As I said before, I sincerely very very sincerely doubt the amount of basketball that you watch.  But if you do actually watch as much as you claim then it's really sad because you have such a low level of comprehension of the game.  

Well, we all now doubt the amount of basketball you watch because you openly lied about it.

This is you talking into a mirror.  Just stop.  It went from bad to worse quickly.  

Something tells me TRK has no idea the 6ers are actively playing against the celtics in summer league as we speak.

Dude, sign off and find a new message board.  Ben was single handed responsible for at least 2 losses, possibly 3.  Doc lost game 1 for us.  Stop pretending like you watching basketball.

 

He was.  Where am I not saying he wasn't responsible for losses?  As I stated in that very post, "His cowardice on offense and meltdown at the FT line during the playoffs is what did the Sixers in."  The Sixers didn't lose because of his defense.  That aspect of his play helped the Sixers in both rounds of the playoffs.  The issue was that he was such a massive liability on offense due to his complete cowardice to take part in the offense and shoot the ball as well as the full on meltdown he was having all playoffs long at the FT line.  That hurt the Sixers so much on offense that it is the primary reason the Sixers got bounced in round 2 along with Doc Rivers love of the all bench lineups in the playoffs.  

Must be at an Imagine Dragons concert singing "Im a bad liar! Bad liar! Now you know."

 

Does RTK know we lost to Atlanta or is he still waiting for Game 7 in a couple days?

You're not watching the Sixers.  You're watching a g-league team with a small handful of young Sixers.

Did you have to look up his last name?  I am surprised you didn't call him Doc Brown.

Casual fans dont care. Interested fans have been watching what Maxey and Joe have added to their games, and evaluating the performance of our draft picks Springer and Petrusev.

Imagine watching as much as you do but completely lacking any level of comprehension of what you are watching beyond that of an extremely casual fan.

I felt this way back in April/may. If he lost the competition to Mailata (personally believed mailata would be the starter unless they named dillard the starter for the fact he was a 2019 first rounder). Even if he improved and mailata was just overall better i thought they’d look to trade him to get some draft capital back. As a backup olineman the eagles like versatility from their backups. He can only play LT at the moment. So you are paying him first round money to be strictly backup LT, he hasn’t looked good in camp and now he’s hurt again. They have Driscoll who can play both tackle spots and Clark as well. 

im one of the few who didn’t love that pick when it was made. He fell because he was an older prospect at 23 and 24 during rookie season, who had issues in every level he’s played with potentially quitting which the athletic discussed, needed to add strength and on top of it cause of the offense Wazzu runs he was a giant unknown in run blocking. He had great feet/footwork and was good pass blocker. I thought it was a huge red flag that he fell to where he did. Tbh i disliked that entire draft

Agreed on pretty much everything here. I gave him the benefit of the doubt because of Stoutland, but there were definitely red flags.

The 2019 draft is one of the worst Eagles drafts I can remember. Shareef Miller was a total project without the athleticism to even warrant the attempt. Thorson might have been a more acceptable dart throw if they had more picks, but with just 5 it was unnecessarily risky. Dillard had those red flags you mentioned, JJAW mostly won on jump balls in a soft conference. So with the only good player of the whole bunch being Miles Sanders, a RB whose position makes you question giving him a second contract regardless of his skill level, it's a uniquely terrible draft class.

Imagine being a casual fan. Trying to lie about the amount of basketball you watch to try to lend credence to your argument, because you realize you dont know enough to make an argument strong enough to stand on its own merit. So you keep hounding on the "how much basketball you watch" angle, and then get caught in a lie. So now you are clearly wrong, and outed as a pathetic liar at the same time. 

Thats a little embarrassing. 

I’m still absolutely shocked Flacco wasn’t named starter after reading the posts in real time here Thursday night.

You know it was more than Ben.  In game 7 Doc called the worst game I may have ever seen completely neutering the offense by calling the same Curry/Embiid 2 man high pick/handoff crap for the entire 2nd half.  Brutal.  Tobi just relegated to standing in the corner, allowing the Hawks to only guard 2 players for an entire half and completely removing Embiid from the low post.  

This is not a defend Ben post at all.  I was hoping he was traded after the Toronto series when he had some cache.  But Doc lost that series like he loses so many when his team is favored because he gets out coached so easily.  Doc is the one who kept Ben in the game in crucial moments, Doc stopped all ball movement, Doc didn't make the Atlanta defense move their feet, defend laterally, have to chase when it mattered most.  To me, the worst thing about Ben biting it is Doc gets a pass.  He sucked as bad as Ben.

Doc wont last long here. Another similar result next season the fans will turn up the heat on him excruciatingly.

They are either going to trade for a star like Lillard and its still not going to be enough because they have to give up so much in players and assets that the team just wont be overall stronger. And hes going to get another 1st or 2nd round exit.

Or, theyll trade Ben for a reasonable package of good player/s and picks. And probably still wont get past the 2nd round. 

Doc will be picked apart in either scenario.

In addition to the disappointing results you also have the things like his dumb rotations, his coddling of Ben, and his vetoing of Morey's trades to increase the heat.

% of responsibility for losing the series.

1.  Ben - 50%

2.  Doc - 30%

3.  Losing Danny Green/Tobi not coming up big enough - 20%

I have so little doubt that I watch more Sixers basketball than you.  You have such a low comprehension level of basketball that I truly cannot believe that you have watched a large amount of basketball over the years.

If I’m being honest i didn’t want sanders where they picked him either. I’d add sanders had concerns coming out with only one season starting cause of barkley and concerns with fumbling. It was a weak rb class and there were better players at the safety position i would’ve taken over sanders at that pick. I liked thornhill, adderley and rapp at that pick. I actually think the sanders pick cost them the player they wanted at 57 (which i still believe was mecole hardman and they thought he’d be there at 57 and reid jumped them)

Anyone catch Kellen Mond by chance? Yikes. Not even his own receivers, apparently.

Theres a lot of people here who can vouch for how much 76ers I watch. But youll just continue to pretend you watch more anyway. It doesnt even matter. 

Aside from the 6ers, if you knew what I did for a living youd realize how goofy you sound.

Then that's really sad how low of a comprehension level you have of the game.
