jesus new uniforms are so farging fappy
I was up close and personal with the boys last night a few rows from the court. granted preseason game one doesn't mean dick but:
1. jahlil is the truth. dude could crush my skull in a second. would put money on him being ROY.
2. nerlens is still a trainwreck with the ball in his hands. may eventually be on one of the all-defensive teams but there has been zero improvement in his offense.
3. hopefully they will learn how to work together but jahlil and nerlens do not look good together. when NN drives the lane for one of his patented thad young spaz moves, jahlil literally has to jump out of the lane, leaving no one to grab the board when it doesn't go in. and it doesn't ever go in.
4. jakarr looked way better with hair.
5. new unis are farging awesome.
6. this team is hot garbage and may somehow be worse than last year.
the end.
with his new do, i thought jakarr looked like a special needs lebron.

nerlens looked a lot better around the basket last night. i think he's starting to develop a little bit of a back to the basket game. a few times last night he used a drop step and showed some touch
evidently there is a preseason game on thursday....gonna freelance it
my goal is to see some dong in the locker room. any size requests?

yeah I didn't see it and I suspect matty was rip roaring drunk cause everything ive read says nn's offseason work has appeared to have improved his offensive game quite a bit....he even hit 5-6 from the line
also no chance they have less wins than last year
i don't know about less wins because their point guard situation is horrible.
i know he was a scrub but i wish they would have kept ish smith over canaan
point guard was horrible last season.......short of injuries if they don't win more games with an improved covey and nn plus the additions of jah and staukus then brett brown should be fired and im his biggest fan
I assume you liked mcw and even if that's the case his subtraction does not offset those additions in terms of w/l....he sucked
what's improved about covey?
also, don't call him covey.
second year starting in the nba....being coached up...he was a really good 3 pt shooter last year with zero post presence on the team....now with jah I would expect him to bust out
I mean jesus they went from henry sims to jahlil okafor....whatever you think about jah that should be a monster upgrade
I could see them being really terrible for the first couple of months as they integrate the new guys...especially an inside threat who cant run in jah....but if they don't improve and win 20+ games this year something went horribly wrong
i'm reading everywhere that NN looked good too. i mean i was drinking and walking around a lot so i'm sure there were some nice plays i missed but looked like same ole spazzy nerlens on offense to me. he has the thad-young off balance layup brick down pat.
i love the dude but he is a mess with the ball. i noticed a lot of miscommunication between him and jahlil yesterday too, like no you go, no you go kind of stuff.
they are going to be really fun to watch though.
has igy done a 180 on Jah?
nope....he has huge limitations in this league...specifically on defense....could never be a 180 anyway because I never said hed be a flop or anything....I just didn't want him out of the guys at the top of the draft
but better than henry sims?....god yes
you've done a 90 on him
Hearing the new color commentator is a guy currently doing it elsewhere and he played for the Sixers for about two weeks 20 years ago. Also hearing Dei might be cutting back on CSN coverage like Leslie Gudel did

They might change their minds, so I can't say it's a done deal yet, but his initials are the same letter. Supposedly their first choice agreed last week to do it then bailed the next day
large edward bein all dramatic. :-D
only color guy i can think of with matching initials is fat lever. i guess it's possible he played for the sixers for a few weeks. but i think he's also in the SAC front office so that wouldn't make sense.
unless this guys a broadcaster for something other than NBA?
he was also the shtein in nba one-on-one for gameboy in the early 90s.
If you look at the rosters in 1995, you'll see AA and GG. One of those
ha...got it.
i always get him confused with the dude who was murdered at sea.
why is easy being so cryptic
first off, absolutely nobody cares about the sixers color guy. theres been 0 reporting on it. on top of that, theres no way this can come back to you...this place isnt real and its not even proven that easy is a real person

this kid who doesnt have cable is first off 28, im old. secondly i never miss a game because of something called streaming.
anyway j hinkie talked last week and is not speaking after a preseason game
I'm hoping that Eskin shows up and Hinkie hungry hungry hippos him. That'll liven up a PS game for ya.

Everyone has Twitter now so all the shtein is already out there and I don't feel like I need to impress anyone. I did hint at the Miles Austin signing on EMB before he was in for a visit, but it's farging Miles Austin so who cares.

im obviously bored and this game is horrible, so i just watched furkan aldemir when he was on the court
this dude is hysterical
incredible comeback
Scottie Wilbeken for president.
Jordan McRae is hot garbage.
I'd like to see Christian Wood get some more run.
Even the white uniforms are butter.
Nerlens had a hilarious flop on a hip check from some dude.
Jah's dad looks like he is in his 20s. I sat by him in DC the other night but had no idea till they talked about him tonight.
Fun win.
his pops was the star of the ncaa tourney
alaa did an OK job. obviously too early to tell but i have a feeling he's too prim and roper to be a philly fan favorite.
he's been very good on college basketball for a long time....he did a ton of big five games and always raved about philly bball and the palestra which is why I'm guessing they hired him ..but yeah he's not Malik rose....much more like a Steve mix
Patiently awaiting lil guys hot takez
"He hasn't played well in preseason yet"
-Brown on Furkan
Otherwise all I have are observations about stuff away from the game, like molly sully's boob in my face. i really didnt pay attention to the game.

some highlights
-harris is still in on hinkie, but others within ownership are growing impatient
-brown and o'neill were caught off guard and not happy with the mcw trade
-hinkie is a hypocrite for trading mcw
-embiid is fat and lazy
-embiid is insubordinate
-saric doesnt have a buyout after year 2 of his euro deal
-saric isnt coming over until 17-18, if that
-hinkie cant even talk to saric
-hinkie isnt drafting players that fit browns system
-even though this team sucks and is trying to lose, theyre going to blame the losing on brown
Here's the money line:
QuoteThe Sixers' mantra under Hinkie has been "trust the process," but with the process having led to a still ill-fitting roster, a ton of losses, and a growing sense of distrust within the organization, it's fair to wonder just how much longer this can all stay together before some very real changes are mad
http://www.si.com/thecauldron/2015/10/16/philadelphia-76ers-sam-hinkie-joel-embiid-brett-brown-process
finally some positive vibes from minieskin.
Whoops.
Quote(Ed. note: The original version of this story stated that Saric did not have a buyout clause for after the 2015-16 season.)
i read that yesterday....its pretty silly
how can a guy who is never going to play for the franchise be holding them back...bash the end result of embiid the draft pick...that is fair...but lol at him having anything to do with the team moving forward
saric 100% has a buyout after this year.....thats just flat out wrong...
pretty much hack writing all around...all stuff that is either wrong or regurgitated

instead of battling for an 8th seed & 1st round playoff exit every year, hinkie blew the team up & drafts the player with the highest ceiling player regardless of position every year in hopes of finding a superstar/frachise player or 2.
there's my article.
my article would be that sam hinkie has been there for less than two and a half years....it takes one year to blow up a franchise and im pretty sure it takes more than one and a half years to build one in the nba
everyone knows this....even people utah
this is not year eight...shtein its not even half way to year five....the team has played 164 games under sam hinkies watch
and theyre still 3 years away from being 3 years away

The one thing I don't understand is people being upset over flipping MCW for a first rounder. Like, was MCW making Sixer games watchable? Was he going to be a key piece of a championship Sixer team? How many wins do you think that guy who cant shoot was really worth? Top 5 protected first rounder is the most he's ever going to be worth.
Quote from: QB Eagles on October 16, 2015, 02:21:35 PM
The one thing I don't understand is people being upset over flipping MCW for a first rounder.
its not really people....its the sixers PR department because they had that huge promo campaign based around MCW set to roll the day after he was traded....thats why scott oneil was so pissed.....then its also the lil guy and the king
what hilarious is the lil guy complaining that hinkie isnt getting players that fit BB's system then also saying the mcw trade was a mistake....mcw is about as opposite a BB player as you can get
its not the move, its hinkie doing whatever the farg he wants without keeping key people involved in the process
you never want your president and coach to be blindsided by a trade or a thought of a trade. hinkie is an insane paranoid nerd who probably didnt even tell the dorks he has in the front office that he was going to trade mcw.
this is not a healthy way to run an organization
i agree hinkie is much like chip in that he has the ultimate power and thinks hes the shtein and should be a better communicator but no chance BB cared that MCW was traded...that was all oneil and the marketing dept.....BB did not like MCW at all
I know its only pre season but I have to mention this just because ive never seen anything like it in an nba quarter
bullets are 15-17 from the floor with 13 assists

QuoteOne of the allegations made in the article was that Sixers majority owner Joshua Harris did not want Joel Embiid to travel to the Las Vegas Summer League.
"There are several portions of it that are wildly inaccurate, that being one of them" Brown said, referring specifically to Embiid traveling to summer league. "I have no idea what that means or why it was said.
The part that seemed to upset Brown the most was the timing of the article. Joel Embiid's brother, Arthur, passed away after being involved in a motor vehicle accident last fall. The event was not mentioned in the Sports Illustrated article that detailed his alleged insubordination.
Today was the one year anniversary of his brother's passing.
"The thing that upsets me probably more than anything is you look at Joel Embiid and he lost his brother on this day last year, and the article comes out today," Brown said. "It's just wildly unfair with some of the accusations as it relates to now."
"This story is old. It's been documented," Brown said. "So to all of a sudden wake up and have these things be revisited, I think in some ways is unfortunate and sad, particularly because of the timing."
Sixers head coach Brett Brown, who noted that Embiid is in good physical shape at this stage of his recovery process, is proud of the progress Embiid is making.
"I'm proud of where Joel Embiid is at. He's had a rough few years," Brown said. "He will get there. We're moving him forward, and more importantly he's moving himself forward."

QuoteRepublican presidential candidate John Kasich threw some shade at the Philadelphia 76ers this morning, and the team didn't skip a beat firing back on Twitter minutes later.
Speaking today a small town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, Kasich said he ran into the basketball team at his hotel this morning.
"How did I know who they were?" he said. "They were really tall, okay."
He told the business-focused crowd about the importance of job skills, then jokingly added that the 76ers haven't had too many skills of their own lately.
"The reason why some of them make a lot of money is because they have skills," he said. "Not too many Sixers have had that many skills lately, but they do."
After ABC News tweeted about it, the 76ers shot back on Twitter: "At least we win more than 2% of the time."
Haha that is great
aldemir cut.
hopefully this means wood makes the team. i like this dude a lot.

