I **** love Joel Embiid.
I have spent the last two day in a depressing stupor because I want....nah NEED this dude to win. Its a weird thing that it would be like a validation of all of the stupid time I have spent on this team. I legit would probably stop watching the sport if we ever somehow won lol.
That being said because I have spent all my time watching this godforsaken team, I know how it goes. This isn't a diss to Jo at all either, **** wears on you. You do everything right and your body still betrays you. His emo Biid games generally come in games in which the other team gets super hot and his broken ass body can't keep up. Hasn't happened so far but idk feels like it will and the fact that we don't have the firepower to keep up in said scenario I can almost picture it lol.
Its a glass hall full vs half empty here. We have had a chance to win both games and Biid and Maxey have played well and we have locked down Brunson. BUT we also have lost two games with Brunson playing like ****. Chances are that either Brunson will have a breakout game and Biid or Maxey will have an off night... law of averages and all that jazz yknow. They can and have survived Brunson's off night, we haven't shown that we can. I say this every year if I didn't give a **** about this team, this would be a very interesting series because its interesting to see if adjustments can either swing the series or blow it wide open

Been a fan of all four teams since the early '70's, and each team has had far more heartbreak, blown chances, and bad luck than championships, and it's not remotely close. You know what? I wouldn't trade it for all the Boston, NY, or anywhere else's championships and success.
I can think of so many incredible moments, uniquely Philly moments that no one outside of here would ever get, some of them obscure to the point that most people here wouldn't even remember them, and because they were hardly commonplace, the championships meant so much more than they do in a place like NY, where they're obsessed with 'counting' titles.
When I hear or see "if ______ happens, I'm done with this team", my first thought is "don't let the door hit you in the ass". I'm not nearly as big a fan as I was 20-30 years ago, but I'll stop watching the sport (which I've done with the NFL) before quitting one of our teams. Sorry for the venting.

You can have the "uniquely Philly moments".
I'll take some damn titles.

In my personal life I can confidently say there are friends of mine who are very negative people and are more secretly excited when a Philly team falters in the Playoffs because then they have something to moan about and then play armchair GM of what we should've done. They enjoy the drama more than the actual sport. Nobody ever is "done with this team". It's just copium.

You really don’t have the right to tell other people how to be a fan. Ok so winning isn’t everything to you, cool. That’s you. Of course the “moments” are fun. But you’ve been a fan of this team for all of these years and you know ALL of the BS the fans have gone through and I don’t need to list them. Taking that in to consideration, people are going to vent, especially on a freaking internet message board. You condemning people for it as if you're the gatekeeper of fandom is rather rich.
