fine
trading for it was not
the pick that really hurt them was jah

Peace out, Ben. farg off to another city and let them deal with your horseshtein.
Only a Philadelphia team can have high picks when there aren't legit franchise players available.
Consider the source but not sure the Sixers are getting a better offer
QuoteESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported on "First Take" on Wednesday morning that the most recent Blazers and Sixers trade talks have centered around shooting guard C.J. McCollum, along with other pieces:
"According to my sources, they're talking about C.J. McCollum, they're talking about Robert Covington, they're talking about a couple first-round picks. "The 76ers have not been willing to bite."
honestly CJ, Roco, and picks is fine by me at this point. Simmons and dame will be amazing together no doubt in my mind.
Damn wouldn't of had a problem with this trade
QuoteBrooklyn showed interest in trading Kyrie to Philly, per @stephenasmith
"Kyrie could have ended up in Philly. Sean Marks couldn't do that cuz KD wasn't having it. ... I assure you, if it were not for Kevin Durant, the Brooklyn Nets would be interested in making that deal
Remember when teams traded players and weren't terrified at the reaction of the other players?
kyrie in philly would be the disaster of disasters
he is mentally ill...like seriously the dude aint right and thats fine. playing sports in front of meatheads is not a good idea.

Oh snap!
As stated earlier "a god"!
good. farg ben so hard.
Gonna take a while to get used to Drummond out there. My man looks thicc.
QuoteAfter receiving a big fine for missing last night's preseason game, sources say Ben Simmons' representation spoke to the players association and had it reiterated the money could not be recovered, a potential sign that the weight of a holdout is setting in.
Rich Paul's an icehole. I hope this situation exposes him. He's willing to let a client forfeit $30 million...either that or he's not familiar with the cba
I'm not even defending Paul.
He done some zesty stuff with his clients.
Exhibit 1 is nerlens.
But in this case it's all on Ben....he's a grown farging man having a hissy fit cause it's jo jo's team and he's beloved and people rip Ben cause he can't shoot and he simply can't take it
If he wanted to be in camp tonight he could be and there's nothing rich Paul could do about it
Yeah.
I do think Paul is influential enough to poison his brain into thinking this is good. But on the whole this lies squarely on Ben's bitch ass.
It's almost like Rich Paul is only a powerful agent because he grew up with Lebron.
But yeah in this situation Ben has been used to getting his way his whole life, so he probably thought there was no way he would actually lose money here.
Ben = TO
Paul = Rosenhaus
Ultimately yea it's on Ben but Paul shouldn't be covering for him and counseling him to skip team activities. It's not in his clients best interest and has only made the trade situation worse.
I don't get this line of thinking at all. All of this is occurring because Ben is a sensitive bitch who has disappeared up his own icehole. At worst Paul is an enabler. But I suspect we'd see similar bullshtein out of him if he had a different agent.
I would consider any news story blaming this on Paul to be a plant from the Sixers offering Ben a way to save face by firing Paul, claiming he was misled, and changing his strategy.
I don't see anyone not blaming this on ben and his fragile ego. I just don't think rich Paul is helping the situation at all.
also I recently found out that rich Paul is dating Adele. and she's skinny now.
Holy shtein I saw a picture of her too. She lost a ton of weight. Good for her.
And if it weren't for Lebron, Rich Paul would be lucky to be the night grill guy at Waffle House.
Kate seems fine. she has that good generic professional play by play voice. there will never be another zoom I just hope she gets excited at times.
I was thinking the same thing. It's hard to replace one of the greats, but she has a good, professional voice and demeanor. Maybe as she and Alaa have time to mesh, she'll be able to expand a bit.
Just really strange to not hear Zoom.
It's all fun and games until you start losing a lot of money. I don't think Ben really thought this through:

Sixers officials and Klutch CEO Rich Paul have progressed in talks over recent days on a resolution to bring All-Star Ben Simmons back to Philadelphia in the near future, sources tell ESPN. Discussions are ongoing
I'm sure he'll come back then have some undisclosed injury.
all it will take is a couple good games and a few three pointers and the majority of the fanbase will forget all about this.
I don't see that happening. Especially with Jo's comments and the Jimmy Butler jealousy mess. Philly fans are ruthless and don't forget Jack shtein. This fan base holds grudges worse than a scorned woman.
I specifically don't see the part happening where he makes a few three pointers.
hes showing up to get paid, not to play
Yep.
And he's going to be the same passive aggressive non shooting player he was before. He may even be worse bc he's going to get roasted by the fans. He either takes his medicine for being a ho and it stops or he doesn't and the booing gets worse every time out.

Ben Simmons is not currently mentally ready to play in games with the Philadelphia 76ers and was also receiving treatment on his back, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Simmons will miss Friday's home opener against hte Brooklyn Nets and "is not expected to play for an undermined period of time."
Simmons reported to the 76ers at the end of last week.

According to Sources, belief by #Sixers Ben Simmons is faking injury and mental illness. He came in 2day and said he had back stiffness and mentally not ready to play. Mental illness is serious issue and team is livid Simmons went down that road. Team plans to fine him every game
I mean he hasn't shown any emotion in his entire life, he's definitely got some head problems. What an absolute garbage person though.
Morey?s on 97.5. He said if Ben wants to come back they?ll welcome him, if not they?ll only accept a trade for a difference maker that will help them win a championship. He said if this takes 4 years they?re willing to wait it out.
good
that sounds a lot like they are giving him every chance to come back before they starting taking real money...that would be earth moving in the nba...probably unprecedented as no one wants to be the organization who takes money from players
normally I'd say that would effect a franchise when it comes to signing good free agents but I have a feeling not many nba players like ben anyway.
It?s not about Ben?they don?t give a flying farg about Ben?.the idea of a team taking money from a player is all the PA cares about?.it is not a Pandora?s box they want to see opened

Let?s sort this out:
Simmons is too soft for this city and tried to force a trade
The Sixers wouldn?t fold
Simmons realizes he?s currently in a no win situation
He meets with the team and throws the ?mental? word around so people will back off a little
Zero chance he has serious mental health issues and even if he did his ego is too big to admit it. So he uses it as a ploy. Dude is a piece of shtein.

Really gotta be one of the slimiest moves in sports history. Also kinda clever because you can't really say they're lying without also coming off an an insensitive douche.
The amazing thing is there?s still teams who?d kill to have that weak ass motherfarging quitter.
Not mentally ready to play = not ready to get his fargin face booed off

not to get ahead go myself after two games but I think the spacing they have now is more important and makes them better than the assists they lose from ben.

running offense through tobias and seth in the last minute...a recipe for success

Ben doesn't move the needle for this team. Not sure if SAS sources are legit but if that Mccollum/Roco 2 1sts deal was on the table Morey should have taken that and ran. As it stands right now they're running back the same shtein from last season.
wow, no
Better or not - game was winnable and they shouldn't have lost.
I don't think maxey can be a starter on a championship team but damn could he be an incredible instant offense guy off the bench
I didn't want to comment until I got a handful of games under my belt but I agree with everyone else that Kate Scott is really good....so smooth
I love her enthusiasm and overall she's a fine announcer. It's a hard transition from Zum. Was listening to Mcginnis Friday...guess he didn't want the spot because he's such a damn good announcer "are you kidding me"
I'm actually going the other way on Kate...just too old school for my liking. like she feels the need to say what college each player went to every single time they touch the ball. nobody cares about that shtein anymore. and please don't use zumoff's catch phrases. it's fine a few times in tribute or something but she said she's planning on doing it all year - no one wants that.
she's good and I'm sure I'll get used to her but if they called each other partner one more time I was going to slit my wrists. Alaa says that enough.
speaking of alaa, when jo went for that block with a minute left in the game he said "I could care less what happens to giddy, I just hope the big guy isn't hurt". lol
and why was jojo in the game with 1 minute left against the thunder in October. why was he even playing at all after gimping so much last game. I love that he wants to play hard every night but this is one of the reasons other teams are healthy for the playoffs and this team loses.

Twitter was having a bit of a field day with that line.
I didn't even think of the Aussie connection - with so many Aussies being Sixers fans now.
I don't even like alaa that much but it's obvious he didn't mean it the way he said it.
One positive thing about Ben being a bitch is it's allowing Maxey to get a lot of run. I'm glad they didn't trade him.

we will see if he improves his game enough to one day justify being a starter but for right now this is not as good a thing as maybe you think it is
yeah it's going to be a long season - maxey ain't the answer. great backup but not a starting PG on a contender.
and this has been the most obvious game that they miss ben on D. matisse and Danny are great 2nd and third defenders but oof matisse has gotten burnt 2-3 times every game this year.
doc still terrible. even without ben out there I couldn't tell you what kind of offense they're running.
And there it goes...
I'm getting really tired of being a Philly sports fan right now. With everything else in the world right now, this shtein is getting old.
Yeah after I posted that he's been getting beaten up a bit.
He's just not a good NBA starter and might not be a good nba player
What a brutally bad second quarter. Jesus
what a brutally bad time for philly sports in general.
nightmare scenario is the Sixers lose like 4-5 in a row. ben somehow comes back to play. everything goes back to normal and they lose in first round of playoffs.

This^^^^
Ben will come back, they'll probably somewhat right the ship, playoffs will come, same issues will pop up rinse and repeat.
still could have won this trash game if they could hit 3s.
I'm not sure the Sixers run plays this year.
Why do they hate putting games away so much
JFC
because they have 1 good player and hes a center
morey is hopefully smarter than me so he won't but they gotta figure out this ben situation sooner rather than later. what a not fun team to watch play basketball.
I don't think I'm exaggerating that they are probably a play in team in the east right now. kinda depressing watching some of the other east squads - Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, shtein even the Wiz right now - they all have 3-4 guys who could go off at any minute. We have Jo and farging Seth curry who could get hot every now and then.
Tobias is putting up almost triple double every night and I still barely even remember him being out there.

and man what is with the bench guys - what a nice surprise lately. kork probably has the most reverse yams in the league.
Jerseys are smoking. Please keep.
I know the Sixers have been winning, but Embiid just doesn't look as good as last year to this point. Don't know if it's the knee, Simmons, or a combo, but he hasn't been as dominant.
That was a helluva win. Those jerseys are sex
This block was sexy. That's for damn sure.
https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1456070103443787782
something is definitely wrong with the big guy. amazing block to end that game but man he's got cement feet and no arc on his shot. all things that would be affected by a bad knee.

QuoteThe Philadelphia 76ers fined All-Star guard Ben Simmons his $360,000 game salary for missing Thursday night's victory over the Detroit Pistons and plan to continue fining him until he cooperates with team physicians on his mental health and fulfills other basketball-related obligations, sources told ESPN on Friday.
The Sixers will again place Simmons' future salary into an escrow account, sources said. Earlier this season, the Sixers released Simmons' money from escrow after he had been initially cooperative on a path toward returning to play.
Sixers officials believe they have been supportive of Simmons' stated need for mental health assistance and are left no choice but for these actions in response to the three-time All-Star's refusal to provide basic details of his course of mental health meetings, evaluation or treatments or to accept consultation with any specialists arranged by the team, sources said. Simmons has worked with mental health professionals via the National Basketball Players Association.
He's hurting himself more than the team with these shenanigans. It's a shame and whoever is advising him to pull this nonsense should be taken to task by the league.
It's one thing to attempt to maneuver someone to another team, but this bullshtein goes way beyond that now.
Ben's full of shtein with the mental health shtein and this is coming from someone with mental health issues
BDawk/Dak/Roidboy...zero doubt in my mind they've struggled with mental health issues and I have mad respect for them going public with their struggles. Ben's a narcissist icehole who is scared to death to step in front of our fans so he's using that angle as an excuse.
he really is such a bitch. I want it over. give me CJ straight up at this point. not wasting an entire year of jojo, when it's very possible he's already trending down, is more important than making sure you win the trade.

There's some Ben loyalist and any local Aussies will stay loyal. The bigger issue between the 2 is with football fields it's less intimate of a setting plus TO wore headphones during warmups.