You talking about dead money, right?
their cap space is irrelevant anyway....over half the league next year with be able to offer at least one max deal and no one is going to the sixers for equal money
basically the entire rebuild depends on getting the number one overall pick this year....no winnins for simmonds...laker pick not being protected would be huge as well but they need the overall 1 in the worst way

Pretty much as good as you can ask for with the team they threw out there today.
Jah is a stud. The 10 turnovers doesn't even matter because he was double teamed consistently and no one else could make a shot. Once someone steps up, hopefully RoCo or maybe even Sauce, that can hit a shot, those turnovers will drop. His biggest questions marks were D and FTs and he looked solid on both.
NN wil make an all defense team this year. Still a spazz with the ball in his hands but he showed a few flashes of coordination.
Going to be fun to watch this year. The Eagles season being over makes me even more into it.
khaled i can see
I get Phillies games on my local channels. I get Eagles games on my local channels. I (think I) get Flyers games on my local channels. Don't know for sure because I've never once pulled up my guide looking for a hockey game.
I do not get the Sixers locally. Maybe it has something to do with their TV contract because I don't even know what station broadcasts the games for the Philly market, but I'm pretty sure no one in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market gives a damn about negros games. Might have to get the hoops package.
thats not possible
every sixers and flyer game is on csn or tcn. 95% of phillies games are on there....a handful go to nbc10.
yeah to get flyers games but not sixers would mean that sarges cable system takes csn off the channel lineup when the sixers are on wouldnt it?
Guess I don't get Flyers games locally then. I remember seeing them on my guide a couple times but they must have been a national game on whatever network has the NHL contract.
Either way, guess I need to shell out extra $$ if I want to watch the Sixers.
yeah it sounds like you dont get csn philly....i guess whereever you live is not considered the philadelphia tv market....im guessing your network stations are not out of philly?
i think scranton gets csn philly...if you have comcast or verizon
sarge probably has dtv or dish
sarge is definitely wrong about all of this
I could get CSN Philly if CSN and DirecTV weren't being dicks about it. I didn't realize that the Sixers were exclusive to CSN now. Don't forget, I haven't lived in the Philly market for 20 years now. Last I remember, I think the Sixers were broadcast on channel 17. Or maybe it was 57. I don't know. Farg you.
so do you get the pens and pirates....or do you not get any cities sports teams
Phils, Eagles, Steelers are all broadcast locally. Not sure about Pirates and Pens.
the Phillies are obviously on a local station that is part of their network......where do you live exactly

Philadelphia Phillies

So are you saying that if I get league pass that Sixers games will still be blacked out?
Also, not sure how the Phillies are on that list. I know for a fact I've watched some games up here.
the blackouts on the team packages are a different beast. basically small areas in the middle of major markets are free zones that everyone claims in order to stake territory. they prevent people from watching the games via packages in order to force the cable companies to pick up their channels, but there isnt a massive demand for them to do so, since doing so would cost money. sports networks are among the most expensive for cable companies to buy, and that gets passed onto the customer. in short, it sucks.
you watched phillies games on either nbc10 or espn. thats different from csn.
im also now wondering if sarge has passed don as the old and confused member of the board.

Blacked out teams in Danville:

New York Yankees

Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia Flyers
Pittsburgh Penguins
Philadelphia 76ers
New York Knicks
Sports hell. Probably up to the local stations about what NFL games to show... guessing they would lean toward Steelers, Eagles, Giants, Ravens, Washington in some order.
So are you saying that if I get league pass that Sixers games will still be blacked out?
Also, not sure how the Phillies are on that list. I know for a fact I've watched some games up here.
when i was considering dropping cable for satellite, i did some research on nba league/team pass & it said local games would be blacked out.
yeah but if sarge lives in an area that doesnt get csn philly and is not a philly tv market you would think it wouldnt be blacked out for him
you live in bethlehem or some shtein dont you....thats def philly when it comes to tv
I want to be really annoyed that you have literally no clue about PA geography outside of where Philly is, but I wouldn't know where any of these awful places are either if I had never moved here. So no...no where near Bethlehem.

yup. I'm a huge Hollis homer since his Gtown days but his nba life is gonna be short. He did look a lot better the last month or two last year so I'm not totally giving up on him yet but not looking good for him. he started last game 0-9. and fouled out.
Yeah I know...but still. Should have some sort of decent half court game at least down low
flabby ass jah needs to get so much stronger....he catches the ball so far away from the hoop
gonna be a long season kids.
this may be the worst performance of the hinkie era. that is saying a lot.
Yeah this is bad. I'm watching the Series now
This team may not win 10 games
Jah handles very well for his size / age but needs to go into someone inside of four feet instead of fading. A good shot blocker is going to wreck that. Needs to use his body.
McConnell has no business even sniffing the NBA. Even someone like ish on this team would make nerlens and jah much better. I don't get not having even a remotely competent pg if you're trying to develop big guys. I'm not saying spend money on a legit FA but at least have one player who at least belongs in the NBA to facilitate their growth.

not a whole lot of positives last night.
sauce was the best player for the sixers last night which made me happy. didn't have much competition but if he can keep stroking it, and Roco coming back, that'll really change the look of things.
other thing i liked was jah getting feisty in the fourth quarter. taking it to, or at least trying to take it to goobers. had some fire in him which was nice to see. also needs to stop smoking cigs or whatever he is doing to get so tired.
ha, goobers is an autocorrect but i'm keeping it.

Phil Pressey, Sixer
process
no mcw tonight for the nba's next great team
lil guy is sad he won't get to see MCW
Yeah right like he's gonna watch the Sixers anyways
i dont watch jv games
theres no way you can watch that sequence at the end and think anybody in blue cares or is interested in winning
nor should they be.....two picks in the top 6 this year including the one overall....no winnins for simmonds
me and lorenzo rollin in the BENzo
TJ with the almost triple dub
mconnell is perfect because he sucks enough for them to lose but hes a good passer to get the big guys the ball
sixers gotta hope okafor keeps up his pretty numbers to hoodwink another team into taking him....his game is just awful...how can you be that big and not be able to rebound....and he might be worse defensively than I even thought going in
nn on the other hand I love
Let him develop or see if he develops. You don't trade him after a year. After them dealing MCW if they dealt another top pick and got nothing but a pick or picks in return the city explodes
hes not going to develop hes already very good offensively and will never get better at anything else....you dont develop athleticism....he is what he is
I got news for you....no one in the city cares what the sixers do and even more importantly hinkie magic could less if anyone did...but if you want to spin it you easily can say having embiid nn and okafor is untenable
also lol at getting the lakers first round pick being "nothing but a pick"....that mcw trade was pure genius
I'm fine with the MCW deal. He couldn't shoot. Get value off a good season. I'm behind that theory
I do disagree on Okafor. He's a guy I'm working on developing. He certainly could improve his defense and athleticism. He's 20.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on November 06, 2015, 09:47:24 PM
He certainly could improve his defense and athleticism.
please explain how....im super intrigued
You're a well seasoned sports fan. Defensive positioning can be taught. He can improve. Did I miss the memo that said players are the same throughout their career as when they're rookies?
has nothing to do with positioning....he slow as dirt and will never be able to defend the pnr and he cant get off the floor to protect the rim...not to mention he has trouble running the court which effects him being able to get back...its kind of weird watching him...his feet are so good on offense but it looks like hes moving in sludge on defense and this is because on offense he can work in small spaces....but on defense the offense dictates the spacing and in todays nba he cant move around the court because he so unathletic....a big in todays game has to be able to do one of two things on d...guard the rim or be able to step out into space....he can do neither
So as an extremely young player you're saying his skills are already capped? That he will not and cannot improve in some of his deficient areas?
so just to be clear okafor at 19, 5 seconds into his nba career is now damaged goods
Quote from: MDS on November 06, 2015, 11:07:07 PM

yes that's what im saying...he not going to all of a sudden be able to jump higher or move quicker or grow longer arms
of course he could jump higher or move quicker - training can do that
I guess HOFers were being measured for busts the day after their drafts?

I don't even know what this means....I think it means you think okafor has a chance to be a HOF'er?....im also confused as to why you are using the word bust....he has too high of a floor to ever be a bust
It's like I don't even know you. Or you're impaired this evening?
You say it's like the guy has no shot to improve.
I mock that by asking if HOF players are decided as soon as drafted because in your mind they'll never improve. So a guy will never improve from his rookie season because you say players can't improve for some weird reason.
I don't think Okafor is a HOFer
Bust = the statue they make of your head when inducted into a HOF
people can improve but those are people who have a ceiling...or people who are deficient in areas that can be improved....a perfect example of this and also one that applies to okafor is free throw shooting (and shooting in general)....this is not only a plac you can imporve but its a place that he has improved from last year and he gets major credit for that...but these magical improvements that you are talking about don't exist
your reasoning that he might not be a terrible defender is that training will make him jump higher and be quicker.....I don't even know where to go with that
right but jumping to conclusions 5 seconds into his nba career is pretty silly
you were never high on him, so what the hell, double down on it. in reality nobody watches or cares or follows the sixers so they can and will do whatever the farg they want up to and including trading jah tomorrow.
its not conclusions...its simply watching the guy play and knowing his physical limitationsl...I watched him religiously in college and of course this year...I see what he can and cant do
you are as bad as j in that your reasoning is on some I believe in god type shtein....like who cares what his real skills are or what hes capable of ever doing or what hes shown....all that matters is that hes only played a few games in the nba so because of that he still has a chance to be a rim protector one day....which is like saying johnny manzeil will have a strong arm at some point because hes a rookie
im not saying anything other than he has played in the nba for 5 seconds and its too early to say anything substantive about him
i of course have barely watched the sixers and will not watch much because i dont watch jv hoops...not trying to counter on anything like that.
Quote from: MDS on November 06, 2015, 11:56:19 PM

it doesn't get more ignorant than saying something like this....everything is not black n white like that...just because a player hasn't been in the league that long does not automatically mean everything about him can get better....you can absolutely make judgments on certain aspects of a player when they are in college much less the pros...specifically when it comes to athleticism and measureables
if I was saying he couldn't develop a 15 foot jumper or he will always be a terrible rebounder then youd have a point
sixers - 0
nets (celtics) - 0
pellies - 0
kings (sixers?) - 1
lake show (sixers?) - 1
the sixers can only swap with the kings
well yea but they might get the lakers pick
might
I cant see the lakers not getting in the top 3 so the most realistic hope is between them and the kings they get the 1
best case the lakers getting farged in the lottery and the sixers making out (never happen) and the sixers getting the 1 and something right outside the top 3
Okafor is absurd offensively.
okafor getting one inch off the floor on a dunk attempt and getting smashed by Jason smith is all you need to know about him
Hopefully he's traded soon amirite?
end of the year....hopefully his faux numbers stay up

agreed...I like his game more than most because I see the potential. Sixers are a perfect team for him because he can suck all he wants and develop and nobody cares. As a bench rotation guy he works once other pieces are in place.
Okafor and Sauce in a package deal?
Like the fire from Noel...rejection was bullshtein
yeah wtf...that was a joke

