Northern Expedition: Sixers @ Raptors Game 5

[AirP.]

The was an embarrassing loss. Its 1 thing to lose, its another to get absolutely destroyed.

If this doesn't motivate anyone for game 6, we deserve to be sent home for the season. Brown will deserve to be canned.

The first half didn't motivate them... why would adding another bad quarter do anything more?

[mksp]

Sixers were only down 13 with the ball when Ben threw it away for no reason. That was it right there.

“Tobias harris trade was dumb.”

As if shamet, muscala and wilson chandler would have made a difference.

Tobias carried this team in the first round.

Now i understand why okc has to breakup their guys.

They just dont fit and repeated demoralizing losing

OKC didn't want to break up their big 4 (KD, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka), the NBA changing Westbrook's max when the D.Rose rule come in effect which made the small market team make decisions with their roster.

The Tobias Harris trade was dumb then. It looks really dumb now. Just a TERRIBLE PANIC move. Now we're going to have to resign this guy for the MAX. He'll be a bad contract as soon as he signs it.

Someone needs to get fired for that trade. Who would that be?

Were you against that trade when it happened?

I remember me and the_process reacting negatively to that trade when it happened. Mostly everyone else was ecstatic.

I knew it was a bad trade because the Sixers gave up way too much and Harris isn't what they needed. What they really needed was a better Roco, not a poor man's melo.

Definitely. Harris had little value as a pending FA about to be massively overpaid. We got absolutely destroyed in that trade.

100% panic move because someone (owner? coach?) felt this team HAD TO go ALL-IN THIS YEAR for some godforsaken reason.

I doubt Landry friggin SHamet would be doing anything for us right now.

I would rather have Tobias this series than Landry, but we might lose anyway. But I’d rather not give Tobias the five year max of $32+ million per year, but we gave up three potential pieces to overly a guy. Even in the new financial landscape of the NBA, is Tobias worth locking into that much of our cap?

His mistakes and body language is very demoralizing. He’s not even rotating or closing out on a high level.

Trade or no trade we lose in the 2nd round.

Now we burned all the rest of our assets and will be stuck with a bloated Harris contract.

So yes, it was super dumb.

Looked at the box score and JJ made 1 basket for the game. WTF.

Can they sign and trade him?

What assets. That heat pick and shamet? What can we get for that?

[jbent87]

We have a serious Ben Simmons problem. Coasting and not showing up when you knew Embiid was coming in at 50% is totally alarming. And you know he's not gonna take any blame post game. Just watch.

[Arsenal]

If Kawhi leaves for LA and therefore Raps rebuild, we need to get Masai Ujiri to be our GM. He's proven to know what he's doing and we need to replace the clown show we currently have masquerading as a front office.

Shamet, Heat pick, another 1st, 2 2nds, and oh about $10-15M cap room wasted on a bad Harris contract.

That would buy us a lot with a competent front office.

Unless they pull this series outta their asses, Brown is likely gone right?

Dont sell me on a 50 win season. Playoff's are what matter and this team simply has NOT looked the part.

Who do we think/want to come in to try and take this team to another level?

[kingofthecourt67]

Demoralizing loss. But glad we got our lip busted. A nice kick in the butt for our guys to come out fired up next game. Same thing happened to Toronto in game 3. They responded in Game 4. I'm expecting a win next game at home. Embiid should be healthy by then. No more sulking.

Fire Brett
Trade Simmons

Is it fully a Ben Simmons problem? Or is there also a coaching problem?

[76ciology]

Im sad because i still believe we are the second most talented team in the league.

We built this team to make it to the finals. What prevent us in getting there was some unforseen sickness and lousy effort.

Luck really plays a big role in life.