As time has gone on and Banner had a series of contract farg ups - biggest by far letting Dawkins walk the TO hate has died down a bit. I went to the game in 2007 when TO ran all over the Birds and the pregame hate was nuts. The hardest part with TO was after his performance on one leg in the SB the guy was a Philly god, then he farged that all up with his childish antics. Ben has never achieved that level of love. Fans are still pissed about the playoffs.
TO was definitely a big villain in '05 but time has proven him right about McNabb.
There's not any revisionist history that can rescue Simmons.

and this jaylen brown story is my new favorite. hopefully the jaylen and Tatum beef or whatever it is is worse than reported and they need to make a deal, because otherwise seems like a big L for the Celtics.
also jaylen brown is a good dude and Tatum is a douche. hating on Tatum and ben at the same time would be lovely.
Line flipped 3.5 pts
Not as much as I thought
eh, still moving but yeah seems like it should be bigger. Knicks fans losing their minds this year and still only 2.5 favorites to a team that will be starting bball Paul and korkmaz tonight.

last 2 games were super entertaining even though they were never going to win
they cant win in the playoffs with this roster....you cant close out playoff games with toby or seth...but theyre more fun to watch at least without that funhole ben around
would have been nice to get at least one win but probably the most fun two game losing streak that I can ever remember.
drummond is a beast at what he does best, but going to have the same problems as Dwight when it comes to playoffs, he can not step outside the paint to guard anyone.
I know it's cliche but I do think this stretch of heavy minutes will help the bench guys down the road this year. shtein even Bassey had a nice block on Giannis that had to feel good.
They need a pg but Maxey's fun to watch

He knows he's allowed to retire for his own health, right? Surely if this is causing such distress, it would be in his best interests to step away.
Quote"Either you help Ben, or come out and say he's lying. Which one is it?"
They pretty much have said that he's lying, they are just being too classy to put it that way.
Also he is lying.
What a clown. Both him and Rich Paul can farg off.
He's a liar and they're both exploiting the mental health thing for their benefit
Imagine paying an employee $40 million a year, they tell you they can't work due to mental health issues, you ask them to keep you in the loop with their doctors and they play victim and make you the bad guy. Morey just needs to take his best offer at this point. farg Ben they're never winning shtein with him anyway.
pretty crazy that your second best player comes back and it ruins the whole pace of what they've been doing the last few games. they probably lose anyway but man Tobias puts up the most empty stats ever. seems like a great locker room guy but but that contract seems worse and worse every day.
I see that Grant Riller is on the injury report due to a knee injury.
I have just one question.
Who's Grant Riller?
Apparently they really miss... Grant Riller.
what a difference a week makes. I wouldn't be surprised if jojo never recovers.
also Tobi's haircut is terrible.
Bedtime.
And I hate Utahs court and colors.

I hope I never have to hear furkan korkmaz hype ever again...he is straight trash
Yeah not the best week for kork.
The team was better when Tobi was out with Covid. Even with Embiid out, Tobi makes this team worse. They had a really good flow going for a while, and the second he came back everything slowed. I know he and Doc have a bromance but watching Tobi back down guards while staring at the ground is unwatchable. I really hope there is a way that Morey the god can include him in any ben deal.
I guess that's technically a good win with so many guys out but they are not impressive. they would have lost that game if Tobi played.
my last 10 comments in here have been about Tobi sucking but man the offense is so much smoother and faster without Tobi backing someone down every play.
Until the 4th quarter last night,
Maxey crossover and finish was very AI'ish
Holy shtein!
Double ot
least entertaining double OT game ever. that first half was one of the worst halves of basketball I've ver seen. Tobi looks like he's never seen a basketball before. jo lost at least 15 lbs yet still dominated once he got going but very few highlights otherwise.
this is a play in team, even if they make a big trade. dame is literally the only person that would put them in the title conversation and even still it would be slim.
Jojo said "that jawn got me good" and thought at times he was t gonna make it.
Covid ain't no joke. But hey the portly 50yr old watching Tuck Tuck and Sean on Fox prob think he's full of shtein.
I'm a Doc apologist but he lost that game
What's the point of having Curry out there in ot if they're not going to utilize him on offense
terrible maxey turn then jo trying to play hero ball
bad stuff
he was never elite or anything but its so bizarre just how awful furk has become

yeah it's been a horrific few weeks. he actually looked really good for the first month or so. he and Drummond have a nice little two game for some reason, but furk gets tunnel vision and you know what he's going to do the second he gets the ball, then it takes him 10 seconds to actually do it.
remember when Rudy Gobert started covid?
This right here is where they really miss Ben
You can't have a backcourt of maxey and Seth and expect to get many stops
I knew they were not even gonna get a shot up. down by one, instead of dropping it down to jo tobi decides to dribble it 20 times with 5 seconds left.
not like anyone on this team would have made the shot anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.
nm
farg tobi.
Just watched replay on NBA TV, unfortunatley C's announcers. They are awful. Both teams looked like ass ecept Tatum. Jojo was painful. Game had no energy for most of the night. Crowd was more enthralled with the maintanence crew repairing the net several times during the game.
I actually don't mind the Cs announcers. I found them very un-annoying which doesn't seem to fit with Boston. Kinda boring but scalabrine is pretty good.
he is good...the Celtics we're unbearably bad with heinsohn...he was a top 5 all time bad announcer...once he retired they are fine
That was Ginger? I was going to ask who they were.
I have to get off the beating up the oppostitions announcers wagon. I'm sure people hate on the Philly crews just as bad. I was lucky as we grew up with Vin Scully and Lon Simmons (Giants/49ers radio announcer back in the day). Dodgers broadcast crew is awful trust me. Hershiser has become a complete homer gomer and their studio crew makes you contemplate Hari-Kiri. Lakers not much better.
I know he's still learning and he didn't do it at Kentucky but maxey has no clue how to run people into screens
Big win
They really wanted that one
not gonna get too hype but that was a very sweet little win
is it me or did that foul make no sense...young had his back to the basket and had picked up his dribble with 2 seconds left
instead they get a decent look and shot. it worked out i guess

I mean your point isn't wrong but he mis dribbled not picked it up
Some recent rumblings about Simmons for SGA (which I'm sure are being floated by the Sixers) which would be fine.
Not the biggest McCollum fan but right now they have nothing and I don't see teams beating down the doors
QuotePortland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard would reportedly like his team to acquire Ben Simmons. Lillard is pushing the franchise to make significant roster changes, even in the wake of Portland firing Neil Olshey.
In the past, the Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers held discussions that involved moving guard C.J. McCollum, a first-round pick and a young player for Simmons. Talks stalled when Philadelphia asked for McCollum and multiple first-round picks and pick swaps.
Olshey was a fervent supporter of McCollum. Olshey considered McCollum to be "his" draft find and had been reluctant to trade the 30-year-old combo guard.
The Trail Blazers organization hopes that firing Olshey serves a reset for the franchise. With uncertainty looming over Lillard's future, there is a thought the team may look to make changes to keep their star committed to Portland.
cant believe mcollum is 30....man time travels fast
No doubt! Damn! Uncle Don is getting old.
Funny calling a 30 year old G "his draft find", makes it sound like he's still developing. Wasn't he recenty out for a little bit, injury?

technically they have a fully healthy squad right now and lost by 20. was a nice first quarter, fastest they've looked all season, but they might be the least enjoyable team in the league to watch right now.

yeah I don't even count him anymore. I thought they might be some scrappy team that gets a top 3 seed without him, maxey becomes a leader etc, but they are a play in team at best right now.
ps tobi blows.
also steph needs 10 3s to break the record. 100% chance he gets all of them in philly tomorrow.
They need a 2nd scoring option preferably someone in the backcourt. Late in games they have Jo either taking/hitting shots or posting up at the top of the key to distribute at times. Tobi was fine all last season but come playoff time he was dreadful. This year he's just sort of there. Maxey's fun with no Jo but they need a late game finisher who's not afraid to take the ball from Jo. Jimmy Butler was perfect for that role but Ben's a Hoyda so here we are. Beals having an only ok season by his standards and doesn't seem committed to Wash...maybe strike while the iron is hot.
matisse has been dreaming about swatting steph 3s for days.
Those last four possessions were killer...force three turnovers and make a stop and get one point at the other end including two missed layups and a missed dunk
There's a bangin ass chick in an incredibly short dress in the front row right next to the dubs bench
only game of this year that was straight fun from beginning to end.
there was one play when jo just said maxey go, and he did.
once they get to know each other better it's gonna be good.
season changer.
also tobi still sucks.

Matty is right - first game that's been fun from tip to final buzzer. Matisse was on it. And loved Jojo's post gamer.
last night was the first game this year which I turned off before halftime. what a difference two days makes, I am off the GS high and back to realizing this team kinda stinks.

exactly the same for me. i just couldn't sit through that mess. this team really blows w/o jojo....and it's not that great with him.
in conclusion, farg ben simmons.
Looks like they're shteinting the bed again, this time with Embiid in.
What a scrappy almost comeback against a bunch of scrubs.
Ben and Covid have farged this team up
Morey plz trade that scumbag and get some people in here
re-thank and trade embiid
they are the 8 seed they always had nightmares of becoming
this team has given me very little joy this year. basically the GS game and that one streak for a week when jo and tobi were both out.
I will always love jo but it's not even fair to him anymore. he's already on the down slope. blow the whole farging thing up and start the process over.
just stopping by to say farg boston!
carry on.

the 76ers is a veteran team ranking in 6th.
If you ever wanted to know what it looks like to see a fan pulled out of the crowd and thrown into a game I give you Tyler Johnson.
they are unwatchable....if people watched nba regular season or cared about the sixers like they do eagles/phillies theyd be getting crushed
Watched Christmas specials with the kids tonight instead. Much better use of my time.
Hold up.
They lost at home to the ghosts of Jon Koncak and Kevin Willis?
The Hawks had no one farging playing! And the Sixers lost?
So last night Maxey's house caught on fire. Today, he got placed in COVID protocols.
Merry Freakin' Christmas.

Don't ask which player he asked for (no, not Simmons)... :embarassed:
man, all that losing was so worth it.
I got the city edition spectrum jerseys as Christmas presents and everyone got them earlier this week - said they look great. got myself a bball Paul and looks like it never left china. first time I ever had one lost in the mail.
I just don't see any way the Sixers win with myles powell in covid protocol.
Such a weird team
jo has been the best player in the nba for the last two weeks. I love him getting that emotion back and starting to troll like young jojo, just not sure I want it do be against kd lol.
not sure why both Kate and alaa are out but I wish it could be these two all year. Marc Jackson is so much better than alaa.

Time to get that Specrum jersey Tee. I like acting 12 years old!! Wife has it easy for holiday shopping for me and son. and yes Rome my son got his obligatory Liverpool t shirt for the holidays.
I might start listening to the opposing teams announcers for the rest of the year. alaa and Kate have quickly become almost unwatchable. just 2 super boring people with no chemistry, rambling about nothing most of the game.

I didn't mind her at first but they're bad. Wish they would have enticed McGinnis to take the tv job.
They were good. Jo got injured...they lost their chemistry. He's back to playing at an mvp level and they look great again.
Jo looks great but this is a somehow unimpressive 7 game winning steak. sure they need to beat the bad teams also but I don't feel a whole lot better about this team than I did 2-3 weeks ago. could be the slowest team ever assembled, especially with maxey out.
They beat the Nets and they're blowing out the bad teams. Theyre definitely playing better overall. Even though Seth didn't play last night he's developed into a legit second scorer. Not saying they win squat with this team but if they can get something for Ben the other pieces are there.
Not sure there are many teams that could take on both salaries but a Tobi contract dump is better than picks
QuoteThe Philadelphia 76ers have begun to attach Tobias Harris to their trade discussions of Ben Simmons, according to Brian Windhorst and Marc J. Spears of ESPN.
That would be amazing. I think Tobi might be holding this team back even more than the Ben fiasco right now. Seems like a great locker room guy but man is the definition of empty stats. And he somehow forgot how to dunk.

They look like shtein
Jojo is the only person on the team who gives a shtein. He might actually care too much, I don't want him diving for loose balls anymore.
He is literally the only piece on the team worth keeping, no one else should be untouchable. Probably keep Maxey and Seth just because of their contracts, and Matisse because he's so good on D, just hope he can become less of a disaster on offense. With Dame out this year, might as well blow it up. They just won 7 in a row and still have zero chance of winning a playoff series.
the spectrum jerseys are the best thing about this season.
morey is a coward and a fraud...if he doesnt move toby and ben in the next month there is no reason to watch
toby is not movable and if i hear one more person talk about a deal involving him im going to murder
I think you are underestimating how dumb some nba gms are. there's a 20% chance they could get rid of him.

