They both literally DIE on screens. Maxey just accepted one and decided to quit

Caleb and George should work with them on that... I'd say that's Maxeys biggest weakness defensively


It creates a lot of driving lanes to the paint and leads to mismatches that the opponent can exploit.

The defensive goal should be to force the opponent into situations where they have to take on a 1v1 against a defender capable of handling them in single coverage.

You either get the opponent attacking mismatches, defense scrambling, and drives to the paint.

We replaced Tobias with Tobias..aka PG....I said from the beginning I wanted no part of PG. None of this is surprising.

Paul George is playing cautious, focused more on avoiding injury than making an impact—just clocking in and out.

We might need to call Luigi

For one last job before Morey trades two FRP at the deadline for DFS because he wrote his magic plan in a stone tablet after letting Harden walk and feels obligated to stick to it.

Or just fire him before he puts this franchise in a hole so deep it takes a decade to dig free from.

Watching teams like the Pacers and Hornets is one thing, but rooting for a team worse than both of them is a whole different level of hell.

I cautioned last game it was the Bulls a team that if they could find a taker for Lavine would be full tank. The two wins were fool's gold and just enough for the Philly curse to screw us both in tanking and then thinking we had any chance to bounce back.

At this point, Morey needs to ask himself whether he’s doubling down (or staying at the course) because he’s emotionally attached to the team he built, or if he genuinely believes this roster has a real shot at winning the championship.

If Morey is allowed by Josh Harris to move any picks for a likely non-upgrade, I swear to God I will hope that the Sixers arena collapses during construction (obviously with nobody inside to be injured)

How about the owners coming in and making the call so everyone below can take a breather.

Smacked in the face, the fear is another orbital fracture, but nothing has been said. They dont' know if anything is broken or concussed but it was a hard smack and he was down for a while.

The fact that a GM of a team has no real emotional ties to the franchise always makes me a bit weary.

If he trades all of our picks for futile win now attempts, especially at this stage of his career - oh well. He'll eventually get fired and move on. We as fans will have to live through the repercussions. Maybe a year or two later he'll be in an advisory role in a new city.

Even Billy King got a job after devastating the Nets.

Maybe the City should reject the stadium, let the team move to Jersey and see if the league will let us start over with an expansion team.
