I've always wondered this and I don't mean this in a smug or contentious way:

When the average age of the entire user base is probably in the mid 20's, why do the rules here treat people like they are 13?

This is 2017. Saying F you to someone should not be a big deal.

Word to CeeLo.


I felt great satisfaction from doing so. No ragrets at all.

We want a higher level of discourse than that?

Go walk into a Raptors bar and start yelling F you at people see how long you last lol.

It's good to have NBA basketball back....Feels like the early Iverson days, but with more potential

We are legitimately not a horrible team anymore, but the other fanbases don't realize it yet.

I've been paying attention as I'm a huge fan of The Process. I knew this game would be extremely tough. Embiid is the man, I said it as early as November that I'd easily take him over Towns, and that's starting to look true. The Sixers are nowhere near as talented as the Wolves yet the Wolves are lifeless, play with no heart or energy and are a general mess. The Sixers on the other hand are a joy to watch and The Process puts them at a playoff level when he's on the floor. His impact is undeniable. This was the toughest defense the Raptors have faced all season. I don't think I've seen a player crowd relationship in the NBA like him and Philly since AI too.

Alright my love letter to Embiid is done. Best of luck the rest of the way.

dont get me wrong, i LOVE how this young group plays and grow together, but its a HUGE mistake if we dont cash in on our pick. maybe its too late already :x


pick swap with the kings...


a star-caliber guard is WAY more worth than a 10th pick (kings' pick current rank)


we're too deep into this thing right now. who knows, sixers could go on a 10 game losing streak again and we'll be right back in the mix for fultz

Maybe, didn't see enough to really know. I've personally never seen anything like it.

lol oh please, sports brings out emotion and expletives in everyone. It invokes passion. A couple F you's back and forth and you laugh about it and move on. If alcohol is involved things could get heated, but this isn't a bar, this is an internet forum, it's different.

And I'll even argue the "F word" being "offensive" in 2017 is incredibly archaic. It's another term for the word sex that was invented in the middle ages, and for some reason people today still take offense to it.

Read the last few pages of their main game thread. Lots of blaming the refs and just random anger.

Funny stuff.

They do still have an open sticky thread about how Lowry got pwned.

Next ten games:

Home: POR, LAC, HOU, SAC
Away: ATL, MIL, CHI, SAS, DAL, MIA

5 wins and i'm being pessimistic because I don't know if we'll keep playing like this.

They were putting in work over there in the game thread though. They were like 71 pages deep and then a few more in other threads that got locked.

They're Canadian. They'll probably apologize and then offer to buy you a beer.