Now go to the next MAGA rally and keep your word
good win against a good team, but as frustrated and annoyed as I've been with this team this year, the worst was jo farging squirming on the ground for the loose ball, three heat guys come over to try to take it from him, all four Sixers players just standing in the corners. never been so disgusted. Seth lent a hand to pick him up and he wouldn't even take it, and I think Seth's prob his bestie on the team.
jo doesn't deserve this, I'm to the point where they should trade him to a functional organization just because they owe him so much.
weird thing to say after a nice win but they need to get out of limbo before I have any faith in winning a playoff series.
maxey looking nice though.
also I had to listen to the Celtics game in the car from philly to dc, and my god Kate and alaa are even more terrible in audio only format. such cornballs.
solid start
yep another uninspired slow start
kuzma dunk might be the hardest jo has even been dunked on.
other than playoff collins.
nice 4th quarter
bad loss
Morey needs to shake it up and get Jo some help
24 days till the trade deadline but I'm not getting my hopes up
7 points, 6 fouls, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 34 million dollars.

Looks like you'll be right. Embiid's basically playing one-on-five.
Korkmaz is a disgrace
Blew a 24 point lead! And yes he stinks.
How did they blow that?!
They were up huge when we left the restaurant and got home to see they gagged it away
Clippers have a better team? Especially with how many people Sixers had out tonight
it was kinda sad watching the final 5 minutes...joel on an island by himself with 4 terrible players. george niang and korkmaz taking big shots, that's uhhhh not what you want
morey is a tool letting this crap lineup go out there. they cant play the magic every game
also i dont know if its the audio or what but the broadcast is terrible. kate is half asleep and the crowd is barely audible. i have no idea whats going on.
yeah they're such an unenjoyable team to watch right now. for so many reasons. the terrible announcing duo definitely does not make it any better, I've actually watched opposing teams stream a handful of times lately. maybe 4-5 games this year in total that were fun to watch.
what happened to korkmaz? was starting to look like a real nba player early in the year.
doc sucks. there is no reason for kork - Niang - tobi - drummond to ever be on the court together. gotta be the slowest nba lineup in history.
Other than jojo who deserves so much better than these bums, Charlie Brown and maxey look like the only other guys even trying out there.
Charlie Brown literally started an NBA game.....think about that
good grief
the starting lineup is better with Charlie Brown in it than tobi and I don't think that's a hot take.
Gonna start a new show rather than watch this
One good thing is that even though they looked like shtein for 3 quarters, I still kinda felt like Jojo would still single handedly get the a win. Which he did. That's new this year. Get my man some help please.
jimmy rollins sitting courtside. not sure he really deserves it.

I watched all the videos posted they were just taunting him. Melo engaged them so they just took it up a notch. They kicked out a white guy and a black guy so highly doubt it was anything more than Melo being a bitch. lol at Jo in the corner holding Melo back when the fans are getting escorted out.

the guy called wip and said he called him a little boy...melo and others fed it to reports that he was called boy. other people mightve been yelling shtein. its unclear. could be a misunderstanding amplified by booze, could be a racist moron getting what's his
Well, the Wells Fargo Nazis banned him for repeated misconduct which is truly hilarious considering I've been to games where the entire crowd was engaged in similar misconduct.
I guess the lesson is never say anything that could be remotely construed as offensive. Unless you're a player calling a fan a punk ass bitch, of course, because that's just fine and dandy.
im sorry i know you are an insane person but he called a black man 'boy'
the dood he got kicked out with was black...I'm gonna say he's not racist but maybe that was his "my best friend is black" guy

that felt like a win the whole game. least annoyed I've been at a loss in a long time.
Hope I'm wrong but I don't see Benedict traded come deadline.
Trade Ben during this delay!!
all friday night games should begin at 11pm...leggoooo
Niang has been kork bad for like 10 games now
Didn't he have like 5 3s two games ago.
He's so slow at everything but so fast with getting a shot off, dude doesn't think twice. He seriously thinks he's the best player on the court.
This was his MO in college too but Thybulle is an incredible off the ball defender and getting in lanes and shtein but overrated as an on the dribble defender
Jo has been pretty awful the last two games and really bad tonight
Last month almost made me forget how bad doc is.
random thought: is amy coney barrett a complete milf or is it just me
the amount of pts Dallas has gotten at the rim tonight where jo has just spectated is ridiculous....I guess he's gassed
Danny green so cooked
what's funny is Danny done and his replacement has no business getting nba minutes.
Been all season but giving up offensive rebounds is a huge problem especially long ones

too good to be true.
Danny Green is a disgrace.
For as much as I've hated Tobi this year, he's had a pretty solid 3 weeks or so.
Really wish the Sixers had Bridges.
Goddamnit
Winnable game
Chance of Simmons-Harden going down?
And... how long before Harden blows up?
This IS Philadelphia we're talking about, after all.
I feel like common sense would say the nets losing 9 in a row makes a harden trade more possible, but who knows. I still want Lillard > harden if there is any chance.

hes staying and beal is hurt...its harden or bust
i get the feeling daryl is going to make a few small trades, something to get a backup 1 and maybe a wing and just sign harden in the summer without yielding assets. its not a terrible plan in theory but they have a window right now where jo is healthy and playing at a high level that might not exist next year
I'm not a Harden fan. He stinks in the playoffs
I know they should get more for Ben than a few months of harden but I'd be ok with it or at least I wouldn't lose my shtein like I would if they give a 33 year old about to fall off a cliff harden a four year 220+ extension
I'm ready for the Ben saga to end. By all accounts the Nets are going to get all 3 healthy, try to make the playoffs, then part ways in the offseason. I could see the Sixers making some minor George Hill type moves for a guard or maybe some rebound help. Sucks to have an mvp caliber player who's healthy knowing you're not getting past the 2nd round again.
And so it begins
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1491768936085565449 20&t=4YCTh_StPEmoZszWMQj69Q
I think it's happening today. Harden has been much less annoying to watch with the new foul hunting rules but man him and jojo together is going to be amazing at times and borderline unwatchable at times.
if they can do it without losing matisse/maxey then it's a no brainer even for a few months.
squeezing patty mills out of BK somehow would be nice too. for as good as Seth is at shooting he is atrocious at almost everything else.
its happening.
Holy shtein

Not sure how Morey pulled this off.
Also not sure how Ben is going to pass the physical with the Nets, with his crippling mental illness that has rendered him unable to play basketball.
1. farg Ben Simmons
2. I hope Harden doesn't choke in the playoffs
3. Great that Maxey and Thubulle weren't dealt
Someone should send the FBI to Moreys house bc he just pulled off a brinks job.
Ha - Legend Jim Gardner with the parting shot.
https://twitter.com/_piccone/status/1491916591549890575
it has a 5% chance of working since harden is a POS but they couldnt waste this embiid year...he was their only option...and farg it sports are fun lets go
simmons @ the center next month is elite content
What are the chances that Simmons actually plays in that game? I'd say zero.
OK, I have to admit this made me laugh.

Yeah regardless of what happens, this was a coup. Go back a few months and people were ready to accept CJ McCollum and some picks for this headcase.
On top of that Ben and Jo never really learned how to play together and Jo is better without Simmons on the court. So they are moving a guy with literally negative value to the team for Harden. I get there are picks and other players involved too, but still. The team has to maximize what it can be during these peak Jojo years, the 2027 draft can be mortgaged.
It'll be nice to watch 5 on 5 ball in the playoffs.
some of these games are going to be 3 hours with the amount of time jo and harden will spend at the line.
it's always felt natural to call our guys by their first names, jp, ben tobi, etc. but calling him James doesn't feel right.
Strip Club James does tho

ive thought about this and it really just depends on the guy...generally if its a common name you go last name but if the last name is cool that supercedes. BEN was an exception, he was always ben
for example i was saying "they cant include maxey or mattisse" in the harden deal. hes harden btw.
Harden plus doc plus jo has post season implosion written all over it
still doesn't matter the trade is whatever until they give harden the super max extension then it becomes possibly the worst in city sports history
Yeah that's what I'm worried about.
Anyways he's wearing number 1 and the jerseys pretty much sold out in an hour at the team store.
I wonder who Morey goes after on the buyout market
couple random thoughts
Since the day the city edition gear dropped the shorts have not been available anywhere and I don't understand why
jo jo is in my top 5 Philly athletes ever
multiple things can be true
-the incoming max extension for harden is going to be a franchise changer (in a bad way)
-they had to do the trade to try and win right now

Ordered in bulk (you get a discount) for resale. Added in a Maxey jersey for myself. My buddy moves them in south Philly for around $60 a jersey. Should triple my $$$$. Hopeful arrival time is under a month.
Assuming harden plays Tuesday is this the most anticipated non post season Philly sporting event since this...
https://youtu.be/ur-uCopULQw
Or am I suffering from a bad case of recency bias
that was the preseason game...but i do recall a huge thing about him just being on the field for the first time
wentz's first game and harper's were huge too. because of the lead time bryce might be bigger
well that sucks
Harden out at least thru ASB
yeah bummer. I assumed it was a fake injury but if it's real, glad he's not rushing back.
I really really wanted him to debut against Boston but I got my eye on March 2 Knicks which would be great too
would they hold him those first 2 games after the asg just to debut at home

I'll still boo him and root for him to fail but agreed is old news. Harden nailed his pc.
They're getting their asses handed to them tonight. Pitiful performance.
Wow. Seriously?
They're short handed, bostons playing well and there were a lot of distractions the last few days. Dreadful game but they'll rebound
Harden gonna ask for a trade after watching that last night.
jo passed Hollis Thompson to move into 9th on the Sixers all time threes made top 10 list.
Gonna let this one slip away eh
Wow what a turnover by Middleton
Come in close this one out
Terrible shot by Jo
Got away with one there thanks to another bad Bucks possession
Wow
Talk about lucky
Worse loss of the season followed by their best win. shteins about to get interesting.
Niang already got the memo. these dudes are going to need to start shooting unconsciously to make harden happy. maxey has been great but he will need to catch and shoot more often too if they're going to be on the court together a lot.
I can not wait until next game.

@JClarkNBCS
Source tells me Sixers will be signing free agent 7 foot center
Willie Cauley Stein on 10 day contract
He played 18 games with the Mavericks this season and was waived January 15
he can thrown down some harden oops and probably better than Bassey right now.
I don't remember being so excited for a regular season game. I guess jimmy's first game is the closest.
harden has already gotten it down to jo faster than anyone all season. and drove to the basket. and a tobi catch and shoot how about that. shtein is nice to see.
Alright...nice start.
only one half and the whole vibe is better.
"farg you too" - Doc Rivers
are they ever going to lose again
I appreciate that harden 4 point play so much more now that he's on our team.
Well, that was good.
A smidge optimistic this works
yeah harden may single handedly make tobi a good player again. couple catch and shoots, only one back down fadeaway jumper which he normally does 10 times a a game.
I'm definitely overreacting but they can do some damage now. they had that cute streak of wins when jo was out but this feels like a real team for the first time.

Last night's game was the highest-rated 76ers regular season game on NBCSP/NBCSP Plus since 2001.
Including postseason games on the network, it tied the third highest-rated 76ers game on record.
I didn't watch the game but I did watch the highlights.

I love the Sixers I enjoy watching the Sixers I've been a fan my whole life but I don't contribute much to this Sixers thread as you folks know much more than I do and have a much better pulse on the team and league than I do but God damn Todd you are correct, watching Tobi today made me spit up my morning cup of Joe numerous times.
thinking about maxey...who is the last pick by any Philly team who went in the twenty's and has this much juice around him
is there anyone comparable?
dom brown was the 20th overall pick but baseball drafts barely counts, its all about the prospect hype and that can happen to a 4th or 14th rounder
last real one i could think of is dawk. 2nd rounder who eventually became a HOFer legend
Yeah it's a tough question just cause how different all sports are....dawk is a good call but still not comparable cause a safety as one of 22 players isn't the same as 1 of five nba players...no one was raving about dawk til like year four....where as maxey was a steal from the minute he was drafted
Yeah no one would ever care about a baseball or hockey pick outside the top 10 until years later, even if they were great. As for the Sixers, they had only one pick in the 20s from 2002-2015 (Daequan Cook), so it's not like we had much opportunity to be disappointed. Samuel Dalembert was probably the best player taken in that range the last 30 years.
Mike Quick was taken #20 overall in 1982. At first the pick was seen as a disaster because Vermeil had blabbed to Chuck Knox that he was going to take Perry Tuttle, so the Bills traded to pick Tuttle right in front of the Eagles. The Eagles had to scramble a bit and took Quick as somewhat of a reach. The 82 season was the strike year and Quick only had ten catches. In 1983 he was first team all pro, which is far ahead of where Maxey is in his second year (again, 22 positions instead of five though).

