i mean, this is one of the worst supporting casts we've ever seen. Coming at a time where the next supposed co-star to Embiid has fallen off a level, and would prefer to facilitate rather than do it all. Danny Green and Niang not being able to hit the ocean from the beach couldn't have came at a worse time. 

This Heat team is weird. They're like a version of the Spurs without the top tier talent. Whose been their best player so far, Tyler Herro? 

Butler and Bam have been really good on both ends of the court.

[Derek Bodner] So far, Matisse Thybulle has as many COVID shots (1) as made shots against the Heat (1) in 34 combined minutes of play this series.

Remember when he was untouchable? How much better off would we be if we traded him to the Nets instead of Curry? 

Has anyone seen this clip. Redick killing it

embiid being out really shows how turrible his supporting cast is. the roster needs a compete overhaul, imo. maxey is the only untouchable. they need some long, athletic guys on the wings. they need more consistent shooters. they need better rebounders at the forward positions.  they need a backup pg.  they need a lot. 

morey needs to be very busy this offseason.  harden doesn't deserve anywhere near the max he wants. tobi needs to be traded. thybulle needs to be traded before his value completely dries up...if it hasn't already. shake & kork can go. jordan & milsap need to retire. they can't come back next season with niang being their best guy off the bench. that's just embarrassing. and glenn needs to get sheetcanned.

other than that, they're fine. heat in 5, btw. 

I’ve said this for a while their past mistakes are catching up to them and their wasting of assets is likely going to be the reason that they never win a championship. You can’t waste as many draft picks, assets and cap space and it not eventually catch up to you. Other contenders make a mistake or two. But the sixers routinely make them and then compound them. The team is at that this point because of ownership, poor GMs and bad player development outside of embiid and maxey.

honest question what first round picks by the sixers has lived up to expectations or surpassed them since the process started? It’s really only embiid and maxey. Everyone else was either a flop or never met the expectation of what they should’ve been. 

Then you add making bad moves that consistently been made. Have the trading of bridges. Have the sign and trade of butler. You have the signing of horford. The trade of horford to get broken down green and give up a first. Have the harden trade which is trending into bad. Thybulle should’ve been dealt last year at max value. He has been the same player since entering the league and they overpaid for him in the draft cause sixers couldn’t keep their mouths shut. For every good trade like the one that managed to get us the pick to acquire maxey you have 2-3 horrible moves. 

the problem is the sixers are stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of trying to completely overturn this roster. There’s not enough guys available FA that we need in order to make the roster better than teams ahead of us in suns, bucks (when healthy), Boston and warriors. Add on if there was we don’t have the cap space to do it. if you want to make a trade what do the sixers have that has great value? Only ones that do are embiid and maxey and we aren’t trading either. Harris and thybulle aren’t getting you much. I doubt a team like the wizards couldn’t get better value for beal than that. Beal would have to only want to come here. I see him being cool going to a few teams. 

the reality is it is looking more and more like the past mistakes and butchering of roster construction will prevent us from being better than a 2nd round or maybe ECF team and is likely leading us to down the road trading embiid so he has a chance to win a title before his inevitable decline. 

Only way I'd even consider resigning him

Josh Harris should definitely sell the sixers to help pay for the broncos…

Idk. I don’t like him, but he’s been a fine owner. Pays top notch for his front office. I can’t complain too much.

Unless he’d except something like $20m per year, I honestly don’t have much interest. Rather try to lure Beal or Lavine with the cap space.

Idk they are definitely a part of the reason for this mess. They allowed the nba to bully them into colangelo cause he and Rubin didn’t have the balls to stand up to them. They also put Brett brown in charge one offseason and then Elton brand with little Nba FO experience in charge for one of the worst off seasons in recent sixers history. That goes back to ownership. They went and got morey and spent but they also were a part of a lot of mistakes.

Problem is have to convince Lavine or beal to come here. And there can’t be other options they want as much with better trade assets for the bulls in a sign and trade. For instance if you want Lavine (the best offer) the sixers would be willing to package to match salary in a sign and trade and give Chicago would be Harris, thybulle and picks. If there’s a team Lavine is willing to go to that has better assets than that then the bulls are going to trade him there and Lavine is fine with that.

"I feel great," Rivers told the media on Thursday. "I would rather not be down 0-2, but should I feel bad? We lost two games. You watch that film last night, we played hard. Our guys competed. Anybody that has a problem with that then there's something wrong with them."

 

 

 

Seriously..... F this guy.....

Such a loser mentality. The fact that he ever won a title says a whole lot about how stacked that Boston team was. 

[Neubeck] If they're going to triple team Harden and the open guy is just going to miss threes, there are few paths to victory here

Our local paper, The Greensboro News & Record, was openly hoping that we flame out in the 2nd round so that we fire Doc so that Jordan can hire him to coach the Hornets.  Seriously.

We’d have been better off with Drummond at center, Curry at SG and Maxey at PG right now than this current lineup. Can we undo the trade real quick and get Curry and Drum on a plane?

Or if we could have included Thybulle in the trade instead of Seth that would have been big.

It was obvious from the moment that Kawhi Leonard shot fell that the result of the process (which I supported, FWIW) was not going to produce a champion, but would provide an entertaining and competitive basketball team.

The 76ers are not going to win a title with this foundation or Embiid.  /story.  

But...for whatever it's worth, the disappointingly early exit in these playoffs will help them next year.  Harden ain't getting a max deal.  Not happening.  He knows it.  His Nets failure combined with these playoffs just might cause him to dedicate himself to his body this offseason, come crawling back to the 76ers, and actually give the 2023 roster a better and cheaper than expected Harden.

If Embiid gets the stupid MVP award out of the way, then they can go back to aggressive load management for the glass giant.  He'll still be hurt by the end of the playoff run, but they'll have him healthier longer.

It won't result in a title, but it might get them through round 2 next year.

Sort of remarkable that the trade ended up being Curry/Drummond for Harden and it's close to a tie.

How many games did Curry play for the Nets before his season ending injury?

It wasn't season ending, he missed 7 out of 25 games came back for the last 2 out of 3 and played in the playoffs.
