Just need to keep doing what they're doing for a 47 game losing streak. Or will they fail at failing?

I see PG still giving max effort, diving for loose balls, etc. This team is a complete cluster F, highlighted once again by Embiid being unavailable and unreliable. Don’t know how anyone could flourish in that environment. People gotta stop with the lazy takes.
1000% agree. Glad you've changed your mind after going in on Tyrese to start the year when he was without George, Jared, Joel and hardly had Yabu playing with him. Many still going at it him in this situations
Two totally different situations. People are calling PG cooked and lazy. I never said those things about Maxey. I said his inefficient chucking wasn't impressive early on and he can’t be counted on to carry a team. To date, he still hasn’t done anything to prove otherwise…that doesn't mean I don't think he isn't trying his best or wouldn't be better with a fully functioning roster. He's just limited.

I figure the Big Idiot will try to put on his imaginary cape in March and we will make the play-in. After that, who knows but I do know one thing.....this team isn't going to tank.

The play-in is doing its job... minimizing tanking. That's exactly what Silver wants. These myopic owners saying "oooh we can get an extra 1-4 home games of revenue".
No one is watching this team in the play-in again, though. Complete waste of time.

I agree. The play-in is what's hurting any tank for this team. Even half healthy, we are better than the Bulls, and that ground can be made up in a matter of a week or 2. You really have to be truly terrible to tank, and that is exactly what Silver wants.
BTW, as you say, I stopped watching this team in December. I can't believe I still have league pass, as I don't use it anymore and need to end it......except I still have hope that IF we get healthy. Yeah I'm an idiot.

Yeah, I haven't watched an NBA game since well before Christmas. I have YouTubeTV anyway primarily for UT games, so just in case there is any chance of interest, which is highly doubtful. The league has never held as little interest for me as it has the last couple of years. No compelling teams, too many damn 3-pointers.