Better option than the guy they picked up at k&a for 10 days
is he though? dude has been washed for 3 years.
this must be a doc thing. this person only role will be to rim run and catch some lobs from harden, anything else is a bonus. bball Paul should take those 10-12 minutes but doc needs an old head because he's stuck in his ways.
He's light years better than millsap...your 2C can't be 6'7
well yeah but bball Paul and/or Bassey should be getting some run with harden. Jordan can literally not move anymore have you seen him in the last 2 years.
Reed and bassey are absolute garbage as far as postseason basketball goes...if either of them gets a single real minute in a playoff series something went terribly haywire
there is literally nothing that Jordan can do right now better than either of those two - but yes you're right if any of them are getting big minutes it doesn't matter.
the main reason I hate this, other than my love for bball Paul, is that Jordan is a doc guy so he'll definitely get many more minutes than he should.

If he got regular minutes he'd still be a double digit rebound guy. Wcs shouldn't be on an nba team and I like Reed/Bassey but come playoff time their asses will be planted on the bench. They need a veteran big man who can get boards when Jo's on the bench.
I guess things are going well right now if this is the only thing I have to argue about.

Doc is trash so anything is possible when it comes to rotations but Jordan is almost impossible to farg up because he literally will only play for jo...he will get 9-11 minutes a game in the playoffs to spell the big guy...there is literally no other scenario where he would come in

When did JJ start doing games? He's good
Not a very good start
nobody falls for the okie doke more often than my man j
Harden has made everyone better. Except tobi. But even he is doing the hustle role player stuff they need from him. Maxey is filthy now.
Yeah I hate the slow starts but if they're gonna be a second half team then so be it. Just keep winning
https://crackedbellphl.com/collections/basketball/products/step-brothers-shirt
good vibes slowing down. jo needs a night off, this defense is atrocious so far.
Oh another slow start...no sir don't like it
even with harden they have zero chance at a title but man did i want jo to at least clock an mvp and that will be the most painful thing to their finish this year...watching the mvp slowly slip away from him...if he doesn't get hurt first
my god shut up.
maxey is their star now anyway.
hes a top 3 all time philly athlete for me...god forbid i want him to win an mvp
so you think having harden will hurt his MVP chances? I don't believe that.
give me a little odds and I'll take jo for MVP and you can have field.
no but he has non mvp type games like tonight with or without harden...jokic for example doesnt...harden will hurt him tho in the sense that he makes everyone better so no more 40 pt games for jo just because harden is going to dish to the best shot available not tunnel vision on jo...not sure how many more even 35 pt games hes has...he going to lose the scoring title for sure which will hurt

garland is the shtein but harden works so much better than anyone, including dame, beal whoever. shtein maxey will be better than garland by next year and that doesn't happen without harden.
harden is better if you are trying to win a title this year but cleveland isnt about that...and they definitely arent signing him to the ridiculous super max that they sixers will this summer
all things equal garland is far superior to maxey simply because he is a true on the ball player who can get his own versus needing a harden
I'm happy they didn't trade Maxey.
Missed the second half bc we had a dinner to go to.
ive randomly been out for most of these games since harden and it feels like 2011 phillies...people are into these games on a different level

this might be Kork's last chance. Another shtein game and he shouldn't get any more minutes.
One of the many reasons they won't win more than a round but god damn is their bench bad
Sixers really have the bulls number. not sure if I'd rather play them early and get a streak going or face them later in the playoffs.
also alaa has become such a fleshpop this year. starting to actually like him a bit more.
Our fans are ruthless. Ben's already getting heckled pretty bad

I bet they come up with some lame pregame excuse that he can't sit on the bench "for his safety."
I do give it a 50% chance that some dummy throws something though.

Harden/dhgate jerseys came in a few days ago, all gone. More than doubled my money. Perfect timing.
Is there a worse bench in the NBA than this trash?
Now would be a good time for the Phillies and Eagles to make some moves.
back after a week on the road and really just wanna watch a game tomorrow...instead theyre making the sixers go b2b road-home instead of the magic going b2b home-home
rigged
they're still shook from last game. amazing chemistry for 5 games and now it's just complete trash still.
championship teams can shake those games off. this team can not.

Game 1 with Harden they were great the other games were so so and the slow start shtein is old.
Captain obvious time but teams have them figured out. Until they start hitting open looks the D blue print is to clog the lanes double Jo and live with the fouls...which the Sixers aren't getting anymore. I think part of their play without Ben was chip on their shoulders we don't need him...soon as they got Harden they lost their edge. The second chance boards are embarrassing. They're just sloppy. Thursday should have been rock bottom but they need a rally cry.
I love Jo. He's still not above AI and Charles for me as favorite Philly athlete but he could be eventually. But I am really tired of watching him lay on the ground, slap the floor, and whine for fouls like a bitch. Man is a literal beast stop embarrassing yourself.
Harden passing up a wide open 3. Only the Sixers could deflate one of the most unconscious shooters of all time.
Luckily we got Georges who doesn't think twice.
Good God! JoJo and Beard are 9-36 combined half way through Q4?
Sit Jo and Harden tomorrow. Take the non conference L.
tonight gonna be crazy....cept no chance jo doesn't go 8-26 and joker a triple double
Kelce lol. what a stud.
damn jo came out ready today. love it.
Sixers have 4 pts in five minutes this quarter
Woof that second quarter
Yeah wasn't a doubt they'd shtein away the lead
lol doc + harden
Bench 4-24 tonight. Works every time.

You know the bench is especially atrocious when Doc actually keeps them on the bench as much as he did tonight. When Niang has a bad game they have absolutely no one who can step up. Green and Jordan are beyond washed. If bench players are going to suck that bad at least have them be 22 year olds with potential upside.
Quote from: MDS on March 14, 2022, 10:05:20 PM
lol doc + harden
Gonna be patient and see how this plays out but not feeling a Harden extension. Not sure why he's not firing early from outside. He's a 2 trick pony, dribble the ball between his legs for 2 hours then step back 3 or drive the lane try to draw a foul or throw up a floater which I wish he'd do more of. I miss midrange bball. He's constantly getting double teamed and trying to dribble out of it instead of passing the ball off. Not sure why they're not exploiting Maxeys speed and having him drive to the net to draw off the double teams. Harden loves him some Niang...he also gets too cute with his passes.
The rest of the team is either missing wide open shots or passing off open looks and pump faking. There's zero rythym. I try not to put the blame on Doc but dude needs to step up. Danny Green needs to go away.
so predictable. they had me fooled for a little bit by coming out so strong.
the play that I will not forget from the last two games is harden hesitating on a wide open 3 and passing over to Niang for the shot. the Sixers curse strikes again.
That was one of the worst quarters I've ever seen
james harden is kinda bad ?
Not that it has anything to do with these guys being losers but deandre Jordan is not only washed as farg, but also lazy as shtein. Dude can do nothing. Give bball or Bassey a little bit of run with harden. Jordan can't even finish lobs now which is 50% of his job.
Hardens mad that Maxey can actually hit a clutch shot.

yeah he's already cooked. must be something about that Camden facility.
I'm having trouble even watching these losers lately, but I watched some of last night, and every time I looked at the screen it was just Jordan complaining. I knew Doc was going to play this bum way too much.
Many more issues than that but man that pisses me off seeing him out there so much.
Jordan's awful and should be cut asap. Even worse is their rebounding. In all my years watching basketball I've never seen a team give up as many 2nd/3rd/4th chances on defense. They don't box out and establish position. Toronto is long so they just flat out embarrassed them on the glass but this is bad. They went from slow starts to fast starts and lackluster effort to follow. Dallas win was solid and tonight should be interesting
I used to be kinda joking about bball Paul but he does everything you need for 10-12 min. in a backup center. he'll make some dummy plays also but at least he goes hard on boards, loose balls, and lobs. Jordan has to be like 2 for 8 in finishing alley oops in the last 2 weeks. just guessing but he's missed way more than he's made. the lazy harden attitude is rubbing off on these guys quick.
I still think harden and jo can lead the team far if everything goes right but man some of those "lesser" packages of 2-3 guys like the Sacramento offer are starting to look better.
just wait until he gets his supermax
can't wait. the idea of him being here longer than Embiid is crazy.
remember FEDS? lol.
https://twitter.com/joelembiid/status/878036932655284224 21
so if beal doesnt get hurt they trade for him but keep curry and drummond and instead now have the corpse of james harden who is chubby and zesty
Probably the most fun game of the year. We are blessed to have Maxey.
Doc was real close to giving that game up keeping DJ in there so long.
These farging jerkoffs
Maxey is special
Helluva win. All hail Maxey and Shake
I don't give doc much credit for anything, but the plan of herro sucks on defense so lets keep going after him was very satisfying to watch. or maybe maxey just decided that all by himself but regardless, it was nice to be on the winning side of one player getting roasted time after time.

lol "Sixers attack bad defensive player" is the hot story in sixers media today. this should not be such a novel concept. just shows how terrible the coaching has been the last few years.
also guaranteed loss to the lakers old men tonight. this team can not follow up a feel good win with another.
Wenyan Gabriel lol
i honestly feel like im a better jump shooter than harden and im awful at basketball
feels like he hasn't hit a 3 in 2 weeks.
Harden, payback for your stupid flop. Will be funny when they blow this game.
Damn the Sixers stink. Bunch of scrubs slapping um' around like bitches.
Just throwing this out there: he ain't ever gonna play again
QuoteBen Simmons has yet to debut with the Brooklyn Nets due to a back injury. Last week, Simmons had an epidural injection due to the ongoing back issues.
"I think they're going to be cautious with it, but there's an expectation around the Nets that Ben Simmons will play this year," said Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee show. "It's going to be about him ramping up and feeling healthy.
"The problem with him is seeming every time he's gotten on the floor, he's had a flare up in his back. The hope is that now he's had the epidural injection last week, he feels better and hopefully whether it's in a week or whatever, he gets back on the floor and tries to ramp up."
Simmons last played in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in June.
he's a Hoyda.
ben will play again. he has no personality, emotions, etc. so he can't do anything else.
probably smart to not bring him back just for the playoffs. playoffs not really his bag.

Ginni Thomas says hi.
Simmons is a nearly perfected form of the Philly sports villain. It's like he watched decades of passive aggressive whiners like Ricky Watters, Scott Rolen, Donovan McNabb, Carson Wentz etc. and wanted to top them all.
Open shot? I'm afraid to shoot. Playing with a generational center? I'm jealous that people like him. Team losing? Someone else's fault. Team brings in other players to complement my weaknesses? I'm still not getting enough support. Coach calls me out for playing like shtein? I can't work with Coach anymore. No financial leverage? Fake mental illness. Refusing to play? How about not practicing or staying in game-ready shape while I'm out, too.
And the fans still mostly gave him a pass until this last offseason when he finally burned through whatever goodwill he had left.
This guy is the worst. We need him to come back and play so we can hate on this loser forever.
yeah I was a ben fan for longer than I should have been just because of our history of first round draft pick weirdness. I think that's true for a lot of Sixers fans. we coddled this douche for way longer than we should have.
he'll definitely be an all star next year though. haha right.
clips have a guy named Scrub. I will bet any of you he has a career high in points tonight.
Nice start. Keep that same energy.
I know there needs to be substitutes but Green and Jordan shouldn't be on the court at the same time.
I know I've been harping on DJ for weeks but every single second he's on the court makes me angry. He will single handedly lose us a playoff game.
doc is so dumb. give bball Paul a few minutes of real time please. he almost shut down Giannis for 20 minutes last year, he can do it.
Jordan is useless.

I listened to a podcast with Jackie mcmullin the other day and she was listing the most respected players of all time from her 100s of interviews with players and former players over the years. she said the most common answer of the older guys - like the MJ era - said dr. J. even more than bill Russell, etc. and the most common answer for the young guys is AI.
I did not expect James harden to be the one to slow down a painfully slow team, but somehow that appears to be the case.
even tobi slows the offense down less.
just a completely horrible game by James. man can't even make a layup anymore. he's got two moves, and neither of them work anymore.
Also Sixers were in 1st place at 5PM yesterday and 4th place by 10PM. crazy.
Not sure if this means anything but yes please.
https://twitter.com/jj_redick/status/1508538199559524353 20&t=ZgdbhwXMEKw4bE4nUG_VKQ
Even if he is only replacing Alaa, yes please.
Looks like Reddick was in Philly to interview Jo for his podcast. Oh well
yeah that was my guess. jj is more popular right now as media / podcaster than he ever was as a player. I don't see him changing up anything now.
Also Sixers favored by 1 tonight. don't seem right to me.