That is considered a flagrant 2?!

bla bla bla
went to check twitter 2 hours later and it turns out the sixers played and got killed. not on on 1 tv at the bar. had no idea they were playing. its really just pathetic.
That's on the bar for not having it on. Don't ever go back there.
next to nobody watches or goes to sixers games....dead serious no hyperbole their ratings are sickeningly low
They should be watching tho - especially in a bar in Philadelphia
I'm at a hotel in San Antonio and it was on in the hotel bar

You were at a hipster bar weren't you?!
its a weird amalgamation of some different south philly cultures, but yes there are hipsters there

Hold up
Bars show movies now? So it's gotta be quiet
Which means no bar atmosphere
bars have shown movies forever....but its not like a movie night altho i think they might have one of those....there might not even be sound on the tv's...like it might be home alone on tnt but thats all that will be on...never ever sports....a few years ago i went here and asked for a game and the bartender said and im not paraphrasing here - "we dont do sports"

Philadelphia's Projected 2016-17 Depth Chart

*Rookies
delete all the white guys
QuoteTo put it in another wording: The single best thing that the Philadelphia 76ers, a team full of 2nd round and undrafted fliers, can do to win games, is benching Jahlil Okafor. Between the decision to play, or not play, any player on their roster, that is the move that makes them the most points better than their opponent so far this season. In fact, it's a 30-point swing over the course of 100 possessions. Terrifying for an early prognosis on a player who was considered the most polished in the 2015 draft class.
This isn't an anomaly derived from substitution patterns either. According to the NBAStatMachine at NBASM.com, Okafor doesn't play any more in the 4th quarter than any other quarter. The 76ers have only been blown out 3 times this season, and Okafor was on the floor for 36 of the possible 48 minutes of garbage time that those games provided in the 4th quarter. In those 12 minutes of garbage time without Okafor, the 76ers are only a combined +2, so there's very little statistical skew occurring during those minutes.
well there's the answer if they decide they want to win games.
also nik stauskas is trash.
I don't know if ive seen a first round pick with less confidence than staukus....he always looks scared and hes so soft

Lol did Pop really say that?
Alaa quoted Fletch. He officially has my endorsement.
finally have a fun one here.
first team ever to start 0-11 two years in a row.
i'm starting to think stauskas could never shoot but people just assumed bc he is an unathletic white guy he must be a 3 point sniper.
thing is he was athletic and could shoot at Michigan
but he was being guarded by six foot doods from Wisconsin Green Bay
the difference btwn cbb and nba is like 25 times larger gap than from cfb to nfl...it's crazy to watch and think about sometimes
He stinks but he's only 22, he could develop into a solid bench guy. They have nothing to lose by continuing to play him.
someome needs to find a vine of his airball/brick on a wide open 3 pt attempt last night...all things considered it was one of the worst shots ive seen a pro basketball player ever take
yeah i saw it, thats what initially made me say that.

Quote from: phattymatty on October 07, 2015, 10:09:59 AM
I was up close and personal with the boys last night a few rows from the court. granted preseason game one doesn't mean dick but:
1. jahlil is the truth. dude could crush my skull in a second. would put money on him being ROY.
2. nerlens is still a trainwreck with the ball in his hands. may eventually be on one of the all-defensive teams but there has been zero improvement in his offense.
3. hopefully they will learn how to work together but jahlil and nerlens do not look good together. when NN drives the lane for one of his patented thad young spaz moves, jahlil literally has to jump out of the lane, leaving no one to grab the board when it doesn't go in. and it doesn't ever go in.
4. jakarr looked way better with hair.
5. new unis are farging awesome.
6. this team is hot garbage and may somehow be worse than last year.
the end.
all of this is still true.
jahlil is awful....right now they are an almost unfathomable 10+ pts per 100 worse with him on the floor than off
he literally sucks at everything except moves around the basket
i wouldn't say awful but yeah it's weird how the best player on the court can make everyone around him worse.
four away from the all time record....five away from the start of season record
Is this the worst team of the tanking years?
Gotta be right?
yeah...mostly because the defense is so much worse...the offense each year has been historically bad...but last year in particular they had tons of athleticism on the floor and guys that could guard multiple spots around the court...now you have tj mcconnel up front and jah around the the rim...yikes
also no one mentions it but there are no veterans anymore...not that they were good players but at least you had players like luc mbah a moute and j rich who would be on and off the court coaches and have guys be where they were supposed to be or let them know what they did wrong....now its just a bunch of young guys like chickens with their heads cut off out there
Good point on the vets not being there to be mentors and on court coaches
They have to get Simmons. Have to.
And then start the FA signing. I don't know if I can do another year of this
they are still minimum 2-3 years away from getting notable free agents....to get any real talent they are going to have to make a trade
i was just looking at their stats....mcconnel has played 383 minutes and not attempted a free throw this year....that is amazing...him being their starting pg might be the tankiest thing hinkie magic has done thus far
also covey has not hit a 3 yet this year
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on November 20, 2015, 10:12:25 PM
They have to get Simmons. Have to.
Best case scenario (Sixers most lottery balls, Kings second most), the chance of getting Simmons is only 44.9%.
Realistically I think the chances of Simmons on the Sixers are more like 30%. So get ready for plan B.
Quote from: ice grillin you on November 19, 2015, 08:54:06 AM
jahlil is awful
Said this to my buddy at the game Sunday. He gave me the Duncan comparison. Jahlil is an unbelievable low post scorer but he's so unathletic and one dimensional. He would have been a good fit in the nba 20 years ago. I understand taking him because he was bpa. Brown was interviewed a few games ago and said the same thing, that the scheme doesn't fit his game but there's a medium they're trying to make work. I think they give him a few years then mcw him somewhere. I know it's dumb but I'm holding out hope Embiid recovers. Don't know if the foot will ever fully heal but maybe he plays a few years through the pain which is what other players have done.
you cant kill the pick itself at 3...that would not be fair...I will only say that for a guy that is supposed to be brilliant and part of the new nba that includes analytics...pace and space....stretch big men etc he should have known better...you cant be the genius you are supposed to be and do something as elementary as BPA...the problem is hinkies mindset is still collecting assets not the best players and he deemed okafor to be a better asset...not a chance okafor isn't moved along with some draft picks to move up in a draft at some point
i only saw the highlights but they showed a lay up by kemba that i think took jah 25 seconds to react to
hes an oaf

ive counted about five times this year where both his feet were off the ground
I've thought his on ball defense has been OK this year. He's atrocious with help D and recognition.
I still think he'll be a very good offensive player. I have probably irrational confidence he'll develop a bit of a shot - his form doesn't seem as farged as Noel's. Never going to be athletic, never going to be good D player.
(http://cdn.phillymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/okafor-noel-defense.png)
The silver lining in this is you hope that in-game experience and playing a lot of minutes will result in him improving. Will he ever be an around the rim stud defender...probably not...but if he can improve to average then its huge because his offensive game will be strong
that post move by okafor on mcroberts was so ill
19-4 run right now
hope everyone is ready for the parade tonight.

Brett brown post game sounded like someone murdered his dog. Must've used the word cruel 30 times.
What is the argument for rooting for them to lose tonight? They're going to have the worst record. The Nets are >>>> them. Heat pick is conveying. Heat extra loss > sixers win since sixers will have worst record.
yeah i don't get it either...i mean yeah the plan is to be the worst but they can win a bunch and still be the worst.

They could go 0-82 and they'll still end up with the 3rd pick in the draft. Because Philly.

last night specifically it was because you want the Heat to lose for the Heat pick to be better.
The Heat will draw a protected pick in the lottery. Because Philly.
heat pick is top ten protected and it aint gettin there...so rooting for the sixers last night was rooting for the heat pick to be like 17 instead of 18....that seems more important than getting the #1 overall
Maybe. I would be shocked if the sixers don't have the worst record this year so in a scenario it would be rooting for the heat pick to be better for no reason.
I want them 0-82...still obviously doesn't guarantee anything but I want every farging last ping pong ball available...farg this third place shtein
plus it would be pretty cool to go 0-82 or 2-80 or something ridiculous like that
yeah set all kinds of records along the way
Can't read the link bc it's a ripoff "insider" piece but Chad ford is asking if they should trade Okafor for deangelo russell

Can't read the link bc it's a ripoff "insider" piece but Chad ford is asking if they should trade Okafor for deangelo russell
it wasnt a full piece on trading him....it was him and pelton doing a Q&A on okafor...it was one of the questions...this is what he said
QuoteFord: Well, you know the answer that Philly will give publicly -- that they love him and he isn't going anywhere. But if there were any team in the league that would be willing to move a player like Okafor a month or two into the season, I think it's the Sixers.
There are few people in the league who scout the draft more thoroughly than Hinkie does, which means I believe he saw Kristaps Porzingis, Emmanuel Mudiay, Justise Winslow and Okafor as much as anyone did. And he chose Okafor despite the fact that Porzingis, Mudiay or Winslow all would have been much better complements to the current roster (and all three might be better players in the long run because of Okafor's weaknesses).
The only justification I can really give for selecting Okafor is that Hinkie thought Okafor was the superior asset, that given his size and long history as a potential No. 1 guy, Hinkie believed he could fetch the highest price the fastest if he needed to move him.
The Sixers' rebuilding plan has been predicated on collecting the best assets -- not necessarily the best fits. The hope is that all those draft picks ultimately land them a couple of superstars, via trade or the draft. So far, the 76ers still aren't there. They have a couple of nice young players, but no obvious cornerstones on the roster yet unless Joel Embiid can return to health.
On a roster that includes Noel and Embiid, and would seem to want to play fast, it's not clear how Okafor fits for the long term. So if Hinkie felt that he could get a player or asset more valuable than Okafor, as he did when he shipped away Michael Carter-Williams one year removed from winning Rookie of the Year, I don't think he'd hesitate.
And there might be a team or two out there where Okafor fits better. I especially wonder about the Lakers. D'Angelo Russell has been a tough fit in L.A. The Lakers flipped from Okafor to Russell the night of the draft. Would the two teams consider swapping the two players? That would effectively be a draft-night trade, a few months later.
It would be another bold move by Hinkie to participate in any Okafor trade. But given his history, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
btw ben simmonds is on the deuce and just grabbed a defensive board then went the length of the floor and dunked it
8-7-4-4-1 first half
Would you do that hypothetical deal?
Simmons is so good...please get the top pick
the tanking for him is going to be outrageous if it isnt already
good thing the sixers have had a 3 year head start on anyone...id like to think this was hinkies plan all along. the year 3 tank for the next superstar.
Why in the world would you run iso for Grant ever with Wiggins on him?
Another brutal loss
And farg the luck of the Cavs for getting the pick to take Wiggins
Wouldn't you like to see a win once in awhile?
god no
what the farg is the point in winning "once in a while"? what does that accomplish. if youre gonna tank, then tank. the last 2 years they didnt tank enough and lost out on wiggins, parker, KAT and russ. cant go into the lotto with the 3rd most balls again.
nn and jah cant even play together anyway....everyone else sucks....none of this shtein matters anyway
The future seems fairly obvious. Sixers will definitely have the most losses this season. Lakers will win the lottery though.
c's - 1
lakers - 2
sixers -3
the worst of all possible outcomes
If the C's were in the bottom 5 teams, that would definitely happen. I'm not jaded enough to think they'll pull the one even with only a couple balls floating around in there though. Not yet.
oh sweet, qb, sweet qb. know your trades.

