I agree, Ben Simmons and Josh Jackson are the only players I hate more than him. I wouldn't be able to root for Sixers again.

A Sixers fan who hates Ben Simmons lol.

So do I Draymond is just saying what the rest of the league is all thinking.

Durant is part of the snowflake generation of the current NBA. When the going gets tough they get a going. As a Sixer fan I want to win and I know the superteam is the only way to do it in todays environment but I also want to see competition and guys go at each other 1-1. Hard to see that happening when everyone wants to be part of the bananaboat crew. NBA needs to fix this **** at some point.

I'll have a hard time rooting for him also. I suppose I'd get over it after awhile, but I'm just not sure. He represents everything I despise about sports now. Somehow it would feel tainted, just like the last 2 GS titles which feel cheap and worthless.

Man it would be so cool to have Mitchell Robinson playing 13-15 minutes a night.

The thing i hate the most was GSW was playing beautiful basketball before Durant. I was a big fan of it. Now the garbage they are running their is unwatchable.

Ayton’s rim protection numbers have been poor so far. Just 1.8blk% and +2.4 DFG% on shots around 6ft.

As long as you have a jumper and can rebound, it don't matter.

Ayton looks more clued in D wise than in college, which TBH isn't saying that much, but does improve his long-term outlook on that end.

Get rid of max contracts. It would stop the teaming up immediately.

I wonder why there aren't more neurologists and psychologists for the case of Lonzo Ball.

the_process · Post #672 » by **the_process** » Sun Nov 18, 2018 3:52 am

Right when they were doing it right... it seems Vlade and Vivek are mad that Joerger "is emphasizing winning instead of player development", and might fire him because of it. :lol:

Translated, they feel that their coach is showing them up by bringing Bagley off the bench. Well, maybe if you two could draft, Joerger wouldn't have to fix your mistakes.

The only owner who Harris is definitely better than. Kings gonna KANGZ!1!!11!

Also, I'm pissed this could put their pick back at risk of being a high lotto pick for Boston.

His case is clearly mechanical issues so there really is no need for that.

Kobblehead · Post #674 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Nov 18, 2018 4:23 am

So let me get this straight.

Divac snakes Bjelica away from the Sixers in July, after they drafted Bagley, and then gets mad at the coach for starting Belly at the PF spot at the expense of Bagley?

76ciology · Post #675 » by **76ciology** » Sun Nov 18, 2018 5:21 am

Bron is 33.
MJ is 34.

Most wings see a decline at 33-35.

We might have dodged a bullet. I’d guess Bron’s role is to entertain lakers fan now and be a recruiter long term.

So much for getting Vucevic on a reasonable 1 year contract this summer to backup Embiid. Someone is going to give him another multiyear starters contract.

Kobblehead · Post #677 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Nov 18, 2018 12:55 pm

Why are Ball and Ingram still wearing purple and gold? You have an aging LeBron James on your roster. Put players that fit around him.

I wonder, because they have Bamba, if it will be the Magic that gives him this contract.

I'm still not out if I would want Vuc, because not sure if he can work next to Joel.

Post #679 » by **Sixerscan** » Sun Nov 18, 2018 1:28 pm

Vuc has had his hot streaks before. Teams know what he is and his strengths and limitations. A good stretch isn’t going to change anything.

Why did they sign Rondo and Stephenson and McGee and Beasley?

Because they are punting this year and waiting to make all their moves in the offseason. It's possible they make some moves at the deadline, though.

Why are they punting a season with prime LeBron? Because they didn't steal Kawhi out of SA and they couldn't get another star and they know they can't beat GSW.