They would've lost anyway but the reffing for the Phoenix game was turrible
their bench is a travesty
Lol what a joke
Sometimes I hate this team...
up double digits then doc sits harden and embiid for 15 minutes and poof there goes the lead
hardens step back for the win was just sad...god he stinks
giannis scored 15 straight on old man milsap while glenn had reed & bassey glued to the bench.
it really us unbelievable how doc won't play the young Cs. I like bball Paul more than most but that's exactly when you put him in, shtein let him foul Giannis 5 times in 10 minutes if he has to. better than letting him run wild for 10 min.
also that terrible harden shot was so predictable. I actually thought it would be a 20 foot Embiid turnaround but same result.
they should be running plays for maxey to take the last shot. that will never happen though.
2nd round and out fodder. Outside possibility the entire team gets hot and makes a run but not counting on it. Only hope moving forward is they don't extend Harden and maybe package tisse (he's peaked as a player) with Tobi and pray they can get some pieces.

Wouldn't shock me.
I think the only team they would be round 1 is the bulls. Sixers are just a bad matchup for them. anyone else has a very good shot.
Bulls are like 1-18 against the top 5 teams in the league...anyone with a pulse matches up well against them
bulls, cavs, hornets and maybe hawks they beat
raptors is likely an L
nets is an L in 5 games and the philly sportsest loss ever
you can choose to care or not...doesn't change the fact that it's legit one of the biggest sporting events ever...just hope the game lives up to it...both games this year were terrible and not close
What in the world you talkin about
Losers gonna lose. These guys stink
Rounding into post-season shape, I see. :boom
They lost to the god damn Pistons.
Harden is so bad. When he first got here teams were trapping the shtein out of him but now they have realized they can simply switch a normal athletic big on him...it's embarrassing but also good in that hinkie can't possibly max him this summer
yeah, it would be tough to justify keeping harden at the max...or maybe even at all. he's been turrible.
if they crash & burn in the playoffs, i'm hoping for a completely new roster other than jo & maxey.

poor jo...stuck on this team destined for a 1st or 2nd round loss and he cant even win mvp despite doing everything in his power to get it
harden couldn't even shake markanen tonight more than once or twice.
I 100% want no part of Harden beyond this season but these records are eye opening
https://twitter.com/arxanii/status/1510440889818226692 20&t=1ix3P27o_pWrqC42OvrbOA
man is still an elite playmaker. just doesn't have the speed or ability to do the stuff that made him mvp candidate for years. still an upgrade from ben so I still consider the trade a big W for the Sixers.
I bet even at his age, he has more nba games left in him then ben does. I do not see morey not resigning him.
Im leaning towards he never plays again

seems like a wash to me...Sixers got the better player but nets get out from under the harden max and they still have a better chance of advancing farther than the Sixers.
I think it was a win win for both also but Sixers could not have done any better. I hope the harden-morey friendship will allow him to stay on less than max. doubtful but they seem to be tight.
team is really good when they're hitting shots who would have known.
If they shoot 60% from 3 in the playoffs they win it all. hot take.
Embiid leads the nba in scoring again (depending on what giannis does)
This scoring race is the wildest coolest thing I've seen in sports in quite some time
lol at that third qtr
40 points allowed
27 point lead down to 8. Feel a 4th quarter collapse coming. Already in playoff form.
They're going to lose this game. Painful to watch.
And just end the Jordan experiment. He's past cooked.
bogus ejection on DJ but glad he's gone. instead of putting in a backup doc puts jo back in lol. what a farging douche.
Can we just officially change the team name to the Philadelphia Embiids?
I know better than to get my hopes up but they're certainly starting to get better at the right time. hitting shots, and if tobi and shake can stay even close to the last week, they can definitely beat anyone in the east.
doc still sucks though and DJ will single handedly lose us a game or series.
giannis playing his way out of the race with just 5 at the half
sportswriters are idiots and they have already decided its Jokic.
the sixers without jo are a bottom 5 team...this game is living proof
lol Embiid is a beast but that was probably the best all around team game of the season. what game did you watch.
Jo 45-13-2
Tobi 17-6-5-4
Maxey 30-3-7-1
Harden 11-2-14-2
Shake 10-3-2-1
DJ - 9 minutes - negative 11 - 26 point lead down to 6 - ejected

I realize bball Paul and Bassey are not world beaters but it's a g league mvp (Bassey also could have been with enough time) that doc doesn't play because he's an old stubborn boomer. I think doc doesn't like the way Paul reed talks. doc the elitist.
So many good and bad things about that game. Doc feels like a lame duck coach at this point. He's gotta be gone.
Funny how Maxey hit more threes in a half than Simmons did in his career.
Thybulle is unvaxxed and can't play tomorrow's game or any playoff games in Toronto.
Why couldn't it have been DJ or waste of space Green.
Is there a vax for having to suffer through watching Jordan on the court? Like in right in the pupils?
Jordan is a bum.
And my opinion of thybulle is now less
I hope someone can step in and replace matisse's scoring.
But seriously I am disappointed in him. I thought there was a report earlier this year that he was vaxxed.
Unless there's a legit medical reason for skipping the vax, they should be banned from the league.
thybulle will be scoring the same exact amount of points tonite as tuesday nite
I'm in hate watch stage right now
15pt lead
GONE
At least they didn't go -15 in Jo's 5 min of rest
That hip hop Bollywood halftime show was fire.
Down at the end of 3. With Embiid out the first five of Q4, that ain't good.
farging garbage
I hate to go all Igy, but I'm fairly convinced that this team is going nowhere. First round loss seems to be their destiny.
sixers are pretty much locked into the 4 now....which gets them toronto
raps in 5
Deandre Harden with another stellar night
Taking my daughter to saturdays game. Trying to convince her to hit up the Phil's with me after.
saturday may be the last game they win all year...i think if they take that theyre locked into the 4 so then theyd rest everyone sunday
Got their asses worked by Siakam and Trent
Such a stupid team
Harden is so farging bad
also never forget Toronto didn't play two of their three best players
rest of the team is making more shots because they're getting open looks and that's directly attributed to harden.
but yeah that's all he can do right now, need more from him and he looks cooked. his % on layups has to be one of the worst in the league.
we're in for 3 more years of first round losses.
In 2019 the Sixers traded for an all star towards the end of season. finished 51-31. lost to raptors in the playoffs.
i got an email from the sixers today about playoff tickets...the last time they contacted me was in the midst of the process

I'm pretty homer when it comes to Sixers but I don't know how anyone can think this team has a good shot.
there's still chance to make some playoff noise but literally everything has to go right.
hopefully today is like last Saturday afternoon. harden can hit club risqué while the buffet is still hot.
A backup center who hustles, plays D, and can move. Imagine that.
I guess Doc taking 78 games to adapt is better than never.
Hopefully we get some 1PM Saturday playoff tipoffs. Seems to be their time.
weird scenario tomorrow
chicago is a better 1st round matchup than toronto but miami is better than milwaukee...not sure what route is better but i guess it doesnt matter
B-ball Paul is the real deal. Going from Jo to a quick active center who hustles is night and day from DJ and Milsap.
You see Harden with the open shots on tv and scream...way worse live. If I'm d'ing up in the playoffs he gets the Ben Simmons layoff treatment. He can't hit outside shots anymore. He'll definitely make his free throws though and the name and Harden "threat" is real. Even if they win a title with him this season I would let him walk.

Hope the Philly strippers get Harden's mind right so he actually does something in the playoffs
they arent winning a game in toronto...theyll be down 3-1 question is do they care enough to win 5 and avoid the L at home
I changed my mind over the weekend even before yesterday's game - Toronto and then Miami is easier than Chicago then Milwaukee/Brooklyn.
They can beat Toronto but I'm to the point where if they can't I'm glad they'll just get it over with as soon as possible. Fire Doc. Figure out next steps. But I think the Heat are the best matchup for them so this is the better scenario anyway.
Toronto in 6. Raptors are long, fast and athletic, polar opposite of the Sixers. I know the game slows down during the postseason but if I'm Toronto I'm crowding Jo, sealing lanes and letting the Sixers try to beat you with outside shots. Essentially what the nets did to perfection. Fire doc, don't re-sign Harden, package Tobi with tisse and try to get something of value.
Edited: going with Raptors in 6 rather than 5. I think this series is going to be an annoyance and one extra game is salt in the wound
Raptors giving 4.5 game 1. Anyone think that goes up or should I lock in my bet now?
I feel like I can already see how game 1 happens: Sixers come out strong go up double digits...maybe 20 pts. Fans get excited. Raptors cut the lead before the half. Siakim gets hot in the 3rd and scores 17 straight to make the comeback complete. Sixers can't rebound for shtein the rest of the game Raptors win by 5.
I can easily imagine the Sixers winning Game 1 easily and proceeding to lose the rest of the series.
I'm with Mike....Toronto in six
I doubt it moved more than a half point either way barring some injury.

This is my guess too. They smoke Raptors Game 1, which will give people a little hope and make the rest of the series more excruciating when they do eventually lose.

Scotty Barnes officially OUT
Less than an ideal start.
Oh we got some scrappin!
Let's gooooo
i would die for jo
games giving me goose bumps already. they fired up.
Nurse is a damn good coach but stop being such a bish
Yeah he's being super whiny tonight
Love how this quarter is going. Keep the fargin pressure on
Love that we got Gus on the call too
Ass whipping.
Tobi is playing well
I got tix to game 5 but there's a real chance there is no game 5. Raps tried to punch them in the face at the beginning of this game but they're just not good enough and they know it.
nba twitter hates the sixers ???
The Raps have no counter to Maxey playing like this.
If Maxey keeps this up and you get Tobi and Green hitting they'll be in the Finals
We should farging know better of course this will be a 2 point game.
Uh oh
God damn why do they do this?
Danny Green...didn't think he had that in him
Sixers D has really stepped it up in the playoffs. The Raptors are getting bunch 3's but otherwise every Sixer has committed to team D.
Lol at Nurse and Jojo talking
Hit a nice little side bet of Sixers to win by 14-16 at +500 before the quarter started.
Still have some Doc tendencies - the big TOR run when they had the huge lead made me clench a bit.
Loved Harris' and Maxey's reactions when Green dunked.

You and everyone else, but having one of Doc's bench lineups bleed away a lead when they are up by 25 or whatever in the fourth quarter isn't so bad. Toronto couldn't miss a three during that run and things calmed down as soon as the starters began to rotate back in. A bigger clench was some of the injury scares.
Doc has been fine so far but having your starters in at the final buzzer of a 15 point win is not ideal.
I'm fine with Jokic winning the mvp and Sixer fans especially Sixers Twitter are beyond annoying in acting like it's some sort of egregious act if jo doesn't win it but nothing makes me more furious in sports than the lack of attention jo gets as a defender. He should have won DPOY and it's the reason I personally would give him the edge for mvp but the fact he wasn't even a finalist is a god damn travesty.
Marcus smart winning is a complete joke. yeah he's a great defender but this is some bullshtein story line built and and spread by people like bill Simmons and the ringer douches where the DPOY needs to be on the best defensive team. smart is not even the best defensive player on his team - that's Robert Williams.
If Embiid is the DPOY and won the scoring title, it's hard to justify him not being the MVP too.

^^ :-D :yay^^
lucky to be down by ten...they runnng at embiid like I thought they would in games 1 and 2 but inexplicably didn't....he was AWFUL in that quarter against the pressure
Yikes.
Down by 17.
They have no flow and the defense sucks. Plus Toronto is nailing threes
Sixers soiling the bed like Trump tonight. Hard to watch.

If they get it to down 8 or less at the half they'll win
Not sure why but I really hate the tatt on Van Fleets left shoulder
Jo looks shook and embarrassingly unengaged
God damn
That Toronto possession where Jo tipped the ball out instead of rebounding it pissed me off. They hit a three. fargin grab the ball Jo
Sixers look lazy and bored. Playing like a 4/10. Raptors playing as good as they possibly can.
Sixers will win this
Jo needs to pass it out of the double and triple teams faster and smarter. Something seems off with him hopefully he's just saving it for second half.
He's been terrible when run at but you know what might avoid that? Doc putting him in pnr's instead on the farging deep block time after time
abysmal first half and its a 1 pt game
toronto stinks, finish this
Kate an alaa really good tonight. they've been growing on me for weeks but I guess now that's its playoffs I like the homer shtein.