and above and beyond the obvious ping pong ball thing as long as they are at zero they need to keep it going and set loss records...at least be known for something...the franchise already has most losses in a season record...might as well get losses to start a season and consecutive losses overall

i wouldnt because i think you can get more than that for jah if his numbers hold up this year...maybe even jah and some package of pick or picks to maybe move up and get the one overall
I think you're right...if they deal him then wait to maximize value
But I wouldn't cut bait just yet unless it is to get them into position to get Simmons
So the rebuilding process will be extended to 2020 ?

what was funny about this game from again following it on line and just going by the score wad that they were up the entire second half by 10-12 pts...then literally in the last three minutes completely collapsed...I agree with what you are saying not playing hard and getting blown out is what has happened most of this year compared to the effort given last year especially...but this was different...seemed like a purposeful effort to do whatever it took to not win the game in the last five minutes
It's like Hinkie has a hypnotic control over BB in the waning minutes
Some of his lineup combos are head scratching.
Closing out a win? Sam slaps the red button and BB puts in Pressey and has him take awful last shots.
hopefully that's whats happening
There's literally no lead this team can have where a fan can sit back and believe it's going to be a win. Every game is preseason to them, more about developing the players than the score.
I do think some of it comes down to the other team's pride... none of those guys want to be the first to lose to the zesty-ass Sixers. I think that more than anything else is why you see these late collapses... every other team in basketball can put up a lot of points quickly on the Sixers if they play with maximum effort. The C's cut it close and basically won this one by virtue of a three ball with 0:11 left. If that rims out I think the Sixers would have gotten a W.
I wanted them to win so hear Bill Simmons whine

Problem is he won't be whining when the Celtics get the other Simmons.
You're right though, if the Eagles (who he's been trashing -- with reason -- all season long) somehow pull the insanely unlikely upset against the Patriots, his Monday podcast instantly becomes the most satisfying sports moment of the year for me.
bill simmons is still a thing?
if I wanna follow a repulsive boston homer ill watch garbage time...at least Katie Nolan is hot
Yeah his podcast is still huge and he's become more edgy so to speak since he and ESPN divorced
And I'm with you QB if they pull off that upset I'll revel in his misery
Evan Cohen too. He's the morning guy on Mad Dog Russo's Sirius channel and he's insufferable
Any kind of meaningful win over a Boston team and I'm checking out all the Boston media, I'm petty like that.
Unfortunately I don't think that has actually occurred since like 5 years ago when the Flyers farged up the Bruins. And then the Bruins won the Stanley Cup the next year.
I was rooting hard for the Bills after that blown call inadvertent whistle the other night bc it upset the fans so much. That fan base should never complain about shtein.
Wish I was old enough to remember the Sixers and C's battles from the Toney and Doc days

Sielski with more info
But ratchets up the drama (a yahoo writer did the same) and says it's proof the Sixers plan "is corrosive" on players
yea losing every game doesnt do anything to anyone...please
hinkie does it because maybe 1 player currently on the roster is going to matter when and if the team is ever good. all this losing will not matter because nobody who matters is experiencing it
I'm not buying that. I mean, I could see it if it's someone who's been with the team for the last 2 years of tanking, but not after 16 games. And if Okafor is that soft batch that he's already having a breakdown, then he definitely ain't gonna last in this town. These guys got it so farging easy right now. Not only aren't they expected to win, but the losing is being supported by the coach, management, ownership, and the fans. So if he can't handle losing when they're supposed to lose, then he's gonna be in a world of hurt when they're actually expected to win and don't.
Yeah and this is two under 21yr olds who got into a shtein talking thing and it's nothing moe than that
Looking for deeper meanings like the yahoo dude, Sielski and mds is laughable
im not looking for a deeper meaning...but if you think being the laughingstock of sports isnt driving the players and coaches insane youre joking
what im saying is it doesnt matter. ben simmons is at lsu, not losing every game. dario saric is at the prague discotech, not losing every game. their 1st round pick in 2017 is in HIGH SCHOOL, not losing every game.
Pretty much. I mean, I'm sure it's frustrating as hell for someone like Jah. Dude probably didn't lose 16 games in HS and college combined and now he's doing it on tv every night. But I still don't see it causing him (or anyone else on the team) to start getting into bar fights. Good news though is that he's going to get a lot of practice at losing and I expect him to be all-pro at it by Xmas. He gone lose so much that he ain't gonna know what to do when they win. Woooooorrrrrrld Staaaaaarrrrrr!
lololol at Prague discotheque - wonder if Nocioni is there with him
This is the sports and entertainment world times we are in. Bros and idiots see player(s) in public and talk shtein to them. Most times its ignored. But this dude got smacked in the mouth
I don't think there's really anything that happened here that couldn't have happened with Okafor while he was at college. He's had a zesty attitude for a while. He never wanted to be part of this team, and soon he won't be part of it. I don't see Nerlens out there knocking guys out over some heckling. I don't hate Okafor or anything, the guy just really isn't a longterm part of this program.
lets go thru all the zesty teams in sports history and see who got in fights
then lets go thru all the good teams in sports history and see who got in fights
i would bet there is no difference
was there a bigger criminal organization in sports history than the cowboys dynasty....the we are family pirates were a drug fueled rage machine
were the knicks and timberwolves brawling last year?
sarge is right this is much more about what kind of cat jah is....this says nothing about any rebuild...that's so ridiculous
also lololol at j calling michael lee "the yahoo dood"
And just to be clear....I'm not knocking jah at all right now. I think he's a 20 yr old dude who acted like a 20 yr old dude. I'm more concerned with the fact that he doesn't know better than to be a black guy walking around Bahston at night.
id like to know why the sixers are staying in a road city the night of the game....you are just asking for trouble
Kinda wish I could go to the game tonight...
Of course Houston is not missing shtein

Four FTs missed by Houston
TJ!
that's your problem you care more about shtein talking than the actual teams

if you want them to win every game just because that's how you are then more power to you...I completely disagree but I cant hate on anyone wanting them to win as many as possible...but don't farging root for them a few times a year so you can go say something to a douchebag co worker who might care less about the rockets than you care about the sixers

I don't get this. And I'm not saying this to jab at you or anything, I just really don't get it. I get that you'd want them to beat Houston since you live there, but in the grand scheme of things, what's the real difference between say 10-72 or 3-79? Is not like those 7 wins are going to be something for the team to build on next year because half those guys probably won't even be here anyway.
If Hinkie magic is going to work, it's going to take sacrifice....even from you. Sacrifice the season. Not some of it. Not most of it. All of it. Eighty two farging games. You in or what?
so okafor was indeed driving 108 on the bfb....on top of getting into 2 different beefs at the club

Why ? The team obviously doesn't care so why should you ?
I think the team cares very much. Players are definitely trying to win, they just arent very good. It's the franchise that has no interest in winning games right now.
Eagles players have def thrown in the towel. Sixers players know that they are auditioning for a job next year.
Yeah my bad, I meant team as in hinkie and his happy band of tankers.
a legitimate point guard will go a long way whenever they decide to get one of those. the ones they have on the team now are putrid and lead to a ton of their offensive issues
Wait a second...
Okafor tried to use a fake ID to get into a club in the city where he was the number one overall pick??

you cant definitely say the sixers will finish with the worst record...weve been down this road before and theyve climbed up to the 3 before.
plus you need the lakers to finish outside the top 3 and every win for them is huge. they're god awful.
i have no doubt the lakers are finishing in the top 3...thats not even a question....im 90% sure they will finish with the worst record overall
dont get me wrong...i really really really want the sixers to lose...its just not some all time important lose game
i didnt say it was all time important...just the most important game in a dreadful sports city that hasnt had a meaningful game in like 5 years
Sixers are giving jah extra babysitters security.
No Alaa tonight. Zu gets to deal with the Lynams instead
i knew they'd do something cool for kobe but damn. most they've spent on pre-game shtein all year.
Kobe gonna drop 45 tonight.
i just got in my car. on the way to philly for the parade.
god damnit this city sucks
you're the worst. that was fun as shtein. yeah they need to start losing again but the fact that you nerds think this zesty team is gonna pull some big run is ridiculous. lakers do blow though, they are def our main enemy.
it was fun a shtein to watch an 0-18 team with like 5 nba players hurt itself by beating a 2-17 team with like 5 nba players and 1 washed up legend
fun
5 NBA players? You really are in the holiday spirit of giving.
They shouldve moved the Moses deal but whatever.
Wait, I thought the Lakers were gonna try really hard this year.
once kobe get back into form they will be a top 5 team.
what the lakers are doing with kobe is so much worse than any of the sixer tank jobs...hes a disgrace...he farging took 16 three pointers yesterday and laughed about it afterwords...he said in the post game presser he knew his legs werent going to hold up after the first two makes...yet still shot 13 more threes after that...he went into the game as DEAD LAST in the nba in 3 pt %
but the sixers are worst thing thats ever happened to sports
not a chance in hell the lakers dont finish worst overall...gotta hope the sixers get some lottery luck bwahahahahahahah
Since the Lakers pick is top 3 protected, and even if they don't get the 1, I don't think there's any way they fall out of the top 3, so what happens then? Does that pick coming to the Sixers get moved to 2017?
tmz has a vid of jah beating the crap out of another boston idiot...apparently happened right after the first fight vid that was released the other day.
i'm starting to like this kid. he's got heart.

