And to our board....

This is your annual reminder that it's easier for Rich and I to handle trolling, baiting, derailing, etc. if you do not engage them and just simply report the post to escalate it.

When you engage, it makes it harder to justify only dealing with the initial person who was trolling.

You are responsible for your own actions too. You cannot say things that violate TOS and if suspended afterwards claim that someone else's trolling made you do it.

If you want to be safe, just don't engage and report it.

Thanks.

Without our 2 best players and you barely scraped by a win.

Thats like us bragging about beating with you without Simmons or Embiid.

Congrats. Alize Johnson living in your heads.

Did u watch the game it was a easy 22 point lead then garbage time.

Hey nice try however

Lol

Here’s some basketball 101 for you defense is when you’re team tries to stop the other team from scoring and at least give us 50% effort on that end of the court.

Class dismissed

You won't beat us with our full team. Sorry its so hard for you to accept.

Why don't you go back to the Sixers board where you belong? No one wants you here.

Sixers have a chance if they have home court. People discount home court. But all 3 sixers playoff losses (sixers just sucked on the road last season 10-24) have been without home court. If you look at the last 3 seasons. Sixers have a massive home court advantage.

We will see how things roll. Nets with their star player do not need home court. But sixers are clearly a different team at home.

The Toronto series wasn’t decided in game 7. It was decided in game 4 in the final 80 seconds. Sixers win that game. Series doesnt return to game 7 in Toronto. But they lost it in the final minute

Nets have more fire power. If it’s a wide open series. Sure. Nets May roll. But also remember Simmons loves to run wide open with easy transition buckets. The last thing you want is Simmons in transition. So you want to slow it down on defense. But then they just feed Embiid. He’s drawing fouls like crazy. Harden and KD are gonna to have to double down to help out Claxon or Jordan or else they are gonna to both foul out. But they really don’t want to play defense until it matters. They dont want to waste energy on defense middle of the game double teaming Embiid.

So let’s wait and see how the playoffs play out. But don’t under estimate home court for Sixers. Their full starting 5 has lost a home playoff game since December 2019. It’s been that long.

Full team

Lol

Not one of your so called “stars” can play D

I think there’s a 50-50 chance you don’t even make it out of the first round

Your account is less than 2 weeks old and you've already been suspended twice for trolling.

If you're not a PBP and you genuinely want to last long on RealGM (let alone the Nets board), I'd highly advise you to take a much less contentious and much more conciliatory tone on the boards of other teams.

I have zero problem with people, even from rival boards, sharing a different opinion; but I little tolerance for trolling.

This is your first and only warning.

I think there are a few flaws here:

1) While the 76ers didnt have home court advantage in the 2 Boston series, They got swept in 1 and lost the other in 5. Home court advantage doesn't really come in to play until game 7. and it certainly doesnt come into play if you get swept. if you lose in 5 games or less, you just got stomped more so then falling victim to home court.

Vs. Toronto? Sure I'll buy it in that series. Especially Given how rabid the raps fans can be.

2) There isnt really home court advantage this year. especially for a Nets/Philly series with super short travel. im not sure how much 1600 fans and home rims are gonna sway anything in a series with 4 super mega stars + Ben simmons.

Nets have more fire power. If it’s a wide open series. Sure. Nets May roll. But also remember Simmons loves to run wide open with easy transition buckets.

Nets likely wont double embiid too often. just like last nights game. I think the Nets are more then fine letting Embiid get 40 and winning 128-120 type games. Too much is made of the Nets defense. when engaged, we are actually quite solid. take a look at our games vs. playoff teams. our record is outstanding and our D was rock solid in 90% of them.

I mean, the clippers statistically have the best offense this year. we handled them twice with relative ease. They on the other hand couldnt come close to stopping us.

Nets fans arent worried about defense. our biggest area of weakness is being outcoached. And we much up extremely well with philly as the one thing we typically do struggle with on D is point guards who can shoot with range.

If you examine the 2018 Boston series. The sixers blew game 2 due to lack of experience or whatever.

They blew game 3 at home in overtime. They also had a 3-4 point lead in the final 70 seconds of game 5 and blew that also. That’s just how the playoffs goes. So people look at it as 4-1 and say it wasn’t a competitive series. And it was. You have 3 of the 4 losses in the final minute of the game. That’s 2018. That’s in the past.

The sixers have controlled harden lead teams before (again at home ) and they know how to play Kyrie. KD is going to be the deciding factor. A healthy KD. Sixers aren’t likely gonna to win. KD doesn’t need the ball to be involved. Both harden and Kyrie need/wand the ball.

This one doesn't pass the smell test for me either...

1) Hard to say "lack of experience" in a series you lose to Tatum/Brown/Rozier.

2) Whether it was a "closer then it seems" 4-1 or not, homecourt still was not a factor. as mentioned, homecourt only comes in to play if it goes 7. otherwise home games are split even. if you lose in 5 or less, it wasnt home court that did you in. if you got swept, again thats not home court.

The sixers have controlled harden lead teams before (again at home ) and they know how to play Kyrie. KD is going to be the deciding factor. A healthy KD. Sixers aren’t likely gonna to win.

How Many "harden led teams" did they play that had Kyrie and KD on them?

"they know how to play kyrie" but he just dropped 37/9 on 21 shot attempts.

KD doesn’t need the ball to be involved. Both harden and Kyrie need/wand the ball.

Kyrie/Harden have arguably the best chemistry in the league and already have proven that they dont both need the ball in their hands. Kyrie/Harden had the nets at 122.4 points per 100 possesions their recent 17-2 winning run. The idea "there is only 1 ball" or that "the nets lack chemistry" is absurd to anyone who has actually watched.

Not only do the 3 fit together great, they unlock the best of eachother. Kyrie's biggest flaws are that he is a SG in a PG body. Harden playing point turns kyrie into what he was in cleveland... a score first guard playing off an elite playmaker. Kyrie makes KD better, because he can break down defenses and allow KD to get to attack closeouts for the entire game off rotations/swings.

KD isnt the deciding factor in a Nets/76ers series. I dont think the sixers could beat a Harden/Kyrie nets team without KD. I think the Nets would beat philly in 5 or 6 games with Harden/Kyrie or Harden/KD. I think if it was Kyrie/KD then philly would have a shot maybe. Harden + one of the other stars just elevates us to an unstoppable level

The fact that we've had 3 Sixer fans come over here to explain their head canon about why they think the Nets will lose speaks volumes. It isn't any of us that they are trying to convince about the Nets' futility, it's themselves. They are literally on here praying for injuries and everything else in between.

They are scared af. The sooner we all realize this about the limp dick mother **** ers, the funnier it will be when scary hours begin.

It is more fun to me then annoying. The "there is only 1 ball stuff" is beyond comical. I mean, in games Kyrie/Harden both play we have the greatest offense of all-time (points per 100 possessions). When all of Kyrie/KD/Harden play we have an even higher points per 100 that would also be the greatest of all time.

All 5 of our starters have 62% TS or higher. there may be only 1 ball, but with us no matter who has it, they score at an elite rate.

Philly needs to worry that the "1 ball" can be forced into an awful shooters hands more so then we have too many great guys and only 1 of them can score any time down the floor.

This doesnt sound like a guy who is overly concerned.