That last shot...what the farg Jojo!!
lol jojo step back fade away 3...why
tobias harris is not hitting a buzzer beater. laws of the nba right there
Omgggg
JOJO!
MVP
HOLY shtein.
sounds like a mausoleum in there

Gut check win. That's a game in reverse the Sixers usually lose.
Love that man. The third buzzer beater is the charm.
joel hans embiid
That was dope as farg and I'm not complaining but Tobi making that final shot would have done wonders for him.
Also, they won but it was obvious how much they needed Harden for the first two game winning attempts. He still runs that offense.
This team gonna at least win the east.
Toronto a home playoff dog the Sixers get their first lead of the game in OT with harden fouled out and Toronto +2 doesn't cover...absolutely brutal beat

but as far as the bet i wasnt even talking about it from my perspective i was just talking about it in general and how it was an amazing beat for anyone who took toronto...i think its only the second time ever a team has won a playoff game while never leading in regulation and the first on the road

farg it all.
He had it wrapped and early in the game someone whacked him on it and he was in pain. I didn't think much of it bc he was so good but yeah that still sucks
Am I wrong for thinking that the injury happened (or at least was exacerbated) in the collision with Thybulle in game 2? He was in some discomfort after that.
I thought that's when it happened too
It was a blah game all around
Loved Doc taking a shot at all the whining by Nurse bc man that dude cries all god damn game
jo sucked tonight, harden sucks in general
hes fat and he cant finish for shtein

reports are that it happened in game 3...but i'm not sure which play.
Not a good start again.
Wake up motherfargers.
As for Simmons they're trying the mental health thing again. Look if he has anxiety or something like that they're setting him up for failure and getting ripped by saying he'd be back. Just let him work through it. However, and I'm very empathetic to mental health issues, I think he's full of shtein. After news came out that he was out for g4 he was eviscerated by everyone (again). Stephen A, Shaq, Barkley, Reggie Miller and many others whose voices resonate in the NBA blasted him. And now all of a sudden he can't play again bc of mental issues.
Please.
Daryl Morey is a fargin hero for dumping him.
Five games in and the Sixers have led after one quarter only in game one.
What the farg is wrong with this team
This is reminding me of the nets game
I'd sit harden the 2nd half
they are beyond awful
Game 6 incoming
Which means a game 7 too
Maxey needs to go off to get them back in this
Still lifeless.
This sucks
What a gutless performance.
We're on the cusp of a historic moment: first team to ever blow a 3-0 lead. It's happening
I'm going to bet the Raps to win the series after this.
I'm sick of fargin Siakam. Can ANYONE stop him
anyone who didnt see this coming has clearly never lived here
james harden is legit horrible at basketball....i swear to allah if they extend him im done
Morey is gonna extend James.
They had no fire and let Toronto take it to them. Bad shots and sloppy turnovers. It's like if they miss shots they don't get back and the Raps run on them.
theres no coming back from a blown 3-0 lead...whole team gotta go. maybe jo too
Raps are going to be +500 to +600 and I'm putting two bills on them.

Right behind you! Sixers are the lowest team on my Philadelphia Sports totem pole and now I know why. As dog shtein as they are right now you have to believe up 3-0, c'mon. With that said not one person is shocked where it's at now nor will they be in shock when they lose at home Saturday night.
My string of being in attendance for a Sixers loss continues. I can't remember the last time I was at a playoff win. Last night though was by far the worst I have even seen them play. Crowd was lit too, when they got down to 9 points it was randomly one of the loudest arenas I've ever been in. Didn't help. Matisse is worthless and that's the worst defense by Jo of his career. Thumb should not be affecting most of went wrong.
They're going to lose the series now though. Seems fitting that Doc and these guys will be the first to ever lose a 3-0 lead.
On a positive note Jay wright spending a lot of time at the sports complex this weekend. He was schmoozing around in the concourse by my seats last night. And threw the first pitch at Phils Sunday. He'll be our coach next year.
Wright would be a nice add but I think he stays retired and takes that sweet sweet TV money.
Also the Sixers price was -800 last night and down to -600 now. Raps were between +500 and +600 and now down to +450. I put $200 on them at +550.

"We now interrupt this Raptors beatdown to announce that the Eagles have drafted a small white DE with a high motor, and traded their other first round pick for Baker Mayfield."
Goddamn that post made me crack a beer already
Let's goooooooo
Please no sloppy play early on. They cannot get down and let the Raps get momentum.
I swear to Christ Toronto doesn't miss threes
The rebounding is lousy. Come on!!
Jo's D looking as bad as last game. I think he's scared to block a shot and farg up his thumb more.
Agreed. He looks tentative
Which makes the Sixers have to be better at shot selection on their end bc Toronto will run their ass out of the building
Don't like Jo shooting threes unless he has to - and he didn't have to there
Soft ass interior defense
Multiple times per game we get this horseshtein "hostile act" review
Love Jo yelling at the guys
11-0 run
Now a 13-3 run
No contested shots at all and then the Sixers are getting three happy
First degree murder on Jojo and no call
God damn they're sloppy with the ball
just realized there's no TNT in Canada which is why we've had 3 playoff games on garbage nba tv
doubtful because doc sucks but I hope they told maxey to take over with his speed. no one on the raps can keep up.

I'd still welcome a change like taking McGinnis from radio but Kate/AA have become tolerable. Kate needs to stick with calling games which she's half decent at and lay off the "Bang bang George Niang" catch phrases. Thank god she big time laid off "the beard".
Have the replay on as background, the fans and Toronto players reactions on the bench when the Sixers destroy them in the 3rd is priceless. I wish Jo would have talked shtein to drake and his douchebag friend in the green hoodie

I am not confident jo only misses one game but we can hope. I didn't realize it was his other eye. feel so sorry for the guy.
heat are banged up too though, better to be playing them than Boston or milwaukee.
If they can steal one in Miami it will make this a series. Sounds like Jo will be back in g3.
Watching the Celtics get smoked is as close as it gets to a Sixers win. Giannis against Boston is the only time I enjoy watching him play.
So who starts tomorrow - does Doc start Bball Paul or go back to DJ? I'm guessing DJ which is fine as long as bball gets a lot of time.
Sixers gonna win tomorrow. They are obviously worse without Jo but that 2 week stretch this year with jo out and Maxey became a man is the best the team looked all year.
Game should just be attack herro over and over. If he's out attack Duncan Robinson. They have some great defenders obviously but none of them can keep up with Maxey.

Saw a video of Bassey practicing. Would doc be so bold? Perhaps with nothing to lose. He might not want to admit it publicly with his matchup comments but he has to know DJ is cooked.
I'm going with the same strategy, tell Maxey to go wild. Take 30 shots if need be. Once he gets on a role he can take over games. Only player on the team other than Jo that can. Hardens not moving much over 20/10+/6 boards despite the opportunity.

Sixers gonna win tomorrow. They are obviously worse without Jo but that 2 week stretch this year with jo out and Maxey became a man is the best the team looked all year.
Game should just be attack herro over and over. If he's out attack Duncan Robinson. They have some great defenders obviously but none of them can keep up with Maxey.
Yep - these two games have to be The Tyrese Maxey Busting On The Scene Party.
Sure he's had flashes but I'd let him run wild. Push the tempo and let him go. As for the C rotation Doc said it'll be all four guys. Hopefully more BBall Paul and Bassey and less DJ and Milsap.
Also, and this is probably too much to ask for, Harden needs to be good. It's the playoffs and all and we know that's his time to get exposed as a fraud but for fargs sake dude...step up for once in your playoff career.
Jordan is starting.
Let's hope Doc has a quick book if he starts racking up the minuses
"Ah duh, me think Sixers have chance to win series. Me like matchups" - 75% of the WIP callers this weekend.

The Tisse block on the 3 he maybe grazed one blade of Herro's hair
Cut back on the turnovers and keep Reed out of foul trouble and the game might stay interesting.
The offensive rebounds are killing them.
Also they need to be better offensively in the mid range game. Too many bricks.
They get to down five and stall
Bball Paul is doing well but damn make that layup bro!
Sucks he has three fouls now
+9 with him
-15 without him
how is miami the 1 seed
their roster stinks

Yea not overly impressed. In fairness the calls are evening out. TNT does a shtein job on foul replays but Harden's getting the benefit of doubt like he did when was a scoring champ.
This officiating stinks! NBA is as bad as NFL now.
Harden was super fouled there. To call that ticky tack shtein on Matisse and not call Bam murdering Harden is stupid.
Only down one.
Let's goooooo

It's like watching Angel Hernandez call balls and strikes
Give doc credit going with the small lineup, Miami is flustered. They give up some size under the glas but what's the difference if that size isn't pulling down boards
i feel like with jo with the sixers a substantially better team? i know theyre missing kyle lowry but man, this roster doesnt scare me
Quote from: TAFKASD on May 02, 2022, 08:35:40 PM

In fairness I think it would be difficult to be an NBA ref. Fast paced game, tough to see everything clearly.
Angel being physically unable to determine balls and strikes he's staring right at, for 25 years, is an objectively bigger disgrace.
Can Jordan just foul out already?
Starting to take bad shots again
Up five to down five and just got out hustled for three farging offensive rebounds
Good grief
It's over.
What a zesty quarter. The OReb's and lousy shot selection killed them
18-7 run
4/24 from three
Green can't even get close
This would be a Sixers blowout if they could make 3s. Heat are frauds.
I was about to say that if they'd made some of their threes this is different.
They can make a run and win if they go back to that 2Q defense and nail some long balls
theyre going to get destroyed on the glass without jo but goooood god this brick fest
Ugly ass frustrating game
Winnable if they don't get stupid on bad shots and a handful of threes fall earlier
not saying they would have won with bball Paul in there but DJ played 3-4x as many minutes as he should. most of this heat offensive boards cam against him. man is getting out rebounded by Tyler hero and Gabe Vincent.
doc gonna doc.
tobi one of the only silver linings of this game.
Bassey has as many boards as DJ and has played 1 minute.
Bball has to stay out of foul trouble.
Harden was a slug...again
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on May 02, 2022, 10:00:14 PM
Bball has to stay out of foul trouble.
Yeah I don't see that happening. But he should be playing enough minutes to rack up at least 5, which unfortunately he did this time at 13 min.
Plane has DirecTV so I'm able to watch the game
Hopefully they don't make me wanna open the door and DB Cooper myself
Welp.
Here we go with getting beat on the glass and taking shtein shots.
The long shot by BBall and the off balance j by Maxey were bad possessions
Niang has been a outright disaster
you comin home cuzzo
Yessir but just til Sat AM. We will come back for longer in the summer
Seeing my sis graduate tomorrow and doing the dinner and then seeing the old lady's dad on Friday (he's coming up from Wilmington).
If we could've squeezed out another day then I'd have gone to the Phils and Mets
this weekend is gonna be like deandre jordan...a complete wash
True.
I'll take the cold tho. When we land back on Saturday it'll be 96.
Speaking of heat...if Jo was playing the Sixers are up 2-0. They're not that good
Captain obvious here but they win at least one of these with jo.
If they even had a mediocre shooting this series would be close.
And if harden didn't age himself out of league with two weeks of the trade.
And if Matisse didn't become absolutely worthless.
And if Niang and Dany Green both remembered how to shoot.
Maxey and Tobi the only good thing going.
Other than that great series.
I can't even blame this on Doc. DJ still sucks but only gave up on a few plays. They just can't hit shots. They need Jo's attitude and heart almost as much as his talent.
Danny - 3
Niang - 5
matisse -0
bball Paul - 4
korkmaz who was the best bench player - 8
team basketball.
Yep. Everybody has stunk it up. Zero shots falling at all.
Plz come back Jo
He probably should not play Friday, but since he is one of the best humans ever he will play Friday for sure.
Gonna talk to myself now because for some disgusting reason I started going through this game again and Matisse is not even good on D anymore. He went from mediocre to useless on offense, and great to mediocre on defense. Complete negative the whole time he's out there. He was never that great on ball but he used to be amazing hitting the angles and shtein, but now he's 100% just taking chances that he completely misses.
Kork took Shake's minutes because he got hot for 4 minutes during garbage time last game. Doc is such a farging idiot. I think Shake sucks but with Jo out he's one of the few people other than Maxey and sometimes Tobi that can attack the basket.
As long as Jo plays, even with the mask and an eyeball that might slip out, Sixers will win game three. I am open for bets.
Jo is out tomorrow.
Season over
Man I feel so sad for Jo. Obviously the injury is not the team's fault but I wouldn't hold it against him if he forced his way out of this cursed franchise.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on May 05, 2022, 05:20:29 PM

Season over
not definitively....he passes concussion protocol he can play....not that it really matters a this point
Well I'll hold out a smidge of hope
Looks like he was upgraded but still doubtful.
He's playing.
Let's goooooooo!
That close up did not look promising and am genuinely scared for his health.
they are a disaster when jo sits
like not even a functioning high school team
There is no reason for Kork and Niang to ever be on the court together.
I'm not a huge shake fan but I wonder what he did to get in docs dog house. He had a solid last month of the year.
Gee, never saw this collapse coming.
Sorry JJ, that glance to Tucker's face by Harden's elbow was not even close to what happened to Jojo.
What a farging play by Maxey and Jojo
We don't deserve Jojo. Or maybe Maxey.
It's on now.
Sixers in 7.
This freaking play.