yeah, so this dude is an icehole
meh...that's classic drunk voice right there.
if it ends up being a common thing then yeah that's a problem, but i'm not that surprised that he got in more than one fight in the same night. was prob. the same crew following him around and heckling til he lost it.
in all likelyhood he will grow out of this...the problem is his value has crashed and burned in the short term...and they may have needed him as a chip in next summers draft
theres nothing they can do to get simmons unless they get the 1
if they dont get him they can draft all big 5 players for all i care
i realize you most likely have never even seen simmons on the court but he is far from unanimous #1 right now.
can't shoot for shtein right now and has never had a mid-range jumper.
plus no matter what, somehow the sixers wont get the #1 pick anyway.
cause, philly.

ive seen most of every game hes played this year except one i think....hes the only player in this draft with transformational potential...hes not lebron but he has insane off the charts upside...i mean he has more upside than jo-el had coming out...and thats what the sixers need...a special player...not farging kris dunn or brandon ingram
oh so the sixers are tanking again for a guy whos not even that good to begin with
WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS
its never been about tanking for one guy...its about collecting as many assets as possible...the fans are tanking for one guy...thats not what hinkie is doing...its about giving yourself the best odds to get as many good players as you can...hes done a great job of this.....but as ive said many times.....this team plays in Philadelphia...in fact that was hinkie magics biggest miscalculation...that he thought he could do this with a philly team and get away with it
I watch a lot of Providence. Kris Dunn is good but he wouldn't have been a top 10 pick last year. He's an athletic slash/distributing pg who has an attitude. He's going to be good but should be no where near the #1 pick convo.

great, how exciting. hes doing a great job amassing tons of talent. they have 2 players worth giving a shtein about and this is year 3 of them putting an nbdl product on the court. also tj mcconnell is playing point guard.
by the way, sam hinkie is a gross person. dude runs and hides from any accountability for this wretched franchise and leaves it all to brett brown, who is a patsy. the owner is a turd who lands his helicopter in the middle of 10 year old soccer games. this franchise sucks and is impossible to like.
ben simmonds goin HAM again tonight
big win last night
also kris dunn had a triple double tonight 16-10-14
and brandon ingram has 18 pts on 7-8 from the floor at half and did it in 15 minutes because of two fouls
i literally had no idea the sixers played tonight...i didnt see 1 thing about it on twitter, here or anywhere. all i saw was okafor stuff.

yea like its going to turn around tomorrow....you are such a pathetic homer excuse maker for this wretched franchise
so in 2.5 years theyve added 2 players who cant even play together. thats it. they might add 1 or 2 more players by next year. then we have to see how they play together. meanwhile theyre 1-18 and a laughingstock of sports. but they won on tuesday, j! gooooooooooooo team.
Yeah but Saric ? Embiid ?

tomorrow?....follow the nba much?....it takes years to build up to a championship level...there are a few exceptions to the rule like san antonio tanking to get tim duncan....but generally it takes years to get the players then a few years for them to come into their own....and guess what its almost guaranteed to not happen....10 teams have won the last 35 nba titles...but sixers were one of them....so they got that going for them

waaaaah boo hoo they are 1-18.....i so wish they were .500 right now with no future cause id feel so much better if people werent laughing at me
in the next three years you will have some combination of the following players and picks or other pieces that can be acquired from this pool:
covey
saric
embiid
nn
big jah
16 top 3 pick own pick
16, 17 or 18 lakers first rounder
16 heat first rounder
16 thunder first rounder
sacramento swap option in 16 or 17
is it going to work....again probably not...but thats a shtein ton of potential to play with...what you shouldnt be doing it wetting your pants 30 months into this
i actually do think it's going to work. maybe it's just wishful thinking because my favorite team at the moment is terrible.
even if the lottery doesn't go our way (which we all know it won't) they are going to have a very solid, young core of 6-8 players after next year. with most teams getting older they are going to be in a very good spot for a while. add in the cap space to sign an eventual all-star or two and they are good to go. i think people are making too much noise about cap space though, doesn't really mean shtein these days.
not guaranteeing a championship or anything but they will be in the thick of it for a while. and for the record i think simmons is far and away best player also. just pointing out that mr. journalist has no idea yet keeps repeating himself over and over. yes ben would be amazing but a handful of other guys does not kill the process.
I'm trying to stay positive, doesn't help when the other three teams in the city suck as well.
Would like to get jersey, love the new unis. Affraid, if I get okafor hell end up traded for 10 picks in 2018

16 top 3 pick own pick -- wont be simmons

please stop trying to evaluate players you've never really seen and certainly have never truly watched in a league you don't understand
you wanna breakdown the union im all ears...pro basketball way out of your scope of knowledge
shhhh just let him say simmons over and over to make him feel better.
okafor, cement feet. or pretty much the best footwork of any rookie big man in forever.
covington doesn't stink but he looks better than he is because no one else can shoot. he'd be a solid bench guy on a good team but if he's starting in 2 years something went wrong.
the lakers is still a head scratcher to me. at no time in the next 2 years are they going to be good.
i would't be too surprised if the OKC pick ends up being not terrible also...something is not right there.

hes a nobody...totally worthless player. interchangeable with 100 other people they can find in the draft or in free agency. i know you love him because 1) hes on the sixers 2) youre a homer 3) he was once associated with the rockets but nobody gives a farg about robert covington.
everything i said is on the money. i never said the lakers would be good, but instead of a top 5 possibility, you back down to top 10. the thunder pick isnt going to be anything, whether its 17 or 25. who cares.
jah is slow as farg. he cant jump. he can score, sure. but he and nn cant even play together so who the farg cares. pick 1.
embiid is a cartoon
since they arent getting simmons, youre down to 2 hopes: 1. saric is a transformative player 2. the kings win the lotto in 17 and a superstar is there
You're a mini Eskin with this anti Sixers rhetoric

you dont watch the team and have no idea what you are talking about...furthermore you dont understand the league and what makes a good player and what doesnt...you wanna yell and scream about how they have won only one game and people are making fun of them go for it...but stop evaluating players
covey is one of the best 3 pt shooters in the nba...and a very good defender....the amount of steals he gets with his length is insane...sample size is a little too small to call him a great shooter yet but hes very good and should have a place in the nba as a key piece on any team

Totally can't wait to read the gamer!
it will be a hit job on covey
No doubt
He will go like 6/7 from threeville but our reporter here will rip him for the miss
i saw hinkie
z's shoes are on fleek
molly sully lookin beat
stat girl fine
wrotes first game back after an acl tear and still no one can stop him from getting to the rim...its a god damn shame he cant shoot
bb going small ball big time with this lineup...makes sense since denver has no frontline

but youre right hes super fun to watch
its his first game in 11 months....his timing is clearly not all there...but hes looks really good as far as how hes moving for first game back
also hes a turnover machine....that's who he is...how do they let you cover sixer games?
cause they have like 4 staff guys left and the stringer who usually does it cant today
i covered like 10 lacrosse games last year and i dont even know the rules, yet wrote good stories. i can do this shtein in my sleep, even if ts for a team i havent actively paid attention to in years.
also there are 3 big 5 dudes on the nugs...jaqueer, foye and ed pickeney is an assistant
wrotes is simply unbelievable in that he literally cant shoot yet no one can stop him off the bounce...he just puts his head down and goes as hard as he can to the rim and pretty much gets there at will against anyone

yea...though thats just me being a freelancer and not really having a stake in this
like the beat dudes cant do that. but at most im doing this 1-2 more times this year, so it doesnt really matter for me
in fact my editor told me they cover the sixers only because if they stopped they wouldnt get to do it when they get good (if), and it could prevent the bosses from paying to cover the other pro teams
I know you wouldn't but could you have not gone today and gotten away with it...or do you check in as you are going into the arena and the paper gets notified that they used a credential for this game

i likely could
the sixers are a joke organization from top to bottom and their pr staff would unlikely catch that i never picked up my credential yet wrote a full game with quotes and shtein
a ton of this kind of work can be done like that...the business in many ways still operates like the early days when games werent on tv. this is why i focus on high school, generally. theres always going to be a demand for hs sports coverage and those games are never going on tv.
this would be one of their better losses.....entertaining game....played well....zesty in the last two minutes
garbage covey three at the buzzer otherwise 0 fg last three and a half minutes of game
poor brett brown
he was so sunny and cheerful for the pregame jawn....afterwards he was beaten. but i saw the spin doctor and hinkie happily chillin after the game so who cares about loss #20
Huge hire
Jerry Colangelo as chairman of basketball ops and special advisor
love it. assuming hinkie still has final on everything say but that's a nice signing.
He's basically what Gillick was to Amaro. Sounds like ownership wants to speed up this rebuilding shtein and Colangelo has a better reputation with agents than Hink does
its hilarious to me that people think the sixers are going to be some destination team because fossil coangelo works for them
I suspect hes more there for player evaluation...hinkie has a done a great job of acquiring assets but now with this upcoming draft and the amount of picks they may have they want another set of basketball eyes that are part of the old school rather than the analytical new school

all the beat writers and many national writers are saying it....that's where easy got it...harris said at the presser that they want the process to speed up....so everyone jumped to the conclusion that hes there to get free agents to come to the team

who knows hes 76 and hasn't done shtein for a while....im sure its not a bad relationship....but at no point is he going to be a factor in the sixers getting or not getting a free agent...he probably wont even be with the sixers when they are ready to attract big name guys
yeah that's ridiculous.
i like it though, another set of eyes can't hurt and he's built teams before.

