I know we like to kill Morris, but Stevens loves him. He hunks Morris is an impossible guy to cover and creates nightmares for defenses.
I have an issue with him too. But Stevens really likes his scoring ability. He is the reason Morris is here.

Exactly, still can't reason with what their thought process was. Tatum was exactly what they needed and his athleticism and length would've fit seamlessly with Embiid and Simmons. We all know it's done now but I don't think anybodydautjazz wrote:DEEP3CL wrote:But he was 100% correct, it was clear as day they should've taken another wing guy...but no they wanted to take a point guard because they wasn't sure how Simmons would come back.

Yeah it didn't make any sense to me, to me if you already have a great big and PG, then to me it's logical to go for a wing. I don't think Fultz had the hype that said, you trade up for him when you got Tatum available who is EXACTLY what the team needs, not another damn PG. On top of that, they may have traded the 2nd/3rd pick the 2018 draft or the Kings 2019 pick, regardless it's going to be a great pick.

The fact that you are a clipper fan is as well... keep hating on your 0 championships.

Except they’re not the more talented team at all..
yah that narrative is getting real old.

Simmons is a rookie who will get A LOT better, especially with wake up calls like these. Embiid hasn't even played 2 seasons of games yet. The future is NOT here, no one expected the Sixers to win at this magnitude now expectations have shifted.
The recency effect will cloud people's perceptions of the potential these two guys have and best believe we will attract free agents.
This team will be contenders from year in and year out, unlike the treadmill wizards. Just wait and see.
Everyone had Philly in this series in like 5. Their expectations def change when they went out and traded for shooters, they def tried to speed up their timeline .
Sixers played much better vs Miami. They had movement and good shooting, now they have neither. They got those shooter to get in playoffs and they succeeded in that. Every thing after that is a win. They also knew Simmons weakness which is his shooting ability, so by getting shooters they tried to make his life easier and thus helping his development. I liked this team in first round because of their movement, but now they seem like slow old team without veterans. But I don't think nobody expected them to get to the finals in the beginning of season or even middle of the season, but some started to think they might actually make it, not because they were excellent, but because most of eastern teams were awful in first round.

It should also be noted that he clearly didn't evaluate Tatum correctly. If he saw him as the player we've seen this series, he would have taken him.

By the way, the officiating in this game was a total embarrassment to the NBA. These games are viewed worldwide by knowledgable people. The officiating looked so one sided that I thought I was watching a Tuesday night game in Spanish league division 2. It was so bad that Adam Silver needs to insure that those three guys never call another playoff game.

Miami was the worst of the 16 teams in the playoffs. Very little talent there, and white side is a dog. That Miami team is all spolestra, who is a great coach.