Thanks for sharing! And where was the replay ESPN?
Heat are frauds.
Embiid merely taking the floor elevated the whole team. The man is a god.
when all is said and done jo might be the best philly athlete ever
Harden is just god awful

Harden is a POS

When this first dropped he was laughed at but after the whole story came out now it's seen as one of the most heartfelt iconic press conferences ever.
A little sloppy on offense for my liking.
Need Maxey to do what he did last game
james harden moves in slow motion on fast breaks
this second half will be the harden game you can feel it coming.
He's actually playing decent.
Nice half. Keep this shtein rolling let's gooooo

honestly other than jojo or maxey, jimmy is my favorite player on the court. imagine if someone chose ben Simmons and Brett brown over jimmy butler, that would be crazy.
markief Morris lol that's gotta be one of the more embarrassing stuffs of the year. man got smashed then slid on the ground for a bit.
Plz tell me you guys say that dude full on asleep sitting court side under the basket
Yeah Jo wrecked Morris.
Jimmy took over that quarter. Gotta keep him at bay bc he's the only one who can score right now for them

Don't like this start.
Butthole is dominating and the Sixers shot selection again is trash early on. And here some the turnovers
farg!
Goddamn 9-0 run bc of turnovers and shtein ass shots
These slow road starts are sickening.
You had to know Miami was coming out hard. But here we are
This is not going well.
Errands anyone?
That's what Jimmy is doing to the Sixers right now.
What a shtein ass start
They must have been out in south beach last night, slowest they've looked in a long time.
Can't shoot again.
This sucks
Niang is useless lately. Kork would be an upgrade right now and he is also trash.
Yep. Niang hasn't done Jack
May as well let Kork launch a few.
My neck is sore watching all these threes clang off the rim like a superball
35% shooting
7 turnovers
Lousy passing
Lousy shots
Game 1 and 2 all over.
If they can get it under 8 or below at the half they have a chance. Anything bigger and it's curtains
only thing giving me hope is they should be down by way more. heat just not that good.
BBall with an and one
Matty is sitting in his crib pantsless with his jersey on

Dedmon play was not even a foul, just a freak play. Going to be more of them since most of Jo's body is broken right now.
so glad jo got fired up about the mvp and dropped 50
hes a cripple and everything but jo is a disaster right now, bringing the whole thing down with him

how do you not come out hyped for a game 5 playoff game when all the momentum has shifted to your side. I just don't get it.
embiid gotta be in his feelings over the mvp, chuck is right
mopey bitch
that or most of his bones and tendons are currently broken.

WebEmbiid lol never heard that before.
homer sixer fans frothing at the mouth to defend jo...gross
It was the Sixers' worst postseason loss since Julius Erving and company dropped Game 1 of the 1982 Eastern Conference Finals to the Celtics by 40 and Joel "sniffles" Embid got blownout by Toronto in Game 5 by 36 in 2019.
Not one of those coaches or players deserves any defending
They stunk. All of them.
1. embiid breaks his face and thumb
2. he plays very well in g3 and g4
3. he doesnt win mvp
3. he plays like garbage in g5
4. a basketball skims his face
5. he continues to play like garbage
but but but hes hurt hes hurt cry homer sixer fans
Wasn't Giannis hurt last year in playoffs basically playing on one leg? C'mon Jojo, big boy pants time.
i love me some jojo but he can't have one of his mopey games in f'n game 5 of a 2-2 playoff series. that was embarrassing. losing is one thing...but giving no effort inexcusable...especially for a guy considered as an mvp candidate.
I still don't understand how a team with momentum can come out so absolutely uninterested.
fire doc now and maybe get rid of morey before he signs harden long term then bails himself like he did in Houston.
i used to be worried they would but they arent signing harden....well at least not to the super max....he will opt in for this upcoming season and then be reevaluated next summer and if he looks as cooked next season as he did this year or in theory even worse he aint gettin shtein
I mean yeah word on the street is they had a wink wink deal like that when the trade happened.
I'm just getting worried that harden's stepback comes back for the last 3 games of the years and he fools people.

Last night was a kick in the balls. We saw it in game 5 at Toronto in 2019 with the "poor me, i have a head cold, mommy hold me" momemt but last night was just shocking. Really was a bad look.
How we feeling boys?
Game 7 coming?
does it matter?...i mean you really wanna watch a sweep against either boston or milwaukee
I would like to watch my favorite team play more playoff games, yes.
They'll probably win tonight because of the home crowd. Unless they drastically cut back on turnovers, Heat offensive rebounds and someone gets red hot from 3 I can't see them winning a game 7. Next round they'd get crushed by the Celtics but I think they could turn the Bucks into a series.
Should they give Matisse more run to match up on Jimmy?
Hopefully they have the energy tonight. Play some goddamn defense and let's go.
Maxey can be the difference maker. Let him run. And whether it's him driving or feeding th ball to Jo they can't be settling for long ass jumpers
If they pull this off and win the series, JoJo looks gassed (again), obviously the broken face and rubber band thumb on shooting hand aren't helping - next round could be a complete utter disaster.
Harden can kiss my ass.
Jojo o25.5
Tobi o14.5
Sixers 1Q -1
Sixers ML
Sixers o104
That's what I bet on for tonight. Let's farging go. Game Seven Sunday!
Charlie Manuel is courtside wearing a Maxey jersey
Uh oh
That's a bad look for Green
What a farging horseshtein call on Harden.
That is garbage
Just terrible vibes yet again. This could get ugly quick.
mattisee covid shots vs points challenge
Tell me they were booing Tucker and not Jimmy B.
it's crazy how just no one guards Matisse it's just an automatic double on every harden or jo touch
Jojo already looks like he's close to being on empty.
Bad passes and lousy defense
We need lil guy to go Tanya Harding on Herro.
These refs blow
That was a shot clock violation
They will reverse it during the break
Niang is the worst defender on team with harden maxey Milton and korkmaz....that's how farging disgusting he is
Feels like they should be down 20 so I guess that's promising
Well said Hubie! "The hustle of Miami on defense is something special". Sixers standing around like their watching their car go through the car wash.
Miracle this is only a one point game.
Without Herro and Strus they ain't shtein.
That high pick and roll and high handoff/screen where those two launch threes has to be defended better.
Also the Sixers are getting out rebounded again.
Please don't get smoked in the third
embiid looks 2 steps from death
they have no prayer in g7 and a moderate prayer right here
They've thrown in the towel
Their defense is shtein
This is annoying
Yeah luckily harden semi remembered how to play again because jo is checked out for the year. I don't blame him playing with these nerds

Welp.
What a loser team they are. Awful body language. Awful energy. Sloppy and lazy play.
Just farging terrible
This is worse than quitting
Shake Milton is keeping this team alive. It's offically over.
Shake and bball the only ones who have been doing hard the last 2 games. Pathetic.
Sure looks like it didn't effect that horrible shot.
Jo 6-20, yikes.
Oh my God what a horrible last few offensive possessions! Being down 11 is a minor miracle as that was one of the worst 12 minutes of basketball all season.
Why do they keep passing it to Jo way outside and he stands there forever and launches piss poor shots?
Jesus Christ.
He's getting tripled. Find an open guy somewhere.
Wow.
Disgusting, pure 100% no heart, weak ass effort.
1983 - I may be one of the few besides Geo and Romey that remembers it. Every year it's harder to see it through the fog and mist from the fumes of shtein this piss poor organization emits.
Gotta love Hubie - "look there's a lot of time left" Maybe if your Boston, GS, Memphis, Bucks but not with this group.
Since he said that Miami has increased the lead.
Well at least we didn't have to sit through a close game 7 loss.
Doc should be fired tonight just out of principle.
YOU EFFORTLESS fargS! INEXCUSABLE! I thought losing to the Nets in 84, the choke job against the Hawks were my two lowest points as a Sixers fan. This is right up there. Not the loss as this team wasnt going to win shtein but this pathetic lackluster display.
I'm not sure what was more frustrating, last year or this year. It's close.
last year was a gag that basically destroyed the franchise
this year they werent good enough at any juncture
last year was much worse cause it was the hawks...they weren't beating Miami with a healthy embiid...but I mean neither is really bad because they had zero chance of going to the finals in either year...I personally don't get upset if any of my teams have zero chance to win it all...I need at least like a 10% chance
Impotent.
Fire Doc.
And anyone who thought Harden was good didn't watch him previously. He farging sucks.

That's nonsense there is a 90% chance the heat don't win a single game against bucks or Celtics. They are not that good. I actually think this year annoys me even more than last year. These last two games were just unbelievable and leave a horrible taste in my mouth. At least least year we could blame it all on ben but now we can blame it on every one of them except for maxey.
Not to go all boomer but I can not fathom how you play in the playoffs with so little heart or effort.
they are going to lose and they could get swept but I don't think so like the Sixers would...I can easily see Miami taking either team at least 6....they can shoot rebound and play d with anyone...these are three fairly important things the Sixers suck at...they are number one seed for a reason
Brainstorming for next season: Any chance the Knicks take Tobi/Thybulle/Springer/2nd round pick for Randle plus filler (Kemba).

I don't think he is but it's arguable...I have league pass and watch a lot of Knicks...Randall is not good and on top of that is a bad dood
He definitely is and he's an enforcer. They need a PJ Tucker/Marcus Smart type player with some balls. Contract is way better too. There's always Beal but not sure how they fit him in assuming Harden opts in. Saw a rumor the Rockets might be interested in bringing him back. C'est la vi
over under on number of games you have ever seen him play might be 5?
He literally the opposite of an enforcer...he has the body but plays soft and I'd much rather have Tobis deal with two years left than Randall's at four years especially cause at best they are a wash as a player again I think Tobi is better but whatever it's close enough to not even think about doing it
randle is garbage so no.
also I don't know how you can blame any of this on Jo. there is no chance any of this has anything to do with him not winning mvp. man is broken 5 different ways and it's gotta break you down a bit when everyone around you is a bum. he's a farging stud but yeah he looked broken the last 10 days.
next year should be jo and maxey and whatever they can get for anyone else, which is probably not much.
Jo did what he could. He has to stay healthy though and for the love of god stay on your feet. He falls more than anyone I've ever seen on a court.
Harden is coming back unfortunately. At $47m
I'm ok with Tobi coming back
Maxey should take a bigger step next year to being dominant
Kork, Niang and Matisse are trash. And what the hell happened to Matisse? He could at least lock down on defense but he can't even do that.
he could never really lock down...he is a great off the ball defender in terms of anticipating steals and also is uncanny getting blocks as a secondary defender especially from behind but he is average as an on the ball defender
yeah he's actually a below average on ball defender and I said that before I started hating him. his hitting the angles and getting steals are so good that everyone glossed over all of the times he tried to make a dumb block / steal and missed. he gets burned one on one very often. but now he's not actually making any of those risky plays which makes the other plays less impressive.
but if he would have just gotten vaxxed I'd still be a fan.
damn so I didn't see the video yet but jojo said harden is not the same player he used to be? I dig it. He should have the authority to make even decision about this team.
"Tobias Harris over me?" God I love it!

Over. They need to move on from Tobi.
Quote"Julius has been big for us all year," Zo said afterward. "He's pretty much the enforcer for our team, both offensively and defensively. We kind of just give him the ball and he does what he want to do, throws guys around and gets the ball in the basket."
Bottom line is they're soft and need to get tougher and more athletic (bench). Not sure what other moves they can make (that's why I started my post with "Brainstorming") with limited assets but going into next season with this same set of starters and god awful bench we know how this story ends.
you are dying on a hill you should not be dying on
Tough loss, boys. Sorry.