I don't get it...because he's not sucking hinkies dick?
he went out of his way to complement what a great job the coach has done but says hes getting to know the GM?...so blatant...it would take all of 15 minutes to look up hinkies moves and what hes done with the team...and its not like hes been studying tape of brett brown coaching...he probably hasnt seen more than two sixers games in the last three years but brett is doing a "great" job
also reports out there that the other owners forced this move cause they are sick of hinkies tanking hurting their bottom lines...its so obvious that hinkie has been put on notice and better be sleeping with one eye open these days
hinkie is probably done
colangelo said it this morning on the pulse...he didnt come back to answer to hinkie. hinkie is answering to him. hinkie is a gross person and who the farg knows what hes going to do with this.
ive said it before, hinkie is amazing at gathering assets and fleecing serbian legends out of their elements at gm, but the jury is very much out on him as a talent evaluater.
not saying hes some great evaluator...but talent evaluation thus far has been fine...tho its hard to say how good of an evaluator he is because he doesnt really evaluant talent as much as he determines the best asset....like do we know that he didnt like prozingus more than jah but thought jah was the better asset...especially short term
Hinkie magic days are numbered.
in the least this eliminates the possibility of a quad tank, which couldve easily happened under hinkie if the sixers didnt win the lotto and didnt get the laker pick
also word is that the push to hire colangelo came from adam silver. hinkie is that insulting to the league.
it came from silver only in the sense that he made the call to coangelo but he did it because he was told to by some or all of the other nba owners....actually a pretty slippery slope if you ask me....either make an nba rule that discourages tanking or let josh harris run his team how he wants....forcing him to do this sets a terrible precedent imo
next year was never going to be a tank....embiid saric and the 2016 first rounders added into the mix would not allow that....they are going to suck next year and would have whether coangelo was hired or not....but it was never going to be a tank
in funnier news stauskas was -43 last night. i've never seen a number like that.

you are delusional
try to read things with context...i said nothing about whether i thought he would be healthy or not....you said they were going to tank next year and embiid whether he plays or not is not part of a tank...the sixers including hinkie magic are hoping hes healthy and plays...if hes not that doesnt somehow show that they are going thru another tank
lil guy taking things in context? lol
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2015/12/10/sixers-blitzer-harris-london/
whats the o/u for when hinkie and the sixers "part ways"
im100% all in on both tanks....but the point is the sixers got rid of mostly garbage to start over and rebuild and its the worst thing since the holocaust....the phillies trade a great young player as part of a rebuild and its definitely worth it
can you imagine how sick the thad - ET - MCW combo would be?
actually now that i think of it, those three plus jah, NN, roco, saric, embiid and this years picks would be real nice.
this looks like a pick up game at the Y.

it's becoming more and more obvious that nerlens is the one who has to eventually go. which sucks because i really like the guy. head scratching how someone so good can make the rest of the team suck so bad. they look so much better tonight without him spazzing around.
garbage ass jah ruins everyone
ugh this team is so much worse than last year. they lost a lot last year but were still fun. this year has had flashes but no one gives a shtein. jerami has been a nice surprise after a horrible start but i'm getting close to taking a break from watching.
i've never been on the 'losing is going to hurt the mentality of the team' train, but this shtein is working on me as a fan so it's gotta be bothering these dudes.
holy crap i just saw richauns dunk
what up holmes!
yeah that was dope. definitely the highlight of the night. i like that he's getting more time.
but i have this weird thing where i don't get too excited for dunks like that unless the hand grips the rim.
agreed but the sixers cant be choosers

Ish is coming back
season saved
Two second rounders going to NO
Wroten released
colangelo cleaning up hinkie's mess
wrotes is a legend
robert covington has attempted the 21st most-3s and made the 41st most
he has 151 attempted 3s and steph curry had 134 MADE 3s
hes shooting 30% from 3
definitely a keeper
lakers about to win in boston
nn is so good when hes not on the court with fat jah...get that obese mother farger off my team
nn lovss ish smith so much
mt boogie about to explode in the second half if this game stays close or god forbid it looks like the kings are def gonna lose
sixers best centers:
1. nn
2. richaun
3. fat boy
nn is the ultimate above the rim guy
Ish is not a good defender and will never be able to shoot but the difference with Noel when he has someone competent who plays to his strengths is night and day.
tj mconnell was the point guard for most of the year...not much more needs to be said...more than the point guard tho he needs fat jah gone...that holds him back more than anything else
I guess if the sixers are going to win it might as well be against sactown

Maybe. It always seemed like next year they were going to try to win more anyway. I don't think Ish moves them out of the cellar by himself.
I never have really bought needing veterans to develop the culture as a line of thinking, but it probably doesn't hurt to have a semi-competent pg for Noel's development.
the story isnt about whether coangelo or any of his moves will ruin their pick...its just making an anology to hinkie and burry and the similarities and differences in their theories and what came of them
i think veterans are absolutely crucial to the development of young players....i just dont believe its crucial this year and more importantly i dont believe young players can be ruined by not having veterans for a year or two...once the tank is over and you are ready to win then you bring in the veterans
none of this would have happened if dumb ass jah didnt do all that stupid shtein causing a ridiculous overreaction by the league
simmonds still a clear one for me but i would not be mad at getting Brandon ingram...his upside is tremendous
totally agree.
if he does nothing else he has a really good chance to be an all nba defender...man does he guard with his length...and takes it seriously for a freshman
ingram and Simmonds both now on tv
Sixers to retire Dolph Schayes' No. 4 on Jan. 23 (http://www.csnphilly.com/basketball-philadelphia-76ers/sixers-retire-dolph-schayes-no-4)
lakers now only two back of New Orleans
QuoteThe halftime performance at the Thursday, January 14 game against the Chicago Bulls is presented by Coors Light and features Montell Jordan singing his platinum hit, "This Is How We Do It".
I wanna say it was either the Lakers or Clips (I think it was the Clips) that had him perform sometime last season and it was beyond awful.
they also have naughty by nature...tag team and cupid coming up later in the year
I'd still go see NBN today. I wouldn't be caught within 50 miles of a Tag Team show back when they were sort of a thing, much less today.
Speaking of NBN, I rember catching them at some sort of hip-hop-palooza type show at the Mann Music Center during the summer of 92. 19 Naughty Three was getting ready to drop and they did Hip Hop Hooray....crowd went nuts.
robert getting his stroke back.
up by 23 nbd.
i expect this 16 point halftime lead to be 3 at the end of the 3rd.
Pretty close -- it's down to 6
i originally wrote 2 then changed it to 3.
mcbuckets can't dunk
That's lil guys boy
if i had to pick an nba player to walk me through a dark alley, it would be jimmy butler
i dont want the sixers to win and im pretty sure brett brown doesnt either...butler is going HAM and his backcourt for the last five minutes at least has been stauskus who is one of the worst defenders in the nba and ish smith...finally now he just brought in jakar but jesus christ what is he doing
how bad of a shooter is ish smith?...heinrich just left him to double nn
dougie dunked one i take it back
but yeah i was just saying the same thing...some odd rotations going on by BB
Butler is out of his mind
Ish!
Does anyone shoot better than Ish? Not likely.
farger shoots well under 30% for his career and is going to hit that....they better not farging win this game
bunch of idiots
farg adam silver
OT should be sudden death.
sudden death no fouls
this shtein needs to end so i can concentrate on spurs cavs...but of course not...OT...timeouts...
e'twan moore...best SG in the league?
lol what is jakarr doing
such a smooth handle
ball game
im gonna kill ish smith
FOUL!!!!!!!
half a second difference and they don't foul
this team is so farging dumb
zoom: the sixers couldnt hear brett brown telling them to foul
the clocks are even....how the farg does anyone above five years old not know to foul there...these farg sticks need to be told?
yeah it really shouldn't matter. bunch of dummies.
what the farg was that NN
ish had those two late shot clock threes somehow but once covey sat down their offense basically was shot
Just caught the recap on sportcenter. Clutch loss. Thank you Jimmy Butler
im going on saturday and really wanted to be able to root for them...still up in the air about it but had they lost tonight there was no chance so im really happy with this for more than one reason
i'm all for the process and losing and simmons etc. but they way they lost tonight is what kills me.
unless BB is some evil genius, I think this team is just stupid and not getting any smarter basketball wise.
its very possible not a single one of them will be on the roster when/if they become good so they got that going for them
also simmonds best attribute might be his basketball iq...so GET
who's your choice when the sixers get the third pick?
if that happened i dont know that id survive lottery night....so i guess it doesnt matter
https://gfycat.com/UnsteadyJaggedHookersealion
His jumper is ugly as farg to begin with, but that one takes the cake.
that was the point in the game where jimmy butler knew he had to score 53 pts
Sauce is shooting 48% from 3 so far in 2016. on almost 4.5 shots per game.
him and robert getting their strokes back will be clutch.
if one of those guys stays long term it has to be covey....stauskus cant guard me...covey isnt a lock down defender but hes tolerable if hes stretching the floor on the other end...staukus cant do simple shtein like stay in front of his man much less guard a pnr
there was a game a couple weeks ...maybe the laker game i cant recall...where he scored 16 pts and was a minus 25...thats pretty special
i totally agree. i've realized the fact that sauce is never going to do a lot of stuff great, but if he can do one thing well, shoot 3s, thats all we need. and his D has actually been a little better lately. still don;t know why he was guarding butler so much last night though.
i can see them both sticking around long term as bench guys.
hollis, jakarr, TJ, canaanballs all need to go.
unreal 20-2 4q run gets the sixers back to within a bucket
32-12 run gives them the lead...craziness
all done with jah on the wood
Are they too good for their own good now? Beginning to worry they might be, there are fewer games where they look overwhelmingly horrible.
I don't really mind them winning, I'm all for them getting the maximum number of wins that still gets them the most lottery balls. And I don't mind them playing well in games if they throw them away at the end. Just don't want to see them hurt their chances.
i would much rather be the sixers than the knicks right now.
and these red jerseys are so pretty.
haha....hollis misses three free throws at the line then hits a guarded three for the lead
I need them to lose every game the rest of the year but today has been fun as shtein....easily the best watch of the season so far
nn has 16-11 and has been ten times better on the defensive end today....hes been INSANE guarding the rim
Ish is clutch
its amazing how much better a team they are when fat jah isn't on the floor bringing everything on offense to a halt and weakening the defense ten fold
what a game
How don't you foul there?
you don't foul cause he was in shooting position but why was he playing off him....nerlens went brain dead and forgot what the situation was

sixers are the least clutch team (pts per possession in close late situations) since 1997
all part of brett's plan. they could make them but are told not to.
uh oh. sixers might be too good all of a sudden.
farg the nba and farg that fat alcoholic meathead jahlil okafor
on top of them killing their own pick the Miami pick is inching towards getting dangerously close to being protected
3 wins back of lakers
also good to see them win "every now and again," right?
the kings are the 8th seed at the moment also. not looking good for bensim. besi. bimmons.

my god nerlens is on fire tonight. most aggressive i've ever seen him.