QuoteIf the Sixers off-load Tobias, and Harden agrees to a team-friendly contract structure, Ramona Shelburne reports that the Sixers can open a MAX slot.
How do these people think the Sixers gonna offload Tobias?
Also if somehow that miracle happened, how about a couple role players who can both defend and shoot instead of another max?
Yeah give me guys who won't shy away from a rebound or can actually defend a bit

he only has two years on his deal...it wouldn't be the easiest deal ever but he's definitely moveable
hmm I guess I wasn't really thinking there are only two years left, that's a good point. I could see some team that doesn't attract good FAs like Indiana or something maybe giving up a package of roe players for someone like tobi. maybe they can still snag a sexton and love combo or something.
https://twitter.com/JClarkNBCS/status/1537470821677125632 20&t=WiskXQ0XFfQxuNB-GRQRvA
Supposedly a 3 year deal which gives the Sixers and Harden flexibility but not at the max. Hopefully makes him easier to trade
https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-pj-tucker-nba-draft-free-agency-20220621.html?outputType=amp
Supposedly a lot of interest in Tucker. Definitely need the toughness but he's 37
Lots of chatter about Thybulle/#23. Nobody wants Tobi
PJ is cooked
yeah they need PJ from 5 years ago. which means they'll probably get him now.
unless they can pull off a tobi trade tomorrow, I'm fine with them just sitting pat and picking. there's a couple guys there that could already be a 6th or 7th guy. I like Lidell from OSU but since almost every mock has him going to Sixers, that's not happening.
Not down with trading Matisse at his absolute low. He's still elite at some things they need. Trash at others but better than nothing. If he's like a kicker to a bigger trade then fine I guess.
Just don't trade Maxey
Rubin is selling his 10% stake and Rick Ross wants to buy it.
As for tonight I think I want Agbaji
eric gordon?
he's old too but jojo probably gonna retire in 2 years anyway so sure.
More like Nobaji
Booooo
I'm still going Lidell for Sixers. actually surprised he's still around.
I would not hate Jaden Hardy either though.
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1540156399723978752 20&t=KPWlKfvArDLPUSHqeSMVbw
Green in that trade too. Guess they're playing wingless next season
melton definitely good player, at least he can run an offense, but honestly would have liked Lidell or even the guy Roddy that Memphis just drafted.
getting bridges - Zaire vibes from this trade.
Melton is a Morey guy
Let's see what happens
the last morey guy is working out really well so far.
Fantastically.
Can't wait for next season when he looks like he could play DT for the Eagles and just dribbles until he loses the ball and watches a team get a breakaway
what a snoozer of a draft. still a couple solid wings available that could be helpful.
do we know if Danny was involved in that trade? I hope so but he wasn't;t mentioned when silver officially announced it.
so it looks like PJ is down to Sixers or Nets. will be nice to burn the nets but I just can't get excited about this. they definitely need a dog like him and his attitude will hopefully rub off on some of the soft babies but I'm pretty meh on it. not really going to move the needle much for them.
What I'm reading is 3 years $30 million Sixers is a virtual lock. How they get the space is still
unknown but I think Harden opts out, signs a 3 year deal for less than the vet max next season freeing up the available space. Irving's probably going to the Lakers and Durant is going on the market. Tucker would be great on a one year deal but 3 years is Horford level assanine.
yeah pass on having pj tucker until he's 40.
and I have no faith in harden taking less to help the team.
Daryl is recreating the Rockets
3/30 for old ass PJ Tucker?
Come on
great job, Susan Sounds like its really paying off Im impressed and what the heck was wrong with your neighbor- that would have messed up my cycling mojo for sure.
Keep it up- I like reading about your progress
How the hell did a bot get through your signup process GfF? :-D
WTF lol
That account actually signed up 8 years ago.
I enjoyed their Hello. And bye. post back in 2018
Looks like Hardens taking a cap friendly deal which opens up the $10.5 mle and $4.5 ble.
He gets a lot of shtein and much of it is well deserved but he's already 100x the teammate Simmons ever was.

this is Philly sports in a nutshell....who is less garbage
watch harden sign somewhere else now.
Not happening but anyone know how much cap space that would open?
Trade Harden for KD. Championship.
Let's get this out of the way: KD says he wants to be a sixer, do you part with Maxey (and other players obviously)?
love sweet maxey to death but yes.
Signed Danuel House.
Morey really falls in love with guys and can't let go. Harden, Melton, House, and probably PJ.
we're now the 2017 rockets. in 2022.
When House was here I thought he'd turn into a decent role player
6:38PM, Sixers FA is over unless there's a tobi trade.
House, Tucker, and Trevelin Queen (lol)
I did just remember that PJ is besties with KD though.
I watch an above average amount of the NBA and I've never heard of Trevelin Queen.
3 years $33 million guaranteed for 37 year old Tucker. I like the player but that contract is absurd.
So PJ Tucker for $33M?
It could be worse I guess.
Yeah it's dumb.
$33m for a hard ass who is there to baby sit

I'm not defending the signing but you have no idea how little 11 million a year is in the NBA
action starts at 7 tonight against the grizzlies. gonna see bball Paul body some little kids.
also just noticed there are only 4 teams in the salt lake league lol. 3 games and straight into Vegas.
I'm surprised the Utah league is still a thing at all. Feels like it's been on life support for a while.
summer league is for people who watch the 7th inning of spring training games and the 4th qtr of nfl preseason games
I would watch summer league over a playoff baseball game. summer league is the best.
As expected it Bball Paul and a bunch of jabronis. Bassey looks like trash. Springer can prob be a very end of the bench guy if his shot gets better. I used to have faith in Isiah Joe, his shot looks so pretty, but unless he kills Vegas he prob doesn't make the roster either.
Grizz got a bunch of fatties playing. But their guards can't miss .
this Utah league is a joke but bball Paul vs Chet should be fun to watch tonight.
the harden deal couldn't have worked out any better for the Sixers...just incredible and mad kudos to the beard
yeah I didn't believe he would do it. good thing to because watching these summer league games there is no on this squad who should get meaningful minutes on the real team. Isiah Joe and maybe Charlie Brown prob the only two who will even sniff the roster.
I thought maybe Bassey could be a 3rd center but man has been straight garbage even against these scrubs. springer is just not an nba talent - what a waste of a pick on that guy. assuming queen will make the team but he's looked super disappointing also. and why does champagnie already have a 2-way contract? doesn't make sense. he complete doo doo.
Beard re-upped 2 yrs/$68.8M. W/player option for 23/24.
got bless Michael Rubin. You know harden is getting tens of millions in some kind of Fanatics deal and I love it.
New arena coming in 2031 too.
Cool. I hope I'm still around to not be able to afford to go to a game there.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34274259/philadelphia-76ers-13-billion-project-calls-downtown-arena-2031-32
man the sports complex is perfect, easy enough for both city people and bridge and the tunnel crowd to get there. being in center city is kinda cool but could be a disaster depending on where.
I heard 8th and Market. I hate the idea of their stadium being located in Center City. Why? There's a sprawling massive area of sports complexes in an accessible area. Why jam one in center city. Also what's wrong with the WFC aside from the Flyers play there.
I bet they just bulldoze Chinatown and build it there like they did here in DC. Yay gentrification.
Off a few blocks if this is accurate
QuoteThis location would be on Market Street between 10th and 11th street. They would have to demolish a block of the Fashion District Mall, formerly The Gallery, to make that happen.
https://6abc.com/amp/philadelphia-76ers-new-arena-fashion-district-76-place-sixers/12064802/
QuoteThe effort would be privately funded and is anticipated to cost $1.3 billion.
"We are not seeking any funding from the City of Philadelphia," the developers say.
This should be the standard going forward. Lurie held the cities feet over the coals for funding the Linc now dudes a multi billionaire.
Nah it's going to be below that....I bet it goes up in a parking lot at like 9th and the south side of market....I think it's amazing.....imagine rolling out of a hotel going to the oyster house and then walking six blocks to the game instead of having to get a Lyft down to the god forsaken sports complex
I drive and park like a normal person
you drive to trash....eagles and Phillies are the tailgate people...sixers deserve better than that wasteland
10th & Market according to the article.

Usually go to xfinity live, south Philly to my buddies or somewhere in the wfc to pregame. I'm excited for a basketball only facility. The Flyers can have the wfc I just hate the location and see no need to shoehorn a stadium into an already heavily trafficked part of the city. But I guess Philly wants to copy ny/msg.
The east side of market is shtein til you hit olde city
I like the idea is stadiums in cities - but just for baseball and basketball/hockey. Even though our sports complex is nice because it's all right there - walking out of a ballgame and going bar hopping or grabbing dinner and then walking to your hotel or whatever is nice.
And yes private funding is the way to go. I respect them for that. States and cities need to stop funding stadiums.

this is the consensus reaction from the suburbanites though its much more coded in or outright bigotry. you can take a train itll honestly be easier and cheaper.
i think its great. like havas mentioned that area is crap. between 13th st where the macys is (and my agency's office that i worked out for a whole 2 months pre covid) and IDH, its mostly garbage. discount stores like marshalls and ross, chainish places like iron hill. nothing that anybody would ever want to go to. now they have something. not only that, id assume theyre going to close off market between 9th and 11th, maybe the 00 block of 10th, as well. that will be cool to go to/come out of a game to a packed city street and not a dumpy parking lot. you can set up vendors and different shtein on the street, people will be out hustling with pretzels and weird philly shirts. cant not like that.
god forbid if they even a title imagine the scene
I must be one of the few who loves taking the regional rail into the city. I'd pimp you out for enough cash to build one in this godforsaken city.
I take it from Paoli and love not having to drive down and worry about parking and traffic.
I hate Philly's public transit system. I like leaving and getting in my own vehicle and going home rather than catching a train then driving from the station. No reason to add extra steps in your commute. I'd hope Philly would upgrade their public transit system to meet the demand but I'm not holding my breath.
you can drive to FTC and take the blue line right to the arena, its 10x easier than schlepping down to the center. people are so used to their cars.
septa does suck royal dong but ive never had an issue leaving a phils/eagles game...they always got mad trains and expresses. they have 10 years to prepare for this but im sure theyll mess it up.

this whole center city thing is a farce anyway. they're putting the new stadium in Camden and are only doing this so they can say we tried but the city wouldn't cooperate.
I'll never go to a game again if they move out of the city...I might not even watch one

a s jerz arena would be a boon for the flyers but id have to think it would hurt the sixers...most of their ticket buyers are city folk or main liners (i.e. jews). people shooting down from work. among the suburbanites in jersey, there cant be a ton of nba fans
im with you id never go to one ever

Kevin Durant has interest in a trade to the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell Ian Begley of SNY.tv. Durant was previously focused on the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat, who each likely lack the assets necessary to trade for him.
The Celtics and Brooklyn Nets engaged last month on a trade centered around Durant for Jaylen Brown.
The Nets have sought the inclusion of Marcus Smart, who Durant would like to play with if he's traded to the Celtics.
Brown has been the best single player offered to the Nets in a trade for Durant.
The Sixers would have to include Tyrese Maxey in a trade for Durant along with some combination of Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle and other assets. The Sixers already sent a number of assets to the Nets as part of the James Harden trade
On the one hand he's one of the best basketball players ever and gives the Sixers their single best chance at a title with Embiid...on the other hand I'm growing sour on getting rid of Maxey and Durants a funhole.
I hope the decision is up to Jojo and Harden. Would be tough giving up potentially 10 years of Maxey but I guess if it can happen you gotta do it. He's also missed more games to injury than Jojo over the last 3 years.
No to Durant.
If Sixers say no KD wins a championship with Boston next year.

Bingo. The Sixers would be absolutely foolish to not make such a move if it was viable (and I doubt that it is viable). But as a fan the likability gap between Maxey and Durant would be huge.
Durant's played 42% (90 of 219) of the possible games in the past three seasons. He's fragile, a diva, and will be 34 next season.
The talent is undeniable... but is it worth losing a young, improving player?

Exactly, IF he wasn't turning into a chandelier and fragile as ever, hurt all the time and IF he wasn't such a douche, hell ya, all in. Boston is so much closer to an NBA title than the Sixers choking ass. KD could play on crutches and C's still stand a great chance of taking it all next season.
if there is any possibility of it actually happening, morey will pull the trigger. I don't know his nerd math but he's always saying his goal is to have the highest % of winning the championship. I feel like he said that great Houston year they were at an 11% or something. this team would be even higher than that.
I love maxey but he ain't holding this deal up. I still think jo retires in like 2-3 years anyway, so all in now.
Why was the Kincade show talking about trading Embiid for Durant this morning (7am or so)? Seems... implausible.
That's farging dumb.

When I heard it, it was one of the hosts. Jamie Lynch, I think. The full panel discussed it for a few minutes, though.
Basically were tossing Maxey and then Embiid.
lol that ridiculous. but literally the entire rest of the team, sure.
Melton was tearing up the Drew League last weekend. Pretty fun seeing a new Sixer ballin out against really good players.