I find that hard to believe. We talking overall numbers or % full?
The Nets place seems pretty dead unless they play someone good. Also the Pistons stand out as being the best team the fans don't seem to care about. If I was allowed a third guess it would be the Nuggets. Stan the Man's been concentrating on LA football too much to give a shtein about the Nuggets and it's rubbing off on the fans.
I was thinking the Nets, Hawks or Pistons
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on January 28, 2016, 04:47:33 PM

If one of them is the Hawks that's more pathetic than the Pistons fans even. That's a legitimate contender.
One thing about the Sixers attendance is you can't really blame the fans. It's a miracle there are as many of them as there are. Although personally I enjoy watching the tank job more than I enjoyed watching them when they were mediocre. At least with the tank job you have the illusion of hope and every night you are looking for small things that the team is going to build on. When they were a bottom-of-the-playoffs type team, there was rarely a sense that they were ever going to leave that rut.
i would say nets and maybe magic. hawks have actually had good attendance recently.
i was looking at avg #....not % full
the answer is minny and denver.
for % full it is indeed YOUR sixers
i was going to say twolves and nets.....white people in hockey country hate basketball and they don't draw well the few times they have been "good"...literally no one cares about the nets and I believe Barclays is the smallest arena in the league so even the few times they draw well like against the knicks they are still not getting the number most teams would...I guess theres enough transients in nyc that keep them out of the bottom three
also hawks aren't a contender....in fact they are close to starting a reboot and may do so at the trade deadline
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 28, 2016, 07:57:20 PM

t-wolves "glory years" of 01-02-03-04 they were 11th, 14th, 18th and 11th in attendance.
hmm minny makes sense but denver is surprising.
I feel like Denver is Minneapolis but with snow boarders instead of hockey players
Broncos are probably eating up roughly 100% of the sports coverage there at the moment too.

lakers have lost ten in a row and are on the road for 7 of their next 8 in what is a brutal stretch..by the end of all this the sixers will no longer have the worst record in the nba
Can't see the nba not handing Simmons over to the Lakers.
Ingram isn't a bad consolation unless the sixers somehow wind up picking 3rd...again
since the league farged over the sixers by shoving coangelo dantoni and ish smith down the sixers throats the least they should do is give them the number one pick...wouldn't surprise me either since coangelo did them a favor and is beloved by the league office
and while they aren't the lakers philly is a huge market with a tons of history...league really wants them to be good

the sixers are a pretty worthless nba franchise. in the nba the lakers and knicks are in a category unto themselves. the celtics and bulls are next in line. right now the warriors are a huge draw but that wont last forever. then theres the big market teams like the sixers, mavs, rockets, heat, bullets that matter more because the 25 rating they pull in is bigger than the 25 rating the bucks or blazers get.
its a star driven league. lebron is in a terrible market and the biggest draw in the sport. it dont matter where the big guys go.
wait the two biggest cities in the country are the most important to the nba?...get the farg out of here
also you cant say it doesn't matter where the stars go then say some cities matter way more than others...because the nba is star driven...the best teams almost always have the stars
so either it matters where stars go or individual cities matter don't matter

thats actually exclusive to the nba. in mlb, the dodgers are barely a top 5 team, in the nhl and now nfl they are irrelevant. new york, of course, is always super important.
when listing the cities i was speaking more in broad terms, not specifically accounting for what players they have right now. like the warriors, on the whole, are on the sixers level of a draw but are now perhaps the biggest in the league. to make it easy:
1. la
2. ny
3. stars
4. big market teams like philly, houston, dallas, bay area
5. everyone else
so right now cleveland and okc are in group 3 but when lebron/durant leave they will be back in group 5

he's still not running or jumping

Bklyn wins
man jeremi has really started putting it together this year. after the first two months i would have been happy with straight cutting him but now i see him as a key piece. still needs to calm down a bit but dude can sky. would have been nice to see him in the dunk contest.
I love his improvement on defense but unless he develops some sort of shot on offense I cant see him ever being a key piece
he shoots something like 19% from the floor outside of 5 feet...its actually comical...he needs to be able to stretch the floor to be a key piece...my hope right now is for him to become a defensive stopper he has all the skills and more to do that
ok well yeah i agree i guess key is too strong of a word. but he can definitely be a niche guy on D and work slower dudes on offense. i hated him in november so thats enough for me.
Agreed
He's turning into a solid bench guy. Nice seeing his development
covey is feelin it tonight.....7th three

As much as I'd love for this to happen, I just don't see it with a first year player. Unless they're blown away by an offer I think they're waiting until they see what they have with Embiid before they make a move with Oak.
thats still my guess too but i woke up with a weird boner this morning that we got blake.
in a sense I get why they wouldn't move okafor while embiid is being shipped off to qatar now for treatment...which by the way is probably the end of his nba career...it would be a bad PR look...but at the same time I cant imagine real basketball people turning down a good offer for okafor as if hes some awesome player....they are a significantly better team when hes not on the court
Bucks inquiring about Kendall Marshall.
Not sure how salaries match up or what other pieces would need to be included, but I'd be down with a deal that sends Jah to Chi-town for Gasol. Sixers still have a big incase Embiid is done and he can play 4 and 5, so should work well with Nerlins.
gasol is a thousand years old and basically cooked...they would never ever do that
yeah no thanks...pau will be retired before this team makes any noise.
That trade is apauling.
He's got 2 years left on his current deal. If they think Embiid is cooked, he could basically be a band aid until they get another big. Obviously there would need to be draft pick(s) involved coming the Sixers way, otherwise you're going young for old, which would be awful and completely against the grain for Hinkie.
Bucks were asking about Rubio too
Marshall and Rubio play what position again?
lil guy can't be happy they're looking for another point. What about MCW?! Think of the children! Rookie of the year!

The biggest deal was probably the Nets finally hiring a GM 5 hrs before the deadline.

not exactly the point
I still find it strange as hell to waste a roster spot on Brand. The Sixers are running their own Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I read that at one point Brett Brown asked Brand if it was okay to ever make him active. It's like a boss going up to a guy in the office, "Hey I know you're just here to farg around on the Internet and collect a paycheck, but if we ever get a lot of work is it okay if I ask you to do some?"
Since he dresses like this on the bench, why not just make him a "coach"? Or would moving him over to "management" make him ineligible to be Jah's professional best friend?
(http://nbatitlechase.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Elton-Brand-In-Street-Clothes-On-76ers-Bench.jpg)

or hes going to sign a two year deal with denver
gotta be some kind of rule where if you cut a guy to make a trade happen, the the trade gets voided, you can "uncut" the guy.
not that i care in this instance because jakarr is trash but seems a bit unfair.
I was thinking the same thing. If a trade gets nullified for any reason, then all subsequent roster moves that were a direct result of that trade should also be voided.
you cant reverse all subsequent roster moves that could get potentially real messy and wouldn't be fair to the players...the union would never agree...you could simply have traded players not count against a teams roster until final league approval
either way the sixers deserve whatever they get for having elton brown eating up a roster spot....shtein you could have released him and easily signed him after the deal
the fact that they didn't do that tho tells me jakarr being waived had less to do with the trade and more to do with how the sixers felt about him
QuoteThe Philadelphia 76ers offered Ish Smith, Nik Stauskas, an expiring contract and a 2016 first round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for Dennis Schroder.
Smith couldn't have been included in a multi-player deal since he had been acquired fewer than 60 days before the deadline, but he could have been moved in a second deal.
Smith is expected to have significant interest in free agency.
The Sixers and Hawks could revisit their trade talks in June."
assuming thats not the lakers pick i'd do that in a second.
and what has happened to oladipo, looked like he was turing into a stud last year.

All in all this makes sense....except the part about it being unfair to the player. If a player is released and isn't claimed, he goes back to his team. Be a professional, understand it wasn't personal, collect your half mil and try to ball out for a better contract.
If the released player is claimed or comes to an agreement with another team, then at least give the team a crappy draft pick at the end of the 2nd round or something. Or hell, just make that the rule whether the player gets picked up or not. Should be some sort of minimal compensation in place for a situation like this, even if it's pretty rare.
meh now that i think about it in the grand scheme of things, you're not normally going to have a team like the sixers who could literally cut 3-4 people without having a negative effect, and in this case jakarr actually makes out also. and a contingency clause or something is probably even more of a fleshpop move to the player.

you can't allow a player to fly around the country negotiate a contract better his situation then say sorry bud deals off get back to where you belong
really it's a waste of an argument as the union would never allow this nor should they
the system is fine as it is but like I said if you want to change it just allow teams to carry extra players until a deal is ratified
this magic team collectively has the worst hair in the league bar none.

He's still alive?
i have no idea why i remember this but i remember him playing in the mcdonalds game with elton brand. so he's old but not crazy old.
I guess he's the developmental life coach they eventually see growing into that Elton Brand role on the team.
Definitely aged a bit since the last time he was in the NBA.

they cant catch the lakers the most ping pong balls is locked up....I just don't want to ever see him in a sixer uniform again
and sacramento is way to good to have any effect on ping pong balls this year....remember the sixers can only swap with them....the chances of that are next to nothing
the 6 has a 6.3% chance of getting the top pick
not exactly likely but if you add it to the 25% the 1 has....
whats amazing is that you want the lakers to finish 2nd not 3rd...cause somehow the odds for them to get 4 is better if they finish higher
you have a better chance of watching the tourney at my crib than the lakers do of catching the suns or nets
i just said you don't want them to even try

This is what's really frustrating about it. Whether you've been on board with "the process" or against it, the entire thing is basically nearing it's climax and now someone else had to finish the job. It'd be like replacing the director of a movie when it's like 80% complete.
Also, I gave up reading that letter on page 3. And am I the only one who got really annoyed about his comment about how O'Neil will separate fans from their wallets throughout the Delaware Valley when the team is good?
Obviously anyone who had a stake in the team wants to make money, and that's fine, but that comment really rubbed me the wrong way.
I was never really on board with the process but yeah, this is a fleshpop move. if this was the thought then it should've been done right when colangelo came in.

QuoteThe Kendricks follow in the footsteps of team founder and former owner Jerry Colangelo. Colangelo, along with other baseball executives and ex-players, launched a group called Battin' 1000: a national campaign that uses baseball memorabilia to raise funds for a Campus for Life, the largest anti-choice student network in the country. Colangelo was also deputy chair of Bush/Cheney 2004 in Arizona, and his deep pockets created what was called the Presidential Prayer Team—a private evangelical group that claims to have signed up more than 1 million people to drop to their knees and pray daily for Bush.
Under Colangelo, John McCain also owned a piece of the team. The former maverick said before the bill's passage that he "understood" why it was being passed because "the drivers of cars with illegals in it [that] are intentionally causing accidents on the freeway."

in the reality based world all he was was a cat who was in the business of getting really bad and acquiring assets to hopefully one day be really great....period end of story
i dont disagree with that, but its plainly obvious he just couldnt handle the job for a variety of reasons

end game
QuoteThe simple fact of the matter is that in three years Sam Hinkie showed that he was a poor talent evaluator. Nerlens Noel isn't Steven Adams or Rudy Gobert, Michael Carter-Williams isn't Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid isn't Aaron Gordon, Jahlil Okafor isn't Kristaps Porzingis. Hinkie drafted over 10 players in the second round and tore through D-Leaguers and end-of-the-benchers via trade and ended up with just one (or maybe two) back-of-the-rotation players. One of the few times he did find something resembling real talent in the second round—K.J. McDaniels—Hinkie offered the player an insulting contract and soon traded him.
If poor talent evaluation were Hinkie's only sin, he'd probably still have a job. But he was a poor talent evaluator whose master plan required one of the worst three-year stretches in NBA history, the alienation of 76ers fans, the destruction of working relationships with agents and other executives, and a dramatic drop-off in profits for the 76ers owners before it could start being carried out.
Hinkie amassed a ton of draft picks and constantly used the 76ers' cap room to force his way into trades and acquire small assets. There's an irony in the fact that, with the full quiver of picks that he's rightfully proud of coming due in the 2016 draft, the smartest move for the 76ers is having anybody but Hinkie decide what to do with them.
that entire first paragraph could be 100% right or 100% wrong and will probably be in between.
nerlens will 100% have a batter career than farging steven adams...good chance goobers too although he has shown real promise.
i actually loved gordon on draft day and still do, but still too early to say anything about embed. i'm a pessimist who thinks he'll prob never play but if somehow he gets healthy he could easily be better.
okafor will 100% have a better career than kristaps. won't be with the sixers but he has an all-star career ahead of him.
and to end it with KJ being a mistake, dude is hot garbage. what a waste of an article.
it's all about 3-4 #1s this year and a few free agents. could still be a top 2 team in the east in a few years as everyone else gets older. no point making a change now.
kristaps and embiid are his two moves that can legitimately be criticized
imo embiid was worth the gamble....and lol at Gordon over him...gordon is an exciting finisher but hes so limited as a player...prasing Gordon and ripping nn is beyond stupid...they almost have the exact same plusses minuses in their games...does this author watch the nba?
that said he made a terrible mistake taking okafor.....altho even there theres an important caveat...I believe he took okafor because he was at the time a better asset that could be flipped...again that's a problem cause he should have taken the better player but it doesn't necessarily speak to a lack of player evaluation...it would instead point out a problem with the process
basically look at the record of 99.9% of not just nba but sports gm's records and you can have 20/20 vision and find a player they should have taken that went after a guy they did take...thats some grade school shtein of looking at things by a person with an agenda
also lololol at taking a shot at nn by saying steven adams is better then big upping kj mcdaniels....what moron wrote that piece?

How many of us around here work in sports journalism?
i got it from deadspin but its on point
just think about it like this. its 3 years into a tank and they have exactly 0 stars or true building blocks.
nn is an athlete with limited basketball skills
okafor is a fat tard
jojo has the legs of a 70 year old
saric is a total unknown
everyone else is a marginal rotation player at best
but ooooo draft picks!
Just wait until they start signing shtein players to max deals and are in the running for the 6-8th seed.
thats not going to happen
thats such a lazy, thoughtless knee jerk reaction....like theres only 2 possible roads: tanking until you get lebron james or signing kenny thomas to try to get the 7 seed
Yeah it's a lazy reaction. What's Colangelo's GM history? The lazy reaction is that of you and your ilk who wanted Hinkie gone. Thanks to the zesty NBA set up you have to farging suck to get better.
Speaking of Hinkie -- they made fans take off Hinkie shirts in order to be allowed to take part in a FT shooting contest
bryan coangelo actually has a solid resume
and while I think hinkie got a bullshtein raw deal from the nba and a weak univested ownership group I also think the hinkie bots an their sky is falling they are now going to sign ryan anderson to a max deal are being hysterical hyperbolic drama queens
the sickening thing with all this is reading jerry coangelos history...jesus is he a despicable person
Nerlens, RoCo and Ish with nice games
Take Hollis out and put him down. 1-11
Got that over 101.5 bareeeely

durrrrr hinkie told me to trust da process so i gotta do that
well you are the same person just on the other side of the coin...cluelessly spouting off how hinkie was the devil is no different than what they are doing now
i never said he was the devil....just in over his head as a gm of a real team
dude knows how to collect assets though

this thing never had a chance hinkie or no hinkie with that toolbag owner
good god what a detestable organization. nepotism at gm, a hairy funhole at president and a used up condom at owner. end franchise.
when nn grant and covey are on the floor they out score opponents 105-98
when okafor joins them it moves to 92-113
I already knew oak sucked but that is insane
i have a bad feeling that this new front office family is going to try to erase the hinkie era and decide to go forward with jahlil instead of NN.
sixers chucked up the 3rd most 3 pointers OF ALL TIME last night.
probably not a good game plan for a team who can't shoot for shtein.
3rd worst 3 point % in the nba and one of the teams below them is Memphis who doesn't shoot them and is an interior based team
I guess it's a silver lining they missed 33 3 pointers and only lost by 1.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201604100PHI.html
46 3 pt attempts. 33 misses.
players with 230+ blocks and steals in their first two seasons
the admiral
the dream
andrei kirilenko
nn
When I see Hollis come into the game I just know he's going bombs away.
Also - I agree with Matty that this new regime is going to probably blow up the Hinkie progress (aka assets for lil guy's pleasure) and trade and sign people without any regard to the future.
they are not going to do that
its nothing more than hinkie bot twitter paranoia
sixers learned how to shoot tonight. just a tad too late.
covey had one less three last night than the bulls have players dressed tonight
hope they can keep this up the rest of the season.
If D'Antoni receives intriguing offers, Sixers' GM Bryan Colangelo may decide to fire head coach Brett Brown, per @KBergCBS.
Here we go
god forbid they lose hof coach brett brown
Oh so you're on board with farging Mike D'Antoni?! Get outta here
It's the beginning of the decimation of tanking. Colangelo is going to ruin it by bringing in a lousy coach and signing guys to stupid deals
Oh and Chicago is ripping off a 55-34 run now
how do you know that colangelo is going to do that? this is a stupid hinkie cult narrative than only the almighty sam knows how to put a team together and that everyone else is going to go balls out for the 8 seed.

so in your opinion brett brown is a worse coach than dantoni since you still want the sixers to tank next year...a year when embiid saric a top 3 pick plus two more number ones this year are all coming?
i'm no dantoni fan, and i actually think brett is a good dude, but i've come to the conclusion that he's not a good coach.
props to him for sticking with it through this mess but not sure it's a big deal.
also, colangelo would fire the head coach so he doesn't lose the assistant coach? seems pretty ridiculous if that is any way true.

I believe Colangelo is going to farg up by signing guys to stupid contracts.

That thing is dumb as hell. It's more like a randomizer than a mock draft. If you refresh it enough times, you'll cycle through all 2100+ possible lottery/draft outcomes.
How could it simulate the lottery if it wasn't a randomizer? I like these things because most people don't have a very intuitive sense about odds.
Sixers have a better chance of dropping out of the top 3 than landing the #1.

Or how bout this one "In Chip we Trust"
i remember dumb internet monikers but i dont see how either justified keeping around incompetent talent evaluaters
Did some pretty heavy duty procrastination at the office this week and rigged up an NBA draft lottery spreadsheet that takes the trades into account. Now as they announce the picks I can watch how the Sixers odds change. Here are the starting odds.
49.5% to get one of the top 2 picks
44.2% to get the Lakers pick
4.8% to swap picks with the Kings
13.4% to get both the #1 pick and the #4
32.3% to have no picks in the top 3
Odds for the Sixers getting individual picks:
#1 26.9%
#2 22.6%
#3 18.2%
#4 64.2%
#5 12.3%
Google is your friend
i thought the lowest they could get is 4

So a team that couldn't sell out if they were giving away free blow and hookers sells ad space to a ticket scalping outfit?

not that its surprising or anything but ben simmons badly wants the lakers to win the lottery tomorrow nite
damn so that macnow dude compared the hinkie cult to the psu rape deniers. then scott o'neill called it a must read. talk about shteinting on your fans. i mean yeah many of the process kids are quite annoying but i can't think of any ownership team doing a 180 as bad as these guys.
Whoa really?!
definitely not the best to compare anything to rape, but its apt to link the hinkie nerds to any other head in the sand cult
the trust the process geeks are a small but vocal group who really have no bearing on anything except for getting MAD ONLINE at people who arent in their werido cult
the CEO of a sports team should not publicly take a shtein on a group of fans that passionately support your team, regardless of how annoying they are. just seems like an idiotic move.
most likely he retweeted or something without even reading it because who reads macnow but still dumb.
I didn't know Macnow wrote for anyone
Agreed that he prob just RT'd it
But yeah - don't shtein on the fans. Ever.
yes, shtein on the fans. fans are dorks. farg them. get over yourselves.
You don't get how business works do you?
Sports teams and leagues have been shteining on their fans forever. They'll still make money. Can't compare sports to a regular business. Business has customers, sports has fans. While they are technically the same thing, there's really nothing similar between them.
you cant shtein on them anymore than he did by firing hinkie and going thru the fake search to hire coangelo...anything after that is like pissing on a dead body
realistically does anyone think we get 1 tonight?
i have a bad feeling it's gonna be the celtics taking that BK pick.

i don't know who is but the sixers aren't getting 1 or 2 (one and two are the same this year....its not like last year with KAT where you had to get one)
worst fears will be realized
I personally cannot wait for the Dragan Bender era
jamal murray wouldn't be the worst consolation prize in the world but they farging have to get 1 or 2
i actually think murray and dunn are both gonna be nice players. god i want 1-2 or 2-4 so bad. more than i've hoped for anything in sports in a really long time.
i wanted the number 1 last year (and the year before for that matter) much more than i want simmons or ingram this year
but in a general sense this year is huge because the drop off is so massive after #2 and also because they have failed massively in the last two lotteries...for the fans psyche alone they need it this year
last year at this time we still had the chance of getting 1, 6, and 11 later that night in the lottery.
KAT, mudiay and booker.
6, 11 last year 4 this year don't mean shtein to me....obviously not saying I wouldn't want them but they have more than enough middle of the road pieces....they need the superstars...its why 1-2 is everything this year and why KAT was everything last year and why jo jo getting healthy has always been by far the most important thing
i'm not disagreeing. anything other than 1-2 is a major disappointment no doubt. just pointing out how hopeful i was last year on this day. not so hopeful this year.
they'd still have the best shot at the #1 this year regardless if they got those dudes or not.
